Highlight of the tour was actually Temesi Waterfall, such a hidden gem, there was almost no one there - great for pictures and for cooling down at the end of the tour! Thanks to our driver Dema for taking us around, reliable and good driver.”

4.Eastern Bali and Pura Besakih Temple Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · 10 hours · from $42

Travel by private air-conditioned car from your Bali hotel with an English or Indonesian-speaking guide. Visit Penglipuran, its Bamboo Forest, Pura Besakih, Rendang, and Tukad Cepung Waterfall. Guides such as Dena, Kadek, Desy, and Jordi have received praise for friendly service and useful local insight.

“Recomendada completamente si quieres ver otra cara de Bali. Las visitas a los mercados artesanales merecen mucho la pena, puedes ver cómo es todo el proceso artesanal, está muy bien, nos sorprendió gratamente. Además durante la excursión puedes ver cómo son realmente los pueblos locales, sus costumbres, en los que no hay tanto turismo. El templo es un imprescindible ya que es diferente al resto. Además, si te toca un día despejado, las vistas son espectaculares. La cascada también muy bonita, aunque recomiendo llevar unas chanclas que sujeten el pie ya que para llegar a ella hay zonas en las que hay que atravesar el río. Está todo bien señalizado.…”
