Gala-Gala Underground House mga tour

I participated as a solo traveler. Everything else was similar to other services, but it was a bit hard to understand why we had to gather so early in the morning. We ended up leaving together with people who arrived nearly an hour later than me. Putting all that aside, I am leaving this review because I want to praise our driver, Diana. She wasn't overly eloquent and didn't lead the atmosphere like other guides, but her driving skills were truly top-notch. I watched from the front passenger seat, and she really made an effort to prevent passengers from being jolted on rough roads while still keeping driving time to a minimum. Also, although I don't like taking selfies and didn't take any, I could see her sweating profusely to take wonderful photos and videos for other women in the same group, which made me feel that she is someone who takes her job very seriously. Rather than someone who talks a lot, I commend her for reliably getting the job done through her actions.

Medyo mahirap ang tour sa Nusa Penida, pero napakaganda ng mga tanawin at talagang sulit ito! Si Agosh ang naging gabay at driver ko sa buong isla, na naghatid sa akin sa bawat destinasyon. Nahilo at sumama ang pakiramdam ko sa unang puntod dahil sa matatarik na hagdan at napakainit na panahon, pero napakabait at matulungin niya. Inalagaan niya ako at nag-alok pa siyang buhatin ako pabalik sa itaas! Mabuti na lang at guminhawa ang pakiramdam ko pagkatapos ng kalahating oras, pero sobra kong na-appreciate ang alok niya. Nakarating pa rin ako sa Diamond Beach, at napakaalisto ni Agosh, tinutulungan ako kung saan dapat humakbang sa matatarik na hagdan. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko ito magagawa kung wala siya. Pagkatapos ng biyahe sa bangka pabalik sa Seminyak, si Andi naman ang naging driver ko. Ang dapat lang sana ay ihatid niya ako sa meeting point pero mabait siyang nag-alok na ihatid na ako diretso sa hotel ko dahil malapit lang naman. Masaya raw siya na ginawa ito, at naging maganda ang kuwentuhan namin habang nasa biyahe. Maraming salamat, Agosh at Andi, sa napakagandang pag-aalaga sa akin at sa pagpapaganda pa lalo ng aking biyahe!

Sa pangkalahatan, ang day tour na ito sa Nusa Lembongan at Ceningan ay isang magandang karanasan. Ang snorkeling, Blue Lagoon, at Devil's Tear ang mga highlight. Mas bughaw ang dagat kaysa sa mainland ng Bali, at ang mga isla ay may mas mabagal at mas nakakarelaks na kapaligiran. Maayos ang pagkakaplano ng transportasyon, kasama ang bangka, pagsundo sa pantalan, transportasyon sa isla, at pabalik na biyahe. Napakakumportable nito para sa mga manlalakbay na ayaw magplano ng lahat nang mag-isa. Gayunpaman, mas naramdaman ito na isang serbisyo ng driver at transportasyon kaysa sa isang tunay na guided tour, dahil halos walang paliwanag. Maaaring maging baku-bako ang bangka at mga kalsada sa isla, ngunit sa pangkalahatan ay naramdaman itong ligtas. Inirerekomenda ko pa rin ang tour na ito, bagaman medyo mataas ang presyo para sa mga kasama.

What an amazing day on Penida! we were picked up by our guide, Ariya, who took us to our snorkelling meeting point (even messaged us to make sure we knew what time hed arrive) and helped get us organised! the snorkelling didn't disappoint as we saw a mighty Manta Ray almost as soon as we hit the water. from there we saw reefs and fish and had a great time exploring the flourishing waters of the island. we got back and found Ariya waiting to show us the sights on the Eastern side of the island. his driving left us feeling safe throughout (not his fault the roads are bumpy. lol). the highlight of the afternoon was the twinbgem of Diamond and Atuh Beaches. both amazing. the tour was incredible, start to finish! would highly recommend!

The tour content was wonderful. We encountered mysterious mangroves, sea turtles, and pods of dolphins while snorkeling, and the boat staff were also great! There was a delicious lunch with choices. But what made this tour perfect was our tour guide. They immediately accommodated a change in the pickup location on the morning of the tour. They ensured we had comfortable spots all day. Their service was polite and kind, and their Japanese was excellent. They offered suggestions that met our requests. They were truly so helpful! We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves thanks to our guide's wonderful smile! I highly recommend this tour to everyone 😊

Dodit was an exceptional driver and tour guide. He was an incredibly safe driver despite the bumpy and windy roads, always taking care to driver slowly, and alerting others with the horn when turning blind corners. He was supportive and offered to take photos of us on numerous occassions. On the second day, unfortunately one of us felt unwell, perhaps from food poisoning. We decided to end the tour early and return to the port. Dodit was again very supportive and stopped when requested on the side of the road when we wanted to go out and vomit. He gave us the options to go to a clinic on the iand, or go to the port and seek care on the main Bali island. We were feeling better sondediced to return to the port. Dodit was flexible even when we were uncertain about exactly what we wanted to do. Nusa Penida is really nice and we got some exceptional photos. It is all the more comfortable with an excellent driver like Dodit.

I think I got a good deal. However, it was a bit different from the itinerary. We were picked up around 7:10 AM and arrived at the harbor, where we waited for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. It was a bit tiring just waiting around and doing nothing. We were told we'd go to Manta Point, but there were about three mantas at Manta Bay, so we snorkeled there instead. The island tour visits three spots, but it's more like three spots in one area for about an hour. We also had to wait a bit long for the return boat. Other than that, I'm satisfied with everything. The lunch was decent, and we could shower. Photos cost 300,000 Rupiah.

Maaga kaming bumiyahe nang umaga (4:30 a.m.) patungong Thousand Islands at sa tree house. Nakakuha kami ng ilang magagandang larawan ng pagsikat ng araw. May ilang matatarik na hagdan na kailangang babaan at akyatin pabalik 😂 Pagkatapos noon, nagmaneho kami sandali patungo sa Diamond at Atuh Viewpoints. Hindi na kami bumaba sa alinman sa dalawang baybayin. Napakatarik ng daan patungong Diamond Beach, at hindi na rin sulit pumunta sa Atuh Beach dahil kaunti ang tubig. Sa halip, pumunta kami sa Goa Giri Temple—na matatagpuan sa loob ng isang kuweba. Si Arya, ang aming drayber at gabay, ay mahusay na ginawa ang kanyang trabaho. Bilang isang lokal, kabisado niya ang mga daan at napakamaaalahanin sa aming mga hiling. Nakabalik kami nang eksaktong oras sa ganap na 10 a.m.
