Bali Tour - Highlights
We would have liked to see more but it took us time to get to the northern part of Bali. I had to ask questions, rather than get a good understanding of Bali, except at the temple. Our tour guide was very nice but didn’t give good overview.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate your honest comments. We’re glad to hear you found the guide friendly, but we’re sorry that the explanations and overall experience did not fully meet your expectations.
We will take this seriously and improve our guides’ communication and storytelling to ensure guests receive a better understanding of Bali throughout the tour, not only at certain stops.
Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Very disappointing experience
Our English speaking driver hardly spoke any English. He had to pass his phone to me to translate from English. I was told by a fellow traveller that the Twin Lakes view point was in thick fog, but the driver read the translation and ignored it, saying “be ok”. 90 minute car ride later and we turned back, without getting out in thick fog. Although he did open the doors for us to get out. Another 90 minutes back and we’d had enough and just wanted to get back. It was a complete let down. We saw a lot of other private car hire drivers, they all seemed to speak English and talked about the sights we did see, with their passengers. Disappointing.
Operator response
Dear janessteve
We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had during your tour. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We truly regret that the driver’s English communication was not as expected and that the situation at the Twin Lakes viewpoint caused unnecessary travel without the experience you hoped for.
Your feedback is very important to us, and we will address this with our team to improve communication and ensure better service in the future. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience next time. 🙏

Cruise Tour from Benoa Port
Great experience touring Benoa with Bon Bon. The communication before our arrival was excellent, setting our minds at rest as to our pick-up time and where we could expect him to be. He had a excellent knowledge of the area and a good understanding of what we wanted to see. Bon Bon was polite, friendly and extremely attentive, concerned for our safety when negotiating steep climbs and slippery surfaces. He is a credit to the Company he works for.
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience touring Benoa with Bon Bon. It’s fantastic to know his communication, knowledge, and attentive care helped you feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re proud to have him on our team.

Our driver Daren was really good and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to a Coffee Plantation and lunch at De koffie Wanagiri was amazing. Authentic Bali lunch at a brilliant location. Whilst the weather was rubbish I would still recommend this tour without hesitation.

A great day out from Celukan Bawang
The is a great trip to take for cruise passengers from Celukan Bawang. We were picked up at the port by Erik our guide and driver. Erik turned out to be an excellent guide and a very safe driver - needed on some of the steep windy roads up to the twin lakes view almost in the clouds! We visited the temples on the lake which were stunning. Also a coffee plantation where we tried luwak coffee and also the new Buddhist temple. Erik knew all the best places to take photos so we will have some lovely lasting memories. It was a great day at a good pace and I thoroughly recommend the tour and, of course, Erik.

Celukan Bawang Port excursion
The Saka Bali Putu Tour company appeared to be the major provider in the area with many of their cars doing the same itinerary. Our guide and driver was Deta, a 20 year old young man who was extremely attentive to our needs. He explained a lot of the culture and aspects of Bali. First stop was the twin lakes which was close to his village. As a result he knew a lot of people that we met. A major site not to be missed is the Ulun Danu Beratan Floating Temple. It has a very large garden layout on the edge of a lake. The other highlight is the Banyumala Twin Waterfall although there are many steep steps to get down to the bottom and some steps are very high. We also visited a market where we were able to try a wide range of tropical fruits. Over all highly recommended.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re truly happy to hear that you had a great experience with Saka Bali Putu Tour and that Deta took good care of you throughout the day. He will be very proud to know that his knowledge about Balinese culture and his attentiveness made your trip more memorable.
North Bali is indeed very special, and we’re glad you enjoyed the Twin Lakes, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Banyumala Twin Waterfall, and the local fruit market experience. Your recommendation means a lot to us and to future travelers.
We hope to welcome you back to Bali again someday for another adventure.
