What to expect
You'll spend the first hour travelling from Benoa to Ubud's quieter valleys. Once there, expect short walks (15–30 minutes) between stops—nothing strenuous, but you'll be on your feet exploring rice terraces and temple grounds. The driver tailors stops to your interests; if you want longer at one spot, you can. Waterfalls are refreshingly cool; bring swimmers if you fancy a dip. Midway through, there's time for a casual meal (your shout). The landscape is genuinely green and unhurried, with far fewer tour groups than central Ubud.
Good to know
Wear trainers with grip for muddy paths around paddies and waterfalls. Bring sunscreen and a light layer—it's tropical but shaded in places. The drive is scenic but winding; take travel sickness medication if needed. Pick-up timing is coordinated with your ship's schedule.
