we had an absolute blast for an hour and a half until the heavy rain and winds took out the electricity. not their fault and they offered us free popcorn and waters if we wanted to wait. Considering that we paid for a full day they offered to make it up to us on another day. great customer service!

It was convenient because I could buy it on the same day and use it. The scale is not large, but I can feed it, and the performance is small but full. It was fun because there were many kinds of birds that I don't see often in other places. It's suitable for viewing for about 2 hours.

I highly recommend Ace, our driver for sightseeing in Bali! He was an excellent driver and guide, providing us with a safe and enjoyable experience. His knowledge of the island and its culture was impressive, and he took us to all the best spots. He was also very friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. Five stars and highly recommended!
