North Bali Tour - Visiting Rice Terrace, Lake, Waterfall, Temple and Hot Spring

About this tour

This nine-to-ten-hour private tour sweeps through North Bali's highlands, connecting four distinct landscapes in a single day. You'll start at Ulun Danu Beratan, the lakeside temple that appears to float when water levels rise, then move through the plateau lakes of Tamblingan and Buyan before descending through clove and coffee plantations to Munduk Waterfall. After lunch, visit Bali's largest Buddhist temple and finish soaking in the jungle-set thermal pools at Banjar, where three public and one private spring offer warm respite.

Highlights

• Ulun Danu Beratan temple rising from lake waters
• Twin plateau lakes ringed by verdant hills
• Munduk Waterfall approached through clove and coffee groves
• Bali's biggest Buddhist temple complex
• Three public geothermal pools nestled in jungle garden

What to expect

Your driver collects you from your accommodation and handles all logistics. The route climbs gradually into cooler highlands, with stops that feel unhurried despite the packed itinerary. Walking to Munduk Waterfall involves steady descents through working agricultural land—slippery after rain. You'll eat a set Indonesian lunch partway through (vegetarian available). The day finishes with a soak in naturally heated water surrounded by tropical growth. Expect some vehicle time between sites, but each location offers distinct geography rather than repetitive scenery.
