“The trip was very good. Drivers at both ends - hotel to Sanur and back, and on Nusa Penida - were very good. The fast boat ride was also good. The “included” lunch is a scam, though. Poor quality and quantity, we had a fly in the iced tea and the chicken curry had more water than our bottled water.”
