We really changed pace in Bali heading northwest and doing a combined birdwatching and safari tour with the famous Idriss, starting early enough to see the sunrise. We saw 40+ birds and animals and really enjoyed mindfully looking for birds first with our naked eye and then through binoculars, as we slowly walked through their relatively open habitat backed by a handsome mountain peak in the distance. Booking was easy via Whatsapp +62 823 4018 5768. We took water and snacks but Idriss supplied some too, and lunch was tasty. Would love to do an on-water tour next time.

We visited West Bali National Park during the CNY holidays in Feb'24. While we stayed in The Menjangan, we spent most of our time birding outside of The Menjangan. The birding packages in the resort is very limited and confines only within the resort boundaries. We recruited the services of Idris, and we were not disappointed. He knows the place in and out and took us to the right birding spots. We had 3 sessions of birding roughly 4 hours each session and every time it was a different place and a change of habitat for spotting some birds which we had mentioned we wanted to see. We spotted Bali Myna, Javan Myna, Malkohas, Trillers, Woodpeckers, Scarlet flowerpeckers, Sunbirds, Nightjars, Bulbuls, Munias etc. Idris made sure we spent sufficient time out in the field and infact also helped arrange these sessions in the budget we had in mind. Weather was a bit of bummer at times, but overall good sessions. Do reach out to Idris (+62 823-4018-5768), apart from birding he also organizes other activities like snorkeling etc.

Went with Idris and did the trekking and birdwatching in the savannah forest, sunrise boating, snorkeling, and safari trip. It was a great experience, Idris was very helpful and was great at guiding us for the birding! Idris was also able to give us references for drivers to take us to and from Seminyak, which was very helpful as well. The sunrise boating and the snorkelling was phenomenal, despite the trash caused by the rainy season. Would highly recommend it although you need to get lucky with weather! We were unlucky with the safari trip and went during a religious festival - many of the locals did a pilgrimage to the temple in the park and the animals were not present. If you're doing a safari, check to make sure it's not a religious holiday!

Very beautiful part of Bali, we had the most wonderful time. We did a brilliant trek in the national park, our guide Idris was very knowledgeable of the wildlife and we loved our tour with him. Then took a boat over to Menjangan Island for snorkelling a saw so many fish and turtle! Great day and would recommend getting in touch with Idris if you want a great adventure.

Idris was the best tour guide and made our trip to this national park amazing!! We saw over 40 species of birds and even the Bali Starling! He is one of a kind tour guide who knows the birds, trees, and wildlife so well. We also snorkeled and saw big fish and sea turtles. The whole tour with bird watching, lunch, snorkel, and boat ride, admission to park was 3.400.00 rupiahs. Activities: bird watching and snorkeling Highly recommend Idris!!!

We went on a day trip with Idris. It was amazing, we really enjoyed! Idris came to our hotel the day before to discuss all details. On the day of the trip we were picked up at the hotel at 6.30am (Pemuteran). We were driven to the park, then we went a bit further by boot. We did a bird watching trekking and saw different kinds of birds, but also deers and black monkeys. Idris also explained about different trees used for herbal medicine. After the trekking (about 6km, 3 hours) we took the boat to Menjangan island for snorkeling. First place for snorkeling was amazing, lots of fish and corals. Then we had lunch on the island (Idris prepared this for us). Then another snorkeling where we also saw a turtle. After this we took the boat back, where we could shower and then we were brought back to our hotel. We were back around 1-1.30pm. The tour is not cheap (around 100 euros per pax), but it's a private tour and everything was taken care of (transportation, lunch, snorkel gear etc). Idris is very kind and also made photos of us. Would recommend!

We found Idriss in a West Bali guide and we sure are glad we did. He comes HIGHLY recommended. He was extremely competent, friendly, and reliable. His knowledge surrounding West Bali National Park, its plants, and its animals made our tour extremely valuable. He is a real special guy. I highly recommend doing a tour with Idriss, whose WhatsApp number is: +6282340185768.

We found Idris through our Bali travel guide book. There are a couple of pictures here with his business cards, so I don’t have to repeat those information, only that it was definitely an amazing experience and we recommended for anybody who wants to: 1) see the sunrise on the open sea, 2) have an amazing guided tour through the national park and 3) close with easy and colorful coral snorkeling. It’s been a perfect couple of hours and Idris is a very experienced tour guide. He arranged the pick up from our place and of course drop off as well :-) Thank you very much. I’m happy that we did not miss this day in our life!

A fantastic option for solo travellers. I went on a guided tour from the back of a scooter with park guide, Wayan, who was very knowledgeable. He picked me up from my accommodation in Pemuteran. Park entry was 200k IDR and 500k IDR for 4 1/2 hours with Wayan (including pick up and drop off). I recommend going early. We saw most animals before 9:30 am. The roads were good and all the park staff were really friendly. A fabulous experience.
