What to expect
You'll be collected early and driven through Bali's central regions in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The Barong dance kicks off proceedings—a 60-minute performance of masked storytelling and combat. Expect crowds and heat at Ubud's monkey forest; the macaques are accustomed to visitors but stay alert with belongings. The coffee plantation offers hands-on demonstration of roasting and brewing traditional Balinese blends. At Tirta Empul, you'll wade into cool spring pools amid temple courtyards filled with local worshippers. The final stop showcases rice farmers at work, with views stretching across terraced paddies. Most sites involve walking on uneven ground and steps.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included—eat before departing or pack snacks. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun protection. The sarong provided at the temple is required for entry. Modest clothing (covered shoulders and knees) suits all sites. Bring a waterproof bag for the temple pools.
