The real Bali,shown by the peoplewho live here.

Meet your host

We work small, on purpose.

Hi, I'm Ayu. I was born and raised here in Bali — to me this island isn't a destination, it's home. I started Tirta Bali because I kept watching friends get booked onto rushed, copy-paste tours that never showed them the Bali I actually love.

So we stay small. Every guide on our team — Wayan, Made and Komang — grew up here. We reach the famous places early, before the crowds, then take you to the rivers, warungs and back-roads we'd take our own friends. And we're one message away the whole way through.
