Snorkel Bali’s Blue Lagoon and Amuk Bay, then visit Kanto Lampo Waterfall with lunch. Calm reefs, clear water, and photo stops from $21.
“This activity was very good and fun for my friend and I! The beaches were clear and beautiful to swim/snorkel in. However we didn’t swim in the Blue Lagoon beach for long as our guide said there was too many jellyfish but that wasn’t their fault. Our driver was amazing and very good to talk to. He helped us in any way he could and even recommended a different waterfall that was very beautiful as the Kanto Lampo waterfall would’ve been too busy. His name is Surya Telagantara and I heavily recommend him!”
Private Blue Lagoon snorkeling plus Kanto Lampo and Tibumana waterfalls with lunch and hotel pickup near Ubud, Bali. Great value for families.
“Although the places we visited were nice, I qualify this as a bad experience. First of all, the driver Adi, had borrowed a car with double tinted windows, so it was difficult to look out or take pictures, In the end we just drove with open windows. Second, from the moment we took off he drove as if he was in the Indy 500. Several times we asked for him to slow down so we could see things and take pics. He also admitted himself he spoke hardly no English and when we used our translate app to ask what a certain site or building was, he would answer:" Oh…”
