I went canyoning for the first time about 8 years ago in Switzerland and swore that if I ever had the chance again I would do it. When I found out I could go in Bali I was beyond excited. I can't say enough great things about the Adventure and Spirit crew. They were top notch from start to finish. Super easy to communicate with over whatsapp and had answers for all my questions. They pick you up from anywhere on the island and transport you to the base camp. The crew that take you out are unbelievable. Angga and Doser were unbelievably professional and made us feel incredibly safe the entire time. Please take note that I took my girlfriend who was VERY skeptical of the entire thing until she took her first couple steps on the rappel and she was hooked. These guys took care of us and walked us through every step of the way. They made us feel safe no matter the situation. We both absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get off the beaten path. You will get a chance to see waterfalls and sights that very few people get to see.

I highly recommend Wayan! It was our first trip to Bali, and we had the best time! We organised a tour to East Bali through Facebook and we were lucky enough to have Wayan pick us up and be our driver. We will use him every trip now! We then booked 3 other tours with him which were all amazing and he definitely made our holiday a memorable one! He was very patient with us, speaks good English and took lots of photos for us and with us! :) We also felt very safe in his car, and he was a good driver! We also used him to take us to the airport on our last night which was sad to be leaving. :( We look forward to returning to Bali as we loved it and can’t wait to see Wayan again for more tours! :)

A great experience! We booked the tour at 10 p.m., which was 10 hours before the pickup time and Dewa still kindly replied to the inquiries. Ketut was also an excellent driver and guide, offering helpful information and taking great pictures for us. The trip to Lempuyang temple took 3 hours from Ubud because of traffic, but we only waited about an hour and a half to take the picture at the “Heaven’s Gate.” Tirta Gangga and Tenganan were also beautiful and definitely worth visiting. We look forward to contacting Okay Bali Tour again. Thanks so much!
