My excursion went really...
My excursion went really well. I ended up being the only one in the group, so it was like a private tour, even though I had booked a group package. The guide, Putu Karisna, was incredibly kind and very available. She happily shared her Balinese culture with us. During the jungle trek, she showed me some plants. It was pleasant. It was well-organized. I had a fantastic time.

One perfect day at Bali Twin Lake Trekking Point
I’m so glad I picked Bali Lovina Tours – honestly one of the best days I had in Bali. The whole team was super nice. Yogi helped put together the travel plan for me. Edy was our driver, and he has this super cool all-blue car. Putu was our guide for the day – she was really, really sweet. I also got lucky to travel with a lovely girl. Everyone was so friendly. Putu taught us a lot about the rainforest, took us to the Water Temple by canoe, and then we had a delicious local lunch. Last stop was the waterfall. Everything was just perfect. Such a great memory!

We had a fantastic day!...
We had a fantastic day! Our trekking guide Tia was absolutely amazing - she explained everything so well, we learned a lot from her, and she was such a pleasure to have as our guide. Our driver Utu Adi was also very kind; he shared lots of interesting information with us, and we really enjoyed chatting with him. The things we saw during the tour were beautiful, and the whole experience felt truly magical.

We take great pride in our knowledgeable guides like Tia and our friendly drivers like Utu Adi. It is fantastic to hear that the scenery and the hospitality made it a magical day for you. We hope to see you again soon!

Amazing Day Trip to Munduk with Jungle Hike, Canoeing & Banyumala Waterfalls
Highly recommendable and a fantastic day trip to the northern Bali area of Munduk. Our local guide Putu was amazing—very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. The jungle hike followed by canoeing was a wonderful experience away from the crowded tourist attractions in the southern part of Bali. The Banyumala Twin Waterfall was another highlight and, in my opinion, the best waterfall in Bali. It features many smaller side waterfalls and plenty of space to explore. It’s about a 2-hour drive each way from Ubud, but I can highly recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to North Bali with Putu, and that his knowledge, friendliness, and accommodating nature made the experience truly special. 🌿✨ We’re so glad you loved the jungle hike, canoeing, and especially Banyumala Twin Waterfall—it really is one of Bali’s hidden gems. Your feedback about escaping the crowded areas and experiencing the beauty of Munduk means a lot, and will be very helpful for future travelers. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Putu, and we look forward to welcoming you again for more memorable adventures in Bali. Warm regards, Yogi Bali Lovina Tours – Viator Local Partner

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud cost?
+
Prices start at $24 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali Twin Lakes Jungle Trekking & Canoeing Tour from Ubud start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
