1.Munduk: Twin Lakes Jungle Hike with Lake Canoe and Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 139 reviews · 8 hours · from $44Our pick

This eight-hour North Bali outing pairs a guided jungle walk near Lake Tamblingan with a canoe crossing, lakeside temples and a swim at Banyumala Twin Waterfalls. Guides such as Dharma and Pasek explain local plants and Balinese customs. Hotel pickup is available, and a traditional lunch is an optional add-on.

“The Tour was such a beautiful and unique experience! Dharma is such a kind and funny Guide. He also has so much knowledge about the plants and trees in the jungle. After the jungle Trekking you get some selfmade cake and coffee which you can enjoy on the Kanu. You also visit two very nice temples on the way. The waterfall is stunning and it isn‘t crowded. There are many smaller waterfalls which you can also see. You can take your time on the waterfalls and the Guide takes some great pictures of you. I really recommend doing this tour, thank you Dharma for this beautiful day.”

3.Snorkel 3 Spots w/ GoPro & Mangrove Paddle Tour

Join a local guide from Toya Pakeh for boat snorkeling at Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, and Gamat Bay, with a chance to spot manta rays and GoPro footage included. Depending on the option you book, add a mangrove kayak or stand-up paddleboard outing. Rough seas can change the route, and manta sightings are not guaranteed.

“A három sznorkelező helyszín közül egyre jutottunk el, ott sem lehetett látni semmit, a hatalmas hullámok és a viharos időjárás ezt előre is jelezte, ennek ellenére elindult a program. Szörnyű volt az utazás is, a 3 métert meghaladó hullámmagasságok sokunknál rosszullétet idéztek elő. Ennek ellenére nem fújták le, csupán két órás lett ez a része a programnak. Partraszállás után a kikötőben várakoztunk 45 percet, majd egy másik hajóval átvittek bennünket Lemboganra és ott egy órát supozhattunk egy mangrove erdőben. Az erdő érdekes volt, de 15 perc után már nem mutatott semmi újat. Az idegenvezetőnk lemaradt, többször mondta is, hogy ő nagyon fáradt, nem bír haladni. Ezért a szolgáltatásért/pr...”

5.Mount Batur Sunrise Trek & Lake Batur Canoe Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 5 - 10 hours · from $28

Start before dawn with a local guide and climb Mount Batur in about 1.5 hours for sunrise and a light breakfast. Choose a package with Lake Batur canoeing, hotel transfers, and a coffee plantation visit. Guides have included Sal and Ali, with driver Pebry; team assignments may vary.

“Sal was such a great guide. Full of history and facts about the surrounding areas. Was keen to take breaks and gave a hand when needed on some of the slippery areas. At the peak he let us put our eggs inside of the volcanoe ourselves to steam for breakfast, took professional quality photos/videos free of charge, took us to the less populated places as well, and showed us how to feed the monkeys. Amazing experience to do alone or with friends”
