It was a pretty good trip. I think that I thought there would be a better value for what we were paying for the trip. We paid for 6 people (2 adults/4 kids). I think if we would have just paid for 2 adults the value would have been great, but since we paid nearly $500 USD it didn't seem to be a great value. That being said, all of the hosts and guides were amazing and I am glad to pay the money so hopefully they will get paid well for the trip. Pros: Amazing hosts Breakfast amazing Lunch was amazing Hike was very easy for kids and very informational which we enjoyed The boat ride was fun although short. The waterfalls were amazing! (challenging hike back up to the car with 4 kids) Cons: not great value boat was made of fiberglass not a true "dugout" as was mentioned in the listing

This was a really authentic experience. Trekking through the jungle was fantastic. Our guide was able to show us all kinds of natural fruits and uses for things found in the jungle. Our breakfast next to the lake was stunning and lunch was delicious. We enjoyed our trek down to the waterfalls, despite the fact that it was pouring rain. We would absolutely recommend this company again for their professionalism and a fantastic product

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.

Really fun day exploring the beauty of Munduk! We started by trying some unique fruits at a local market. Next was breakfast on top of the hill overlooking the lake. Beautiful. We then decided to trek in the jungle before the waterfalls so we weren’t wet (also a good choice because it rains here more often in the afternoon so we were dry in the jungle) and saw some absolutely amazing trees. Komang was a wonderful guide, telling us the names and information of fruits, berries, trees, and other plants that gave us a chance to learn a lot about nature in Bali. It continues to amaze me how abundant the edible plants are and how the Balinese people incorporate them into soups and other meals. We canoed across the lake which is an amazing way to see the lush jungle. We then had lunch at the local home after passing by fields of beautiful blue and white hydrangeas—which I particularly loved. I felt like I was in a fairy land. The lunch was so delicious! Traditional Balinese food made with ingredients right from their garden. We saw a few temples along the way. And last we hiked the waterfalls. At this point it was down-pouring. They have rain coats and large umbrellas—I encourage you to take both. Not ideal, but honestly we just laughed about it all and enjoyed seeing the beautiful waterfalls. None of us swam. Putu, our guide, was very helpful and a good time. Prepare for over 15,000 steps throughout the day, but to be well fed and well taken care of by everyone involved. Highly recommend for a chance to see a lot of Munduk without being rushed!

Everything from the hotel pick up , communication and the experience itself was great. Our guides were extremely friendly and informative. The tour itself felt more authentic with far less tourists than all the other areas we visited in bali. The rainforest trek was gorgeous and for the canoe experience we had the entire lake to ourselves. After the trek we were set up with a home cooked meal on a rooftop terrace which was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone coming to bali.
