We had a wonderful time and an unforgettable experience. Abdi was amazing, funny and also a great photographer ????, Would highly recommend him. The gates of heaven was magnificent and has the most remarkable scenic views. Definitely a day we will never forget. Big thanks to Abdi.
A fabulous and memorable day through East Bali, visiting the best tourist sites, but also local hidden gems and good eats, all thanks to our driver and tour guide: Abdi!
Abdi is professional, funny, helpful, informative, an excellent driver, and above all, a kind and genuine East Bali local.
Abdi was on time for our 7:00am pick up from Ubud. Followed by expert navigation to Kanto Lampo Waterfalls, where he showed off his excellent photography skills.
Afterwards, we had a delicious seafood breakfast at a local spot by the seaside near Goa Lawah Temple, before moving on to the beautiful Lempuyang Temple - The Gates of Heaven.
Abdi helped secure fast transport to the peak of Lempuyang and again offered the best shots of the views at the temple. Afterwards, we had a scenic tour of nearby Tirta Gangga Water Palace, again with tasteful photo direction from Abdi.
Although it was rainy day, and some views were cloudy, Abdi kept our spirits high all throughout the tour with good music, fun jokes, and yummy snacks with kopi.
We finished the day with an early dinner at the picturesque Virgin Beach, looking out across the sea towards Lombok Island.
Abdi was very informative about local history, culture and customs, giving great insight to daily life in Bali. Fierce statues became gentle guardians, befuddling traffic became a well choreographed dance.
We went into today, dreading cold feet and rain-ruined Instagram stories, but the warmth and generosity of Abdi and East Bali made us forget all our woes. Instead, we found a deeper appreciation of Balinese life and we leave with lifelong friends, experiences and memories.
Suksma, Abdi!! Terima Kasih, East Bali!
