Private Tour: Beaches of Bali

Our driver leon arrived on time and asked us what interested us for the day ahead. He took us to three very different beaches on each recommending where was best and where to eat ect. Late afternoon he took us to see the balinese dance at the temple and to see the sunset which was beautiful. Leon was an amazing guide, he was informative but also loads of fun and played some really good tunes! We all had a great day out and would highly recommend!

We give Made 10 stars for being awesome and patient with us a travelled from one beach to another. His knowledge of Kuta, Nusa Dua, Geger; Padang padang; Suluban; Uluwatu and Jimbaran ensured that we spend longer periods at the best ones. We recommend Jimbaran dinner by the ocean as a last stop.

Very good driver, good English and very helpful. The sports at the beaches were very expensive, but able to negotiate. White Sand beach of Nusa Dua is more of a resort with a private beach so if not a resident you cannot enjoy much here.

Mr. Ravy was our driver/guide for this tour and he was very good. Importantly his spoken english was better than most others whom we interacted with. First stop was the Nusa Dua beach as we decided to skip Tanjung Benoa beach where water sports options are a plenty. Ravy asked us if we want to relax or try out water sports and we chose the former. We spent about an hour at Nusa Dua beach. After that he took us to an Indian restaurant for lunch on request. Post lunch, we went to Padang Padang beach. Mr. Ravy warned us about the monkeys who pull your spectacles, sunglasses etc. At this beach also we had 1 hour to spend. Before going to Uluwatu temple, Ravy took us to Blue point beach. Visitors have 2 options at this beach, one is to take the steps down till the beach or settle in at one of the many cafes/bars with amazing views of the beach. We chose the later. Piece de resistance of the trip was the Uluwatu temple and the cliff. Sunset here was a very nice experience.

Really good tour but we felt pressure to purchase 'water sports'. I get it that this is where they make their money but truly we wanted to just have hours at the beach. However, the whole tour was really good and our guide was so nice.

This tour was amazing and my guide Elek was brilliant. He told us so much history and culture and was really easy going with what we wanted to do and see, gave us plenty of time, took us to all the prettiest places. Really enjoyed the tour and really happy that we got a wonderful guide/driver.

This beach tour left very little to the imagination. We spent more time going from beach to beach than actually enjoying the beaches. The 1st stop was the water sport beach. Which was fun if you wanted to participate in any of the activities but you due to the amount of boats, you really couldn't swim or relax on the beach. So if you have no interest in water sports than it was a waste of time. We spent a little over an hour at Nusa Dua and Pedang Pedang but the time goes quickly so again not much time to just relax and enjoy the beach. Given the short length of time spent we didn't want to waste the 100,000 to 300,000 IDR on chairs/umbrellas so we found ourselves lugging all of our things around. The last beach wasn't technically a beach because it was inaccessible. I'd def. not recommend this trip. I'd recommend that you research which beach you would like and just spend the day there. Very disappointing.

We had our day scheduled with Wayan Ari. He was brilliant! He took us to everything we wanted to see and had a great recomendation for lunch. He took his time and let us get to know more about the land,people, and culture.

this tour is good for an overview of the beaches surrounding bali. we went on to first visit nusa dua where the water sports activity was offered. since the weather was causing strong waves, we were not able to take on snorkeling or parasailing so i was forced to select another activity which is tubing which was super intense for me. this is recommended to someone who is not afraid to be tossed out of the tube raft thrown out of the air first before falling into the water. good thing the driver of the speedboat was understanding and knew that i was done for for only a few minutes because it was that intense for me. then we went to pantai pandawa which is one of the less busy beach areas. kuta beach was supposedly included but our driver suggested that we skip this because he expected it to be hectic so we decided to take his advise. we went on a coffee plantation tour where we had a taste of 12 coffee and tea flavours including the famous luwak coffee which apparently a famous delicacy. it is popularly termed as cat-poo-cchino, so go figure. then we went for lunchincluded before heading to padang padang. then later on we went to uluwatu temple where we met some naughty monkeys and then we enjoyed the kecak dancetrance chant choir with dance. Lastly, our driver took us to Jimbaran beach for a seafood dinner at own expense. our guide nyoman was so humble and protective of us during this trip. he warded off the naughty monkeys away from us. he also guarded our things whilst we go on a swim on the beach.

This tour was nice, but we were allotted too much time at Nusa Dua, when the other beaches are far more beautiful. Also, since the day ends with the uluwatu dance at sunset, we didn't get to go into the water all day, because we didn't have an opportunity to shower or change clothes.
