What to expect
You'll spend the first half of the day in Ubud's lush river valleys and forest zones. Tegenungan offers a refreshing dip in natural pools surrounded by jungle; bring a towel. The Monkey Forest is dense and unmanicured—paths wind through tall trees and stone carvings whilst macaques roam freely, so keep bags zipped and don't make direct eye contact. Ubud Market is crowded, loud, and built for haggling; prices drop the longer you stay. The palace is quieter, a chance to catch your breath. The drive west takes ninety minutes, arriving at Tanah Lot as light fades. The temple sits dramatically on a rock outcrop; crowds gather on the black sand beach below.
Good to know
Wear trainers for forest trails and bring a change of clothes if swimming. Leave lunch to your own pace in Ubud—guides won't push restaurants. Sun protection is essential. Children under three travel free; prams work on Ubud's main paths but not forest trails. Not suitable if you tire easily on walking days.
