If you want water time and photo time, do this. This all inclusive-style private outing strings together Blue Lagoon snorkeling with a jungle swing moment, plus scenic stops that depend on where you’re staying in Bali.

I like that the snorkeling setup is simple and taken care of: you get a snorkeling instructor, use of snorkeling gear, a boat, and admission included. The swing part is just as straightforward, with a dedicated hour at My Swing Bali so you can ride, shoot photos, and not feel rushed. The only real catch is that the lunch is included, but it may not be a highlight for everyone, so think of it as fuel, not a foodie event.

You’ll also be on private transportation with pickup from many areas, which means less guesswork and fewer uncomfortable transfers. Just note you should have moderate physical fitness, since you’ll be moving between stops and spending time in and around the water.

Quick Take: What Matters Most Here

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - Quick Take: What Matters Most Here

  • Two-part Blue Lagoon snorkeling with an instructor means you’re not doing this alone in the water.
  • A private boat for snorkeling is a major comfort upgrade for a full day.
  • One full hour at My Swing Bali gives you time for photos without sprinting.
  • Tegalalang Rice Terrace adds a slower, scenic walk to balance the action.
  • Pickup from multiple Bali areas reduces the stress of “how do we get there?”
  • Included shower and changing room helps after wet snorkeling time.

Entering The Day: Pickup, Timing, and How Private Works

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - Entering The Day: Pickup, Timing, and How Private Works
This tour is designed like a “ready-to-go” Bali day. You’re picked up from Seminyak, Canggu, Nusa Dua, Ubud, Kuta, Jimbaran, and Sanur, and you’ll check your e-ticket when you’re picked up in your area. From there, an air-conditioned vehicle handles the driving, parking, and logistics, and you spend the day on your own schedule inside the tour plan.

“Private tour” here matters. Only your group participates, so you’re not stuck waiting on a dozen strangers. If your group is more than 7 people, you’ll get a second car, which helps keep things moving without turning your day into a slow caravan.

The total duration is listed as about 10 hours. That’s a long day, but it’s also realistic for Bali when you have water time, a swing, and inland scenery. The best way to enjoy it is to treat each stop like a mini-break, not a checklist you’re racing to finish.

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling: Clear Water, Gear, and a Boat Setup

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - Blue Lagoon Snorkeling: Clear Water, Gear, and a Boat Setup
Blue Lagoon is the main event, and this is the part where the tour earns its trust. You’ll snorkel at 2 spots at Blue Lagoon, for about 2 hours total snorkeling time. You also get:

  • Snorkeling instructor
  • Snorkeling boat
  • Admission tickets
  • Snorkeling equipment use
  • Towel
  • A shower and changing area after

That combination is what keeps the day smooth. If you’ve never snorkeled before, the instructor makes a big difference, especially with fit, comfort, and safety in the water. If you’re a confident swimmer, you still benefit from having the setup handled, rather than figuring out the gear logistics while everyone else waits.

One more practical point: the included boat matters because it helps you get out to where the snorkeling experience is best. It’s also more comfortable than doing everything from shore, particularly when you’re trying to keep your timing for photos and changing under control.

What to expect in the water

You’re there to see sea life and enjoy that classic clear-water feeling. One piece of feedback stands out as a real plus: fish can come close enough that it feels special, not like you’re looking through distance and hoping something shows up.

Possible consideration

Snorkeling quality can shift based on conditions, and even when the water is clear, marine life sightings are never guaranteed. If you came for a “once-in-a-lifetime reef adventure,” you might find it more like a very enjoyable, well-managed snorkeling session rather than a perfect nature documentary every minute.

My Swing Bali: The Jungle Swing Hour That’s Built for Photos

After the water, you get a change of pace at My Swing Bali. Your time here is about 1 hour, which is long enough to:

  • Ride the swing
  • Get your photos
  • Take a breather between rides or waiting turns

The concept is simple and effective: a swing set over a dense jungle of palm trees gives you that “you’re flying above the greenery” feeling that people come to Bali for in the first place. It’s not just a ride, it’s a photo stop where the whole spot is built for images.

Wear and bring wisely

You’ll likely still feel a little “post-water” from snorkeling. This is where it helps that the tour includes towel and shower/changing room earlier, so you can reset before heading to the swing. Bring your swimsuit ready under your clothes, or have a plan to dry off and feel comfortable for the ride.

If you’re nervous about heights, take it slowly. You can also use this hour to take your time with photos and not treat the swing like a one-and-done stunt.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: Scenic Walk Time With a Cultural Rhythm

Next up is Tegalalang Rice Terrace, where you’ll get about 1 hour to explore green paddies and walk in the famous rice-field area. The standout here is that it’s visual, not technical. You’re not learning farming tools or doing labor, you’re moving at a gentle pace through the valley’s scenery.

This stop balances the day. Snorkeling is active and water-based. The swing is adrenaline plus photos. Tegalalang slows things down so you’re not constantly in “do mode.”

Why this works

A rice terrace stop can feel generic if it’s rushed. Here, that hour gives you enough time to enjoy viewpoints and take in how farmers work the land day to day, at least from a visitor’s perspective. If you’re pairing Bali’s nature with a few cultural sights, this is the kind of stop that keeps the day from feeling like only themed attractions.

The Route Extras: Markets, Views, and Sculptures Based on Pickup Area

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - The Route Extras: Markets, Views, and Sculptures Based on Pickup Area
This tour has flexible side stops, and that flexibility is actually useful. Your route can include different quick cultural or scenic stops depending on where you’re picked up. Instead of forcing everyone through the same list, the day adjusts.

Here are the kinds of stops listed, and where they may fit:

  • A traditional morning fish market stop, noted especially for the Jimbaran area.
  • A morning view of beaches of Nusa Dua plus mangrove forest via the Bali Mandara toll road, noted for Nusa Dua area accommodation.
  • Dewa Ruci sculpture and the Titi Banda Statue, noted for Kuta and Seminyak area accommodation.
  • Multiple views of Sanur and Gianyar during the morning trip, with notes tied to Sanur and nearby pickup zones.
  • Another traditional morning market stop, noted for Ubud area accommodation.

A few statues and viewpoints can feel like “fillers” on some tours. But in Bali, the morning drive itself is part of the experience, and these stops give you photo angles you might not find if you’re just hopping between the biggest names.

How to use this wisely

If you love scenery and short cultural glimpses, these extras are a bonus. If you’re tired from the water and swing, treat them like quick breaks, not the center of the day.

Lunch and Comfort: What’s Included So You Don’t Spend the Day Hunting

You’ll get a traditional lunch included along the way, plus an air-conditioned vehicle, fuel surcharge, and parking fees covered. There are also towel and a shower and changing room, which is a rare but genuinely helpful combo after snorkeling.

Here’s the honest part: one feedback theme is that the included lunch can be bland or just average. I’d plan for it as a practical meal to keep you energized, not as a reason you book the tour.

What helps the overall comfort is that the day includes a lot of the “stuff” that otherwise adds friction:

  • Tickets handled
  • Snorkeling gear provided
  • Instructor present for the water portion
  • Private transport
  • Simple day pacing between stops

If you’re the type who gets hangry, you might still want a small snack in your day bag, just in case your appetite doesn’t match the lunch style.

Price and Value: Is This $101 Per Person Good?

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - Price and Value: Is This $101 Per Person Good?
At $101 per person for an approximately 10-hour private tour, the value comes from how the costs are packed together. You’re not just paying for a driver. You’re paying for:

  • Pickup from multiple Bali areas
  • Private transportation
  • Snorkeling at 2 spots with tickets included
  • Snorkeling boat
  • Snorkeling instructor
  • Snorkeling equipment use
  • Jungle swing entry
  • Tegalalang rice terrace stop time
  • Traditional lunch
  • Towel and shower/changing facilities

For Bali, paid admissions and water activities add up fast. When those are bundled, the price starts to make sense for most people, especially if you’re comparing it to doing the water portion separately and then piecing the rest together.

The main value question is this: you’re paying for a structured day with logistics handled. If your priority is pure independence, you might find separate bookings cheaper. If your priority is not dealing with planning, this price feels more reasonable.

Who Should Book This (and Who Might Prefer Something Else)

Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Jungle Swing - Ubud - All Inclusive - Who Should Book This (and Who Might Prefer Something Else)
This tour fits best if you want a balanced Bali day that includes both water fun and a signature photo stop. It’s a strong match for:

  • Couples who want a shared “big day” without group chaos
  • Families or groups that like having pickup and tickets handled
  • People who want snorkeling support without spending the day arranging gear or a guide
  • Photo-focused visitors who want a full swing hour, not a rushed stop

It may not be ideal if:

  • You’re extremely sensitive to long days and travel time (10 hours is a commitment)
  • You’re expecting the lunch to be a top-tier meal experience
  • You have no interest in either snorkeling or swings, since those are the two big anchors of the day

The provided guidance says you should have moderate physical fitness, which I interpret as: you’ll be active enough for walking and getting in and out of water settings comfortably.

Booking Comfort Tips: What to Bring and How to Prepare

The tour gives you key gear and facilities, but you’ll still want your own essentials:

  • Sun cream
  • Hat
  • Swimsuit
  • Towels (even though towel is included, having a backup towel can help)
  • Camera

Also, follow the on-the-day safety expectations: the guide wears personal protective equipment (masks), and participants are required to observe social distancing. Cars are cleaned and sanitized frequently.

Small practical advice: apply sunscreen before you hit the water. Then reapply after you’re out, before the swing and terrace time, so you’re protected during the more “standing around for photos” parts.

Should You Book Blue Lagoon Snorkeling – Jungle Swing – Ubud – All Inclusive?

I’d book this if you want a clean, logistics-friendly Bali day where snorkeling is supported and you still get the classic jungle swing moment. The biggest strengths are the snorkeling instructor + boat setup and the fact that you’re not juggling tickets or transportation yourself.

I’d hesitate only if your idea of a perfect day means the lunch must be amazing, or if you’re the type who gets worn out by a full 10-hour itinerary. In that case, you might prefer a shorter snorkeling-focused tour or a less packed route.

If you want a “one-stop Bali sampler” that balances water, photos, and scenery, this one is a solid bet.
