The yoga was very eye opening and thought provoking. I was able to practice more flexibility. The whole entire day was awesome. From visiting the temple to the aura cleansing I was amazed. The monkey forest was the cherry on top of it all because it was a great ending to the day. My tour guide was amazing and filled with knowledge for sure. I am grateful to have had this as my first tour for my vacation. Definitely set the bar pretty high for what’s to come.

It was a really good experience! We had a guide called Tehnik and he made it a really nice trip with stories and a brisk pace. It is for everyone who likes a good morning walk and who enjoys a fantastic sunrise. Bathing in hot springs and seeing a coffee plantation was really nice after and very authentic!

Absolutely amazing adventure!! Full day of activities we will never forget. Enhanced majorly by our wonderful driver Dekwan Selem Gis, super friendly, polite and gave excellent advice. Would recommend hiring Dekwan as a personal driver for day to day in general! His direct WhatsApp +62 819-1839-2050

Edy and Wayan have been great guides and reliable drivers and made our day easy and appreciable. That we unfortunately could not see a proper sunrise, can not be blamed on them

I loved my tour. Our trekking guide was incredible.
