About this tour
Pack three of Ubud's most recognisable landscapes into a single morning. You'll start at Tegallalang's emerald rice terraces—a UNESCO site that stretches across hillsides—then move to Gunung Kawi Sebatu, a water temple set beside natural springs where locals perform purification rites. Finish at Ulu Petanu waterfall, where jungle streams drop into a cool pool. The five to six-hour loop includes pickups and dropoffs within Ubud, plus entry fees.
Highlights
- Tegallalang rice paddies at sunrise, before crowds gather
- Gunung Kawi Sebatu temple with working spring-fed pools
- Ulu Petanu waterfall—swim in the plunge pool
- Early timing catches best light and fewest visitors
- Hotel transfers included for Ubud and Gianyar stays
- Balinese plantation visit if you select that add-on
What to expect
You'll be collected from your lodging around 8 am and driven to Tegallalang first, where you walk amongst the tiered fields and take photos from various vantage points. By 10 am you're at the water temple, where you can observe—and optionally join—the ritual bathing in cold, mineral-rich spring water (bring cash for a small temple donation if you participate). The final hour is spent at the waterfall, where a short trek through jungle brings you to a natural cascade. You can wade and swim, though the water is cold. Meals aren't included; food is available at each site. Return to town by early afternoon.
Good to know
Not suitable if pregnant, menstruating, or with spinal/heart conditions. Wear sturdy shoes for uneven temple and waterfall paths. Bring cash for food, temple donations, and any extras. Morning timing is deliberate—afternoon heat and tourist crowds build quickly. Mineral water provided.
