About this tour
Spend ten hours exploring Bali's eastern reaches with a private driver and air-conditioned vehicle. You'll visit four distinct sites—two royal water palaces, a centuries-old bat temple, and a jungle waterfall—each with distinct appeal. The tour includes all entrance fees, lunch, and bottled water, letting you focus on the scenery rather than logistics. Best for those wanting a curated look at East Bali's landscape without the tour-group atmosphere.
Highlights
- Ujung Water Palace: tiered pools and colonial pavilions
- Goa Lawah Temple: sacred cave sanctuary packed with bats
- Tirta Gangga Water Palace: koi ponds and manicured grounds
- Gembleng Waterfall: cascade through dense jungle vegetation
- Private transport throughout the day
- Indonesian lunch included
- English-speaking driver as guide
What to expect
Your driver picks you up early and handles all driving while you watch the landscape shift from lowland towns toward hillier terrain. Each palace offers 30–45 minutes to wander manicured gardens, photograph stone carvings, and admire water features. Goa Lawah is cooler and darker—bring a torch or use your phone—and the bat presence is immediate and atmospheric. Gembleng Waterfall requires a short walk downhill through vegetation; the pool at its base is swimmable. Lunch, served midday at a local warung, is simple but filling. By late afternoon you'll be heading back to your accommodation.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes for the waterfall walk. Temples require respectful dress (sarongs usually provided). Bring a swimsuit if you want to paddle in waterfall pools. The route involves some winding roads; take motion-sickness medication if prone. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with serious back or heart conditions.
