Fantastic Island-Hopping Adventure with Aldo & Ketut!
Exploring the islands around Bali and discovering the underwater treasures of the Indian Ocean was an incredible experience. Aldo and Ketut are exceptional guides and entertainers who go above and beyond to ensure your safety, especially during water activities. Thank you, Aldo and Ketut, for taking such great care of us throughout the trip. Go “Lady Manta” (our boat)!
The snorkeling spots were excellent, and we were thrilled to see mantas and turtles. However, be prepared for crowded conditions, particularly at the manta spot.
Lunch was served at a beautiful restaurant and club perched on a cliff. The food was satisfactory, with western options like pasta bolognese and fried chicken. While the restaurant offers other food and drink choices, they come at an additional cost. The surrounding area is gorgeous, featuring a traditional Balinese door perfect for Instagrammable photos, an infinity swimming pool, and stunning views. One downside was the number of stray dogs trying to get food from guests.
The inland tour felt a bit short, as it mainly involved navigating the island’s narrow, winding roads to visit the stunning Kelingking Beach cliff. This location is a major tourist attraction, which unfortunately means dealing with the negative aspects of tourism, such as shops, noise, and litter. Please be a responsible tourist and help preserve the natural beauty.
Overall, it was a fantastic day. We departed at 9 AM and returned to Sanur at 6 PM. We snorkeled twice, enjoyed lunch, visited the cliff, snorkeled again, and then headed back home. Highly recommended!
