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!

We loved our excursion with The Getaway Camp Bali! Our hosts Nalom and Gede were amazing, and they made us feel so connected to the real Bali. It was great to get to explore Bali from a local’s standpoint, and an even bigger plus that it was sustainable and we were able to give back to the Balinese people. If swimming in Waterfalls and trekking through nature are your thing, highly recommend! And we also had AMAZING food provided. If we’re back in Bali, we’ll be sure to book another excursion with The Getaway Camp Bali!

Loved every minute of this and highly recommend. Our driver Yoga was lovely, Loved visiting the local markets and our coffee / breakfast stop. Yoga was also kind enough to stop at the Sangeh monkey forest for us on the way back since we really wanted to go. Our guide in the jungle Pami was wonderful, so insightful, kind and genuine. Loved learning about all of the different plants. It was a true adventure and escape. And what was best, was that even though it was the rainy season (December) we had great weather, and the tour to ourselves. We didn't see another tourist the entire day. So, this definitely meets the story about authentic experiences with local people. If you are considering this tour, please do it, you won't regret it. 🙏🏼
