Top Bali Snorkeling - page 4

We had already been traveling for about two weeks in Malaysia and other parts of Bali, so we wanted a flexible, go at your own pace tour rather than a pre-planned tour of Ubud. I arranged a private, customized full-day tour of Ubud thru Bali 4U Tours, all via WhatsApp. They explained that my original list of sights which included Tirta Gangga and Lempuyang Temple were 2-2.5 hours away and would need a day to themselves. Texting back and forth with them helped me narrow down a suitable one-day itinerary. When booking a customized tour, just be aware upon checkout whether your price includes entrance fees and other extras so you are prepared with cash if they are not and you have to pay upon entry. Our driver and English speaking guide, Oka picked us up at our Westin Ubud hotel at 9:30am; --he was fantastic! Very upbeat, proud of his Balinese culture, highly respectful of their customs and land, and knowledgable of all the sights. We visited Tirta Empul and participated in the water purification ceremony which my son, husband and I felt was the highlight of our trip. We then went to the Permulan Coffee Plantation to experience various complimentary Balinese teas and coffees including Kopi Luwak (at an extra fee). Next we toured the Gunung Kawi Temple. Knowing I was interested in souvenir shopping, Oka brought us to the Krisna market where the locals shop. Since prices were fixed, it was nice not to have to haggle like we did at the Guwang Market. Our last stop was the Tegenungan Waterfall which we just saw from a top lookout point. Some people walk further down and go into the water but we did not. By the end of the day we were tired and decided not to visit the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, which was the last sight for the day on our itinerary list. We had visited one in Vietnam so didn't feel we were missing much. Most of the other tours build in lunch, but we knew we would be too full from the large breakfast buffet we had at our hotel before starting our tour, so we skipped that. We were highly satisfied with our tour and guide and would recommend this tour to all.

Long day , but we'll worth it , colourful reef and abundant and varied fish species. The Waterfall was very picturesque and we were able to relax in a Warung and enjoy a cold drink whilst viewing the falls. Our driver Vihto was very accommodating in our pick up and drop off and drove very safely

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience! We did the snorkeling and waterfalls. The staff were super organized, friendly, and fun!!! Our driver, Adi, picked us up from our hotel, and immediately we knew we were going to have a good time because of his charisma and fun personality. During snorkeling, we saw a ton of fish, a turtle, and a stingray! Then after snorkeling Adi was kind enough to take us to do coffee tasting at the famous local plantation (which was not a part of the itinerary)!!! We went to the waterfall and took some pics (plan to wait 1 hour in line if it’s busy). He also took us to the best Babi guling (roasted pork) place after waterfall before taking us home. I highly recommend this company!!!
