About this tour
A private eight-hour circuit through Bali's quieter corners: trek to two cascade-fed swimming holes (Tukad Cepung and Tibumana), explore the thousand-year-old Goa Gajah temple with guide commentary, and spend time among the long-tailed macaques at Sangeh Monkey Forest. Your driver navigates the routes while you move between locations at your own pace, with a lunch break built in. Entrance fees covered; hotel collection and return included.

- Direct interaction with wild macaques in their forest sanctuary
- No group tourists—just your party and a local guide
- Private air-conditioned transport throughout the day
What to expect
You'll start early with pickup from your hotel, then drive to the first waterfall where a moderate trek takes you through the stream itself—prepare to get wet. The water is cool and the swimming spot is lined with rock; most people spend 45 minutes here. The second waterfall follows a similar pattern but with a different landscape. Mid-morning or early afternoon, you'll visit Goa Gajah, a 10th-century temple carved into bedrock; your guide walks you through its layout and mythology. The day ends at Sangeh, where macaques roam freely among banyan trees. They're bold but accustomed to visitors; keep bags zipped and hands clear of food.
Good to know
Wear river-friendly shorts and bring a change of clothes plus towel. Moderate fitness required for waterfall access—not suitable if pregnant or with spinal/heart conditions. Pack sunscreen, hat, water bottle, swimsuit, and cash for lunch (not included). Exact timing depends on traffic and your hotel location.
