Ayu Prabha
I am Balinese and spending almost my entire life living in the paradise. In between, I got a chance to see a bit part of the world by moving to the Middle East for almost 2 years. During my stay in Doha, I realized every time I meet new people, they are always excited to know that I am from Bali and keep asking me suggestion what to do and where to go. I decided to turn back to this Lovely Island as basically, I have tourism background. I love to engage with people and share my experience to give them an unforgettable holiday.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Indonesia is the place that I specializeinand I am always excited to do cycling in Gili island, snorkeling in Nusa Lembongan and walking the pathway at Bukit Tjampuhan Ubud. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"When I was having my first own holiday to Gili Meno back on 2015, I started to believe that in life, traveling is essential. By traveling, you meet, learn and adapt something new whether it's within your island, country or abroad."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I remember when I was traveling for the first time to Nusa Lembongan, Bali – a smaller part of Klungkung regency which is separated from the mainland (Bali). I was amazed by the crystal clear water from all the beaches that they have. I did snorkeling and I was able to see beautiful corals, fishes, and even Manta! One of the wonderful experiences I won’t forget."

We had an amazing time in Bali. We planned the trip with Ayu from KimKim and later communicated with Thomas who seamlessly continued where Ayu left off. Our driver Agun was most helpful throughout the trip, friendly and always showing us the best. And if we had any questions during the trip Thomas was available on Whatsapp, which made the experience easier as it was our first time in Indonesia. We can't wait to go back to Bali again!

Ayu was responsive and had put together a nice itinerary. She was quick to help us upgrade at our last hotel.
Some of the places that stood out were the monkey forest and sideman, and the last resort, samabe, was stunning and good value. The local day was also very nice. The best experience we had was planned from the hotel, samabe, which was paragliding. Biggest highlight of the trip.
Though it was great to see some of the main attractions like the temples, I think we would have liked... read more

Ayu did a perfect job planning our 3 weeks Indonesia trip (Bali, Java, and Nusa Penida).
She was very responsive to our needs and requests, and her choices of drivers and guides were excellent. About half of the trip was in various parts of Bali, and we only had a driver in that part. Our driver's name was Agus, and in our view he did a very exceptional job with our trip. The only reason he was a driver and not a guide was, his English is a bit limited, but it was more than enough for us.... read more

I booked a trip to Bali for my honeymoon. We found the trip was overall very enjoyable. Ayu was very responsive before and during our trip. We began our stay in Ubud at the Kayon Jungle Resort and it was most memorable. They upgraded us to a Premium Suite as a surprise. It was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed in, and the staff were so considerate to our needs. Highly recommended if you are looking for the real Bali honeymoon experience.
We decided to go more casual for the rest of... read more

My Bali trip has been a dream. Beautiful island, warm and friendly local people, rich culture. Our local specialist Ayu had been so wonderful throughout the consultation and booking process. She advised and helped us book everything we needed/asked for to make sure we have a wonderful vacation. Our driver Krisna Arimbawa had been above and beyond our expectation. He was so friendly, resourceful, helpful and always with a big smile. Nusa Penida is so worth the trip to visit. Highly recommend... read more
