It’s about a 3 hour car...

Seth_H, Oct 2025

It’s about a 3 hour car ride (from Lovina) up a very windy, narrow and slow mountain road only to arrive a the lake (not yet the destination) and then a 30 minute trip by boat… one way! It was not a good experience because of the travel involved and we were not told about the time to travel or the road ahead of time. We didn’t even get to go because we got physically ill on the LONG car ride there.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the journey caused discomfort and that you were unable to continue with the activity. You are absolutely right that the drive from Lovina involves a long mountain route with winding and narrow roads, followed by a boat crossing to reach the lake area. We sincerely apologize that this travel time and road condition were not clearly communicated in advance. This is important information, especially for guests who may be sensitive to long or winding journeys, and we understand how this led to an unpleasant experience for you. Your feedback is taken very seriously. We will use this to improve our tour descriptions and pre-trip communication so future guests are better informed and can decide comfortably whether the tour suits them. Once again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience and discomfort you experienced, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

something different and interesting but very unusual

ekaterina_d, Jun 2024

This tour is very interesting. It does not look like any other tours we did. Definitely, before the tour, I would recommend reading and researching the topic. If you are interested in local traditions and culture, If you are not scared about the topic of death, and if you like to see something that 99% of tourists would never see- then this tour is for you. I am sure that in 10-20 years these places will be prohibited for tourists to visit. So hurry up. Thanks to our tour guide Kadek, we understood much better many local traditions and beliefs. He told us very interesting stories. He is an excellent source of information not just a driver. In addition, at the end of the tour, we left our bag in the car and Kadek organized for us a taxi from Denpasar to bring the bag to Ubud. Thank you very much Kadek.
