The best Bali Swing and Spiritual Healing Tour
Unforgettable Solo Bali Swing Tour and Waterfall. I had so much fun that I booked 2 tours with Dewa. Dewa picked me up from my hotel and was easy going. He is so friendly and patient. He took so many beautiful photos and videos of me. First trip was Bali swing and waterfall and then we went to a beautiful rice field for coffee luwak. Second trip was for a Bali spiritual and healing trip. The Shaman was so gifted and I felt a sense of peace and release after. Then we went to a temple that was ancient. Overall , I highly recommend Dewa as you will be well taken care of whether you are a solo traveler or in a group.
Response from the operator: Dear nonanureen. We would like to express our gratitude after receiving such a great compliment for one of our driver/tour guide, Dewa. Here in Dewa Bali Tour, we would always try our best to meet our costumers’ expectations. We are glad to know that our services bring so much satisfaction to your trip. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we are looking forward to seeing you again in Bali. Regards,Dewa

Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples?
+
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 Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples 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 Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples 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 Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Ubud Top Attractions: Waterfalls, Temples and Rice Terraces. 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.
What is included in Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples?

Not included: Meals & drinks (lunch at local restaurant available at own expense); and Personal expenses & gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Hidden Ubud: Waterfalls & Sacred Temples?
+
On the day of the tour, our professional driver will arrive at the hotel lobby or designated pickup point 5–10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
