About this tour
A full-day private car tour through Ubud's most visited landmarks, kicking off with hotel pickup and featuring waterfalls, rice terraces, temples, and markets. Your own driver navigates you through nine to ten hours of Bali's cultural heartland, hitting Tegenungan's cascading waters, the sculptured paddies of Tegalalang, the carved mysteries of Goa Gajah, the macaque-filled forest sanctuary, the royal palace, and Ubud's chaotic handicraft bazaar. Lunch is included at a local spot, and the pace flexes to suit your interests.
Highlights
- Tegenungan Waterfall – jungle-set cascade and swimming spot
- Tegalalang Rice Terrace – emerald hillside paddies perfect for photos
- Goa Gajah Temple – 11th-century carvings and archaeological intrigue
- Sacred Monkey Forest – dense canopy walk with grey macaques
- Ubud Palace – royal residence and cultural seat
- Ubud Traditional Market – haggle for crafts and souvenirs
What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver who doubles as guide. The day flows through Ubud's signature sights: expect to swim or wade at the waterfall, climb through tiered rice paddies, explore temple courtyards and their stone carvings, walk monkey-filled jungle paths (keep loose items secure), and navigate the shouting, colourful market stalls where hawkers sell textiles and wooden masks. Lunch is a set Indonesian meal eaten with other diners. Timing is yours to dictate—linger longer where it grabs you.
Good to know
Wear smart casual and bring sunscreen; the forest and paddies offer little shade. Not suitable if you have heart or respiratory concerns. Vegetarian meals can be arranged in advance. Infants under two travel free. All entrance fees, petrol, and parking are covered; tip your driver if the service merits it.
