Swing first, sights after. That’s the deal.

This combo tour strings together a true Bali Swing adventure with big Central Bali viewpoints: Mount Batur and Lake Batur from Kintamani, plus iconic stops in the Ubud area and Tirta Empul. I like that the Bali Swing package is not just one basic swing. It includes a whole mix—single swings, romantic and bed-style rides, plus the playful chicken nest and bird nest setups.

My second favorite thing is how practical the day feels. You get a private car with good A/C, an English-speaking driver, lunch, and entrance fees folded in—so you’re not juggling tickets while you’re trying to enjoy the scenery.

One consideration: the swing experience includes novelty rides (bed and nest-style), and the activity needs moderate physical fitness. It’s also not suitable for children under 7, so plan accordingly if you’re traveling with little ones.

Key Highlights at a Glance

• Bali Swing Pioneer set included: 2 single swings, romantic swing, bed swing, sky bed, chicken nest, and bird nest
• Big views without extra ticket hassles: Kintamani for Mount Batur and Lake Batur viewpoints, with Kintamani admission listed as free
• Classic Central Bali pair: Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tirta Empul Temple with its sacred holy spring
• Private, air-conditioned transport with an English-speaking driver to connect all stops
• Lunch and water included, plus insurance coverage during Bali Swing

Bali Swing Pioneer Set: the main event you’ll feel in your legs

The day starts with the Bali Swing portion, and this package is designed to give you variety instead of repeating the same move over and over. You’ll be doing the Pioneer Active Swing selection that includes multiple swing types: 2 single swings, a romantic swing, a bed swing, a sky bed, plus chicken nest and bird nest swings. That mix matters, because it turns the “swing for photos” idea into a more complete activity.

The setting is also part of the appeal. You’ll be in a forest setting with scenery around you, which makes each swing feel like a different angle of the same place. Expect a fun push into your comfort zone—yes, you’ll want good posture and balance, but it’s still meant to be a recreational experience, not a technical sport.

There are two extras to be aware of upfront. First, you can rent a dress for about USD 25 per person. Second, you can hire a photographer for about IDR/USD 25 per person (the pricing is listed this way, so confirm the exact currency at booking). If you care about having coordinated photos, budget for at least one of these add-ons. If you’d rather keep the day simple, you can skip both and rely on your own camera.

Practical tip: because the swing area is an activity zone, wear comfortable shoes and plan for time to get to the right photo angles. This tour gives you about 4 hours for Bali Swing, which is plenty to do the included swings without feeling rushed—assuming you’re not constantly stopping to “just one more” photo before you move on.

From Seminyak to Kintamani: Mount Batur and Lake Batur viewpoint time

After the swing session, you’ll head to Kintamani Village. The core payoff here is the panorama: you’ll see the active volcano area of Mount Batur and the wide view over Lake Batur from a viewpoint around Kintamani.

This stop is listed for about 2 hours, which feels like a good balance. Long enough to settle your footing, take photos, and actually look beyond the camera screen. Short enough that the day doesn’t stall while you’re still carrying the energy from the swing activity.

Kintamani admission is listed as free, so you’re not paying extra just to enjoy the viewpoint area. What you are paying for is time in the right place, with transport handled. That’s where the tour’s private car helps: you’re not trying to stitch together separate rides from Seminyak.

One more small thing I appreciate: the tour doesn’t treat Kintamani like a quick photo snap and run. Two hours gives you room to enjoy the view in a calmer way—especially useful if you’re taking photos for multiple people or you want a slow moment after the more physical swing portion.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: why this stop stays famous

Next up is Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a famous rice-terrace viewpoint in the Ubud area. This is one of those Bali sites that stays on the must-do list because it delivers what it promises: stepped rice fields and views you can frame in a lot of ways.

Your time here is about 1 hour, and that’s a sweet spot for a photo-and-stroll stop. You can look for farmers working in the fields—sometimes you’ll catch it, which makes the scene feel less staged. Even if you don’t see active farm work at the exact moment you arrive, the terraces still create that layered “from near to far” look that photographs well.

Admission is included for this stop, so you don’t have to worry about buying a ticket before you start walking around. Also, because the tour route is grouped efficiently, you don’t burn time crossing Bali the long way. It’s a full-day plan, but it’s built around these specific points.

My advice here: don’t treat this as just a background photo stop. Take a few minutes to walk at a comfortable pace and pick angles that show the depth of the terraces. With only an hour, you’ll get more out of it if you decide in advance what photos you want: wide view first, then closer texture shots.

Tirta Empul Temple: the holy spring and real visitor focus

Tirta Empul Temple is your last major sightseeing stop, and it’s a different vibe from the swing park and viewpoint areas. This temple is built around a sacred spring at Tampak Siring. The important detail: for more than a thousand years, Balinese worshipers have been drawn to this holy water for self-purification.

The tour gives you about 1 hour here, and that’s appropriate. Tirta Empul isn’t just about scenery. It’s about the spiritual focus of the holy spring and the sense of place around it.

Entrance is included, so you can spend your time inside the temple grounds rather than worrying about tickets. A good way to think about this stop: it’s a cultural contrast. After doing active swings and chasing big views, you’ll end your tour with something slower, more grounded, and centered on tradition.

What to consider: temple visits often have expectations about respectful behavior. This tour includes Tirta Empul admission, but it doesn’t mention any temple dress gear being included. If you’re concerned about what to wear, plan ahead so you’re comfortable and respectful once you’re there.

Lunch and the pacing: how to keep the day enjoyable

Between swing, viewpoints, rice terraces, and a temple visit, your biggest challenge could be pacing, not boredom. This itinerary is designed for momentum: about 4 hours for Bali Swing, 2 hours in Kintamani, then 1 hour each for Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tirta Empul.

Lunch is included as Indonesian food, served at a restaurant during the Kintamani portion. From the feedback, the restaurant name Batur Sari Resto shows up, which is a helpful signal that lunch is part of the plan rather than a last-minute hunt for food.

Also included: mineral water (1 bottle per person). That’s a small detail, but it matters on a hot day with driving between areas.

The private car is a big part of why the pacing works. You’re not dealing with transfers, waiting, or figuring out directions on the fly. The tour covers petrol and parking, too, which removes a lot of the hidden friction that can ruin a good day.

And yes, drivers can make or break the vibe. The tour includes an English-speaking driver, and in the feedback, names like Mr. Stone, Mr. Bobby, Wawan Komang, and Heri come up as guides people appreciated. That points to the kind of service you should expect: safe driving, clear communication, and a friendly tone.

Price and value: why $115 can work if you use the inclusions

At USD 115 per person, this package looks good when you compare it to the cost of doing everything separately. Here’s what you’re getting that usually adds up fast on your own:

• Private car with A/C and an English-speaking driver
• Entrance fees included for Bali Swing, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and Tirta Empul
• Bali Swing Pioneer package with multiple swing types
• Indonesian lunch plus mineral water
• Entrance and support elements like insurance coverage during Bali Swing

The tour also lists group discounts, and it’s described as private in the sense that only your group participates. That’s useful if you want a day that feels customized, even if you still follow a set route.

When is it best value? If you want the combination without extra planning. If you’re the type who would otherwise spend your time researching separate tickets for Bali Swing, then hunting down transport between Kintamani and Ubud-area highlights, this price starts to make sense.

When might it feel less worth it? If you only want one or two stops and you’re already comfortable arranging everything independently. But if you want a full 8–9 hour day that covers the swing experience plus multiple iconic sights, you’re paying for convenience and the included admissions.

Also, this kind of tour often gets booked ahead. The info here suggests it’s commonly booked about 10 days in advance, so if your dates are fixed, don’t wait until the last minute.

Who should book this Bali Swing and Kintamani combo

This is a strong fit if you want a day that mixes fun and scenery. The swing portion is the energy, Kintamani gives you the drama of Mount Batur and Lake Batur views, and Tirta Empul adds a cultural reset.

You’ll likely enjoy it if:

• You’re happy doing an activity first thing and then switching to sightseeing
• You want included admissions rather than building your own ticket list
• You like the idea of a private driver and a smooth route from Seminyak
• You’re okay with moderate physical demands for the included swings

You should be careful if:

• You’re traveling with kids under 7, since it’s listed as not suitable
• You have limited ability to handle the swing activity’s physical element, since moderate fitness is mentioned

If you’re traveling as a couple, the romantic swing option is naturally interesting. If you’re traveling with friends, the variety of swing types gives different people different favorite moments, even if you all like taking photos.

Should you book this tour?

Book it if you want one day in Bali that checks major boxes: Bali Swing with a full multi-swing package, Kintamani viewpoint time, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and Tirta Empul—all tied together with private, air-conditioned transport and included admissions.

Skip it or think twice if you prefer low-effort sightseeing only, or if your group doesn’t want to spend time on a structured activity. Also, if you know you won’t do the swing portion comfortably, you’d be better off choosing a pure viewpoint-and-temple day.

If you’re open to mixing adrenaline with classic Central Bali sights, this is a very workable 8–9 hour plan.
