we did the ATV and white water rafting and both experiences were AMAZING! from start to finish the day was beautiful and our guides were great. the lunch was lovely and the shower afterwards was comfortable. I will warn against the 400 steps to and from the rafting but overall it’s a great experience :)

Our private Ubud tour was fantastic, thanks to our exceptional guide,, Mr Mertha. He took us to the stunning Tegenungan Waterfall, spiritual Tirta Empul, serene rice terraces, and enchanting Monkey Forest, sharing insightful information and helpful tips at every stop. His professionalism, kindness, and excellent driving made the day seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour and guide for an unforgettable experience!

Our tour was excellent! Eka our driver/guide was very accommodating and flexible with timings. Eka accompanied us to some of the destinations and was very insightful, whilst at the same time gave us time and space to explore. We managed to fit a lot in, and was great value for money. Would highly recommend!

pretty cool experience. one of thr better atv experiences i have done. and the lunch after is cooked to order at their day club vs the usual bali belly buffet affair. transfers are outsourced, driver kept trying to upsell us to go to various ‘additional’ activities. kick backs and all those things.
