This was a great tour that combined amazing sights with quiet relaxing moments. Our driver Berata, who gave a 5 star service was very informative, knew the areas well and took everything at a steady pace to suit us. We started our day at the picturesque rice terraces and moved on to a lovely tranquil water temple where we had the chance to cool off with the temples natural spring water which came off of the mountain. As this is a holy place they supply sarongs for the visitors and you are allowed to take photos. We then moved on to Mount Batur itself. We had a buffet lunch at the top of the crater and although it was raining it clears as quick as the clouds arrive. When they do there is a stunning view over the crater and lake. Lunch was followed by a trip into the crater where we arrived at the hot spring. The thermal waters are absolutely soothing to those aching muscles and limbs. A relaxing break from everyday life. The pools look out over the lake and you have plenty of time to enjoy it. There are changing rooms with lockers, showers and towels. Our final destination was the waterfall at Tegenungan. Another beautiful location but a word of warning there are 160 deep steps down to the waterfall. Okay going down but you need to take your time coming up especially in the heat. That apart it is a beautiful waterfall. This brought our day to a close and time to sit back and relax during the ride back to your hotel. It was a long, tiring but amazing day that showed the REAL BALI. (Water was supplied throughout the day). HBD Bali Drivers. Berata
