Pleasant but for those wanting a more cost effective solution, I wouldn’t recommend
The price includes the pickup, drop off and entrance tickets. However we didn’t really get to see the Bali Swing properly. We just saw it from near the entrance area and we were not allowed to explore it although the entrance ticket was paid for. The experience was nice however, the cost is mainly for the travel as the entrance tickets are very cheap. For example the waterfall entrance tickets was 30.000 IDR which is like £1.35 so you get the idea. It would be more cost effective to hire your own bike which you can get for £5 a day and travel yourself to these attractions. Firstly they are within Ubud area and there arnt many roads in Bali so the fear of getting lost is minimal. Petrol will cost you around £1/£2. All you need is Google map to guide you. Snack was supposed to be provided but we didn’t get any. The driver was nice and so are everyone is Bali. We have not met anyone that was mean or rude. I wouldn’t recommend this excursion. It’s better to go yourself and have that personal alone time. You actually don’t need a guide and there are loads of tourists and workers there. For £60 you could do alot more in Ubud rather than just pay for a car. I would say save yourself the money and explore it yourself for half the price at your own leisure.
Response from the operator: Dear Sakira, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our service. We'd like to address the points you've raised. As previously mentioned, the swing activity is an optional add-on that customers can choose to participate in upon arrival at the location. The entrance ticket is already included in our tour package, allowing you to access and take pictures at all designated spots. However, we noticed that you seemed reluctant to walk to some areas, including the bird nest picture spot, and were hesitant to pay for the additional swing activity. We intentionally exclude the swing activity from the package price because not all customers can participate. Including it would require customers to pay upfront, potentially resulting in non-refundable losses due to our cancellation policy. You mentioned the ticket prices, and we'd like to clarify that our All Entrance Ticket Inclusive Premium package, which you purchased, indeed includes entrance tickets. This is clearly stated on our website. In contrast, our Special Private Guided Tour option does not include entrance tickets, and customers can pay for them in cash on the day of travel. Regarding the Tampaksiring stop, we offered snacks and tea with coffee, but you opted to skip it. Our guide, Mr. Nyoman Anggawa, respected your request. We'd like to assure you that our professional guides provide full-service tours, prioritizing safety, comfort, and enthusiasm from pickup to drop-off. If you had booked a conventional taxi, the costs and arrangements would be different, potentially exceeding the cost of our tour package. After reviewing your comments, we believe that you were seeking a refund for the swing activity, which is clearly stated as an additional activity on our website. As a result, we declined your refund request. We hope you enjoy the remainder of your vacation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help. Best regards, Putu Martika

Unforgettable Experience with an Exceptional Guide – Nyoman!
We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day in Bali with Nyoman as our guide, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. From the very beginning, Nyoman shared with his every aspect of his culture (and was also very interested in how this compared to our own) He explained everything with such clarity and passion that we found ourselves completely immersed in the stories and traditions of the island. Throughout the day, he remained incredibly attentive and never rushed us, making sure we felt comfortable and engaged at every step. When my husband decided last-minute to take part in a traditional purification ritual, Nyoman offered guidance and support throughout the experience. His presence during the ritual gave a deeper understanding of its spiritual significance and made it a moment to remember.
Response from the operator: Terima kasih banyak (thank you very much) for your wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed our time together exploring the beauty and culture of Bali. It was a pleasure sharing my island's traditions and stories with you, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn about your own culture as well. I'm happy to hear that I could make your experience special, especially during the purification ritual. Wishing you all the best and hoping to welcome you back to Bali again someday! Kind Regards Jro Mangku Nyoman Anggawa Putra Tapakan Pura Dalem

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $9 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 26 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gunung Kawi Temple Ubud Waterfall And Swing Private Guided Tour 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Bali Waterfalls: Tibumana, Tukad Cepung and Tegenungan, Bali Instagram Tour: The Most Scenic Spots, Ubud Hot Springs and Waterfall Private Guided Tour. 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 Seminyak?
+
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 Seminyak?
+
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.
