Ubud Top Waterfall and swing in tegallalang
Book on Viator →Operated by bali journey experience · Bookable on Viator
Three waterfalls, one smooth day. If you want Bali nature without the long slog between sights, this Ubud loop is a strong plan: you hit Kanto Lampo with its rock-step cascade, then slow down at Tibumana, and finish at Suwat for that deep turquoise swim vibe.
What I like most is the variety in the water itself, from black-lava tiers to calmer jungle pools, so your photos don’t all look the same. I also like that the day is run like a real transport-and-photo schedule, with drivers such as Niko and Eka getting praised for helpfulness and snapping photos when you need them. One thing to consider: meals aren’t included, so plan on grabbing lunch or snacks on your own between stops.

Key things to know before you go

- Three different waterfalls in one half-day so you get variety without wasting daylight
- Entrance fees are included, which keeps the day simple
- Private transportation + pickup offered means less hassle than hopping around solo
- A Tegallalang swing stop adds a fun photo moment beyond the waterfalls
- Bottled water is included, helpful when the sun hits hard
- No meals included, so you’ll want a snack plan
The Route: Kanto Lampo, Tibumana, Suwat, and a Tegallalang swing moment

This is built as a tight Ubud day. Expect about 6 hours total, plus a good amount of time for short descents, standing in wet spots, and getting photos that actually look like you went somewhere scenic.
The waterfall order makes sense. Kanto Lampo starts the day with drama and quick access to the water. Then Tibumana slows everything down with a quieter feel and greenery around you. You end with Suwat, which is described as less crowded and more adventurous in feel, including a bamboo raft element and a cave-like setting around the swim.
And then there’s the extra: a swing in Tegallalang. One of the best parts of tours like this is the mix—nature that cools you down, plus that easy, crowd-friendly photo moment. If you’re traveling with someone who wants at least one big wow photo, this helps.
Because it’s private, you’ll only be with your group. That matters in Bali, where timing can get messy. If you want your stops to feel like a day plan rather than a moving line, private pickup and transport help a lot.

Kanto Lampo Waterfall: black-lava tiers and that quick photo descent

Kanto Lampo is all about shape. The water drops in tiered steps over black lava rock, so you don’t just see a waterfall—you see a natural staircase of moving water. The descent is short, around 5–10 minutes, which is perfect if you don’t want a long hike before your first dip.
What you’ll likely enjoy most here is the combination of easy walking and strong photo angles. The pool area is shallow enough that it’s practical to stand, cool off, and still get shots without needing to commit to a full swim for every moment.
A realistic consideration: rock areas can get slippery, especially when you’re moving from sun to damp stone. Wear something with grip. Also, don’t assume you’ll be dry by the time you get to the next stop—this tour is about water time, and it’s better to accept that than fight it.
If you’re the type who likes to be at a viewpoint early, Kanto Lampo is a good opener because it’s immediate. You’ll feel like the day already worked before you even get to the next waterfall.
Tibumana Waterfall: peaceful energy, great swimming, and easier crowd vibes

After the drama of Kanto Lampo, Tibumana Waterfall changes the mood. This stop is described as serene and photogenic, with a quieter atmosphere and lush surroundings. If you’re tired of noisy tourist clusters, this is the one on the loop that feels like it gives you breathing room.
The setup is also good for a calmer swim. The pool here is well-suited for relaxing in the water rather than just dashing around for photos. You’ll likely spend more time lingering—standing in the current, taking a few photos, then just chilling.
Timing helps too. Tibumana is planned as a longer stop in the flow of the day (about 2 hours in the tour structure). That gives you room to take it slow without feeling rushed back into the car.
One practical note: since this is a nature stop, bugs and humidity are part of the deal. Keep your essentials simple—something for your phone (or a way to keep it protected), and a small towel if you have one. The tour includes bottled water, but you’ll still want to handle your own comfort stuff.
Suwat Waterfall: turquoise water, bamboo raft vibes, and cave-like feels

Suwat Waterfall is the adventure ending. It’s about 30 minutes from Ubud, and it’s described as less crowded than some other Bali waterfall spots, which is a big deal when you’re trying to enjoy the water instead of queueing for it.
The water is around 15 meters tall, and it drops into a deep turquoise pool—exactly the kind of color that makes people stop moving and start taking photos. You’ll also find a more playful, slightly wild element: a bamboo raft and a cave-like setting. Even without getting overly technical, that description tells you the area feels different from a straight open-air waterfall.
What I think matters for you here is the balance between fun and safety. A raft element and cave-like surroundings usually mean you’ll be moving carefully and following the flow of the spot. Take your time with footing. If you’re traveling with kids or someone who doesn’t love slippery surfaces, you’ll want to stick close and avoid rushing.
Also, plan on being wet. Suwat is built for swimming and photos, not for looking at the waterfall from far away. If you’re hoping for dry shoes, this might not be the best match. But if you want the satisfying finish—cooling down after two other stops—Suwat is the one that delivers.
Tegallalang Swing: the fun photo break between waterfall moments

This experience includes a swing in Tegallalang, and at least one review calls it out as an added surprise. That’s a smart mix because it gives you a different kind of photo compared to waterfall angles.
Think of the swing as a short mental reset. After damp stone and waterfall pools, the swing stop is usually a quick activity where you get that big visual moment—often with easier “pose and go” energy than a waterfall where you’re waiting on the light and timing your shots.
Since the only hard detail provided is that it’s in Tegallalang, I won’t guess at the view specifics. But Tegallalang is famous for its countryside look, so you can expect the swing stop to be framed for photos rather than just a ride.
If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s worth keeping in mind that swings can feel intense. Otherwise, it’s a fun addition—especially if you want at least one activity that feels playful, not only wet and scenic.
How the private transport and timing keep your day from feeling chaotic

The tour includes private transportation and pickup offered. That’s more than a convenience; it changes how the day feels. In Ubud, roads can be slow, and waterfall stops eat time. A private car helps you keep the day on track and reduces the stress of coordinating with other groups.
Duration is listed as about 6 hours, and each waterfall stop is set up with enough time to enjoy the place instead of just sprinting through it. The tour also includes entrance tickets and bottled water, which keeps you from spending your day looking for ticket booths and figuring out what to pay where.
One theme from reviews: guides like Niko and Eka are described as patient, friendly, and helpful with photo moments. That matters because the hardest part of a waterfall day isn’t the waterfall—it’s figuring out where to stand for photos while staying safe and keeping moving.
If you like a guide who chats in the car (and shares stories about Bali), you’re likely to enjoy that too. Reviews mention drivers being great at conversation and helping with what to do next.
Price and value: why $45.82 can be a good deal here

The price is $45.82 per person. For Bali, that’s only a good deal if what’s included actually reduces friction for you—and in this case, it does.
This is one of the better-value setups because it includes:
- Entrance fees (so you aren’t paying again at each stop)
- Bottled water
- Private transportation
- Pickup offered
- Mobile ticket
Meals are not included, so you should budget for lunch or snacks. But even with that, the cost can still feel fair because the tour removes a lot of guesswork.
Also, your time is part of the value. A multi-stop waterfall day can turn into a mess when you’re trying to DIY transport and tickets. Here, the structure does the heavy lifting. You just show up, get ready for wet shoes and photos, and follow the route.
If you’re traveling as a pair or small group, the private format usually makes the per-person cost feel even more reasonable, since you’re not sharing a car with strangers.
What to bring (so you actually enjoy three waterfalls)

This tour is about getting wet, walking on damp stone, and taking photos. So I’d pack like it’s a water-and-photos day, not a museum day.
Bring:
- Water shoes or grippy sandals for slippery rocks
- A small towel or quick-dry cloth
- Dry bag or phone pouch for your electronics (water + phones is a bad combo)
- Sunscreen and a hat, since you’ll have outdoor time between stops
- A light change of clothes if you hate feeling damp for the rest of the day
You’ll also want a snack plan because no meals are included. If you skip food, you’ll feel it during the swing stop and the ride between waterfalls. Simple snacks beat hangry decision-making.
One more practical tip: with waterfall photos, timing matters. If your guide offers to help with photos (reviews mention guides taking photos when needed), use that. It often gives you better angles with less scrambling.
Who this is best for (and who should reconsider)
This tour fits well if you:
- Want three waterfall experiences without the stress of navigating between them
- Like nature photography and want stops that are visually different
- Want a private day with pickup and transport
- Are okay spending time in wet areas and planning for it
You might reconsider if you:
- Are looking for a dry, low-activity sightseeing day (this is built around swimming and natural pools)
- Hate swimming or slippery surfaces
- Don’t want to manage food independently, since meals aren’t included
The tour notes say most travelers can participate, which is a good sign. Still, be honest about your comfort with short descents and damp rock areas.
Should you book this Ubud waterfall and Tegallalang swing tour?
I’d book it if you want a structured, photo-friendly day with entrance fees included and a private pickup that keeps the day smooth. It’s especially appealing if you like variety: Kanto Lampo for the tiered look, Tibumana for calm and swimming, and Suwat for that deeper turquoise water plus bamboo raft and cave-like feel. Add the Tegallalang swing, and you get both nature and a fun photo activity.
Skip it only if you’re the type who needs a guaranteed dry itinerary, or if you truly don’t want to think about lunch/snacks since meals aren’t part of the package.
If you’re deciding between going simple on your own versus taking a driver who keeps things moving, this tour leans toward the easier win. You get a plan, tickets, water, transport, and the kind of guided patience that helps waterfall days feel like fun instead of logistics.
