Edi our driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable about about areas we were going to. the snorkelling was fantastic, huge amount of beautiful fish & stingrays - the water was beautiful and clear. we had to change our tour during the day due to illness and Edi was able to provide us with different options which was fantastic. he is also a great photographer at the waterfalls. highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic day out. Once in a lifetime. Had an experienced, friendly and patient dive instructor who gave me training, took me on 2 dives, and generally just took great care of me. Would recommend this to any first time diver (or experienced diver!). The lagoon is beautiful, we saw 3 turtles and an array of other creatures too! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic day out. Our guide Nyoman was great. He was full of lots of knowledge. The canyoning part of this tour far exceeded our expectations, but was not for the faint hearted as it required a lot of climbing along the rock ledge in the canyon. Would definitely recommend this tour and Nyoman.

Amazing experience. Our driver Raka was great company and shared a lot of Balinese culture and traditions with us along the way. We were glad to have him as our driver. The snorkeling was fun but the best part was the River Rafting!

The tour was amazing and so much fun! Our driver Edi was so wonderful and gave us so much information. I recommend this tour 100%! Thank you to Edi for such a great experience!
