Extra Hour Fee
If your day extends beyond the agreed timeframe, there’s an additional charge of $7 per hour. While most travelers find the initial arrangements sufficient, it’s worth noting if you want a longer, more relaxed day.
Practical Details and Booking

The tour starts and ends in Bali, Indonesia, with pickup offered at your preferred location. You receive confirmation at the time of booking and can often reserve about a week in advance, making it suitable for planning ahead.
