About this tour
This six to seven-hour evening circuit through Ubud catches the village at its most atmospheric. You'll start at Tegalalang's rice terraces during golden hour, move through the Monkey Forest's temple-dotted jungle, pay respects at the royal palace, then settle in for a traditional Legong Dance performance. Dinner follows, giving you time to digest both the meal and the evening's layered impressions. A driver handles navigation while you travel in air-conditioned comfort, with all entry fees and a set Indonesian meal included.

What to expect
The tour moves at an easy pace, designed to absorb rather than rush. You'll start outdoors watching light change across the rice paddies, then shift indoors to the forest's shaded paths where monkeys move freely—stay alert but they're accustomed to visitors. The palace visit is brief and respectful. The dance performance is the centrepiece: thirty to forty minutes of intricate hand movements and facial expressions that reward close attention. Dinner happens afterward, so you'll eat with the evening still fresh. Expect a mix of walking (moderate, on level ground) and sitting.
Good to know
Wear smart casual clothing; the palace and dance venue have dress codes. Bring sunscreen for the terraces and a camera for golden hour. The tour suits most fitness levels but involves standing and walking. Vegetarian meals are available with advance notice. Infants under two travel free. Times are flexible—discuss your preferred start with the operator.
