We arrived at the beach and were stopped by a local guy who told my brother and boyfriend that they weren’t skilled enough to ride their scooters down the path. He insisted that we couldn’t go further with our scooters and should use their "taxi service" (for a very high price), claiming there were aggressive monkeys along the way that could be a problem. We decided to ignore him and walk. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE MONKEY. NOT ONE.

The path wasn’t as bad as they made it out to be—some steep parts but overall quite manageable. It took us about 25 minutes to get down, so not bad at all. The place and the beach were absolutely beautiful, with swings for photos and two natural pools—definitely worth visiting! However, from where the scooters drop you off, there are a lot of stairs down to the actual beach.

On the way back up, my mom and I didn’t feel up to the hike, so we decided to take one of these scooter drivers. We paid 100,000 rupiah for two people, but the ride back was the scariest experience ever. My driver went incredibly fast, even when I asked him to slow down, with a cliff on one side and a rough road. My mom’s driver was even faster and overtook mine. To put it in perspective, the road is super narrow. However, the walk back up wasn’t as terrible as it seemed. The others in our group managed to walk up in about 30 minutes. So, if you can handle walking...

To get down to the beach (2 km) you can either walk or go there by scooter if you are an experienced driver. If you don't want to drive by yourself there are scooter drivers on the top who drive down and up for 100.000 per person. We decided to engage the drivers. At the entrance to the valley we had to pay an entrance fee of 10.000.  After having paid the entrance fee a self-appointed "boss" of the scooter drivers told us  that we are allowed only to stay for one hour down on the beach and if we wish to stay longer we would have to pay an extra fee for every additional hour. After a short discussion with the "boss" we insisted on staying as long as we like without paying any additional fees. After having spent 2 hours relaxing on the nice beach and enjoying the fresh water of the natural pools, we were personally picked up by a scooter driver sent by the "boss" who told us that we had to go back on top right now. Unfortunately it was the "boss" with whom I went on top. He was driving up the narrow and very bad road with incredible speed so I nearly couldn't clutch myself at the scooter. As I kindly asked him to drive more slowly, he replied that he would not drive more carefully as he hadn't eaten anything since the morning. So don't trust the scooter mafia, it's a rip-off, rather walk down and enjoy the nice scenery. But it's only for relaxing. You cannot...
