Tlaga Singha Ubud Infinity Pool + Ubud Private Highlights.
The clever part of this Ubud day is the two-hour Tlaga Singha pool stop, saved as the grand finish rather than treated as a quick photo stop. You get rice terraces, a temple, and a waterfall first, then time to swim above the jungle with one drink included.
I like the private format, since your group can shape the pace and decide how much time to spend at each stop. I also like the useful extras: air-conditioning, bottled water, WiFi, and private transport. The main caution is that lunch, most entrance fees, cabanas, and optional adventure activities cost extra.

Key points to know before booking
- Tlaga Singha includes pool access and one drink: You receive two hours at the jungle infinity pool, but cabanas and long chairs are not included.
- The day covers four very different Bali sights: Tegenungan Waterfall, Batuan Temple, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and the pool give you nature, culture, scenery, and downtime.
- Private transport keeps the day flexible: Only your group participates, with an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and WiFi on board.
- Adventure activities are optional add-ons: ATV riding, rafting, jungle trekking, and tubing are mentioned as choices, but their prices and exact timing are not provided.
- Plan for extra costs: Lunch and entrance tickets for tourist sites are not included, and solo bookings carry an additional IDR 350,000 payment to the driver.
- Confirm the pickup time carefully: One booking suffered a serious start-time mix-up, with a planned 5 a.m. pickup becoming a 6:30 a.m. arrival.
What this private Ubud day is really designed to do
This is a sightseeing day with a soft landing. You move through several well-known Ubud-area attractions, but the schedule ends with a pool that gives you time to stop, sit, and cool off.
That balance matters in Bali. A full day of temples, steps, viewpoints, and traffic can become tiring. Tlaga Singha gives the outing a clear change of mood. Instead of finishing at the last crowded viewpoint, you finish with a swim, a drink, and jungle views.
The tour lasts about eight to ten hours, depending on traffic, pickup location, stop lengths, and any optional activity you add. Because it is private, you do not have to follow a fixed group rhythm. You can ask the driver to keep moving if a stop feels too busy, or linger longer where you are enjoying yourself.
The driver is described as a friendly local driver rather than a dedicated specialist guide. That is useful to understand before booking. You get private transport and local assistance, but the experience may be more about getting smoothly between sights than receiving long historical talks at each one.

Tlaga Singha: two hours at a jungle infinity pool
Tlaga Singha is the tour’s main draw. The setting combines a swimming pool with tropical views, sunken seating, and a polished resort-style feel. The infinity edge is made for looking out over the jungle while you cool down.
Your admission and pool access are included, as is one free drink. That makes this more than a viewpoint photo stop. You have a full two hours, enough time to swim, sit, take photos, and enjoy a slower part of the day.
There are a few important limits. Cabanas and long chairs are not included, so do not assume that the $55 price covers every premium seating option. The information does not specify the cost of those extras, so ask before arrival if reserved seating matters to you.
The pool is also a polished tourist attraction, not a quiet wild swimming hole. If your ideal Bali day means local villages and little-known paths from morning to night, this stop may feel commercial. If you want one comfortable, photogenic break built into a busy sightseeing day, it is a strong fit.
The order shown places Tlaga Singha first, followed by the other sights. That can be a good start if you want to reach the pool while you still have energy, but it means the day may not finish with the swim. Since the tour is private, confirm the preferred order with the provider if the pool works better for you at the end.
Tegenungan Waterfall: an easy nature stop
Tegenungan Waterfall is scheduled for about 45 minutes. It is one of the more accessible waterfalls near Ubud, with a lush setting and a broad cascade that gives you an immediate sense of Bali’s tropical scenery.
Forty-five minutes is enough for a look, photos, and time near the water, but it is not an extended waterfall outing. You should treat this as a focused stop rather than a long walk through the forest.
Entrance is not included. Bring money for the site ticket, since the tour price covers private transportation but not tourist-site admissions.
The waterfall can also be a busy stop. The short visit helps keep the day moving, but it leaves little room if you want a long swim or a slow exploration. Ask the driver about the best timing, especially if you want a calmer visit.
Batuan Temple and Bali’s visual language
Batuan Temple receives about 45 minutes. It is known for detailed Balinese architecture, stone carvings, and a peaceful religious setting. This is the cultural stop on a day otherwise weighted toward scenery and leisure.
A temple visit is more rewarding when you see it as a living place of worship, not only as a backdrop for photos. Dress and behave respectfully, and follow any instructions given at the entrance. The supplied details do not specify clothing rental or entrance arrangements, so check what is required before you arrive.
Admission is not included. As with Tegenungan Waterfall and Tegalalang Rice Terrace, you should budget separately for the ticket.
The short time here is enough to appreciate the design and atmosphere, but it is unlikely to satisfy someone seeking a long religious or architectural tour. Since the driver is not presented as a specialist historian, you may want to read a little about Balinese temple layout before the day if cultural context is important to you.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace and the famous green views
Tegalalang Rice Terrace gets about one hour. Its stepped rice fields are cut into the hillsides, creating one of the most recognizable views around Ubud.
This is the stop for broad green scenery and photographs. You can take in the layered fields, walk around the viewing areas, and enjoy a clear contrast with the stonework at Batuan Temple.
Again, entrance is not included. The information does not say which specific access point you will use or whether additional activities are available at the terrace, so ask the driver what the stop includes. Some places around popular rice terraces have extra charges for paths, swings, or photo areas. Do not assume those are covered.
One hour gives you a useful introduction, though it is a brisk visit. If you want a long walk among the terraces, this schedule may feel short. The private setup gives you a chance to request more time, but extending one stop may reduce time elsewhere.
Optional ATV, rafting, trekking, and tubing
The tour can be customized with adventure choices, including an ATV ride, white-water rafting, jungle trekking, or tubing. These options are aimed at people who want more action than a standard sightseeing route provides.
The important point is that these activities are not included in the stated price. The supplied information does not give their individual costs, duration, safety requirements, or exact location. Ask for the full price and schedule before adding one.
Adding an activity may also change the balance of the day. An eight-hour outing with four sightseeing stops is already full. A long rafting or ATV session could mean less time at the temple, waterfall, terrace, or pool.
I would choose an adventure add-on only if that activity is your main priority. If Tlaga Singha is the reason you booked, protect the two-hour pool visit and confirm that the schedule still allows it.
What the $55 price includes, and what it does not
At $55 per person, the value depends heavily on your group size and what you want from the day. For two people, you receive a private vehicle, a local driver, air-conditioning, WiFi, bottled water, pool entry, and one drink each. That is a reasonable package for a long private day, especially if you value not sharing the vehicle.
The price does not include lunch or entrance tickets for the waterfall, temple, and rice terrace. Cabanas and long chairs at Tlaga Singha are also extra. Optional activities cost more as well.
This means the advertised price is a starting point, not the full daily budget. You should set aside money for meals, site admissions, and any premium pool seating. The tour becomes better value when two or more people share the private transportation.
There is a minimum booking of two people. If you book alone, an additional IDR 350,000 is paid directly to the driver. That surcharge changes the value calculation, so solo visitors should compare the total with other private-day options.
Timing, transport, and the one detail to confirm
Pickup is offered, and the vehicle is air-conditioned. For a long day in Bali, that is not a minor perk. You will appreciate having a private place to cool down between stops, especially after walking near the waterfall or rice terraces.
WiFi on board and bottled water are included. Lunch is not, so ask the driver when and where the meal break can happen. The tour summary allows eight to ten hours, but the four listed stops account for only four and a half hours, leaving the rest for driving, meals, pickup, traffic, and any optional activity.
Be very clear about the pickup time. One booking had a scheduled 5 a.m. start, no vehicle appeared at the expected time, and the hotel was told the start had changed to 8 a.m. The driver eventually arrived at 6:30 a.m. The problem was communication, not the whole day, but it could be stressful and costly if you have a fixed evening plan.
I recommend confirming the pickup time in writing the day before, then checking that the hotel and driver have the same information. Do not assume that a change sent by email has been received.
Who will get the most from this tour
This private day suits you if you want several Bali classics without arranging separate drivers, tickets, and transfers. It works especially well for couples, families, or small groups who want a private vehicle and a flexible pace.
It is also a good choice if you want a mix of culture and comfort. Batuan Temple provides a spiritual and architectural stop, Tegalalang supplies the famous rice-field views, Tegenungan adds a waterfall, and Tlaga Singha gives you time to relax.
You may want another type of outing if you prefer a slow cultural tour with detailed commentary. The schedule is broad rather than deep. You may also be disappointed if you expect every admission, meal, and pool seating option to be covered.
Adventure fans should ask for exact details before booking an ATV ride, rafting trip, trek, or tubing session. The choices are advertised, but the supplied information does not spell out their costs or operating arrangements.
Booking, weather, and cancellation basics
Confirmation is provided at booking. The tour is private, and only your group participates. Most people can take part, and the experience is listed as being near public transportation.
Free cancellation is available until 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. The activity also depends on good weather. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you can receive another date or a full refund.
A minimum number of participants is required. If the provider cancels because that minimum is not met, you can choose another date or experience, or receive a full refund.
Should you book the Tlaga Singha and Ubud private highlights day?
Book it if you want an efficient private day that combines Bali scenery with a polished pool stop. The strongest reasons are the included Tlaga Singha access, private air-conditioned transport, flexible pacing, and the range of sights covered in one outing.
Before paying, confirm the pickup time, ask about the total cost of site tickets, and get prices for any adventure activity or pool seating. If you are traveling alone, include the IDR 350,000 surcharge in your calculation.
I would choose this for a first Ubud visit when you want a broad sample of the area without giving up time to relax. I would skip it if your priority is a quiet, highly detailed cultural tour or a full-day adventure. At $55 per person, it offers solid value for a private sightseeing day, but you need to budget for the extras.
