3.Bali Tour : Tegenungan – Tukad Cepung – Kanto Lampo – Tibumana Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · from $25

Ride in a private air-conditioned car from Ubud or much of south Bali to Tukad Cepung, Kanto Lampo, Tibumana, and Tegenungan waterfalls. Your English-speaking driver acts as guide, with Wi-Fi, bottled water, insurance, and photo help available. Confirm the waterfall order and whether entrance fees are included before departure.

“Nice way to easily get around and see 4 waterfalls in 1 day. I never felt rushed and the driver let me spend as much time at each of the waterfalls as I wanted, and offered to take pictures for me too. However, we did not go to Tegenungan, and went to Ulupetanu instead, which was still pretty but just an fyi the title of this tour is misleading.”
