About this tour
A 12-hour private exploration of Bali's northern highlands, centring on Banyumala Waterfall and the Twin Lakes region. Your driver navigates you through misty valleys to cascading waters, past volcanic crater lakes, and into temple grounds and market stalls. You'll move at your own pace between each stop—waterfall swim, lakeside viewpoints, the botanical gardens, Beratan temple and the working produce market at Candi Kuning—with time to absorb rather than rush.
Highlights
- Swim at Banyumala Waterfall, twin-stream cascade in forest
- Twin Lakes (Buyan and Tamblingan) crater views from elevation
- Beratan temple complex overlooking volcanic landscape
- Botanical Garden wandering amongst highland plant collections
- Candi Kuning Traditional Market, working traders, no tour-bus crowds
- Private car and English-speaking driver all day
- Bedugul plateau countryside, cool mountain air
What to expect
You'll start early and climb into cooler country. The waterfall involves a short walk downhill through forest to reach the base; water temperature is cold. The Twin Lakes sit at altitude—expect mist and sudden weather shifts. Stops at Beratan temple and the botanical garden are self-paced; neither requires guided commentary. The traditional market is genuine and busy, best visited mid-morning before midday crowds thin it out. The driver stays with the vehicle; you move independently between sites. Return to lowlands by afternoon.
Good to know
Wear water shoes or sandals for the waterfall walk. Bring a light rain jacket—highlands are cooler and prone to showers. The market has no fixed prices; haggling is expected. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have poor cardiovascular fitness. Infants must sit on an adult's lap in the car.
