North Bali Tour: Temple, Lake, Waterfall & Hot Spring
Five stops in one day: from a floating temple to hot springs in the jungle
A full-day North Bali tour departing from Seminyak hotels takes you through five distinct sites: the lakeside Ulun Danu Beratan Temple with its tiered shrines, the mountain lakes Tamblingan and Buyan set against Mount Lesong, Munduk Waterfall surrounded by coffee and clove trees, the hillside Buddha Temple built in 1970, and Banjar Hot Spring with its three public pools in a tropical garden. Your English-speaking driver handles all entry tickets and provides transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, with lunch included on the all-inclusive option.

The experience
The day starts with a pickup from your Seminyak hotel and a drive north to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, where the main shrine dedicated to Vishnu rises 11 tiers above the water. The complex holds three shrines (Brahma with seven tiers, Shiva with three) set among manicured gardens with a banyan tree and a Buddhist stupa that sits incongruously within the Hindu site. From there you move to Lake Tamblingan and Lake Buyan, two mountain lakes positioned between Lovina Beach and Gitgit Waterfall, with Mount Lesong rising in the background.
Munduk Waterfall sits about 20 kilometers from the lake area, reached by a path lined with clove and coffee trees, avocado, banana and durian plantations. The village itself sits at 800 meters above sea level, where the cool air supports the agricultural terraces that give the region its character. After lunch at a local restaurant, you visit Buddha Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Bali, built in 1970 and consecrated two years later. The complex sits on a hillside with an orange-tiled roof, a bell tower, and entrance gates guarded by stone Naga figures.
The final stop is Banjar Hot Spring, set in jungle countryside about 24 kilometers from Singaraja town. The site holds three public pools and one private pool, upgraded with modern facilities over time. The morning visit is quietest, though the springs draw both local and international visitors throughout the day. Your driver then returns you to your Seminyak hotel, passing Gitgit Waterfalls and Jimbaran Beach on the way back.
Is this one for you?Book the all-inclusive option if you want lunch included and one less decision during the day. Choose the tour without lunch if you prefer to eat at your own pace or have dietary needs beyond the set menu. Either way, the private vehicle means no other travelers share your space, and the English-speaking driver handles navigation so you focus on the sites.
