We did the jungle hike, Canoe and waterfall tour. It was a fantastic experience and felt so far off the beaten track. Understanding that you are supporting a group/co-operative of families whilst also learning about the culture and the beautiful nature is awesome. Eating a home cooked meal in the family home is great and hard to replicate. They have put together something special. I would say you need a decent level of fitness as some of the hike/waterfall walk can be quite steep. Great day out, we loved it.

Amazing communication and kindness and hospitality. My guide was extraordinary, going out of his way to give a great experience, find unique fruit for me to try, sharing stories, helping me to understand daily life in the Balinese culture, all while doing a great hike and boat ride. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this excursion to get out of the crowds and see nature. The guided hike was amazing and I learned about many plants—sadly didn’t see much wildlife. The four waterfalls we saw were pretty unreal. The lunch at a local home was tasty and nice to see an Indonesian family home. Thanks for the great day.
