About this tour
A full-day loop through Bali's volcanic highlands combining hot springs, temple bathing, and waterfall exploration. You'll soak in geothermal pools beneath Mount Batur's slopes, wade through the spring-fed channels at Tirta Empul temple, and detour to Tegenungan's cascade on the return to Ubud. Hotel pickups included, with optional buffet lunch overlooking the crater lake. Expect early starts and multiple water-based stops.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll leave your hotel before dawn or mid-morning depending on preference. The hot spring stop involves basic but functional changing facilities and lockers; water temperature varies depending on proximity to the geothermal source. Tirta Empul requires modest dress or sarongs (rentals available) and involves wading through ankle-to-chest-deep channels. Tegenungan waterfall is a short walk downhill through forest; the pool is deep enough for swimming. Lunch, if chosen, is buffet-style overlooking the caldera. The full circuit covers 60–90 minutes of driving and several hours of activity, with moderate walking on uneven terrain.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, a waterproof phone case, and secure footwear for slippery surfaces. The early-morning option avoids crowds at hot springs and temples but requires early pickup. Not suitable if you have heart or respiratory conditions. Infant seats available on request. Alcohol and commercial photography restrictions apply at temples.
