Sekumpul and Banyumala Waterfalls Hiking Tour with Ulundanu Bratan Temple

Our guide for the day was very prompt collecting us from our hotel. We visited the community owned rice field, the tea farm and had breakfast overlooking the mountains. We then visited the waterfalls. It was a fabulous day with a tested formula of sites to visit. The only improvement would be if the company was able to supply wet weather gear ie raincoats/umbrellas as it was very wet while we were at the waterfalls. Our driver/guide knew the areas well and was able to explain things clearly and was very helpful throughout the day.

Amazing experience. The hike there is easy enough, getting back however isn't that easy. I did take a few breaks. The waterfall itself though is beyond stunning and is worth the hike.

Great tour if you want to get a close up of Bali's hinterland. We had an excellent guide called Newman who offered every courtesy and was so familiar with the island he was able to adjust to avoid traffic hold ups etc. We didn't go down to the river at Sekumpul but got some good pics of the beautiful waterfalls from a viewing point about half way down. We were glad we didn't go all the way down because there was a thunder storm with heavy rain. Strangely, it was quite refreshing to get soaked on the steep climb back. You can get a motorcycle lift back to the top for 20000 rupees less than 2 USD . The breakfast break was wonderful. We had a good meal overlooking the volcano caldera which was vast and awesome. The rice fields are also worth visiting for their sheer beauty. All in all a great day except for the hour long storm which is not unusual in the mountain climate.

This tour was simply amazing. Our driver, Arta, was very pleasant. It's an early start of the day but ithe is totally worth it. Viewing the rice terraces and temple while we are the only one there. Breakfast couldn't be beat. The view of the volcano was breath taking.

The tour was really good! My guide, Gede, was extremely helpful and knowledgable. He tailored the trip to suit my taste and made sure I spent a decent amount of time at each location. I'd recommend this trip to those travelling solo, couples and groups. Thanks for the awesome day!

This was very cool! The waterfall was spectacular, and as with most Bali tours, there are the obligatory stops at Mt Batur, the Rice Terraces and a temple or two. If you've done other tours, be prepared to repeat the sights. A moderately challenging descent down and back up, but it is pathway, with rails and steps.... Lots and lots of steps. Take advantage of views and the waterfall, you can paddle in the plunge pool and it's lush and green and welcoming.

Brilliant day out, Kadek Tosa was so great and knowledgeable about almost everything! We arent the most fit people in the world so we had to take the steps slow but Kadek was so patient. All in all totally worth every penny!

From my perspective that's the best package you can choose amongst all if you are visiting Ubud. Most packages offered in Ubud, offer places you can visit yourself, such as Ubud market and monkey forest etc., you don't need a guide for that or a taxi. But to see places around the island, which require some time to drive between them, you really need someone to drive you around who knows these places, and Putu with his driver really delivered that. They were extremely friendly and helpful, knew places and people we were visiting, so you could feel you are being taken cared of really well. That's really the package you would want to chose if you wanted to see the island from the right cultural perspective. Some info for the places to keep in mind: Coffee plantation. Keep in mind most expensive coffee of Luwak costs 1'100'000 IDR per 250g, so plan your budget for the day accordingly, if you are planning to buy that coffee, and also there are other coffee types and teas, and yes, they are all worth it. Sekumpul Waterfalls - very beautiful place. Consists of 2 walking phases: 15/20 mins downhill to first view point on the waterfalls and possible extra 10 mins downhill to the waterfall themselves, which are really worth a swim. You may think during the first phase that it's difficult to walk downhill, and may not want to go even lower to the waterfalls themselves, but do not worry, you will not need to go all the way up: from view point boys with scooters will drive you up to the parking, that's included with the price. So make sure you go down all the way and swim in the waterfalls, you will remember that. All other places mentioned in the package, don't worry about anything, just visit them and take pictures. Especially view of the volcano in the terrace restaurant. Best breakfast view I've had in my life! Hope I was helpful. I really recommend this package if you have at least one full day free in Ubud for these type of things.

Our driver Made was fabulous. He was on time and answered our many questions throughout the day. We saw quite a bit of Bali in this tour and every stop was explained and well worth the trip. The waterfalls were stunning and again our English speaking guide was very patient and full of knowledge. Mount Batur is beautiful and the rice paddies picturesque. Thank you for the experience.

Worth spend time walking down Friendly guides Beautiful nature
