1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Snorkeling in the West Bali National Park and the Mount Batur sunrise hike.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bali is super tourist friendly and it is very easy to book very affordable day trips to anywhere in the island from most places on the spot. For instance, from Ubud, which is centrally located and has tons of tourist agencies all over town. All that to say that it is probably cheaper than booking this holiday and gives you more flexibility to discover the island at your own pace and meet travelers as opposed to be stuck with potentially unfriendly and disengaged group, as was my case.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I am not sure about reduced environmental impacts or support to conservation, but I do hope that the fees stay local for local people to benefit.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
I would strongly recommend to travel Bali on your own. It is very easy and much more rewarding!Read the operator's response here:
Hi Ela, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on Beautiful Bali. We are so glad that you enjoyed hiking Mount Batur at sunrise, what a great experience! It is
disappointing to hear that you found your group to be unfriendly and disengaged. While there are never any guarantees as to the dynamics of each of our groups, we do hope
that in selecting our specific style of trips, we are attracting a group of likeminded travellers.? We do expect that despite any differences of opinions or life experiences every
member of the group will show each other respect throughout the trip. Please rest assured that by travelling on this trip, you directly supported conservation as this trip
supports our local Foundation partner, Coral Triangle Center Foundation. Donations help expand their coral restoration project and support their educational
outreach activities for local schools in Nusa Penida. This trip also supports local people by including activities such as the cooking class and Salak Plantation walk, not only
does this provide support to locals, but is a great educational insight for our travellers. If you had any further concerns you'd like to discuss, you are welcome to contact us.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There are so many memorable events, but I would have to say the walk through Sidemen rice fields.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
I don't have any tips other than what is offered through the travel group.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, I tried to never use plastic and I picked up some trash from the beach. I bought souvenirs from local merchants.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Awesome! The people were friendly and our guide was knowledgeable and concerned about our safety and comfort. It was great to learn about the Bali culture. The hotels were clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this trip.Andrew Craig review 31 Oct 2015
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
On the descent of Gunung Batur my hand was held by the girl guide. Never though that would happen to me again.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Relax! Our tour guide was terrific but caused some cultural confusion as she was a 30 year old female Muslim from Java taking a group of mostly female (and not shy) Westerners around Bali which is mostly Hindu. I loved the misunderstandings.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Local guides were all excellent. Don't know who owns the hotels but they were also good. Got through a mountain of water bottles. If there was water for refilling bottles I never found it. Did my bit to reduce rubbish on descent of Gunung Batur. Conservation of what exactly?4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great group, great tour guide, great local guides, good food and lots of pools!Holiday Reviews
