This is a Bali day trip built around one big moment: the Tlaga Singha jungle infinity pool. I like how the tour mixes classic Ubud scenery with real time to slow down, not just rush from photo spot to photo spot. I also like that it’s private and customizable, so your driver can shape the pacing around you. One thing to consider: start-time mixups can happen, especially with early pickups, so confirm details ahead of time.
You’ll spend the bulk of the day in the Ubud area, with a relaxed rhythm of water, temple stone, and rice terraces—then finish with a long pool session that feels like a reward. The pool stop includes pool access and a free drink, which turns what could be a quick stop into actual downtime.
The price is $55 per person (minimum 2 people), which is a decent value for a private 8 to 10 hour day with air-conditioned transport and WiFi. Just remember that entrance tickets and lunch aren’t included, so plan your budget for those add-ons and bring extra patience for the day’s driving time.

Key highlights (what makes it worth your time)
- Tlaga Singha infinity pool with jungle views and sunken lounge-style relaxation (plus free drink and pool access)
- Tegenungan Waterfall as an easy, scenic nature stop with a short visit window
- Batuan Temple for Balinese stonework and a quieter temple vibe compared to the biggest tourist hubs
- Tegalalang Rice Terrace viewpoints for the layered green paddies people come to Bali for
- Private format with a friendly local driver and customization based on your mood
- Optional adventure add-ons like ATV, white-water rafting, jungle trekking, or tubing
Why this day starts at Tlaga Singha (and why that matters)
Tlaga Singha isn’t just another pool on a map. It’s the kind of place that changes your mood. The big draw is the jungle infinity pool setting, where you’re meant to float, sit, and look at green trees instead of scanning for the next ticket line.
I like that the tour gives you a full block of time here—about 2 hours—and not a rushed 20-minute dip. That matters because Bali days can get fast once you hit temples and viewpoints. Having a real “pause point” in the middle keeps the day from feeling like a checklist.
You also get a free drink and pool access as part of the experience. So you’re not doing mental math mid-swim, figuring out what you can afford or whether a drink purchase will wreck your budget. Cabana and long chair aren’t included, but the core pool time is.
If you want a day that feels like two halves—culture first, then relaxation—you’ll appreciate how the schedule is built around the pool.

Getting picked up in Seminyak for an 8–10 hour day
This is priced per person, but it runs like a private charter: you and your group ride together in an air-conditioned vehicle, with WiFi on board. Pickup is offered, and the tour can be booked with a mobile ticket.
Timing is the one piece you should treat seriously. You’re signing up for an 8 to 10 hour outing, and the first hours are when delays can feel the most annoying. In one real-world case, a very early pickup time didn’t line up with what the guest expected, and the driver arrived later. I can’t promise that will happen to you, but it’s a good reminder: when your pickup is early, double-check the confirmed start time close to the booking date.
Plan for a full day in Ubud’s traffic and roads. Even when each stop is relatively short, driving and timing add up. If you’re the type who hates surprises, set your expectations for a longer day and keep a light, flexible mindset.
Stop-by-stop: pool, waterfall, temple, and rice terraces
This tour works because it balances different kinds of Bali experiences: one part nature water sounds, one part temple stone and carvings, and one part those iconic rice terrace views. Here’s what to expect at each key stop, including the practical trade-offs.
Tlaga Singha Bali Jungle Infinity Pool (about 2 hours)
This is the main event. You’re going to spend around 2 hours at the pool with admission included. Expect a jungle setting, an infinity-edge view, and plenty of places to just sit back.
What I like most is that you’re not limited to a quick swim. The schedule gives you time to do what people actually want to do here:
- swim at your pace
- relax and take photos without feeling like you’re racing a countdown
- enjoy that jungle backdrop while you cool down
A small consideration: cabana and long chair aren’t included. If you want prime lounging setup, you may have to pay separately once you’re there. Still, the pool access and the vibe are the value part, and those are included.
Tegenungan Waterfall (about 45 minutes)
Next up is Tegenungan Waterfall. Your time window is shorter—around 45 minutes—and the ticket isn’t included.
This stop is popular for a reason: it’s accessible and the falls are easy to appreciate from walkable areas. The trade-off is that it can feel busier than a truly remote waterfall. If you want solitude, you’ll still probably find a few quiet moments, but don’t expect it to feel like you have the whole jungle to yourself.
Bring shoes or sandals you trust for damp paths. Also, wear something you can get wet in if you feel like standing close enough to feel mist.
Batuan Temple (about 45 minutes)
Then you’ll hit Batuan Temple, one of Bali’s older and more artistically detailed temples. Your visit is about 45 minutes, and entrance tickets aren’t included.
What makes Batuan compelling is the focus on craftsmanship: stone carvings and classic Balinese temple design. I like temple stops that aren’t just about snapping a picture and leaving. A 45-minute window is long enough to slow down, notice details, and respect the place without exhausting yourself.
A practical note: temples typically have dress expectations. The tour doesn’t mention a dress rental, so plan to bring a cover-up or wear clothing that won’t make entry difficult. If you show up in swimwear only, you may have a hassle.
Other full-day loops through the island greatest hits
Tegalalang Rice Terrace (about 1 hour)
Finally, you’ll go to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, with about 1 hour on the property. Ticketing isn’t included.
This is classic Ubud. The reason people come is the layered green paddies carved into the hillside. It’s a viewpoint stop where you’ll want time to look from different angles, not just one photo spot.
The trade-off here is crowding and how fast you’ll feel pulled in multiple directions. One hour is plenty if you keep your goal simple: pick a couple angles, walk a short stretch, and enjoy the view without over-planning. If you try to cover everything, you’ll end the hour tired instead of happy.
If you care about photos, plan to spend the last minutes doing slow looking, not rushing through. The rice terraces reward patient viewing.
Customization and optional adventure add-ons (ATV, rafting, trekking, tubing)
The tour is described as customizable, and that’s the biggest advantage if you want your day to match your energy level.
You can choose optional adventure activities such as:
- ATV ride
- white-water rafting
- jungle trekking
- tubing
Here’s how to think about it: every add-on changes the feel of your day. If you add a high-energy activity, it makes the pool stop even more valuable—but it can also make the waterfall and temple segments feel shorter or more tiring.
If you’re unsure what to pick, I’d ask you this:
- Do you want this day to feel mostly relaxed with a thrill moment, or mostly active with short culture stops?
- Are you comfortable getting wet and moving around on uneven paths?
Because the itinerary windows are already defined for the main sights, choosing an add-on usually means your driver will manage time tightly. That can be great if you’re flexible, but it’s not ideal if you want zero surprises.
Price and what’s actually included (so you don’t get caught off guard)
Let’s talk value honestly. You’re paying $55 per person, and it’s a private day trip lasting about 8 to 10 hours. That price includes:
- bottled water
- air-conditioned vehicle
- private transportation
- WiFi on board
- 1 drink free at Tlaga Singha (plus pool access)
So you’re not paying extra for transport comfort and basic refreshment. That can matter a lot in Bali, where the heat makes water and air-conditioning feel like part of the experience, not a bonus.
What’s not included:
- entrance tickets for activities and tourist sites
- lunch
- cabana and long chair at the pool
There’s also a minimum booking rule: 2 people minimum. If you’re booking solo, there’s an extra cost of IDR 350,000 paid directly to the driver.
My take on value: if you would otherwise pay separately for pool admission plus private transport, the package makes sense. If you already planned to skip paid entrances and you only want a quick look, you might feel like you’re paying for time you don’t use. But if you want a real day—pool time plus major Ubud sights—the structure fits.
Also note: the tour is commonly booked about 6 days in advance. That’s a sign it fills up, so don’t wait for “maybe later” planning if your dates are fixed.
Practical tips to make the day feel smooth
A good private tour is less about the brochure and more about how you show up. Here are smart, low-effort things to do so you enjoy the day instead of managing discomfort.
Wear for changing plans
You’ll mix pool time, waterfall time, temple time, and rice terrace walking. Bring a cover-up or clothing you can adapt fast. If you’re going from pool straight into a wet nature spot, you’ll feel better with a plan for damp clothes.
Plan your swim expectations
Tlaga Singha has pool access, so you’re meant to use it. But cabanas and long chairs aren’t included, so choose whether you want full lounging (and possible extras) or just enjoy the water and scenery.
Bring a small buffer for tickets and lunch
Entrance tickets aren’t included, and lunch isn’t included. You’ll want cash or a payment method you’re comfortable using for those stops. It’s easier to enjoy the day when money decisions aren’t happening while you’re trying to focus on a viewpoint.
Confirm your pickup details if you’re booking early
Based on a real issue where an early pickup didn’t match expectations until later in the morning, I recommend confirming the start time the day before and again the morning of your pickup if your schedule is tight. One small check can save you stress.
Who this private tour suits best
This experience is a strong match if you want:
- a private day with a local driver you can rely on
- a mix of culture and nature without sprinting through everything
- a proper relaxation stop at a scenic infinity pool
- optional adventure add-ons if you crave action
It may not be ideal if you prefer:
- a short half-day outing
- zero driving and zero time-sensitive transitions
- a fully guided walkthrough with all entrance tickets prepaid (since ticketing is not included)
It’s also best for pairs and small groups because of the minimum booking rule. If you’re traveling with a friend or partner, you’ll likely feel the value more clearly.
Should you book this Tlaga Singha and Ubud highlights tour?
If your ideal Bali day includes a real pool session plus major Ubud sights, I think you should book it. The pool time is the big selling point, and the rest of the itinerary supports it: waterfall for nature energy, temple for spiritual stone details, and rice terraces for the green-hillside views.
Choose it especially if you want a private format and you’re okay planning for entrance tickets and lunch. If you’re an early riser, confirm pickup timing so you start the day calmly.
I’d book this for couples, friends, and anyone who wants Bali to feel like a day out, not a rushed itinerary shuffle.
