What our guests are saying
I have just returned from the most incredible journey of my life – a yoga retreat in Sidemen Valley Bali – led by Drishti Journeys (Reinier) and Judit Duran. The amount of information we received prior to this trip made a huge difference in allowing us to immerse ourselves in the unforgettable culture of Bali. Reinier was communicative and responsive at all times and either Putu (his wife) or Laksmi was available to us 24/7 to address any questions, concerns, needs, etc. I never felt like a tourist. We were immersed in authentic activities that most tourists never get to enjoy. Each day was a different adventure from visits to sacred temples, cooking classes, and school visits not to mention excellent treatments outdoors listening to the sounds of the frogs and cicadas and running water. Pure bliss! Drishti Journeys is not just a business – it is a personal endeavor that immediately makes you feel like family. The trip was filled with laughter and tears, introspection, an increasing degree of self awareness and an unlimited amount of fun. I began the retreat not knowing what to expect but filled with fears. I was able to embrace these fears and emerge stronger and happier. Midway through the retreat, I already wanted to put my deposit for the next one. I have made lifelong friends and am bringing my increased self awareness with me to New Jersey but part of my heart will always remain in Bali. Thank you Reinier, Putu and Laksmi for all you have added to my life!
