Blue Lagoon Snorkeling Kanto Lampo Tegenungan Waterfalls Private Tour from Ubud
Select participants and date
You step off the air-conditioned van at a small pier in Padangbai and the air smells like salt and diesel; the sea ahead is a bright, tropical green that seems to move with purpose. A traditional jukung — a slim wooden boat — rocks gently while the engine warms. Your guide fits you with a life jacket, the snorkel mouthpiece cool against your teeth, and explains the route: two reef spots at Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun, then inland to Kanto Lampo and Tegenungan waterfalls for a change of pace.

Adventure Tips
Book morning departures
Morning snorkel sessions offer the best visibility and smaller crowds at the reefs and waterfalls.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect corals — and reapply in the shade between boat and shore activities.
Wear water shoes
The waterfall approaches and reef entry points are rocky and slippery; sturdy water shoes improve traction.
Carry small local currency
Bring cash for temple offerings, tips, and small warung purchases near the falls.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Clownfish, parrotfish and reef wrasse around Blue Lagoon
- Kingfish and monitor lizards occasionally spotted near riverbanks and falls
History
Padangbai grew as a fishing and port village; inland rivers like those feeding Tegenungan supported rice farming and small temple communities tied to Balinese Hindu rituals.
Conservation
Guides encourage reef-friendly behavior and the operator often supports local waste-reduction efforts; use biodegradable products and avoid touching coral to reduce impact.
