Blue Lagoon Snorkeling – Jungle Swing – Ubud – All Inclusive
Sun, sea, and a jungle swing in one Bali day. This trip strings together Blue Lagoon snorkeling and My Swing Bali so you get water time and big photo moments without planning a thing.
I also like how you’re looked after with the basics handled: pickup by air-conditioned vehicle, an on-site snorkeling setup (including an instructor and equipment), and an included lunch that keeps the day moving.
One drawback to keep in mind: the lunch is part of the package, but it may not feel special if you’re picky. Also, the day asks for moderate physical fitness since you’ll be in and out of water and doing the swing.

The Big Picture: What This All-Inclusive Bali Day Feels Like

This is a classic Bali mix: clear water for snorkeling, a thrill swing for photos, and scenic walking on land. The smart part is the sequencing. You start with the ocean (so you’re not delaying the best setting), then you head inland for the swing and viewpoints.
The “all inclusive” angle matters because you’re not hopping between five separate tickets and meeting points. You get private transportation and included items like snorkeling gear, towels, and lunch. It’s the kind of day that works best when you’d rather spend your time enjoying than solving logistics.
You’re also in control of your pace. It’s not one of those tours where everything feels rushed every second. The stops are structured, but you’re not stuck following a super strict line through each location.

Pickup Coverage and Route Reality Around Kuta
Your day starts with pickup from several areas, including Seminyak, Canggu, Nusa Dua, Ubud, Kuta, Jimbaran, and Sanur. That’s a big deal on Bali, because drive times can eat your day fast if you’re doing it alone.
The tour runs for about 10 hours, so the travel legs are built in. Expect a morning start, then a long stretch of movement between sites. If you’re staying farther from the starting area, plan to treat the day like an excursion, not a quick hop.
One more practical detail: for larger groups (more than 7 people), they’ll provide a second car. That’s helpful because you’re less likely to feel like you’re piled into a single van for hours.
And yes, masks are part of the plan. The guide wears protective equipment, and participants are required to wear masks, along with observing social distancing during the experience. On a hot outdoor island day, that’s not everyone’s favorite—but it’s clearly part of how the day is run.
Blue Lagoon Snorkeling: Clear Water, Instructor Support, and a Boat Setup

Blue Lagoon is the headline here, and it’s set up to be approachable. The water is described as crystal clear and safe, and you’ll have an experienced snorkeling instructor with you. That combination is the difference between snorkeling as a random activity versus snorkeling as something you can actually enjoy.
You’ll snorkel at two spots with a total of about two hours in the water. You also get a snorkeling boat and snorkeling equipment, plus towel and use of a shower/changing room afterward. That last bit is underrated. Getting cleaned up makes it much easier to keep enjoying the rest of the day instead of feeling sticky and rushed.
What I’d pay attention to: this is a real water day, so your comfort depends on basic readiness. If you bring sun protection and you’re good at putting on gear without fighting it, the snorkeling portion will feel smooth. If you show up with zero planning for sun and water, the day can start feeling longer than it needs to be.
Also, snorkeling conditions matter. The tour specifies it requires good weather. If weather is poor, you’ll be offered a different date or a refund, so don’t book this as your only island plan with zero backup.

What to Expect in the Water: Fish, Feeling Safe, and Not Feeling Lost

The snorkeling experience is built around having instruction and equipment ready. With the instructor accompanying you, you should feel more confident about simple safety checks and how to move in the water.
A key “this is why it’s worth it” detail: the snorkeling boat setup means you’re not just treading from shore the whole time. That can make the experience feel more natural and less like you’re fighting waves or walking in with gear on.
You’ll also want to remember that snorkeling is never perfect. Water visibility can shift, and time in the ocean is finite. But when the day includes clear water, equipment, and an instructor, you’re stacking the odds in your favor.
My Swing Bali Jungle Swing: The Photo Moment You’ll Actually Want

Then comes the swing—My Swing Bali—which is timed for about one hour. This is the stop that turns sightseeing into a memory you’ll share.
You ride a swing over a dense jungle of palm trees. That “above the greenery” perspective is why people take so many photos here. If you like scenic shots and don’t mind being harnessed to get the angle, this will be a highlight.
Practical note: the swing is part of the day’s activity list, and the tour asks for moderate physical fitness. That doesn’t mean it’s extreme, but it does mean you should be comfortable with standing, getting in position, and spending some time outdoors in the sun and humidity.
If you’re traveling with someone who wants photos but is nervous about heights, it may still be worth considering—just don’t pretend it’s just a casual stroll. You’re committing to a ride over the jungle.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace: A Scenic Walk That’s Better When You Slow Down

After the swing, you head to Tegalalang Rice Terrace for about one hour. This is classic Bali scenery: green rice paddies, a valley feel, and the chance to walk through one of the island’s most photographed landscapes.
What makes this stop worthwhile is pacing. One hour is enough to stroll, take photos, and notice the details without turning it into a long hike. You’ll also get a sense of daily farming life in the region, since you’re there to see how farmers go about their activities in the Tegalalang valley.
Things to watch: it can get hot and bright. If you’ve been in the sun already for snorkeling, you’ll appreciate that the day includes towel time and shower/changing room earlier—but you’ll still want sunscreen and a hat for the terrace.
If you’re not into rice terraces, at least treat this as your scenery reset. It breaks up the day’s “water + thrill ride” and gives you calmer visual energy.
The Non-Water Stops: Markets, Sea-View Toll Roads, and Story Statues

The itinerary includes several extra stops that depend on where you’re picked up. That’s why the day can feel like it’s custom-tailored to your neighborhood, even though it’s one main tour.
Here’s what you might see:
- A traditional morning fish market, which is paired with different pickup areas (notably noted for Jimbaran area accommodations and also tied to other zones in the route notes).
- A morning drive with a view of Nusa Dua’s beaches and a mangrove forest while traveling on the Bali Mandara toll road over the ocean (noted for Nusa Dua area accommodations).
- Dewa Ruci sculpture, made by Balinese sculptor I Wayan Winten (noted for Kuta and Seminyak area accommodations).
- Titi Banda Statue, which tells stories from the Ramayana, specifically Rama building the bridge in the sea with help from monkey troops that picked up Sita (also tied to the route notes for those areas).
You may also stop for views around Sanur and Gianyar during the morning trip, plus another traditional morning market stop depending on your area.
These stops won’t replace the big ticket experiences, but they add texture. Bali isn’t only about beaches and photo spots. This tour gives you a taste of how the island frames culture: through markets, daily life, and public art tied to old stories.
The only consideration here is time. Since these extra stops are linked to pickup location, your day may feel a bit different than someone else’s. The trade-off is you’re less likely to feel like you’re stuck in a one-size-fits-all script.
Lunch and the All-Inclusive Value at $101
The price is $101 per person, and for that you’re getting a real bundle: pickup and private transportation, tickets, snorkeling at multiple spots, snorkeling boat, instructor, snorkeling equipment, traditional lunch, towels, and use of shower/changing room.
That’s where the value comes from. If you were to DIY this day, you’d likely pay for separate transport arrangements, multiple tickets, and equipment rental. Here, those costs are bundled and handled by the provider, so your money goes toward time-saving rather than paperwork.
Now the honest part: one experience note is that the included lunch can feel basic. Since you’re out for about 10 hours, you’ll want a lunch that actually keeps you energized. If you’re the kind of person who needs flavorful food to feel satisfied, you might want to think about how you handle “set meal” situations in general.
Still, lunch included is a practical win. It reduces the chance you lose time hunting for food mid-drive.
What You Should Bring (So the Day Doesn’t Drag)
The tour gives you snorkeling equipment and a towel, but it doesn’t cover your personal comfort items. Bring:
- Sun cream and a hat (you’ll be in sun for snorkeling and the terrace)
- Swimsuit (for a smooth water transition)
- Your camera (the swing and terrace are the money shots)
- Any personal towels you prefer for extra dryness, even though towels are provided
Also, because masks are required for participants and social distancing is expected, bring a mask you’re comfortable wearing in heat.
Finally, come with a mindset that this is an active day. Moderate fitness is the stated requirement, and you’ll be switching between water time, outdoor walking, and a swing ride.
Who This Tour Fits Best
This one fits best if you want:
- A structured day that combines water and scenic stops
- Easy pickup and transport from major Bali areas
- Snorkeling support with an instructor, especially if you’re not a confident independent swimmer
It’s also a good match if you like varied photos: fish and clear water, a jungle swing shot, and classic green-paddy scenery in one day.
It may be less ideal if you only want one type of activity (just beach, just temples, just food) because this day deliberately mixes several experiences. You’ll also want to have patience for a schedule that’s busy and outdoors-heavy.
Should You Book This Blue Lagoon Snorkeling + Jungle Swing Day?
Book it if you want a high-efficiency Bali highlight loop: snorkeling with instructor support, a jungle swing photo moment, and Tegalalang rice terrace scenery—plus lunch and pickup handled for you. At $101, the included transport and gear are the real value.
Skip it or rethink it if lunch quality is a dealbreaker for you or if you strongly prefer a slower day with fewer moving parts. Also consider the weather factor: the tour needs good conditions, so have some flexibility.
If your goal is one memorable day that covers multiple “must-see” categories without extra planning, this is the kind of tour that makes sense.
