We will explore the nature wonders of North Bali known as Wanagiri Hill, Buyan and Tamblingan Lake with jungles surrounding it, riding canoe with locals then visit Ulan Danu Tamblingan temple on the Lake. This activity is perfect to get away from mainstream tourism spots. It’s probably one of the most beautiful place in Bali, and very rural compared to most tourist sites in the North that are not so easy reached without local.

This is my second time to join this trip.First time with my husband and we have a wonderful memories.This time,i and my aunite and sister came back to Bali and join this tour again.It only worth 3 stars.First,we share a car with two person. My sister has 170cm and cannot seat well in the back.The legs cannot put well.The whole trip is 1.5hours and we cannot handle it.So we took a car by myself and paid IDR1,000,000 by ourselves.The organiser never say any words for that.
For whole trip,I remebered last time,when we has a canoeing,the guide has many snack for local food provided.This time,nothing for it.
We don't think it is a worth trip.Only trekking and canoeing has spent more than SGD100.All the transporation fee paid by ourseleves.

It is truly impossible to clearly articulate how absolutely amazing this adventure was for our group of six. From start to finish, the adventures more than exceeded our expectations.
Upon entering the cruise terminal, we were greeted by our driver, Youdi, who drove us safely approximately 1.5 hours to meet our tour guide, Agung, where our jungle trekking experience began.
For about 1.5 hours, we hiked, mostly downhill, to see the TwinLake. Stopping along the way, we took in many beautiful sights along with learning the history behind these sights.
My husband and I aren’t avid hikers, unlike the other four people we were trekking with, but that wasn’t a problem because Agung was patient and accommodating recognizing the abilities of all members in the group.
Once we got to the TwinLake, there were canoes waiting to take us across the lake. To say the views were breathtaking, would be an understatement. It truly was hard to capture the natural beauty in our photos. There was a temple at the end of our canoe ride where we were able to take great pictures.
Immediately following this adventure, we headed to Banyumala Waterfall. To reach the location where you enter the hiking path to the waterfall, we got to ride on mopeds…How cool!
After taking some brilliant pictures at the waterfall, we jumped into the refreshing water to cool off.
We had the most delicious dinner prepared by Agung’s family at the family home. Julia soup was our first course, and then for the main course we enjoyed homemade chicken, corn cakes, and a bean salad! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic.
We were offered coffee made from the beans grown on the family farm…such an unbelievably smooth cup of coffee! We were able to purchase a bag of beans to take home with us.
Thank you to Agung and his family for providing us with a truly incredible and authentic experience during our time in Bali.
After dinner, Youdi, our driver, took us safely back to the cruise port.
If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, and one that is unique and out of the box, this one is for you.
We will cherish the memories from our amazing adventures forever!
Please note insect repellent, although we didn’t encounter many insects, and trekking poles are provided.

Such a wonderful day with my guide Deddy! He is incredibly wonderful. We had a great time hiking in the wild forest and talking about Balinese culture. Definitely recommend!

I was taking the trip alone, as my husband was sick. They offered to reschedule, but our travel plan did not allow it.
We had 1 hour walk in the jungle, enjoyed the short canoe trip accross the lake and saw two temples on the way. Then a short drive and descend to visit the waterfall. It was beautiful, not too populated and refreshing to swim. Before the end I got to enjoy delicious lunch at a local house.
I also want to mention that my guide Luhde was one of the best things on this trip. We had very interesting conversations and she helped me to learn interesting things about the nature and culture of Bali.

Today we were picked up from our accommodation by our driver Kommang, well on time, and met our guide Agung on the way. First we had a welcome drink and snack and then we were off. A wonderful trekking tour through a beautiful jungle landscape, a canoe trip with a visit to a temple and then to the waterfall. As the road was being repaired, we were taken by bike to a beautiful, refreshing waterfall. Afterwards we had an authentic meal with the family, which was simply extremely delicious, including a tour of the farm. We learned a lot about the way of life, the religion, the thoughts and feelings of the people. Exactly what we value. Incredibly authentic and family-like. Thank you for the wonderful day.

Our driver arrived one hour before scheduled pick up and waited for us to finish our breakfast. The drive to and from the lakes takes between 1-1.5h, which our driver managed very comfortably. Our young guide Dedy led us through the half-jungle and noticed our interest in the vegetation and gave us a lot of information about the different species and how they may be used locally. The trail was easy to walk but very fun. After finishing the trail by crossing the lake where we enjoyed some snacks Dedy brought, we could have a look inside a lakeside temple. The hospitality and food at the balinese house were great for lunch. After lunch we visited a coffee plantation where we could try a variety of different coffees and teas before continuing to the waterfalls. In contrast to the majority of visitors Dedy recommended going to the smaller waterfall one in the back which we thus had completely to ourselves!
Overall we had a great time and can recommend the tour especially with Dedy.

Driver Budu and guide Oka are so nice and thoughtful. We enjoyed our honey moon so much, exploring various plants in the forest, and tasting the local snacks on the boat. This is the most unforgettable journey in our live.

Agung was a really friendly and open-minded guide he talked a lot about everything. So we learned a lot about bali and the culture. The tour was really nice and also the lunch at the end. :) north Bali was wonderfull!
For me, it was really interesting to hear, that they are not a normal company. They’re a community and decide together and also split the money. I really like this idea of working together. So I recommend to support this!

An amazing tour with beautiful people!!
We started the day being picked up by Genis in an air-conditioned car from Ubud (7am) for the 1.5hr drive north to the Wanagiri area where we met our trekking guide for the day, Agung.
We had a quick chat about the day whilst having coffee / tea and a traditional homemade rice cake.
We then headed off for our trek (approx 1hr) through the jungle, seeing beautiful sights and large Banyan trees whilst being told of traditional ways of life and Jungle facts by Agung.
We then came to the lake where we hoped straight into a twin canoe and was paddled across the lake - so peaceful!
At the other side, was a lovely temple and a moment to pause at the beautiful views and there was Genis, our driver ready to take us to our next stop.
We then headed to a twin waterfall which was stunning - so much water even in the dry season! Not too overcrowded with tourists, you could bathe in the water and there were changing areas if needed. The walk down to the waterfall has lots of steps and of course, the walk back up is quite a way, but well worth it if your legs are up to it!
The area around the waterfall, Wanagiri is beautiful. A small farming village area with a real community feel. It’s actually the area where your tour guide lives as then we stopped to Agung’s uncles’ house where he welcomed us like family and his wife & children had prepared an amazingly delicious meal!! We think the best Balinese food we’ve ever had!
Genis our driver was there ready to take us home, where we snoozed in the back after a full day of exploring!
Please do support your local family businesses in Bali and go see their way of life - you won’t be disappointed!!
