The experience
Toya Devasya Hot Spring sits on the edge of Lake Batur in the volcanic highlands north of Ubud, where an infinity pool fed by natural hot springs overlooks the crater lake and Mount Batur. The tour picks you up from your hotel in Seminyak or elsewhere on the coast and drives inland to this vantage point first, giving you time to soak in the warm water while taking in the panoramic views of the caldera. From there you move to Kintamani, where lunch is served with views across the volcanic landscape: the dark lava slopes and black molten rocks of Mount Batur rise above the blue-green lake, framed by lush green vegetation.
Tirta Empul Temple comes next, a complex built around a sacred spring in central Bali. The temple pond is fed by fresh water that Balinese Hindus consider holy, used for ritual purification and cleansing ceremonies. You walk through the temple grounds and see the spring-fed pools where locals and visitors perform these rituals. The nearby presidential palace, Istana Tampaksiring, sits on a hilltop overlooking the site. Then the tour moves to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, where cascading emerald-green paddies stretch across the valley slopes. The high roadside location is cool and breezy, and the view extends far enough to photograph the terraces as they seem to go on endlessly. It's part of the Cultural Landscape of Bali Province UNESCO World Heritage Site and worked by local rice farmers.
The final stop is Tegenungan Waterfall, where raging water tumbles over black stone cliffs into a quiet pool suitable for swimming and soaking. Trails lead to viewpoints above the waterfall, and you can lounge on the rocks or wade into the water. The whole day runs about nine to ten hours in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your driver, who speaks English and handles all the logistics: entrance fees, parking and petrol are included. Lunch is optional. If you choose it, an Indonesian buffet is provided, and vegetarian options are available on request.
Is this one for you?Choose the all-inclusive option if you want to eat without stopping to arrange a separate meal. The tour without lunch works if you prefer to skip the midday break or eat elsewhere. Either way, the private vehicle means your group travels alone, and the flexible timing can be adjusted to match your pace at each stop.
