What To Expect
Sangeh Monkey Forest
If you're looking to escape the dense crowds of Ubud's Sacred Monkey Forest, Sangeh Monkey Forest offers a serene and authentic alternative that feels like a hidden gem. Nestled within a sprawling 14-hectare forest of towering, centuries-old nutmeg trees, this sanctuary provides a much more peaceful atmosphere where you can observe long-tailed macaques in a natural, unhurried setting. The centerpiece of the grove is the moss-covered Bukit Sari Temple, which adds a mystical, ancient vibe perfect for photography without the photobombs. It’s the ideal spot for those who want the quintessential Balinese monkey forest experience but prefer the quiet whispers of nature over the hustle of mainstream tourism.
Leke Leke Waterfall
Leke Leke Waterfall, hidden deep within the lush jungles of Tabanan, is a breathtaking narrow cascade that feels like a scene straight out of an adventure novel. Often referred to as a "hidden falls," the journey to reach it involves a scenic trek down a well-maintained bamboo path, surrounded by vibrant tropical flora and the soothing sounds of the river. Unlike some of Bali’s more thunderous falls, Leke Leke is prized for its elegant, secluded atmosphere and the turquoise pool at its base, which offers a refreshing spot for a dip. Its dramatic vertical drop framed by mossy cliffs makes it one of the most photogenic spots on the island for those seeking a more intimate connection with nature.

5.00Very well organized tour, with amazing landscapes and an excellent guide. We loved visiting Sangeh Monkey Forest, the Leke Leke waterfall and the magnificent Jatiluwih riverside. The visit to the plantation was also very interesting, allowing you to better know the local products and taste some of them. We also liked the passage through the temple, which provided a special contact with Balinese culture and spirituality. Everything went perfectly, with comfortable transportation, good organization and plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour to those who want to see some of the most beautiful and authentic places in Bali.
It was a beautiful...

5.00Karnadi is hands down one of the best drivers in Bali! His care and concern of his customers is like none other. He literally gave me the shoes off of his feet!! He made us feel very safe and shared with us much of the Bali culture! I would highly recommend Karnadi and his brother Yos to anyone looking to have a wonderful experience in Bali!

5.00This trip was amazing. Our driver Karnadi was the perfect guide, and his car was very comfortable. Almost everywhere we went were free of other tourists, so it truly was the perfect private tour. He took us to so many beautiful places and explained the history behind them and about the Balinese culture. This was for sure the highlight of our trip in Bali, and far exceeded our expectations! Absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to see all the most beautiful places Bali has to offer outside the touristy attractions.
A local and personalised tour!

5.00We had a great day visiting the beautiful hills of Bali with our driver Yudi. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very patient with our two kids (ages 6 and 8). We greatly appreciated his flexibility as we were able to adapt the tour to the kids’ energy levels. We started with a morning visit to the Sangeh Monkey Sanctuary, which the kids loved. The friendly sanctuary staff and the photographer who walked with us through the sanctuary were fantastic in guiding the kids to safely interact with the monkeys, allowing us to get plenty of cute photos. Yudi then drove us on a scenic drive up into the hills to the lakeside Ulun Danu Beratan temple. He walked with us through the temple and shared with us information about Balinese and Hindu customs to make our experience richer. The kids then enjoyed feeding the rabbits and Guinea pigs and looking at the other animals such as a huge iguana and some sleeping luwak (civet). After some lunch and coffee, the kids were ready for a waterfall swim. Yudi drove us to the beautiful Yeh Hoo waterfall, with just a short walk (a bit steep but manageable for our kids), in a picturesque area of farms and terraced rice paddies. We were happy to be off the main tourist trail and enjoyed the scenic drive and good company of Yudi. Thank you Yudi!
