The weather was against us as it was very rainy and foggy/cloudy in the mountains. Our driver/guide, Hendri Gunawan, was very congenial as well as flexible. He was able to make changes in our itinerary based on the weather and our interests. The rain was so heavy that we couldn’t really tour the first temple we went to as the canoes weren’t going out due to the weather. The Pura Ulun Danu Beratan temple and its gardens were a definite highlight. The Banyumala waterfall was spectacular and well worth a visit. We also very much enjoyed our Balinese lunch at De Kaffie. We highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to have Hendri as your guide.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad to hear that despite the rainy weather, you still had a great experience. Hendri will be very happy to know his flexibility and friendly service made your day enjoyable. Pura Ulun Danu Beratan and Banyumala Waterfall are truly special places. We hope to welcome you again on your next Bali adventure!
We selected the waterfall and beaches tour which also stopped at the twin lakes and an exotic fruit stall. There was basically nothing wrong with the taxi or the young driver (Hita) or stops en route. The waterfalls were particularly good (lots of steps) and scenic but the problem was the absolute lack of communication. We had a guide who could not speak English so we weren't able to find out anything about this area of Bali or ask any questions. We didn't know how long we had at the beach so we assumed it was ok to eat and walk around. Also as the lake view couldn't be seen (poor weather) so it would have been nice to have suggested an alternative stop but no communication made this excursion difficult. The excursion was much shorter than advertised with lots of driving and no info on what we were seeing.
Dear traveler Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had during the tour. We are very sorry that the communication with the guide was limited and that you were unable to receive explanations or ask questions about the places you visited. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. We also apologize that the weather affected the view at the Twin Lakes and that no alternative stop was suggested. Your feedback about the tour duration and communication is very important to us, and we will use it to improve our service and guide preparation in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we truly hope we can provide you with a much better experience on your next visit to Bali. Kind regards, Nita Saka Bali Putu Tour
Our guide communicated with us via what's up. He had a delay out of his control, a tree was down for pick up. He walked the waterfall with us and the water temple and took some of the best photos of our trip. I had even mentioned I wanted him to go on the rest of our cruise with us to take pictures for us! We did cut out some things from our experience, because we had been out all day the day before. Our guide was very flexible and aimed to please. The lunch spot was delicious!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear you had a great experience. Sometimes unexpected situations like a fallen tree can cause delays, and we truly appreciate your understanding. It’s great that our guide could still make your day enjoyable and capture beautiful photos. We hope to welcome you again in Bali! 😊 Kind regards Saka bali putu tour

Lovely driver, very friendly and helpful. Tour different to what we booked but weather did not help.
Thank you for your kind words about our driver—we’re glad to hear he was friendly and helpful. We apologize that the tour differed from the original plan; the weather required some adjustments for safety and comfort. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you still had a memorable day with us.
We were very fortunate to have Adi as our private driver and tour guide. Arrived at the cruise terminal facing a day with torrential rain. Adi was able to plan the hours we had available to see such beautiful sites, inspite of the rain. Magical Ulun Danu Beratan floating temple. Famous Luwak Coffee. Authentic Balinese home cooked food. Dense rice fields. Even monkeys along the road. Thanks Adi for making our day unforgettable!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Adi could turn a rainy day into an unforgettable experience and show you the beauty of Bali. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to share them with Adi. We hope to welcome you back again soon
Our guide Budi was fantastic but he was up against terrible weather conditions to get around our selected destinations . In the end after a wonderful trip to the Buddhist Monastery be elected to return to the ship.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad to hear Budi took great care of you despite the challenging weather. It’s wonderful that you still enjoyed the visit to the Buddhist Monastery. Your safety and comfort always come first, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you again in better weather!
ARDITA was a fabulous and informative guide with a great sense of humour. Celukan Bwang was beautiful and we enjoyed the hot springs.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear Ardita made your day enjoyable with his knowledge and great sense of humour. Celukan Bawang is indeed beautiful, and we’re glad you had a relaxing time at the hot springs. We hope to welcome you again for another wonderful experience!
After a rough start with the tour guide arriving late, then his car wouldn’t start and he wanted us to wait until a friend would come to fix it, but instead we asked for a new driver. He obliged and set us up with an independent taxi driver, Astika who took us around the island. As the weather was very rainy we couldn’t see many of the itinerary spots, but he tried to give us a memorable experience anyway. There is a lot of driving involved and we spent many hours in the car and only stopped at a coffee plantation, the Brahma Buddhist temple and another temple, all of which were lovely. As the weather began to improve, our driver offered to stop at a lunch spot or at the hot springs, but after our late start in the morning, we were ready to head back to the ship. I do recommend Astika as a driver as he drove safely, had a reliable car, and shared much about his culture and life and in northern Bali. Unfortunately, he didn’t accompany us into the temples so we didn’t glean any additional information on our stops. Nor did we have a way to contact him, so when we finished our tours, we had to just hope we could find him. This was only really problematic at the Hindu temple, but getting his coordinates ahead of time would have been very smart on our part. This review does not reflect what Saka Bali Putu Tours is able to provide, as that wasn’t possible, but that alone may speak volumes! I am actually grateful that the original driver’s car broke down in the parking lot. Reliable vehicles are mandatory for the travel distance and I would truly hate to be stuck hours away from the port with unreliable transportation. Thank you to Astika for filling in so admirably, for being so kind and for sharing his life so willingly.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the rough start and truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We’re grateful Astika was able to step in and provide a safe and meaningful experience despite the weather and time constraints. Your comments are very valuable, and we will use them to improve our service and coordination. Thank you again for traveling with us.
