Feb 21 - Mar 3, 2023
A 'must go back soon' experience! From the moment we sent the initial enquiry to KimKim, through to the final drop off at the departure airport, we knew we had made the right decision!
Theresa (and rest of team in Bali when she was on vacation) made us feel 'at home', relaxed and confident we would enjoy the trip.
Our driver/guide Padma was amazing; we got to know him very well. Polite, safe driver and respectful of our privacy if we just wanted to wander by ourselves
Highlights...many...but highly recommend the Morning Sunrise Trek (awesome guide from #ikakomangfrombali (on IG)); jungle trek to the eco-cafe, where you can grind and roast your own coffee beans in front of spectacular waterfall!; the Monkey Forest is a must...yes it may be a little touristy, but you have to go. Amazing creatures!; Bali cooking class was exceptional...we had private class (Vegan) and was superb host. Not just the cooking but history and culture of Balinese family and house (#ubadubudbali); and then the rice fields...so many to see and you get to walk around (short or long walk) one of the most spectacular in the country; temples! do not be surprised with how many temples there are...we spent quality time at probably 4 or 5 and each had a different history...make sure you have someone like Padma to make sense of it all!
Plenty of other things to see...even the beaches in Santur are nice; peaceful and great for kids/families...we didn't go to the other side to see the surfers!
So, all in all best experience we can remember AND the Balinese are just so sincerely friendly
Activity Review
Excellent...our tour guide was amazing. She was attentive, gauged our ability to hike and adjusted pace accordingly! #ikakomangfrombali
