Ulun Danu Bratan
After soaking in the atmosphere of this market and perhaps trying out something that is for sale, you drive on to Lake Bratan, home to floating Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. One of the holiest temples, built entirely on small islands and dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, has yet to find a match in terms of charm. Guests will quickly notice that the climate around this temple is a bit cooler compared to the seaside areas of the south; this has to do with its location above sea level.
120 minutes here · Admission included
Buleleng District
You cross the mountains over a serpentine road until you have a stunning view of the Bali Sea in Buleleng where we follow the coastline in the direction of Lovina. The beaches of Lovina are covered with black sand, and it is right here where lunch will be served.
60 minutes here
Banjar Hot Springs
Moving along to the town of Banjar, home of the hot springs with, as they say, healing properties. The high concentration of sulphur content of the water has proven to have nourishing effects on your skin. A second pool is smaller and warmer, fed consistently by the water emerging from the mouths of stone dragons and barongs. We give you the chance to enjoy a healthy dip here before we head back in the direction of southern Bali and your hotel.

Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar?
+
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 Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar?
+
Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Northern Bali Highlights Tour: Bedugul, Lovina & Banjar 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.
