Important Advice
You Can Be Easily Cheated & Put on Sub Standard Tours
Bali has no ‘consumer protection’ and unscrupulous agents can tell you whatever they like to put you on substandard tours, with no recourse to themselves. They can use false, misleading & deceptive tactics. Many operators can also tell lies, exaggerate or even show ‘doctored’ photos or brochures to fool tourists onto their products. You have no department to make a complaint to who will be able to help you to get a refund or satisfaction. This means you must be extremely careful when choosing a tour if you want to avoid disappointment or loss of your money.
Beware of Dirty Tricks & False Claims
To persuade you, unscrupulous people will falsely assure you that the places they recommend are: better, cheaper or the same quality. Closer or easier to get to. Our company is closed for renovations or our road access is blocked. Taking you to the original Elephant Park or Rafting Company, when actually they are not. Our tours are too busy. The elephants have moved to another company. Elephants are mistreated. The elephants were kidnapped from Sumatra. The owner is involved in stealing body parts. Our company is controlled by Mafia!
These are only a few of the lies and incredible stories that are told to fool and influence tourists into going to where they make more commission and profit from you.

Mason Adventures, also known as Bali Adventure Tours was the first White Water Rafting operation in Bali, developed in 1989 and is the ONLY 5-STAR RAFTING OPERATION on the island with infrastructure, equipment and safety that is to World Standards.
