Ubud: Waterfalls, Rice Terraces & Jungle Swing Tour

Four Waterfalls, One Rice Terrace, and a Swing Above the Jungle

You're picked up from your hotel and driven to four separate water attractions (two waterfalls where you can swim, a sacred temple with purification pools, and a rice terrace you walk through) before finishing with a jungle swing that hangs above the valley. Entry to all sites is included, along with bottled water and an air-conditioned vehicle. The whole day takes you through Ubud's most recognizable landscapes without the logistics of getting there yourself.

The experience

So you're standing at Kanto Lampo Waterfall and the water's actually cold (like, properly cold), and you realize the photos don't show you how narrow the pathways are getting there, or how the waterfall's tiered, stacked like nature built it in layers. Your guide points out the shallow pools below where you can actually swim without worrying you'll go under. The whole thing feels smaller than you expected but quieter too, which is the whole point. After that, it's a short drive to Tibumana, where the jungle gets thicker and the waterfall drops into a pool that's almost still, surrounded by so much green it's like being inside a photograph.

Then comes Tirta Empul Temple, and this is where the day shifts. It's a 10th-century Hindu water temple with spring water that locals believe purifies you, spiritually and physically. You can wade into the pools yourself if you want, or just walk the stone paths between the shrines and watch the light hit the carvings. Your guide explains the ritual purification without making it feel like a performance. It's just what happens here. The air's different inside the temple grounds, cooler and quieter, and you spend longer than you planned just standing there.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace comes next, and yeah, it's the famous one. The panoramic view you've seen in a hundred travel blogs. But walking the narrow paths between the paddies, you understand why. The terraces cascade down the hillside in these perfect geometric waves, and the green shifts depending on the light and the season. You can spend an hour here just moving slowly, taking photos that won't capture it, or you can sit on one of the paths and watch the farmers work. The scale of it hits you differently when you're inside it rather than looking at it from above.

The jungle swing at the end is pure adrenaline. You're suspended over a hundred meters above the valley, swinging out over the treetops and rice fields. It's the kind of thing that feels reckless until you're actually doing it, and then it's just exhilarating. The whole day is structured so you're not rushed between stops. The driver handles the route, the guide handles the timing, and you just show up at your hotel in the morning and get picked up when it's done. No arranging transport between five different places, no figuring out which waterfall is which, no wondering if the temple's open.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 9 years). Under 3: they can't be included in the booking.

How long is the full tour?

The itinerary covers five main stops across Ubud, typically running a full day. Exact duration depends on traffic and how long you spend at each site, but plan for 8–10 hours from pickup to return.

Can you swim at both waterfalls?

Yes. Kanto Lampo has tiered pools where you can swim in the fresh mountain water, and Tibumana has a shallow pool at the base of the waterfall. Bring a change of clothes or swimwear.

Do you need to be fit for the jungle swing?

The swing is designed for general visitors. You're secured and suspended from a platform. It's thrilling but not physically demanding. The waterfall sites involve short hikes with steps and narrow pathways, manageable for most fitness levels.

Is the temple visit religious or cultural?

Tirta Empul is a functioning Hindu temple dating to the 10th century. You can observe purification rituals and wade into the spring water pools if you wish, or simply walk the grounds and see the architecture and stone carvings. It's both a spiritual site and a historical landmark.

What should you bring?

Swimwear and a change of clothes for the waterfalls; sunscreen; a camera; comfortable walking shoes for the rice terrace paths; and a light jacket or cover-up for the temple (shoulders and knees should be covered out of respect).

How many people are in a typical group?

The listing describes this as a private guided tour, meaning it's arranged for your group. Confirm group size limits with the operator when booking.
