If you’re looking to escape the crowded tourist spots and experience Bali’s quieter, more genuine side, this Bali Swing and Waterfall Tour might be just what you need. For $129.99 per person, you’ll spend roughly 7 to 9 hours exploring two of Bali’s most photogenic and lesser-visited locations — a breathtaking waterfall and a jungle swing that offers sweeping views of Nungnung Valley. With hotel pickup and a private guide, this tour caters well to travelers seeking a personalized experience that balances adventure with culture.
We love that this tour takes you off the beaten path, providing a chance to capture some truly spectacular photos—think swimming beneath a waterfall and soaring on a giant swing. The inclusion of a local Indonesian lunch adds a nice touch of authenticity, rounding out the experience with good value for the price.
One thing to consider is that the itinerary involves some physical activity—swimming, walking, and climbing—so it’s best suited for travelers with moderate mobility. Also, because it’s a private tour, you’ll need to book well in advance (most travelers book 72 days ahead). This experience suits those who crave a mix of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural flavor, away from the crowds and typical tourist traps.

The Itinerary Breakdown
This tour starts with a visit to the Real Bali Swing, an activity that’s become a must-do for those seeking a bit of adrenaline and panoramic views. Facing the jungle and river, the swing provides a spectacular vantage point perfect for photos. It’s a highlight for many, especially because it feels like stepping into a postcard. One reviewer mentioned, “My husband and I did this tour with Wi as our driver, and we had a wonderful time! We experienced the Ubud swing, the monkey forest, and then the waterfall.”
Next, you’ll head to the Sangeh Monkey Forest, a less touristy alternative to Bali’s more famous parks. The quiet, less crowded setting allows for a relaxed monkey encounter, where you can observe these playful creatures amid lush greenery. The review highlighted Wi’s friendliness and knowledge, adding to the enjoyment of this stop.
The centerpiece is the Nungnung Waterfall, which remains one of Bali’s nicest natural attractions. Instead of the heavily commercialized waterfalls often packed with visitors, Nungnung offers a more genuine experience. You’ll have about 1.5 hours here, enough time to enjoy a swim beneath the falls and take in the spectacular scenery. One traveler praised it as “still natural, less touristy, and for sure less crowded,” making it ideal for those wanting a peaceful connection with nature.
Why These Spots Matter
The waterfall is a real highlight, especially for travelers who love water and nature. Swimming beneath the falls isn’t just a photo op; it’s a refreshing way to connect with Bali’s pristine environment. The jungle swing elevates your experience—literally—offering sweeping views that are perfect for epic shots and memories.
The private guide makes all the difference, answering questions and ensuring you get the most out of each stop without feeling rushed. Plus, the comfortable private vehicle means you can relax between spots, avoiding the chaos of larger tour groups.
What Travelers Love (and What to Consider)
According to reviews, Wi’s friendly and knowledgeable guidance was a big plus—making the day both enjoyable and informative. The experiences are well-paced, and guests appreciate the attention to detail, like accommodating dietary needs.
However, some might find the physical aspect of the day challenging, especially if they’re not comfortable swimming or walking longer distances. The tour duration, spanning up to 9 hours, also means you should be prepared for a full day of adventure.
Value for Money
At nearly $130, this tour offers excellent value, considering the private transportation, multiple attractions, and included lunch. Compared to typical Bali excursions, it’s a well-rounded choice for travelers who want quality over quantity, with the flexibility and focus of a private tour.
