I highly recommend this trip, especially with Roger and Tom! This is a perfect idea if you want to visit the most beautiful places on the island in one day. The trip was led by Roger and Tom, who are very positive and nice, caring people. We had a wonderful time and fun with them. Tom took a lot of photos and videos of us that are truly amazing! He did some magic and we have incredible effects with photos and videos! 😍 We also got beautiful polaroids from Roger! You can see that put a lot of effort to make sure everything works out great and they are passionate about their job!🧡

We had the most amazing day! We saw so many dolphins and the swimming with them was so beautiful. After that we went to a lovely reef snorkelling. The guide was super nice and gave us as much time as we wanted. The driver was also so nice and patient and even gave us a small lunch with delicious fruits.Then we went to the waterfalls and it was so much fun, you can jump in the water from different heights and even go on a water slide. The guide took many videos of us and we felt really safe and comfortable. 10 out of 10, it was one of the most fun trips we had in Bali!

Excellent activity! In addition to being a great guide, Budi is an excellent and extremely kind photographer. He was able to be patient with us, showing us the most beautiful spots before the crowds arrived. He really made our day magical and I thank him! Do not hesitate to book this activity, we must support guides like Budi who survive and deserve to be rewarded. Hoping he will see our comment. Nyouma and So ❤️
