Visiting Gitgit Waterfall with Jerlyn

Image
Gitgit waterfall is located in north Bali. Gitgit is the name of the village, since the waterfall is located in this village, that's why it is called Gitgit waterfall. I guess. There are more than one waterfall in Gitgit. Maybe there are three. I chose the oldest one, because the path to the waterfall is quite well maintained. For those who loves adventures, you may chose the other waterfalls. The path to the waterfal is about 350 meters long. And before you say it is not that far, remember the path is not flat, but it is up and down with stairs here and there. So, for those who don't visit gym regularly, it is quite a struggle.   This is Jerlyn, from Singapore. She said that Niagara waterfall is much bigger than Gitgit waterfal. Well, I am speechless. Never been to Niagara waterfall.   The photo of sign board that says Welcome to Gitgit Waterfall. If you don't see any waterfall in this photo, it's because it's not there.  You need to start

He would take my clients, Shafinaz, Afif, Syafiq, Diana, and Nadia (ops, maybe I dont remember their names now) on a boat ride into the sea. As we arrived there, many people queued for toilet. There was only one public toilet just behind a restaurant located near the beach. Cost was 2000 rupiah to go to toilet. As the clock struck six o'clock they were ready to sail. I have done the dolphin sighting in the past. So, I did not do it this time. About 2 hours later, they came back. "Did you see any dolphins?" I asked. "yes, we did. We saw a

It's been a long time since I have last written any post in this blog. The touring business had not been very good with me. Too many competition on the internet.  And I have been busy venturing other things. So,  here is a post about my clients from Malaysia. I took them to popular places around Bali. We went to Kintamani, to see the beautiful view of mount Batur, tasting the luwal coffee, watching the kecak dance and going on water sports. For water sports, they did the parasailing, the underwater walking, and riding jet skis. Here are some photos.
