Special West Nusa Penida Day Trip with Snorkeling

Great tours provided

We found the Lokabali leaflet amongst others at the airport and opted for 2 of their trips during our stay. First, from Ubud, we did a full day tour (ref: LBT20) of some of the North of Bali, including Taman Ayun (royal family temple), coffee plantation (to find out about the famous Luwak coffee!), Ulun Danu temple (on lake Beratan in the mountains), Jatiluwih (UNESCO World heritage site of rice fields AMAZING) and ending at Tanah Lot temple for sunset (ruined by heavy rain but you can't control nature!). With lunch and dinner included and Leo driving us, we had a great day and all for $55/person. We then moved to Sanur and did a 2nd full day tour (ref:LBT09 $50/person) in the South of the island which included Snorkerling, a glass bottom boat trip to Turtle island (a bit of a disappointment) followed by a quick lunch before heading off to Nusa Dua. This is where we saw the blow hole on the cliffs and visited one of the nicest beaches we have seen during our holiday. Following this, we headed to Uluwatu temple (AMAZING but beware the monkeys!) before ending for dinner at Jimbaran beach to watch the sunset. Gusti was our driver/guide for the day and we echo all the previous reviews in that his careful driving, extensive knowledge, helpful and useful information, friendliness and general care for us throughout the day made this a memorable trip. Thanks Gusti. We only did the 2 tours and there are many more on offer, but I would not hesitate in recommending Lokabali (and especially Gusti) as your tour organiser whilst on Bali.

Amazing :)

I met Gusti during a transfer to my hotel from the airport via a third party arrangement. He was such a great driver, great English and pleasant to converse with. I contact him again for a transfer back to the airport and he arrived on time and it was all smooth. I totally recommend him for any tours and transfers here in Bali.

Awesome tour guide!

We had to make a last minute change to our trip and Gusti and his team made it possible for us to enjoy our time in Bali - albeit a short one. They helped to plan according to our needs and timing, and we enjoyed every moment of it. Even the impromptu car-rocking session throughout our trip.

Perfect guide for your trip in Bali!

Gusti has been the perfect guide during our last trip in Indonesia. Such a nice and very polite guy, always prepared to help you living your holiday in the best way as possible. We really looking forward to meet him again soon, highly recommended!!! Ciao Gusti!

Experience Bali with the best guide :-)

We reached out to Loka Bali Tours through a TripAdvisor brochure we picked up at the airport upon arrival in Bali. We got an immediate response from Gusti who took us to some of the most precious gems in Bali - ALWAYS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE!!! Gusti is an amazing driver/guide who tells his customers all of the wonderful stories that make Bali so rich in culture, he is so friendly and we were very happy with the service we received!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIANCE GUSTI ;-) YOU ARE SUPER!!! Francois & Elske Ellis (Superman)

Gusti was one of the highlights of Bali

We found Lokabali Tour in one of the airport pamphlets when we arrived. As we looked through the many options, we decided on a tour from Lokabali. We were so impressed with Gusti, our driver, that we decided to use him throughout the rest of the week. Gusti was very kind and soft spoken. He was very respectful and patient with us, as we tried to see and do everything during our week in paradise, but he also kept us moving along so that we were able to keep a good schedule. I would recommend Gusti, as a driver, for anyone who is visiting Bali. He knows traffic patterns, and can literally get you out of a jam. He was one of the highlights of our trip.

Bali tour

Excellent service and great knowledge from the driver. Nothing was too much trouble. Kept in touch after booking so pick up was convenient and prompt . Highly recommend

Our guides in Bali

Arriving in Bali, we took the first available brochure with tours and did not regret it. The prices are good - on average, a little higher ($ 3-6) than the options that were found on the Internet later, but much lower than those offered by the tour operator (2 times). With Lokabali and driver Gusti visited rafting, Ubud, volcano, waterfalls, Taman-Ayun, Tanah Lot, Ulu Watu, rice terraces. It was unusual for us that we went on excursions alone, not in a group. I really liked that almost everywhere there was enough time - there was no need to run, rush. Gusti is a great driver. It was calm with him both in heavy traffic and on a mountain serpentine. We asked him all the way about different statues, plants and facts. He kindly answered, told legends and customs. Despite my not very good English, we found a common language. The brochure does not indicate what you need to take with you for each of the tours, it is better to always check this by phone when ordering a tour. Perhaps, if you want to know more information, but do not speak English well, then it would be convenient to go to "cultural" programs (temples, sacred places) with a Russian-speaking guide who would tell "how ships plow ..."))) And so Gusti in front of each place gave brief information about what it was, when it was built. In those places where he accompanied us, he always offered to take a joint photo with my husband. We are glad that we used the services of Lokabali. We wish them good luck, keep the brand in this service!
