About this tour
A nine-to-ten-hour private loop through Bali's northern highlands, starting from your accommodation. You'll climb to Wanagiri Hidden Hill for sweeping views across the Bedugul plateau, walk behind Banyumala's tiered curtain of water, then circle back past Lakes Tamblingan and Buyan. Lunch at a local warung precedes a stop at Banjar Hot Spring, where thermal pools sit deep in jungle. Throughout, your driver navigates whilst you soak in the scenery.
Highlights
- Wanagiri vantage point overlooking Bedugul's undulating terrain
- Banyumala Waterfall's layered cascades and pool
- Twin crater lakes ringed by forested slopes
- Buddhist temple, Bali's largest
- Banjar thermal pools nestled in jungle setting
- Included lunch at family-run local eatery
What to expect
You'll start early with a pickup from your hotel and drive north into cooler hill country. The Hidden Hill lookout involves a short walk; expect crowds of other visitors and photo stops. Banyumala requires scrambling over rocks and wading into a cool pool—wear water shoes. The crater lakes are viewed from the road rather than explored on foot. After lunch, the temple visit is brief and straightforward. The hot spring finale offers public pools (warmer, busier) and private soaking pools (quieter, extra comfort). Bring a towel and change of clothes for this last stop.
Good to know
The itinerary involves moderate walking and some uneven terrain; not suitable for those with heart conditions or mobility issues. Sunscreen is essential given high-altitude exposure. The private vehicle means it's just your group, but popular sites still get crowded. Vegetarian meals are available with advance notice. Children under two travel free.
