The Highlights of the Tour in Detail

The Bali Swing Experience: High above the Canopy
The Bali Swing is undeniably one of the most Instagrammable spots in Bali, and for good reason. Located in Bongkasa Pertiwi, it offers an adrenaline-pumping opportunity to swing high above the treetops with the jungle and rice fields sprawling beneath you. Expect to be secured in sturdy harnesses, flying over the lush landscape, while capturing photos that will make your friends jealous.
What sets the Bali Swing apart? According to a recent review, “the original and best is in Ubud, but the Bali Swing we experienced was just as breathtaking.” The swings here include options like the tandem swing, single swings, and the bird and chicken nests, which are fun and unique photo props. The experience lasts about 3 hours, giving plenty of time for photos, adrenaline, and maybe a few laughs at your own daring.
Kintamani Highland: Volcano Views and Lake Batur
Next, the trip heads to the Kintamani Highland, a favorite for its jaw-dropping views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur. This active volcano’s crater is about 13 km across, and from the vantage point, you can see the steaming crater and shimmering lake below. It’s a spot that makes you realize how small you are compared to nature’s grandeur.
Most visitors find the view worth the stop, with one reviewer noting, “You’ll love the views of the lake and the volcano—absolutely stunning.” There’s also the chance to explore the surrounding area, including hot springs and local villages, adding a relaxing warm-up after the morning’s adventures. Expect around an hour here, with plenty of photo opportunities and a chance to breathe in the mountain air.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace: Bali’s Iconic Landscape
One of Bali’s most famous sights, the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, offers vibrant green fields carved into the hillside. Historically, the terraces were passed down by Rsi Markandeya in the eighth century, and today, they remain a symbol of Bali’s agricultural roots. From the high roadside viewpoint, you’ll get sweeping vistas of the stepped paddies, perfect for snapping photos or simply admiring Bali’s traditional farming landscape.
Visitors often comment on the cool, breezy atmosphere here—an ideal break from the sun—and the opportunity to buy local crafts from nearby stalls. Expect about an hour here, enough to take in the scenery and soak up the peaceful vibe.
Tegenungan Waterfall: Nature’s Power and Photo Opportunity
Your last stop is the Tegenungan Waterfall, a popular spot where you can get close to the cascading water. Surrounded by lush greenery and rocky cliff walls, it’s a perfect picture spot and a chance to feel the mist and hear the roar of the water. The waterfall reaches up to 20 meters, which makes for dramatic photos and a refreshing break from the morning’s activities.
Local stalls nearby serve snacks and drinks, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery. This stop also takes around an hour, ensuring you leave with not only great photos but also memories of Bali’s natural beauty.
