Bali's Volcanic Heart: Kintamani Lake & Batur Expedition

This was an excellent full-day tour that truly captured the essence of Bali. From the initial booking process, the staff were friendly, responsive, and very helpful, making everything smooth and well organized from the start. The itinerary was well balanced, beginning with the Barong Dance and a visit to a silver workshop, which provided a great introduction to Balinese culture and traditional craftsmanship. Kintamani was a highlight, offering stunning views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur, complemented by a pleasant lunch with a beautiful panorama. Tirta Empul offered a peaceful and meaningful experience, while Goa Gajah added a fascinating historical dimension to the day. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared clear, engaging explanations throughout the tour, which greatly enhanced the experience. The driver was also excellent, professional, and drove safely, ensuring a comfortable journey throughout the day. All entrance and additional fees were already included, which made the experience hassle free with no unexpected costs. The crowd size was also well managed, allowing us to enjoy each stop comfortably and safely. Overall, this tour was smooth, informative, and very well managed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Bali’s culture, nature, and history in one day.

Guside was a great guide and fun to be with He was lovey showed us a lot of things and was very knowledgeable. Id certainly recommend him and i would nt hesitate to go with him again

The drive up is very pleasant and makes you expectant. The volcano view from the restaurant is fantastic and offers immense photo opportunities.

<p>Visited some beautiful temples and the dance was so cool. The view of the volcano was okay.....I was expecting to be closer with a better view of it. Also lunch buffet was expensive and they do not take card as they do not have a good signal apparenlty, The tour guide driver was friendly and nice.</p>

WOW! to see the volcano and dine outdoors was amazing. We lucked out and had only the 4 of us on our tour. We saw many things, local and scenic, cultural and historical. What a wonderful day with a very well informed guide. The dance was great.....most entertaining. This tour was enhanced because we were only 4...not part of a larger group. Good for seniours.

<p>good day trip, however, since it was raining, we couldn't see the volcano as the mountains was surrounded by mist and cloud!</p>

got to see lots of different sites as there was just two of us so they took us to other places to visit such as the batik studio and the coffee plantation. Because there was only 2 of us it felt awkward not buying something from everywhere we stopped. The only downside was that we never got to choose a restaurant for lunch, it was our guides choice and for a fussy eater there was not much in the buffet i ate so it was not worth the price.

<p>Great view of the volcano, it would have been nice to get a little bit closer for a better view, but was worth it.</p>

<p>Great tour covering lots of distance, cultural highlights, scenic delights with some shopping opportunities thrown in. Downside was extra charge for hotel pickup paid in cash due to Tabanan location - ideally should be able to select this on purchase.</p>
