15 North Bali Tours Worth Booking Ahead

1.Full-Day Private North Bali Tour with Free WiFi

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · from $9Our pick

Spend about 10 hours exploring North Bali in a private, air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver, hotel pickup and onboard Wi-Fi. Stops include Tanah Lot, Jatiluwih, Ulun Danu Bratan, Handara Gate, Wanagiri Hills and Banyumala Twin Waterfalls. Your driver can help with photos and local advice. Check whether your booking includes entrance fees.

“Went to Tanah Lot, the water temple Ulun-Danu, the green land of Jatiluwih and beautiful waterfalls (we even swam there). Komang, our guide, suggested several other places to stop by and they were amazing too. Great value for an air conditioned car, safe English speaking driver. It's also convenient that all entrance fees, parking fees and any other fees are already included, so no headaches (I bet if I go alone as a tourist in every place, they will charge me much more :) Advice : You can stop at the local market near Ulun Danu to try local snacks and fresh fruits. Thank you Komang for a great day!”
