Tlaga Singha Ubud Infinity Pool + Ubud Private Highlights.

One day, two Ubud icons, plus jungle pool time. I like how this blends cultural stops with real downtime, and then gives you Tlaga Singha pool access with a included drink. You also get a private, flexible day where you can choose extra adventure if you feel like it.

What I really enjoy is the mix of Ubud classics and variety: rice terraces for big views, a temple stop for Bali’s spiritual side, and a waterfall break to cool off. Then you finish with a jungle-side infinity pool that feels like a reward, not an afterthought.

One thing to consider is start-time confusion can happen. In one past booking, pickup timing got mixed up, so I’d confirm the pickup plan the day before and keep your phone ready early.

Key things to know before you go

  • Tlaga Singha pool time is the anchor, with entry plus a free drink included
  • Private pacing means fewer rushing moments, and you can choose how active you want the day to be
  • Ubud highlights are spread out across rice terraces, a temple, and market/palace area time
  • Optional thrill add-ons exist (ATV, rafting, trekking, tubing) if you want more action
  • Admission fees for other stops are not included, so plan for extra cash beyond the tour price

Tlaga Singha Jungle Infinity Pool, the part you will remember

If you picture Bali as Instagram water and also real jungle air, Tlaga Singha is the payoff. The pool stop runs about 2 hours, and the price includes pool access plus one drink. That matters, because pool time is often where people end up spending extra just to get comfortable. Here, you can show up, swim, and actually have time to enjoy it.

What makes this stop feel special is the setting and the design. You are swimming with tropical surroundings in view, and the pool area is set up for lounging too. Cabana and long chair access is not included, so if you want the full laid-back setup, plan on paying extra on-site or bring patience and towels and go for a comfy spot.

I also like that this tour does not treat the pool as a quick photo stop. Two hours is long enough to do a real swim, rest your legs after temples and viewpoints, and cool down before heading out again.

Practical note: because you will be in and out of the car and then in the water, pack like it’s a full day. Bring a small dry bag, a change of clothes, and something quick for after the swim.

How the Ubud highlights timing works in an 8 to 10 hour private day

This is a full-day private plan, roughly 8 to 10 hours depending on what you choose and how long you linger at each stop. The key is that it is private, so you are not stuck in a rigid group rhythm. Your local driver can keep things moving while still giving you breathing room.

The day is built like this:

  • culture and viewpoints earlier
  • nature break mid-day
  • then pool time as the relaxing closer

That sequence is smart. Rice terraces and temples can take more effort than people expect, because you walk uneven ground and then stand still for photos. By placing Tlaga Singha at the end, you get a natural “legs down” finish.

Also, this tour is customizable. You are not locked into only waterfalls and temples. If you want more adrenaline, you can add options like an ATV ride, white-water rafting, jungle trekking, or tubing. If you want a gentler day, you can skip the extras and focus on the classic sights plus pool relaxation.

One small reality check: because other entrances are not included (and lunch is also not included), you should expect to pay some extras yourself during the day. Think of the tour price as covering transport, guidance, and the big pool inclusion, while most site admissions and meals are on you.

Tegenungan Waterfall: quick nature power with a short time window

Tegenungan Waterfall is one of Bali’s most accessible waterfall areas near Ubud, and your stop is about 45 minutes. That is enough time to get close to the falls, take photos, and feel the spray without turning it into an all-day hike.

The advantage of a shorter waterfall stop is simple. You keep your energy for the rest of the day, especially the rice terrace viewpoints and temple visit. A lot of Bali itinerary trouble comes from overbuilding the day. This one keeps the waterfall portion controlled.

The drawback is also obvious: you need to be ready to move. If you love long lingering photo sessions or want to spend time exploring every side path, 45 minutes can feel tight.

Bring sensible footwear. Even without the details of what the path looks like, waterfall areas tend to be slippery. And since you are traveling by car between stops, keep water and a small towel handy in your bag. Bottled water is included, but you may still want a refill strategy later.

Batuan Temple: older carvings, calmer pacing

Next up is Batuan Temple, about 45 minutes. This stop is for Bali’s spiritual heritage and traditional architecture, with stone carvings and a quiet feel that contrasts nicely with more commercial areas.

I like Batuan for how it changes the mood. Rice terraces and waterfalls give you big scenery and movement. Temples shift you toward details, and that is where Bali’s artistry shows up. The stop is short enough to avoid fatigue, but long enough to slow down and actually look.

Since entrance tickets for the temple are not included, you will want to budget for that cost. Also keep your day plan flexible, because temple visits often come with simple cultural rules like appropriate clothing. If your outfit is borderline, you may end up paying for a wrap or adjusting on-site.

This is a good stop for:

  • people who want one serious cultural moment in the middle of a relaxed day
  • anyone who prefers architecture and carvings over constant movement
  • visitors who want balance after pool time later in the day

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: viewpoint time that feels worth it

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is a classic Ubud stop for a reason. Layers of rice paddies spread across the hillside, and the area is built for viewpoints and photos. Your time here is about 1 hour.

One reason this stop works well inside a half-active day is the pacing. You get enough time to see multiple angles, grab your main photos, and still have energy left for the next stop or pool.

The other reason it works: it’s visually clear. You can appreciate the scenery even if you do not understand the full farming system. It’s a place where you can look, breathe, and feel the hillside cool air after being in the car.

Admission tickets for this stop are not included, so you will likely pay on arrival or through the local entry process. Build that into your money plan, especially if you also add adventure activities.

Tip: come ready for uneven ground and souvenir stalls. The area can be busy, and paths can be slick. Wear shoes you can trust, and take your time. If you rush, you miss the subtle beauty of the terraces.

Optional adventure choices: ATV, rafting, trekking, tubing

This private tour is built for customization, and the add-ons are for people who want more than scenery. Depending on what you pick, your total day may run closer to the longer end of the time window.

The options listed include:

  • ATV ride
  • white-water rafting
  • jungle trekking
  • tubing

Here’s how to choose based on your energy and comfort level:

  • If you want thrills but minimal physical strain, an ATV ride may fit better than trekking.
  • If you want a guided outdoors experience, rafting or tubing can be exciting, but you should plan for getting wet and wearing the right gear.
  • If you like slower exploration and don’t mind walking, jungle trekking can be the most “in nature” option.

Because the tour does not include entrance tickets for activities and tourist sites, adventure costs may add up quickly. If your goal is best value, consider doing only one add-on and keeping the rest of the day focused on culture plus pool.

If you have never done these activities in Bali before, you will likely be happier with a clear plan: decide early which activity you really want, because switching last minute can be tough once your day is already rolling.

Price and value: what $55 covers, and what you pay extra

At $55 per person, this tour can feel like a bargain, mainly because the pool stop includes entry and a free drink. In many Bali day tours, you pay for transport plus entrance fees on top. Here, the largest single “paid experience” piece is partially handled.

That said, here’s what is not included:

  • entrance tickets for waterfall, temple, and rice terrace
  • lunch
  • cabana and long chair at the pool

On top of that, if you book solo, there is an extra cost of IDR 350,000 paid directly to the driver, and the minimum booking is 2 people. That solo add-on is important for value. If you are traveling as a pair or small group, your per-person cost stays more sensible.

Also, the tour includes bottled water, an air-conditioned vehicle, private transportation, and WiFi on board. Those little comfort items add up when you are doing 8 to 10 hours of moving between sights.

My take: this is good value if you care about the pool experience and want a mix of Ubud culture plus a cool-down period. If you mostly want one or two sights and are not planning to use the included pool time, another option might be cheaper. But if Tlaga Singha is on your list, this package makes sense.

Getting picked up smoothly, and avoiding the start-time hiccup

Pickup is offered, and since the day is long, timing is everything. The one real concern that came up in a previous booking was start-time confusion. Pickup was delayed after an intended early start, with back-and-forth to the hotel before the driver arrived later.

You can reduce the odds of stress with two simple moves:

  • Confirm your pickup time the day before, not just in the booking message
  • Keep your contact phone handy early in the morning and answer unknown numbers if they call

You also get a mobile ticket, which is helpful for check-in. Still, the human part matters most for day tours, and the best results come from clear communication.

Once you are on the road, the rest tends to flow. A private driver means fewer handoffs and fewer group waits, and that’s what lets you actually enjoy each stop.

What to pack for a pool plus temples and terraces day

This day mixes water time with walking and culturally sensitive sites. Pack with that in mind.

Bring:

  • swimwear and a quick-dry towel
  • a small dry bag for phone and essentials
  • comfortable shoes for temple and terrace paths
  • light layers or a cover-up for temple visit rules
  • sunscreen and insect repellent

Since lunch is not included, plan for a meal break. Even if you grab something quick, you will be happier if you eat before you get too hungry. Long car days can make you feel worse than you expect.

Also remember that cabana and long chair at the pool are not included. If you want shade or extra comfort, you might need to arrange it on-site, so bring a backup plan like taking your time finding a spot that works for you.

Should you book this Tlaga Singha and Ubud private highlights day?

I’d book this if you want one organized day that gives you:

  • the included experience of Tlaga Singha pool time with a drink
  • classic Ubud visuals at Tegalalang rice terraces
  • a temple stop that slows you down
  • a waterfall break without eating your whole day

It is especially suited to couples, friends, and small groups who want private pacing and are open to customizing with one adventure add-on if the timing works.

Skip it or swap plans if you hate paying extra entrances, because waterfall, temple, and rice terrace tickets are not included, and lunch is not included either. Also consider choosing a calmer plan if you are worried about early-morning timing, because one prior booking had a start-time mix-up.

If you go in with clear expectations, confirm pickup, and treat the pool as your main reward, this becomes a very solid value day in Bali.
