Perfect - We had a great experience on our tour in Bali, including the visit to Blue Lagoon. Our guide was friendly, helpful, and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and always available to assist us. It was a well-organized and enjoyable experience, and we would definitely recommend it.

Bali October 2025 - I was in Bali for work, since I had a full day off, I had planned this trip to do immediately, on arrival.
It was a beautiful experience, almost surreal.
The night before. on WhatsApp the driver wrote me confirming the time and was very punctual.
From Jimbaran, it took us about 3.5 hours to get there (heavy traffic) but still it was nice to look at the landscapes outside. Once you get there, they give you the number (it's the sequence number for taking pictures). Everything organized very well, photographers calling with the microphone your number, we waited about 3 hours but it was worth it. The photos are all beautiful, professionals work on them.
I'm very happy I made this trip. Congratulations to the Bali tourist company that did an impeccable job.
After we went snorkelling, as soon as we arrived we were immediately given masks, fins, boat, we did not even wait 5 minutes. The weather was nice and we saw a turtle, clown fish, lots of colorful fish. Experience absolutely to do. Snorkelling is done in two different places. After they took us to eat, our driver waited for us and took us back to the hotel (another almost 3 hours by car).
We could have gone again to visit the Luwak coffee plantation but, having a work engagement in the evening, we had no more time to do so and arrived at the hotel at 18:30 (left in the morning at 05:45)
I recommend this experience to everyone, it's to be done!

Beautiful snorkelling - We had a fabulous time snorkelling in the Blue Lagoon and Lagoon Amuk bay. We were looked after very well by our 2 boat crew.
Our driver Kariasa made the trip very relaxing and informative. He was extremely helpful.
We decided not to go to the Temple as we were very tired.

Great spot! - The Lempuyang temple was beautiful with a great view of Mt Batur in the distance. The blue lagoon snorkelling was worth the trip alone as there were so many vibrant views to see in the surrounding waters. Shoutout to Dian who was a great guide for the day!

Snorkeling was amazing. We saw an abundance of fish, turtles and squid. The boat was traditional and a nice short ride. - The temple is impressive but a long drive. Be prepared to wait to take your photos, the walk up to the temple is steep. Menstruating women cannot visit the temple.

Enjoyable day - We had a great tour! The snorkeling was beautiful with lots of colorful fish to see, and it was definitely a highlight of the day. The temple was also amazing — though be prepared to wait in a long line if you want that iconic photo. (2 to 3 hours) Just a heads-up: the tour price does not include the temple entry ticket or the shuttle bus, so make sure to bring extra cash for those. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!

Magnificent! - The temple visit was the highlight of the day, with a drive full of S Bend corners to take you higher. You can only drive so far to the temple carpark, then small free minibuses drive you to the top. The ancient Temple is amazing. You can queue for the famous Instagram photo standing within the magnificent gates to the heavens.
My driver Ketood was punctual, knowledgeable and a good driver
