Volcano Views, a Sacred Temple, a Waterfall, and Cretya Ubud
This tour opens with breakfast at a Kintamani cafe, looking out over Mount Batur and the volcanic caldera below — one of the most photographed views in central Bali. From there the route continues to a local coffee and herbal tea plantation (optional), then to Tirta Empul, one of Bali's most sacred water temples, and on to Ulu Petanu Waterfall.
The day finishes at Alas Harum Bali Cretya Ubud. The tour includes transport and the driver's time here, but not the Cretya pools themselves — swimming at Cretya is explicitly not part of this tour, so budget separately if you want to get in the water. Coverage for hotel pickup and drop-off runs across Ubud and South Bali, including Sanur, Seminyak, Canggu, Legian, Kuta, and Jimbaran; pickup in Nusa Dua and Uluwatu carries an additional per-car fee, and pickup is not offered in Karangasem, Singaraja, or Tabanan.
