Bali Tour: Cepung Waterfall, Penglipuran Village, & Mt Batur View

Suzanne_L, Nov 2025

Hilarious and Fun Day

Our guide Okta made this such a memorable day. He was very informative. Drove safely and made us feel very comfortable. He also provided us with many laughs. Unfortunately the weather was not the greatest and at times while driving there was very little visibility. Okta handled it all and we never worried. We weren't able to go the the waterfall promoted but an alternative was found. Little word of warning. My friend and I both swam but only I was affected by a type of water parasite. Has left me with an going rash, nothing too drastic, but just be aware if you swimming in Bali. Overall would recommend this tour.
