Three waterfalls in one long, swim-and-swing kind of day. I really like how this tour strings together Tegenungan, Tibumana, and Tukad Cepung without you having to plan the route or bounce between buses. I also like the built-in chance to add the Ubud Jungle Swing for a high-energy break from the falls. One thing to weigh: it’s a full day (around 8 hours), and lunch plus the swing fee are not included.

The day runs with private transport and pickup from several popular beach areas, so it feels efficient rather than chaotic. I’ve found the best value in tours like this comes from two things: included entrances (so you don’t keep stopping to pay) and a local guide who keeps the timing and route sensible.

Key points worth knowing before you go

• Three waterfall stops with guided walks: you get the highlights without “wander and hope” navigation.
• Pickup from Sanur, Kuta, Canggu, Legian, Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua: helps a lot if you’re not staying in Ubud.
• Entrance fees are included: you mainly budget for lunch and extras.
• Tegenungan can be a swim stop: it’s described as fun for swimming.
• Ubud Jungle Swing costs extra (IDR 350,000 per person): plan that if you want the big thrill.

Three Waterfalls in One Day: how the route really feels

This is a straightforward “see the best of the Ubud-area waterfalls” day. You’ll be picked up from your hotel area, then taken to Ubud for the three main stops, with guided walking at each waterfall. The tour duration is about 8 hours, so think “active day,” not slow sightseeing.

Because the stops are clustered, you’re not losing half your day to transit. Still, you’ll be in a vehicle between each location—normal for Bali—so it helps to come ready for a ride, water, and a bit of walking on uneven ground.

Also, this is a private tour for your group. That matters more than it sounds: you’re not stuck behind a slow group, and your guide can shape the day around what you want to do at the waterfalls.

Stop 1: Tegenungan Waterfall (and the swim-friendly vibe)

Your first stop is Tegenungan Waterfall, located near the Petanu River (mentioned with Tegenungan Village and the Kemenuh area). This one is described as fun to visit and specifically noted as a good place for swimming.

What I like about starting here is that it’s the most “action-ready” of the three. If you want that classic Bali moment—standing at the edge, feeling the mist, and potentially getting in the water—Tegenungan is where you can scratch that itch.

You’ll have about 1 hour at this stop, and the admission ticket is included. Do yourself a favor and wear shoes you can walk in comfortably, because wet rocks and slick paths can turn a quick walk into an extra-care mission.

A practical tip: if swimming is part of your plan, bring a small towel and something for wet clothes. The tour includes bottled water, but it won’t include a full changing setup.

Stop 2: Tibumana Waterfall for a quieter, local feel

Next up is Tibumana Waterfall. This stop is described as a “hidden paradise” and is said to be mostly visited by locals, not the crowds you’d expect at the biggest, most famous waterfalls.

It’s also noted as being up the river from the more touristic Reng Reng area. That simple contrast is the point: you get the feeling of a calmer spot, where the waterfall is still the star, not the entry-line experience.

You’ll get another 1 hour here, and again the admission ticket is included. Since Tibumana is described as quiet, I’d come ready to slow down a little—give yourself time for photos, then just hang by the falls and enjoy the sound and cooler air.

One consideration: if you’re the type who wants big crowds and constant energy, Tibumana may feel more “peaceful hike and waterfall break” than “festival of photos.” For many people, that’s exactly the charm.

Stop 3: Tukad Cepung Waterfall’s rare viewing style

Your third stop is Tukad Cepung Waterfall, located about 30 kilometers northwest of Ubud. This one is called out for a rare view—something that’s unique enough that it’s described as a waterfall you should not miss.

I like ending the day with this because it changes the mood. Tegenungan offers the swim-friendly, “let’s play in the water” feeling. Tibumana is quiet and scenic. Tukad Cepung is framed as the unusual one—the stop that tends to make people say, okay, that’s different.

You’ll also get about 1 hour here, with admission included. Since it’s described as having a rare view, keep your expectations realistic: you’re there to experience how it’s seen and how it looks, not just to splash around.

If you’re sensitive to slippery surfaces or want easy footing, consider bringing sandals with a firm grip or water-safe shoes. The tour doesn’t mention special gear—so being prepared is on you.

The Ubud Jungle Swing: when to add the thrill

After the waterfalls, there’s the optional Ubud Jungle Swing activity. It’s described as a thrilling ride through a jungle backdrop from high up above, with both single and tandem swings possible.

The big practical note is cost: the swing fee is not included, listed as IDR 350,000 per person. So if you’re budgeting, treat this as a separate add-on rather than part of the base tour price.

You’ll get around 1 hour for the swing stop, which is typically enough time to ride (or at least watch your group ride) and reset before the ride back. If your group has different energy levels, this is a nice compromise: the waterfall lovers get a full day, and the adrenaline people get a clear highlight.

Bring the basics you’ll need for a higher, outdoorsy activity: comfortable clothes, secure footwear, and a plan for personal items. The tour listing doesn’t spell out what storage is available at the swing, so assume you’ll need to keep your phone and wallet secure.

Guides and the small moves that keep the day good

This is one of those tours where the guide quality can make or break your day. In the feedback I saw, guides were consistently described as friendly, attentive, and clear with communication.

For example, Dewa comes up multiple times—people appreciated that he was easy to talk with and that he took good care of the group during visits to the three waterfalls. Norman is also mentioned for staying on time for pickup (from Nusa Dua) and for explaining cultural and religious points of interest during the drive. Oka is credited with being informative and fun, and even as a helpful photographer, which matters when you want waterfall photos without constantly switching who holds the camera.

Then there’s Awan and Agung, with feedback pointing to professional behavior, strong English communication, and a respected attitude around the places you visit. In plain terms: you’re not just getting transportation—you’re getting someone who can translate what you’re seeing and keep the day flowing.

Even if you don’t care about history lectures, a good guide helps with timing—arriving when the light and crowds are manageable, and keeping you from wandering away from the route.

Price and value: what $46 buys you (and what it doesn’t)

At $46 per person, this tour has solid structure for a first-time Bali visitor—especially if you’re staying outside Ubud. The price includes several things that usually cost extra on your own:

• Private transportation
• Bottled water
• Entrance fees for the waterfalls
• Guided visits across three separate stops

That’s the value engine: three paid entries and all the driving/logistics handled for you.

What’s not included is where you’ll want to budget ahead:

• Lunch is not included.
• The Ubud Jungle Swing fee is not included (IDR 350,000 per person).
• Any personal expenses are on you.

Also, the tour notes it’s booked on average about 15 days in advance. In busy seasons, that timing matters because you’ll want your pickup slot and your waterfalls day to line up with your other plans.

If you compare this to paying for separate transfers and separate tickets, the all-in approach is usually the cheaper headache-free option. You’re basically paying for convenience plus the guide.

Best fit: who this tour suits best

This tour is a great fit if you:

• Want three different waterfalls in one day around Ubud
• Prefer guided walking rather than self-driving and guessing your timing
• Are staying in Sanur, Kuta, Canggu, Legian, Jimbaran, or Nusa Dua and don’t want to figure out the logistics
• Would enjoy a swim possibility at Tegenungan
• Like the idea of adding the jungle swing if you’re feeling adventurous

It’s less ideal if you:

• Hate a long day in transit (it’s around 8 hours)
• Plan to eat lunch on your own and don’t want to think about it
• Are sure you won’t do the swing—because the swing is optional, but it’s still part of the tour concept

When you’re at each waterfall: simple “do this, not that” advice

Keep expectations realistic and you’ll have a better day.

At Tegenungan, go in ready for possible water time. If you swim, change slowly, rinse well, and don’t rush your return to the path.

At Tibumana, embrace the calmer vibe. If you’re the type who takes a lot of photos, this is where you can slow down and let the quiet moments happen.

At Tukad Cepung, focus on the “rare view” aspect. Since the listing emphasizes it as unique, treat it as a visual stop. Take your time to look around and find your best viewing angle before you start rushing for pictures.

And in every stop, remember: you’re dealing with wet rock and outdoor paths. Comfortable, secure footwear beats stylish every time.

Should you book this Bali waterfall-and-swing day?

Yes, if you want an efficient way to see Tegenungan, Tibumana, and Tukad Cepung with pickup, included entrance fees, and a guide who helps the day make sense. The biggest reason to book is value: you’re paying for three stops and the transport plan in one go.

If you’re the kind of traveler who wants a single waterfall experience with lots of downtime, choose a slower day instead. This one is built for variety and movement.

My call: book it if you want a well-paced “greatest hits” day near Ubud—plus the option to turn up the fun with the Ubud Jungle Swing.
