“The Tour by Ryan was really nice and informative! He explained a lot about the Forest itself and about Balinese Culture too. You can tell that he has been doing these tours for a while because of how familiar he seems to be with everything and everyone in the park. The tour was about an hour long and we got to see the traditional dance because we went on a Sunday and they have a show there. All in all it was a great experience and we highly recommend going to the forest with a Guide since you get to learn even more that way! 🤍☺️”
