“The guide was actually a driver that should not be taking women around. His views about men being primary earners was discussed for hours and he mocked women on the street. Several times he discouraged us from making planned stops so he could finish his day earlier. He did not take us to the monkey forest and instead took us to a monkey river so he could get done. I would definitely not recommend this tour.”

I had never snorkled before and I had no problems. I did get a little sea sick as I wasn't used to the water. That was no problem for them, they came over and took care of us immediately and got us up and running again. If you get Fernando and Coral as your guides, you are in for an experience you will remember for your lifetime.”

The meal at Jimbaran was right on the edge of the shore a few meters from the sea. Very idyllic. The food was plenty and a good selection of seafood nicely cooked on the BBQ. Before the Temple we stopped at a coffee plantation which was very enlightening.”
