“This is a must ! The guide Dharma and the driver Budi were perfect. They were kind, humorous and took excellent care of me. The jungle was beautiful and Dharma can answer any questions you can think of ! The waterfalls were absolutely stunning and the perfect swimming temperature, I didn’t want to leave! The walk is very manageable and Dharma will go at your pace and keep you entertained the whole time. This is a hidden gem and I could not recommend it highly enough - definitely go to the coffee farm as well if you can 🤩”

“A három sznorkelező helyszín közül egyre jutottunk el, ott sem lehetett látni semmit, a hatalmas hullámok és a viharos időjárás ezt előre is jelezte, ennek ellenére elindult a program. Szörnyű volt az utazás is, a 3 métert meghaladó hullámmagasságok sokunknál rosszullétet idéztek elő. Ennek ellenére nem fújták le, csupán két órás lett ez a része a programnak. Partraszállás után a kikötőben várakoztunk 45 percet, majd egy másik hajóval átvittek bennünket Lemboganra és ott egy órát supozhattunk egy mangrove erdőben. Az erdő érdekes volt, de 15 perc után már nem mutatott semmi újat. Az idegenvezetőnk lemaradt, többször mondta is, hogy ő nagyon fáradt, nem bír haladni. Ezért a szolgáltatásért/pr...”

Thousand Islands day trip from Jakarta with Marina Ancol speedboat, snorkeling, lunch, and pickup, with flexible island stops like Pari and Pelangi.
“La journée s’est déroulée ainsi : taxi à 7h devant l’hôtel, ferry à 8h. Notre chauffeur a été super, il a attendu avec nous jusqu’à ce qu’on monte dans le bateau pour être sûrs de ne pas nous tromper. Après plus de 3h de trajet, on est arrivés sur l’île à 11h30, dernier arrêt du ferry. Le déjeuner étant à 12h, on en a profité pour se balader un peu. Sur l’île, on est libres de nos mouvements, seuls les participants à l’activité sont présents. Le repas est rapide mais adapté aux végétariens (riz, légumes). Peu de temps sur place : on a juste pu faire du snorkeling avant de…”

Speedboat to Nusa Penida for 3 snorkeling stops with possible manta rays, plus mangrove kayaking and GoPro footage, from $40.
“Schlechte Organisation vor Beginn und auch während der Tour. Schnorchelplätze enttäuschend. Riffe größtenteils zerstört. Guide und Touristen die lebende Korallen und Meereslebewesen für Fotos in die Hand nehmen + die Fische mit Brot anfüttern. Komplett überfüllte Gruppen und lange Wartezeiten. 6h sollte die Aktivität sein, aktive Altivität 1,75h, Schnorchelzeit lediglich 60min. Die drei Schnorchelorte lagen nah beieinander. Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot nach Nusa Hin- und zurück 1.5h. Ingesamt also nur knappe 3 Stunden. Nicht zu empfehlen!”
