Private Ubud Day: Tibumana, Ulu Petanu, Kanto Lampo, Tegalalang Terraces and Swing

The waterfalls around Ubud rank among Bali's most requested photo locations, but reaching them alone is tiring. This eight-hour private trip takes over the logistics. Transfers run from Ubud, Kintamani and the main resort areas of south Bali, and the group is spared the crush of a large tour bus and sets its own pace. Three waterfalls fill the first half of the day. Kanto Lampo, in the Gianyar Regency, is an easy short walk from the parking area, with water stepping over rock formations into a shallow pool. Tibumana, near the village of Apuan in Bangli, reaches the pool in one gentle drop, and the trail crosses small bridges with views of rice fields and palm trees. Ulu Petanu is a hidden fall near Ubud with a quieter feel, set in tropical jungle. After the falls comes Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a famous tiered hillside just north of Ubud that shows the subak irrigation system, followed by a jungle swing at Happy Swing Bali. Petrol, parking fees, bottled water, a driver, a guide and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. Entrance tickets for the waterfalls and the rice terrace are included when the ticket options are selected. The swing, lunch and gratuities are not covered. Up to 15 travelers can book together, infants sit on an adult's lap, and guiding is in English. The trip suits all fitness levels, but it is not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
