Top Bali Day Trips

This tour will challenge all your senses and courage but is also exhilarating and unforgettable. It is weather dependent as the wind and moon can affect the waves and the visibility in the water especially at the first stop at Nusa Penida manta point. We went out on a good day 😊 It starts with a bang in the Indian Ocean and is the scariest stop but one of the best parts of the tour. We saw 6-7 manta rays, one so close up its wing almost clipped my face. The rays are incredibly beautiful and graceful creatures. You have to jump from the boat into the waves, holding your snorkel and takes a minute or two to orientate to being sloshed around in the waves and current. It is not the deep blue as you can see the bottom of the sea from a height at the surface but yeah, all good, keep calm. Our wonderful guide Vino and Jack will check visibility and current and took good care of us. Wear the lifejacket if you are not confident in the water. Vino was a star in spotting mantas and giant sea turtles (I saw 4 over two snorkelling spots) so try to keep close to him. If you get seasick, do take your seasickness pills ahead of time. The motion is quite relentless because you are on a boat or in the water all morning. The first (manta point) stop is the choppiest and then it gets calmer in the other snorkelling spots as we do gentle drift snorkelling with the current and see multitude of colourful fishes and coral reefs. Lunch was good at a scenic spot with a heavenly gate photo op. If you have motion sickness, you have the option to stay behind at the lunch place to have a nap on outdoor beds and give the land tour a miss. This avoids the twisty bumpy 40 minute car ride to Kelingking Beach and back. You may find you do not miss much as the view from the lunch place is equally spectacular and Kelingking Beach was very crowded. Our boat ride from Nusa Penida back to Sanur was bumpy. The captain had to cut the engine once or twice when coming across a big wave. That added to the fun but not for those with seasickness. Vino took lots of photos and videos with the go pro camera and sent us the link to them at the end of the tour. All in all, it was a thrilling and memorable experience. This is a well-planned and organised tour with good equipment. Unlike other reviews, I felt we had enough time at each spot and did not feel rushed. I highly commend Vino, Jack, the captain of our boat and the various sea creatures!

This tour was the highlight of our 5-day trip at Ubud, Bali. Our driver and tour guide, Gus Kumara, was a really great guide who kept us engaged not only at the sites but during the long drives from place to place. He was very friendly, really knowledgeable about the temples and locales, and patiently waited for us to explore around and take our time, even when we ended the tour later than the stipulated time. He shared with us a lot about Balinese culture, family life, Balinese new year and special days, and even about stories he's heard about the occult and much more! He's also a great photographer who helped us take plenty of pictures during the tour. Highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors to Bali, as the rice terrace we visited was under UNESCO (so it was less tourist-y and more authentic) and they have the option to purchase all the tickets and provide authentic Indonesian cuisine for lunch, and the cost for the full package was very reasonable for each pax. Thank you Gus for being a great guide for our tour!

We had a beautiful day driving to East Bali. Sakha our driver made the early morning 2 hour drive to Gate of Heaven very pleasant. He gave us a lot of information about the island and took us through beautiful not so busy roads. We really enjoyed his company and appreciated him showing us that part of Bali!

We had an amazing time on our Blue Lagoon snorkeling tour! The water was crystal clear and the experience was seamless from start to finish. A special shout-out to our driver, Soma. He was incredibly professional and made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. Throughout the drive, he shared excellent "insider" tips and local hints that you won't find in a guidebook, which really helped us navigate the rest of our trip. If you're looking for a well-organized tour with a driver who genuinely cares about your experience, ask for Soma!

Putu our lovely guide was waiting for us. He chatted & answered questions. We had a truly lovely day. Highlight for me was the Jungle Swings Photo Shoots, there were many to choose from and they took the pictures with your own phone (no hidden costs), we enjoyed the Monkey Forest too, monkeys & fox bats. We opted to do the glass walk above the waterfall. The waterfall was a little disappointing but the views made up for it. A very good day

My driver, Rob, was so friendly and kind to me. On the way to the hotel, he stopped at a coffee plantation which was absolutely amazing. He was very accommodating and talked a lot about the local culture and things to see and do. It was very refreshing to have someone who was so accommodating, not knowing what to expect in Bali and traveling solo. Part of my amazing experience in Bali had to do with the first interaction I had with anyone there, which was Rob! Thank you so much.

We had an amazing time ATV riding, and I can’t recommend this excursion enough! The ride itself was incredibly fun — full of excitement, great views, and just the right amount of adventure. Definitely come prepared to get a bit muddy! I recommend bringing a change of clothes and socks. They provide boots, lockers, shower rooms, and towels, which makes everything super convenient. You can also buy ponchos in the shop if you need them. A special shoutout to Bawi, our driver, who was so nice and professional the entire time. He took great care of us and made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a memorable and enjoyable excursion, this is absolutely the one to choose!

Our driver confirmed with us the day before by WhatsApp and arrived to the hotel on time. He made sure we got to the airport, although brought us to the International Departures at first and had to reroute to bring us to Domestic as he had assumed we were leaving the country.
