See it all with D
What a full big day. D was so accommodating and full of information. We hit all of the highlights plus a jewelry store, batik factory and wood carving operation at our request. His restaurant choice for lunch was delicious. We had a big day and made it back to the cruise ship with 1hour to spare. Ps: traffic is terrible in Bali and he worked the timing perfectly. If I could give it a ten I would.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback about your private Bali day tour with Dedek.

We are glad you enjoyed the restaurant choice and that the timing worked perfectly to get you back to the cruise ship with plenty of time to spare, despite Bali’s busy traffic. Your kind words and “ten out of ten” rating mean a lot to us and to D. We look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable journey in Bali. Warm regards, Gusti East Bali Tour Team

A Memorable Two Days in Bali
Our friendly driver Dedek had suggestions of places we should see, but was amenable to taking us places we read about prior to the tour. He drove us around in a comfortable, air conditioned car. We asked to go to temples and to see the rice terraces. Dedek answered all our questions, and suggested a restaurant for lunch that we all enjoyed. Dedek also suggested an evening dance performance and stayed to drive us back to our ship. We met tourists who had paid a lot more money for their tour and didn't get the Bali experience we had. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked Dedeck for the following day.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback about your two days in Bali with Dedek. We’re delighted to hear that his flexibility, local knowledge, and caring service made your experience so memorable. It’s great that you were able to enjoy temples, rice terraces, authentic dining, and even an evening dance performance, all while feeling comfortable in his care. We truly appreciate your kind words and the fact that you booked him again the following day. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable adventures in Bali! Warm regards, East Bali Tour Team

North Bali highlights
The pick up and return to the cruise port is flexible in line with your ship's time in port. You can choose your own individual itinerary to suit your preferences. Our driver Yudi was extremely helpful in planning our trip to ensure we maximised our time to see our chosen sights, rice fields, wannagiri twin lake Lookout, Brahmavihara Temple. He suggested a coffee plantation in the Munduk area which where we enjoyed some coffee/tea tasting. We also visited Banjar Hot Springs. Yudi was very patient with us. His driving in mountainous terrain was very safe and he provided commentary about the area and answered all our questions. He also took some awesome photos as keepsakes of our extremely enjoyable day. Would definitely recommend Yudi and Munduk tours for a North Bali / Cruise Port tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience on your North Bali tour with Yudi. We’re delighted to hear that his flexibility, safe driving, and helpful insights made your day enjoyable. It’s great that you were able to explore rice fields, the Wanagiri Twin Lake Lookout, Brahmavihara Temple, Banjar Hot Springs, and even enjoy coffee tasting in Munduk. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Yudi. We look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable journey in Bali! Warm regards, East Bali Tour Team

Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seminyak can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seminyak within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Best of Bali 3-Day Packaged Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seminyak?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seminyak?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour?
+
Included: Private air-conditioned vehicle & English-speaking driver; Direct cruise port pickup & drop-off; Port parking, tolls, fuel, and bottled water; and Guaranteed on-time return to your cruise ship. Not included: Attraction entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Seminyak. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Benoa Port Shore Excursion: Private Bali Day Tour if the weather is bad?
+
