We had an amazing time with our guide Adi trekking through the jungle and canoeing. Walking through the dense forrest we learnt a lot about flowers, plants and trees, like the original banana tree. Additionally, the old temples and the waterfalls of Banyumala were beautiful to behold. The guide told us that around the temple, there used to be a village, but flooding caused people to move away, also giving a sense of how people live with their surroundings here.

Putu is a lovely, caring guide. She is well prepared and you immediately understand she loves her job and she is passionate about her culture. Every single activity of the itinerary was amazing. If there would be 6 stars, I would select them!

We had a lovely day with our amazing guide Putu! She was such a fountain of knowledge during this tour which made the experience so interesting. Putu talked to us about all of the flora and fauna in the jungle, showing us plants and explaining them. She explained Balinese culture to us, the religions and the different types of temples and symbolism. She also kindly gave us wooden hiking sticks to make our jungle trek easier! The trek was lovely and along the way we had some tea and traditional Balinese cakes that Putu had bought for us. We canoed across the lake which was peaceful and relaxing, before visiting Banyumala Twin Waterfall and Putu took some pictures for us while we were there. We then went to a lovely home stay belonging to Kadek and his family, and had a delicious Balinese lunch before heading back home. THANK YOU SO MUCH PUTU!! You made our day amazing and went above and beyond! Terima Kasih!!

It is truly impossible to clearly articulate how absolutely amazing this adventure was for our group of six. From start to finish, the adventures more than exceeded our expectations. Upon entering the cruise terminal, we were greeted by our driver, Youdi, who drove us safely approximately 1.5 hours to meet our tour guide, Agung, where our jungle trekking experience began. For about 1.5 hours, we hiked, mostly downhill, to see the TwinLake. Stopping along the way, we took in many beautiful sights along with learning the history behind these sights. My husband and I aren’t avid hikers, unlike the other four people we were trekking with, but that wasn’t a problem because Agung was patient and accommodating recognizing the abilities of all members in the group. Once we got to the TwinLake, there were canoes waiting to take us across the lake. To say the views were breathtaking, would be an understatement. It truly was hard to capture the natural beauty in our photos. There was a temple at the end of our canoe ride where we were able to take great pictures. Immediately following this adventure, we headed to Banyumala Waterfall. To reach the location where you enter the hiking path to the waterfall, we got to ride on mopeds…How cool! After taking some brilliant pictures at the waterfall, we jumped into the refreshing water to cool off. We had the most delicious dinner prepared by Agung’s family at the family home. Julia soup was our first course, and then for the main course we enjoyed homemade chicken, corn cakes, and a bean salad! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. We were offered coffee made from the beans grown on the family farm…such an unbelievably smooth cup of coffee! We were able to purchase a bag of beans to take home with us. Thank you to Agung and his family for providing us with a truly incredible and authentic experience during our time in Bali. After dinner, Youdi, our driver, took us safely back to the cruise port. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, and one that is unique and out of the box, this one is for you. We will cherish the memories from our amazing adventures forever! Please note insect repellent, although we didn’t encounter many insects, and trekking poles are provided.
