Review of Bali’s dolphin swim, Aling Aling Waterfall hike, and coffee plantation visit, with honest advice on value, timing, and animal welfare.
“Chouette activitĂ©. MĂŞme si c’est plus de la chasse aux dauphins que de l’observation ou de la nage. Bateau typique sympa. Pour le reste, Aling Aling est très belle et moins peuplĂ©e que d’autres.

L’endroit est magnifique. Toutes les personnes que nous avons croisĂ©es sont très gentilles et serviables. Notre chauffeur Agus sympa et Ă l’écoute.”
