Review of Bali’s Blue Lagoon snorkeling tour with Lempuyang Temple, lunch, private transport, guides, costs, and practical tips.
“Our guide Agus was the complete highlight of the tour! He was incredibly nice from the moment he picked us up, to the moment he dropped us home. He showed us the most amazing scenery and answered all of our questions. Next time we come to Bali, we will be booking this tour again mainly because of him. The snorkeling was of course very fun as well. There was so much to see underwater!”
Review of Bali’s Blue Lagoon snorkeling and waterfall tour, with private pickup, lunch, calm waters, family appeal, value, and practical tips.
“Although the places we visited were nice, I qualify this as a bad experience. First of all, the driver Adi, had borrowed a car with double tinted windows, so it was difficult to look out or take pictures, In the end we just drove with open windows. Second, from the moment we took off he drove as if he was in the Indy 500. Several times we asked for him to slow down so we could see things and take pics. He also admitted himself he spoke hardly no English and when we used our translate app to ask what a certain site or building was, he would answer:" Oh…”
Review of Bali Blue Lagoon snorkeling from Seminyak, with private transfers, two reef stops, Indonesian lunch, optional waterfalls, and practical tips.
“The Bali Blue Lagoon snorkelling activity is a fantastic experience! We started our day with a private pickup from our hotel to the snorkelling site, making it easy and comfortable. Once we got to the Blue Lagoon, the snorkelling gear is provided, and the guides are friendly and helpful. After snorkelling, you get to enjoy a tasty lunch with local Balinese dishes, which is a great way to relax and recharge. The whole trip is well-organised, especially with a private driver picking you up from your hotel and you not having to worry about arranging any transportation. Only bad today was bad weather which prevented us from snorkelling at the…”

Review of Ubud Ayung River rafting with hotel pickup, safety gear, buffet lunch, jungle views, waterfalls, and practical tips.
“If you are in Ubud and have couple of hours to spare go for Ayung River rafting. It is easy, relaxing and well organized. We were contacted very soon after booking and given the details of next morning pick up from our hotel. This is how we met Wayan - our good spirit in Bali. Wherever we moved later on in Bali Wayan was with us, helping us to move from Ubud to Munduk and from Munduk to Nusa Dua. Lots of discussion in the car, tens of questions and answers about Bali and its culture and habits - all explained by Wayan. We did our rafting with Lili -…”

Review of Bali’s Blue Lagoon snorkeling tour, with private transport, two reef stops, lunch, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“We didn't realize the drive from Nusa Dua would be two hours each way otherwise we'd have not done this tour- just something to be aware of. The driver and the snorkeling company were amazing! The lunch was so good as well. However, the snorkeling was terrible- dirty water with lots of garbage- awful visibility. That's no fault of the company, but it's definitely not worth the long drive.”
Review of Ubud’s Ayung River rafting tour with waterfalls, a swim stop, hotel transfers, buffet lunch, safety gear, and practical tips.
“I went on this with my wife and son and we had a real laugh - it was a lot of fun but also a little adventurous and absolutely beautiful on the river. The final float down the river, out of the raft was really relaxing, and the lunch provided was yummy. We all had a blast and would recommend it - but be ready for lots of steps down to and up from the river itself.”
