I loved my trip with the Getaway Camp. My driver Ryan was punctual and he was great at answering my constant questions. I loved eating fruit I’d never seen before at the traditional market and have a mad breakfast of fried bananas chocolate honey and cheese - delicious! And it was at a lookout with an amazing view. My guide through the forest, Comer was also very knowledgeable and interesting. He also had a great sense of humour! The forest was spectacular. Full of giant ficus and palms. A true rainforest!!! After the hike we paddled across the lake with the help of a strong and friendly woman Lunch was great. So tasty and exactly what I needed to refuel. I am so glad I chose to go with the Getaway Camp as it really does benefit local Munduk people. Thanks so much!!!

Explore the bit more unknown Bali. We did the Ancient jungle trekking and remote waterfalls experience and loved all elements of it. Our driver Rian introduced us to a local market on the way. We tried nearly all the different fruits and snacks. Nearly full we had a yummy breakfast with a view. Next stop rainforest with local guide Ilu who had grown up in the area and knew a lot about the plants and animals. In between we crossed the lake in a canoe, walked a bit further to our lunch in the village. Waterfalls were next. There were hardly any people there. Highly recommend the whole experience.

Highly recommend! Putu and the whole Getaway camp crew were amazing. So friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating and authentic. After pick up from Ubud we made a quick stop at a market for fresh fruit and then we were taken to a Warung on top of a ridge line for breakfast with an amazing view. We learnt a lot treking through a protected forest and the canoe trip back across the lake to basecamp was the highlight. After a short walk we we served a delicious and authentic meal at Getaway camp headquarters then were taken to the waterfalls. Even though it’ll the rain was bucketing down, it was beautiful and enjoyable (make sure you bring a rain jacket!).We were then driving back to Ubud with snacks and smiles.
