A Deep Dive into the Tour

Starting at Cretya Ubud: A Mix of Thrills and Views

Your day begins with a pickup in Seminyak, setting off early to beat the crowds. The first stop is Cretya Ubud, a place that combines stunning scenery with opportunities for excitement. The infinity pool here offers panoramic views of the rice terraces — a highlight for many travelers. According to reviews, we loved how the guides like Guna took the time to photograph guests and tell stories about each location, elevating a simple visit into a memorable experience.

Note that under 19s may not be able to swim in the infinity pool, but they can certainly enjoy the views, food, and activities like the extreme Bali swing, zip line, or sky bike (though these are optional and incur extra costs). The pool area can get busy later in the day, so an early visit is recommended for a more tranquil experience.

The tour includes admission tickets, but activities like swinging or zipping cost extra and are paid directly to the driver. For travelers seeking a photo-op, the bird’s nest, love bridge, or shaking bridge offer quirky but picture-perfect moments. One reviewer mentioned that the cold water in the pool was a bit of a shock, but the overall experience was positive, especially with the chance to take fantastic photos.

Exploring Gunung Kawi Sebatu Water Temple

Next, you’ll visit Gunung Kawi Sebatu, a spiritual site surrounded by lush tropical foliage and known for its spring waters. It’s believed that bathing here can have a cleansing effect — a spiritual refresh for many visitors. The temple’s natural setting, with tropical trees and the sound of flowing water, makes it a peaceful stop, and admission is included.

Many reviewers highlight the serenity and beauty of this place, with one noting, “The temple is surrounded by spectacular nature, and the spring water is perfect for a spiritual cleanse.” It’s an authentic experience that offers a glimpse into Bali’s spiritual traditions, away from the bustling tourist areas.

Lunch at Oka Agro Wisata: A Taste of Bali

Refueling at Oka Agro Wisata, you’ll enjoy a set menu featuring local or international dishes, with stunning views over tropical farmland. The inclusion of free coffee and herbal tea adds a relaxing touch to your meal. The restaurant’s location on a hillside means you can enjoy a scenic backdrop while sampling Bali’s culinary offerings.

Guests have found this stop to be both satisfying and picturesque, with one reviewer praising the delicious food and the opportunity to try Bali’s renowned coffee and herbal teas.

Discovering Hidden Waterfalls: Manuaba Waterfall

A true highlight for adventure seekers is a visit to Manuaba Waterfall, one of Bali’s lesser-known gems. Unlike the popular waterfalls, this one sees fewer visitors, offering a more peaceful experience. The journey there takes you through tropical trees, bamboo forests, and rice paddies, making it a visual delight.

Expect to get a little wet as you explore this natural wonder and perhaps even take a dip in the cool waters. Reviewers note that the falls are “gorgeous” and worth the trek, especially since they are still relatively undiscovered by mass tourism.

Art & Craft in Mas Village

Finally, you’ll visit Mas Village, renowned for its wood carving, painting, and silver jewelry. This stop offers insight into Bali’s vibrant artisan culture, and many travelers enjoy browsing the shops and perhaps picking up a unique souvenir. It’s a light, cultural wrap-up to a busy day.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The tour package includes bottled water, private air-conditioned transportation, all entrance fees, and a delicious lunch. A bonus is a free drink at Cretya Ubud, which many reviewers mentioned as a refreshing treat.

Extra costs include activities like swings and zip lines, which are optional but add an adrenaline boost. Plus, solo travelers should be prepared for an extra fee of 350,000 IDR if they wish to join, and children under 19 may face restrictions at the infinity pool.

Transport & Timing

Transportation is private, ensuring comfort and flexibility. The tour starts early, around 6:00 AM, and lasts approximately 8 to 10 hours, making for a full but well-paced day. This early start helps you avoid the crowds, especially at popular spots like Cretya, as several reviews recommend.

Is This Tour Worth It?

Absolutely — for travelers looking to maximize their Bali experience without feeling overwhelmed. The mix of scenic views, cultural stops, and outdoor adventures offers excellent value, especially considering the all-inclusive pricing. The guides’ local knowledge and friendly attitude enhance each visit, making it more than just sightseeing.

However, if your main goal is to relax at the infinity pool without extra costs or crowds, you might want to visit early or consider visiting independently. Also, the extra costs for activities like swings and zip lines mean you should budget accordingly if those thrill-seeking moments appeal to you.

Who Will Love This Experience?

This tour is ideal for adventurers, culture enthusiasts, and photographers. If you enjoy a mix of natural beauty and history, and don’t mind a busy, activity-packed day, you’ll find this offers great value.
