We provide private tour, led by English speaking driver who will assist your tour and pass the local knowledge.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Taman Wisata Kertha Gosa
Kertha Gosa was not known exactly who was the founder of this palace, but according to the Candra Sengkala carved at pemedal Agung (Palace’s main door), it had been existence in the year Caka, Cakra Yuyu Paksi Paksi which means the year Caka 1622 or around the year 1700 A.D, when Dewa Agung Jambe governed the Kingdom of Bali.
2. Jambul Hill
Bukit Jambul Hill is renown as an outstanding natural tourist destination due to the harmonious combination of hilly land, rice fields, valleys and the beautiful sea panorama in a distance. From high land, we will be able to witness the beauty of the nature beneath. A stunning fertile rice fields terrace surrounding the area of Bukit Jambul has long enjoyed its reputation.
3. Besakih Temple
Besakih Temple covering a vast area that offers breathtaking mountain scenery surrounding this beautiful and artistic temple complex. Facing Mt. Agung’s highest peak, believed to be the abode of the gods, and located at an altitude of 900 meters, Pura Besakih is built in the village of Besakih, in the eastern part of Bali.
4. Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Tukad Cepung Waterfall has mesmerized everyone who have managed to spot it. Well-guarded by the cliffs, this waterfall is difficult to locate for the first time visitor. A few hundred stairs down the cliff is worth the effort once you arrive at the destination. The circular cliffs give you the feeling of being in a cave, while the open sky right from where the waterfall emerges, gives you the most enchanting view. The sunlight falls on the glistering waterfall creating a rainbow, which feels as though it is projected right up to you. If you have never seen water flowing from the sky, then this would be your chance. Unlike any other waterfalls in Bali, Tukad Cepung Waterfall does not flow into a river, stream or jungle, but it flows gently down the cliffs. The river can be seen from up above, meanwhile the waterfall can only be viewed once you walk down the stairs and into the cliff.

We had an amazing day with eco Bali tours. Our tour guide and driver, Dharma was the best. Very friendly, knowledgeable and very funny. He spoke great English and was absolutely accommodating. We started at the Justice court, then on our way to Besakih temple, Dharma pulled over for a beautiful view And quick photo shoot. Besakih temple was just as beautiful with the clouds clearing up just enough to see Mt. Agung. After spending time at the temple, Dharma took us to a buffet restaurant which was included with a beautiful view of rice terraces and the mountain. Lastly we went to Tukad Cepung to cool off and take beautiful pictures of the waterfall. I definitely recommend and will be requesting Dharma again before we leave!

We have seen many temples in Bali so we also wanted to visit the mother temple. We were there in the preseason. The temples are old. You can't really go into the temples. You go up with a guide and a train on wheels. When it stops you are almost ambushed by sellers. Not nice. Then you walk through the complex with the guide. We thought he did it too quickly. Made some sacrifices at the top where you were almost forced to do so. Not a nice feeling if you want to experience what it was like in the past. I think in high season it is very busy.

I bought this solo trip facilitated by Eco Bali Tours and I must say it was a great experience! My driver Dimas was súper profesional: he picked me and dropped me off at the door of my hotel in Ubud, AC was on all the time, the car was super clean and the best part was that he was able to communicate in English, so he gave some insights and recommendations to do the best of my time in Bali!

The whole trip is breathtaking, specially Besakih (Mother of All Temples), this one was my favorite! When you arrive to Lempuyang you’ll probably have to wait a couple of hours just to take a picture at the famous Gate of Heaven. However, while you wait (trust me, it’s going to be a long time) you can visit the other temples and take amazing pictures at The Heaven’s garden.
When you visit Bali make sure to buy this packet and ask Dimas as your designated driver! You won’t be in better hands!

We had such a great day out on this tour and our driver Nyoman was amazing. He is so friendly and knowledgeable and such a kind man, he made our day!! The tour was great and we learnt a lot as well as burnt a few calories climbing the stairs after visiting the waterfall. Would highly recommend this tour

A great day trip that was made even better by our guide for the day, Darma. Darma was knowledgeable and engaging and really added the local insight to the day.

The mother temple was the highlight. Even on a cloudy day the views are spectacular and the temples are amazing. A local guide will show you around (tip required at the end of the tour) which is able to add further levels of information.

The other two stops are pretty interesting with the waterfall an insta hot spot for those inclined. It must be noted that you really require the right type of footwear for the waterfall as you are traversing lots of steps and navigating through very rocky River beds once at the bottom.

An enjoyable trip with a great guide who really made the day.
