Traveler reviews
The experience
Pickup happens at 8:30 am from your Seminyak-area hotel, then a scenic drive climbs into Bedugul's mountains toward Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. The temple sits on a plateau overlooking Lake Beratan, surrounded by water on three sides: the operator calls it "the source temple of Lake Beratan." You walk the grounds and take in the view before heading deeper into the highlands.
From there, you enter a lush rainforest for a walk to Banyumala Waterfall. The waterfall often appears as a twin cascade, but after rain it splits into multiple streams. A naturally formed pool sits directly beneath the falls, clear enough to see the bottom, and most visitors swim here. You bring your own towel and extra cloth if you plan to get in the water.
The day ends at Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for preserving traditional Balinese farming methods. The terraces roll across the landscape with Mount Batukaru rising in the distance. The operator describes it as "the most interesting scenery nature" offers on the island. You return to your hotel by late afternoon.
Is this one for you?Book this as a private tour if you're traveling with family or a small group and want to move at your own pace without waiting for other travelers. The driver stays with you all day, so you control how long to spend at each stop: longer at the waterfall if you want to swim, or a quick pass through the temple if the crowds build.
