We had a great time with Getaway Camp Bali doing the jungle trek and waterfall experience. It was a fun way to get off the beaten track and surround ourselves with nature. Highly recommend the experience!

I spent a wonderful day in and around Munduk with my nine year old son. Komang and his dad drove and showed us around in the forests and lake. The surroundings and their company really made it a unique and fun experience for us that we will cherish.

Amazing hosts and a great hike and journey. Definitely I would recommend this tour. Our family had a great time and also learned so much about the people and the culture in the area. Not to mention the stunning waterfalls. We will be back for their survival course also!

We loved this experience! Yoga was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire day, he had a huge drive to pick us up and drop us back home, it didn’t go unnoticed and was appreciated. Pammy was a wonderful guide through the rainforest and so knowledgeable, we learnt a lot. We enjoyed eating the delicious lunch and talking with Yoga, and swimming in the waterfall with Yoga too. Such a beautiful day with expert guides, we highly recommend this experience.

The trip was really well organized and coordinated from pick-up at our accommodation to drop-off. Our guide was Yoga and he was so helpful to ensure we were always well-fed and taken care of! We also visited his grandmother’s place and had his family was really hospitable as well! Although we didn’t have the best weather during our trip, he still ensured that we were able to do the planned activities safely. The meals prepared by the village chief and his family were absolutely delicious. (Best corn fritters we have eaten!) Thank you so much for making our camping trip a fun one!

What an amazing trip! I can’t recommend it and this company enough! Within minutes of booking everything was confirmed. Our host has contacted us and provided all necessary information before our trip. The next morning we were picked up by Yoga. This gentle soul has taken such a good care of us the whole day! He really managed to convey his love for his village which we had an opportunity to visit. There took another guide us on a jungle treck and canoe paddle. Thereafter a nice lunch at the villages guest house. And after that - the highlight of the trip - the visit to the magically beautiful waterfalls. With no other tourists around. What a gem! There was also a visit to the market, tons of delicious fruit, a lot of interesting information about the nature and kind, and the best: warm welcoming everywhere. Loved every minute of it!
