What an amazing ride crossing one of the craziest terrain! Price wise its cheaper than elsewhere. We came earlier than our time slot but they let us join earlier trip which is superb. Shout out to our guide Turbo for making the ride memorable, lunch buffet is included which is great. Highly recommended activity when you are in Bali!

We have so much fun as a family of 4 adults. The guide was really good and fun. He did most of the hard work and even took pictures for us on our phone. the lunch was good too. The downside was the climb up and down the steep steps, you need to be reasonably fit. The photos and videos taken by them were IDR 300k per set.

The river boat ride took about 2 hours, and the buggy ride took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, so we had a very fulfilling day! It was great that we had lunch and two snacks! We had to go down about 400 steps to get to the river boat. On the way back, it was 100 steps. I'd like to go river boating again when I come to Bali!

Highly recommended to book this tour when you in Bali!! I'm normally not a morning person but this tour is worth it to wake up at 2am!! Our driver Surya was amazing, he picked us up at right on time from the hotel. Very friendly and informative. Our jeep driver Anom was fantastic, even though the road up the mountain was so bumpy and dark but he made us feel comfortable and safe. We got so many great photos and definitely a memorable and unforgettable experience!! Thanks Anom and Surya!!
