Blue Lagoon Snorkeling and Lunch - Ubud Monkey Forest - Waterfall

This trip was fantastic. The driver Aris was punctual, and super friendly and helpful. The snorkelling was a real highlight of our trip to Bali, as the water was really clear, and there were heaps of fish. We had a good length of time at both spots. The waterfall was really beautiful, and monkey forest was a big hit with the kids.

I booked this tour to do with my sister and our partners and we all had the best day! Everything ran really smoothly and we were not waiting anywhere at all. The snorkelling was the best snorkelling experience that I have ever had! We arrived at the restaurant across from the snorkelling boats and were on a boat within 10 minutes (so make sure you put your sunscreen on before you arrive!) The snorkelling was in a stunning location with lots of beautiful, bright fish that swam right up to you! When we were finished snorkelling we had a quick shower and our lunch was there ready for us. There were no towels for the showers which didn’t bother us but BYO if you’d like to be 100% dry. The money forest was very cool. The staff there were knowledgable and so friendly and attentive. The monkeys were very well behaved. The waterfall was also very impressive. There is a really nice swimming pool overlooking the waterfall so worth bringing your swimmers for this part. Gusti, our guide, was absolutely amazing! He was always there ready for us when we were finished with an activity. He offered interesting information as we drove through local areas, and kindly answered all our questions. There were also a lot of small gestures from him that really made the day - for example, it was a bit of a hike to get back from the waterfall but Gusti was waiting at the top of the steps for us with cold water. We will definitely seek Gusti out again next time we are in Bali as he was knowledgeable, friendly, and so kind. Thank you for the best day Gusti ☺️

We had Fantastic activity experience in bali! Best snorkling experience. Must recommend others to go

What a fantastic day! We started off at a reasonable time, 8am. Gave us a chance to have Breakfast before we set off from our hotel in Nusa Dua. It was a bit of a trek to get to the Blue Lagoon from here but well worth it. Our driver Kadek would tell us information about each area we passed through during the journey which made it interesting. We arrived at Padang Bai in about 2 hours as it was a weekend and terribly busy. When we arrived we sat in a nearby restaurant and ordered our lunch prior to setting off on the Snorkelling fun. The boats that you set off in are unusual looking beasts. A bit like a catamaran canoe thing going on. We'd already selected our flippers and life jackets (only a couple of us needed these but I'm not the best swimmer and you get a couple of 2 hour stints swimming). Our "team" consisted of a lovely French family who were incredibly good swimmers, a couple of Italians and the two of us. Getting into the boat was pretty easy. Getting out and into the water you have to put your big boy pants on although Putu (our guide) was right on hand to make sure you were okay. He was fantastic and guided us around following him with a life float ring. After an hour I was well and truly shattered but got to see some incredible fish and beautiful coral. Passing very close over the top of the reef. I sat out of the second hour long stint but the views were fantastic. We set off for the waterfall next. Seriously incredible waterfall. The steps are pretty steep but once you get down them the view is breathtaking. Tiring after the snorkel shenanigans but well worth it. Then we set off for the Ubud Monkey Forest. Kadek waited patiently for us outside while we witnessed such an incredible sight. The site is home to so many macaque monkeys (over a thousand!) and they call the shots here. READ THE RULES before you go in. Don't take food in. This isn't a joke. These guys will find it. A couple of incidents with girls hiding food. One monkey jumped at her and had an unopened bag of crisps that he joyfully sat eating afterwards while she stood shaking with a valuable lesson learnt. DO NOT RUN, a little boy with a father as foolish as himself ran at the monkeys. He soon regretted doing that as a small monkey scared him so much in return. Leave rucksacks in the car if you can. They will unzip your rucksack within moments, they make Oliver Twist's cohorts look like amatuers. It's a fantastic place and an Incredible experience but please respect their beautiful home. It was a very long day as we finally got back around 9 although Kadek our patient driver had another trek back to Ubud to get himself home. Proper 10/10 experience.

We left early in the morning so avoided traffic jams. Take water, snacks, towels and a change of clothes. We made good use of our underwater go pro.

The driver, Gusti did provide good service for our trip. He took photos for us, help us to take our stuffs while in the waterfall, and chatted with us just like friends. The distance between each itinerary point is very far, but Gusti remained enthusiastic, energetic and positive, which makes our trip more enjoyable and perfect.

This was a great tour! Our driver Aris was super helpful and friendly. We had great conversations and he took pictures for us. We went on three locations and he was always ready to pick us up and drop us off. On our next visit to Bali we would definitely use this service. Highly recommend!

Komang was an excellent driver and made sure we got a private boat for the snorkelling session. Komang was very accommodating and safe driver and especially tolerant of our little songbirds for the long drives thanks to Bali traffic! Car very comfortable! Company awesome and very accommodating to stop at pkaces of interest you see on the way!! Highly recommend!
