Overview:
The Best Qualified Guides
Our guides are local celebrities, everyone knows them because they're the best. They're qualified, certified, and they're English is great.
Our boat guide is the best in Kintamani. It's his boat, his equipment and he has lived on the lake his entire life.
Traditional Boats
Our tour guide has his boat decked out with our safety levels in mind. Everyone has a vest. He'll insist you wear the vest for your own safety and so he doesn't get a fine.
Sustainable Cities & Communities
United Nations Global Goal number 11. We give $15 from every Terunyan Wall Tour to the Terunyan people in the form of a ‘donation’. We also give $5 from every tourist to the Kintamani region. This goes towards local infrastructure including roads, education for farmers on the correct use of the land and more sustainable farming techniques.
Private Tours
If you book the tour for just you, or you have five more people that are part of your crew, no strangers will be on your tour. We don’t jam others in on the tour to make up the numbers. You’ve booked the tour; the tour is all yours. 1 – 6 people max. We have a hand sanitisers dispenser mounted in the back as well. More importantly, you get to experience this tour with just your intimate group.
If booking through an Online Tour Company such as Trip Advisor, AirBnB or Klook, we cant guarantee your tour will be a private tour. These companies are classed as "One Group" Book directly with us if your tour must be a private tour.
Our Transfer Drivers
Our drivers, are great mates, have passable English, and are nice to our guests. Best of all ‘they wait’. They pick you up from your hotel on time, you do your selected tour, and they wait. They don’t sneak off and do other jobs whilst you’re on your tour with your personal belongings in their vehicle. A bad transfer driver will be sneaking off doing other jobs, and your things could go missing. This will ruin your holiday. (Imagine if you lost your passport, your watch, your anything) Our drivers are 100% tried and tested trustworthy drivers. We pay our drivers to stay for the entire day, whether your tour is one hour, or 10 hours; they wait.

Bonus Reasons
2 x Bonus Reasons to book with Expedition Bali Tours
SPOILER ALERT - Once you know everything.......
1. All of our tours have a small unique gift. For example, on this tour we created a drinking coffee mug memento for you to keep and take with you back to your home country. On one side of the mug it has the Expedition Bali logo, and on the other side it has a dancing skeleton and it says “I’ve seen dead people in Bali” It’s a free gift with every tour. Take this mug to work with you when you get back home. It will be a constant reminder to you of the time you had with us, and, your work colleagues will be intrigued at the dancing skeleton, and ask, “What is that about?” and every time they do, you’ll relive your Bali experience.
2. The other bonuses we do on this tour what no other tour operators does, we take care of the donation required from every tourist to the Terunyan area. Other tour operators don’t tell you about this "Donation" fee until you arrive, (It keeps their initial booking fee down) and then you’re fishing around in your pockets looking for money. Rp25,000 per tourist is about the going rate. Not much, however, when you’re not expecting it and you have a family of six, your wallet is back at the car, it can be awkward. We pay Rp150,000 if there is one or six of you, it doesn't matter to us. What's important is that you don't have to look for extra money, and we are contributing to the Terunyan village. It's the bonus of not having that awkward "Ummm, get me out of here" feeling, your guaranteed to get on other tours.

Testimonials / References / Endorsements
"For our 2nd day, we arranged to go on the “Terunyan Wall Tour”. I didn’t know what to expect, or what exactly we would see, but it turned out to be very unique, educational, and culturally enlightening! The Terunyan Wall and active cemetery is a very sacred site in the Kintamani region and we feel fortunate to have gotten to see it. After the Terunyan cemetery, we ended the 2nd day by visiting the lava fields and exploring a few lava tubes (caves)! This was unexpected, but our guide was kind enough to extend our tour and let us explore a little longer because of how much we liked seeing the lava fields!" - Colin & Kerry Meyer - USA

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do we know if your guides are really qualified?
A: All of our volcano tour guides are qualified Mount Batur Trekking Association Guides. We have copies of our guide certifications on record to send anyone at any time.
Q: Can you arrange a pickup from our hotel?
A: Yes. We have bunch of great mates that all belong to one team. Their English is passable, they must all have currently registered vehicles and current drivers licences for our insurance to be effective. We keep copies on record of each driver, with expiry dates noted in our calendar with a 14 day reminder set up on each.
Q: Does Expedition Bali Tours have insurance?
A: Great question. We used to have accident insurance for our guests, however we've found Indonesian accident insurance to be less than adequate. Please ensure you have your own travel insurance before booking our tours.
Q: How do I know if I will like the tour?
A: That’s easy, check our Google / Trip Advisor reviews. We also won the Luxury Tour Guide Global Award for service in 2021 / 2022 above every other tour operator in every category in Indonesia.
Q: I can’t swim, is the boat safe?
A: The boat is a traditional boat used on the waters of Mount Batur for more years than anyone can seem to recall. Modified to be tourist boats they all have life jackets as standard. Our boat driver will insist you wear your safety / flotation vest for your safety, so he doesn't get a fine. Our boat driver has lived his entire life on the lake. He is all over this, he loves it.
Q: Do I have to be super fit?
A: No, just a bit of walking around.
Q: Can I book on this particular date, a bit later?
A: All of Expedition Bali Tours are private tours. We run one tour a day of each tour. Best you pick the date and time you want now, and lock that in to avoid disappointment. It's easy to see if the dates are already booked, if you see a yellow dot on or close to your date, the tour is booked. Sorry.
Q: There are 10 of us, can we all go?
A: We take a maximum of six adults per transfer vehicle, and we have access to two boats. We can organise an extra transfer vehicle and an extra boat, but that's it. 12 people maximum per tour.
Q: How long has Expedition Bali Tours been around for?
A: We’re the oldest established tour operator in Kintamani. We started in 2012.
