Fantastic day - We had a brilliant and fantastic day with Wayan. It was such a varied day through beautiful scenery, to the very unique skull island, for a gorgeous lunch with stunning views, and to sample some fab coffee at a great and interesting place. Wayan was v knowledgeable and was a great reliable professional and fun guide. We would def recommend this day and would like with Wayan to other places in Bali.

A must do for the dark tourist - Our trip to Trunyan was terrific. Our guide was with Widana and he was AMAZING! We had a 3 hr trip from Legian but it went so fast. Widana was very informative (and funny) and his English is very good. He told us lots of cultural information as well as interesting facts about some of the villages we saw along the way. Trunyan was a very interesting experience and not one you can do in other countries. It is quite small but exactly what we expected. Important for tourists to note you should wear modest clothing and women who are menstruating cannot enter to respect the culture. The view for lunch of the volcanoes was also breathe taking. I do this tour everytime I come to Bali and it’s well worth it for the ‘dark tourist’

A beautiful, thought provoking adventure that you will never forget! - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Bali, the one I tell all my friends about. Trunyan Village Cemetery is fascinating enough in itself, but our tour guide, Wayan, really made the trip exceptional. Wayan had such a bright personality (especially for it being so early in the morning!) and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He answered every question that we had in detail, I learned so much about Balinese culture through speaking with him. He was prompt and on time, and I felt extremely safe during the entirety of the trip. We were able to take everything at our own pace. Wayan was genuinely excited to take us to Trunyan Village and his passion for the subject was palpable. He was also a fantastic and enthusiastic photographer! This excursion was very well organized and I enjoyed my time immensely. We added on the Mount Batur jeep ride which was so much fun. (My husband and I are bigger people and we were very comfortable in the jeep, there was plenty of space.) If you’re considering this tour… do it! It is a beautiful, thought provoking adventure that you will never forget.

Balinese adventure - A wonderful exploration of so many parts of Bali. We began with the jeep sunrise tour, with lovely hotsprings afterwards, followed by a trip to skull island with a fascinating cemetery, as seen on Atlas Obscura. We also squeezed in the Penglipuran Village and a trip to the luwak coffee roasters. Widana was a kind & humourous guide who was pleasure to tour with :)

Mystery & Magic in Bali ✴️ - We booked this trip based on the already great reviews and we had a great experience. Wayan is a very friendly & knowledgeable guide and told us many stories of Balinese culture. Trunyan itself was a place of mystery & magic and Wayan took great care in ensuring we understood the customs involved in visiting. Can highly recommend 🤩

Great experience & guide - I contacted them super last minute and they arranged a tour for me and my friend immediately. Our guide, Wayan, was super funny, knowledgeable, and nice. He told us a lot of interesting facts, handled everything smoothly, and took so many photos and videos for us. This place was rly worth visiting! You can see the dead bodies and learn a lot about this fascinating culture. It's a pity we were flying off that day and couldn't experience more of Wayan & Trunyan's hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful tour 🙂

Trunyan village and hot springs - We went to the hot springs and trunyan village, and we were so lucky to have Waylon as our tour guide! Super kind and full of knowledge! He was really funny too, and took tons of pictures and videos for us to remember the trip, which is great since my friend and i are terrible about that stuff. I highly recommend him!
