About this tour
This eight-hour loop through central Bali connects three distinct stops: a jungle waterfall, a traditional mountain settlement, and a water temple complex. You'll travel by private air-conditioned vehicle with a guide, moving between Ubud's natural attractions and the quieter villages inland. The itinerary suits most fitness levels and includes entrance fees, water, and transport from your hotel.
Highlights
- Waterfall hike through Ubud's lush forest canopy
- Penglipuran village: stilted houses and palm-lined lanes
- Tirta Empul temple's sacred spring-water pools
- Private vehicle and English-speaking guide included
- Optional jungle swing add-on available
- Morning or afternoon departure options
What to expect
Your guide collects you early, then drives into Ubud's rice paddies toward the waterfall. The walk down is muddy and steep—about 30 minutes with a rope guide; the pool below is cool and refreshing. Next, Penglipuran village appears suddenly: narrow lanes between traditional Balinese houses with family temples and open-air living spaces. It's genuinely quiet, especially if you arrive mid-morning. The final stop is Tirta Empul, where you'll change into a sarong, wade into ritual pools, and watch locals pray. The temple is beautiful but crowded by midday.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for the waterfall. Sarongs are provided at the temple but modest dress helps. Total time includes two hours of driving; mid-journey lunch isn't always included—confirm with your operator. Not wheelchair-accessible.
