About this tour
A 10-hour private tour combining Ubud's best swimming and cultural stops. Start at Cretya Day Club, where infinity pools overlook rice terraces, then visit Tirta Empul temple to observe local water purification ceremonies and temple architecture. Finish at Kanto Lampo Waterfall, where water cascades across layered rock formations rather than falling straight down. Transport, entrance fees and guide included; bring your own lunch.
Highlights
- Swim in Cretya pools with panoramic rice paddy views
- Witness water blessing rituals at Tirta Empul temple
- Learn traditional Balinese cleansing practices from locals
- Explore temple design and spiritual significance
- Photograph Kanto Lampo's tiered rock waterfall formation
- Ride the Bali Swing through jungle canopy
What to expect
Your guide picks you up for a full day hitting Ubud's main draws. Morning at Cretya means proper swimming time in clear pools—bring a towel and change of clothes. Tirta Empul comes next: you'll watch Balinese people actually perform water rituals here, not staged versions. The temple explains how locals use the spring for spiritual cleansing, and your guide walks you through the architecture. Late afternoon heads to Kanto Lampo, a working waterfall where water sheets over stacked rocks. The swing stop (included) is quick but scenic. Expect heat, humidity, and crowds at popular spots, especially midday.
Good to know
Pack swimwear, sunscreen and a waterproof bag. Bring lunch or eat before/after—no meals included. Wear modest clothing to the temple (shoulders and knees covered). The tour suits all fitness levels but involves walking on uneven terrain at the waterfall. Start early to beat afternoon heat.
