Starting the Day: Seamless Pickup and Transportation
The tour kicks off at 8:00 am, with hotel pickup in Ubud, Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Legian, or Denpasar. This door-to-door service is a big plus, saving you the hassle of finding meeting points—an especially valuable feature if you’re unfamiliar with Bali’s traffic or map. The transport is comfortable, and since it’s a private experience, you won’t be stuck with other groups, allowing for a relaxed, personalized start.
Stop 1: Snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Beach
The first highlight is the Blue Lagoon in Padangbai, east Bali, famous for its stunning turquoise waters and white sandy shores. This part of the tour offers a wonderful introduction to Bali’s vibrant marine life, with snorkeling equipment provided. The reefs are home to colorful fish, including clownfish and the elusive Nemo, and interesting creatures like moray eels and scorpionfish.
We loved the way the tour makes the snorkeling hassle-free—your guide will lead you, and the boat transfer to two snorkeling spots adds a bit of adventure. Plus, a simple seaside lunch after the snorkeling means you can refuel without leaving the beach. The proximity to Silayukti Temple, a Hindu place of prayer, adds a touch of local spirituality and culture nearby.
Most reviews highlight the beauty of the snorkeling. One traveler remarked, “El snorkel fue precioso, vimos muchos peces de colores y encontramos al pez Nemo,” which translates to “The snorkeling was beautiful, we saw many colorful fish and found Nemo.” This indicates that even beginners or casual snorkelers will find this part of the tour rewarding.
Stop 2: Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Next, the tour takes you to Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest, a lush sanctuary home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques. The mission here is conservation based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana, emphasizing harmony among humans, nature, and the divine. As you stroll through the shaded paths, you’ll encounter playful monkeys, ancient temples, and towering trees.
The entrance ticket is included, and the guide will help ensure you observe respectful interactions with the animals. Many travelers note the sanctuary’s tranquility and the chance to see monkeys in a natural setting—far from zoo-like cages. One reviewer described it as “muy lindo,” meaning “very lovely,” emphasizing its aesthetic and spiritual appeal.
Stop 3: Tegenungan Waterfall
The final stop is Tegenungan Waterfall, just 10 km from Ubud. This waterfall is around 15 meters high, flowing into a lush green valley, surrounded by thick jungle. You can opt to go down to the water for a quick swim or stay at the hilltop viewpoint to admire the view and snap photos.
The strong current during the rainy season makes swimming a bit more adventurous, so travelers should exercise caution if they plan to dip in. Many visitors love the photo opportunities and the chance to relax in nature. The waterfall’s proximity to Ubud makes it an easy, popular excursion.
