Great experience with some absolutely beautiful views. I wish there was more structure/clarity with the timing & schedule. For example, first stop for an hour, second stop for 1.5 hours, etc. Eg. we seemed to rush through the first couple stops and ended up with 2.5 hours at Crystal Bay (the final stop). I would have preferred longer spent at the prior stops. At Kelingking Beach we were told it would take 30min to walk down to the beach & 30min back up, we chose not to as we were worried about time constraints. In hindsight, we should have spent the additional time there, as it was the most beautiful/scenic stop. BE PATIENT & TAKE YOUR TIME! Thank god for the air con vehicle, it is hot! Also take plenty of your own water. It says water is provided but its only 600ml each. Water is available at stops along the way but make sure you’re prepared. Roads are extremely tight & bumpy, there’s a little warning about it but if you don’t travel well make sure to take quells etc.

The trip was amazing. The tour guide, Gusti was his name, made us feel secured and cared for the entire trip. He managed to get the best spots for a photo and made us feel cared for during the boat ride as well as the trip on Nusa penida as well. Also our driver, shutri, helped out as a photographer. Even on the scariest of roads he drive safely and swiftly. An amazing experience well worth the price!

I had a great day trip. My driver picked me up on time and also the ride around the island was comfortable. Our guide - Dewa, was very enthusiastic and told us a lot about the culture of the locals. He also took pictures! Would highly recommend this day trip if you have limited number of days for your Bali trip.

Great value. Lots to see. Knowledgeable and friendly guides. Loved this one.

Best Tourguide Mang Saleh! Perfekt. Thank you very much
