ADI was fantastic for this multi-part adventure. He was expert at navigating the streets of Bali and explained the cultural significance of the areas that we went through. He was attentive and located us after we had finished our explorations. He made the experience seamless and we barely noticed as he paid for our entrance fees.
Several tips for future adventurers: This is a multi-part, car/van driven experience.
You're not riding the ATV through the monkey forest and seeing the waterfall all together. There are separate adventures broken up with a car/van taking you to the various locations. Wear a shirt to the Monkey Forest that, if a monkey decides to sit on your shoulder, you won't be upset if he leaves a trace of something from his bum on your shirt.. Consider a go-pro for the ATV adventure. You'll pass through interesting rice fields and as you're in single file and going at a reasonable clip, you can't stop and take cell phone pictures as much as you'd probably like to. Also wear or take socks as your feet are going into rubber boots. You're likely to get some mud on your clothes. The waterfall is accessed through the equivalent of 15 flights of stairs carved out of rock that are steeper than standard stairs. Consider flipflops to the waterfall, or shoes then flipflops near the waterfall. "Swimming" may be possible, but most people are content to wade into their knees, so shorts are fine if you aren't set on getting all the way wet. Take water, but it's probably sufficient to leave it in the car, instead of hauling it through the adventures.
