About this tour
A ten-hour private exploration of Ubud's sacred and natural landmarks. Start at Tirta Empul Temple to witness ritual purification in its holy springs, then trek through the layered emerald rice fields of Tegalalang, a UNESCO-listed wonder. The route peaks with three waterfall discoveries: Tukad Cepung nestled inside a cave where light filters through stone, Tibumana surrounded by quiet forest, and Kanto Lampo with its distinctive tiered rock formations. You'll cover significant ground with a private driver handling logistics while you soak in the landscape.

What to expect
Expect a full day of varied terrain and activity levels. The temple visit is meditative and involves wading in shallow sacred pools—bring a change of clothes. Rice terrace walking is leisurely but muddy underfoot; wear sturdy shoes. Waterfall hunting requires scrambling over rocks and stream crossings, particularly at Tukad Cepung where you'll wade waist-deep into the cave. Each waterfall has its own character: some are bustling with other visitors, others more secluded. You'll spend roughly 1.5 to 2 hours at each major stop. The driver navigates between locations whilst you rest and refuel.
Good to know
Bring quick-dry clothes, water shoes, and a waterproof bag for phones. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, though waterfall visits involve creek crossings and slippery rocks. Lunch isn't included—plan a stop in Ubud town. Entrance fees cover your selected attractions; swing fees and tips are separate.
