BALI SWING TOUR

  We were collected from our villa in Seminyak at 1:30am, we drove to have a breakfast of coffee and banana pancakes to get some energy for the trek. We then... read more carried on to the trail at the bottom of Mount Batur to start the trek. I didn't bring a jacket because the weather was quite warm and I assumed that I would warm up more with the exercise of trekking up hill. While this was true and I was hot for the most part, it's probably good to at least bring a jumper or jacket for the top of the mountain if you plan to stay there for a while to take photos. You can rent a jacket at the start of the trek but it's better to bring your own if you want to save money. I also recommend that you wear hiking boots or at least trainers with good grip because the trail can be quite tricky in parts. Also I only noticed one toilet on the way back down that you had to pay to use so I recommend that you use the toilet before starting the trek. Our guides were friendly and helpful.

We are so glad we chose the right company to take us up the mountain too! The manager of Bagus Bali was very prompt and responsive to our queries and booking. As we were based in Ubud, our pick up time was 2:15am in the morning. The driver was exactly on time to pick us up! Upon entering the car I noted that the driver’s seat was down and he said he had actually arrived earlier at 1ish am in the morning because he didn’t want to be late for our pick up! I was immediately impressed with his professionalism. He took us to his company’s HQ for an early morning breakfast of coffee and banana pancakes which was delicious. And when we were done, he took us to the base of the mountain to meet our guide Jata Yuna. We feel incredibly blessed to have met such a caring and wonderful guide. He was patient and thoughtful throughout the trek. Making sure that we were comfortable with the pace and checking with us to see if we would like to stop for rests. But what I loved most was that he knew all the best spots on the mountain. Where to navigate once we got up... This trek was the highlight of our 8 day Bali trip.

But what I loved most was that he knew all the best spots on the mountain. Where to navigate once we got up so we were away from the maddening crowd and had a bit more privacy and peace to observe the sunrise. It’s also a plus that he has a good eye for photography and helped me and my husband take some beautiful panoramic shots of us and the sunrise!

We felt well taken care of by Jata throughout the entire trek and I can see that our safety is of his utmost concern. When we thanked him profusely at the end of such a wonderful morning, he told us humbly that his job was just to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves that morning!

We had such a great time that we would like to return again once our two kids are old enough to navigate the trek! We were glad we went with Bagus Bali for this experience. They were responsive, responsible and professional. We appreciated their services greatly. More

  A very good experience, a very good tour guide and by far one of the best hiking trips I’ve been to in a while. Will most certainly come back again... read more in due time.
