“I enjoyed the hike through the jungle and the canoe ride was pleasant, eventhough we had to wait 15 min as there were other tourists waiting in line. The food was excellent and really tasty. IMO the waterfall was the best part and it finalized our tour. Be ready for a long walk up and down the stairs to the waterfall as it can be very tiring for some. Our driver and guide were both well informed on the culture and nature of Bali, which was very helpful and professional as they were able to answer all of our questions. Both of them were very nice and social as well.…”
