About this tour
This nine-hour private tour covers Ubud's essential stops without the group-tour shuffle. Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel and takes you through craftspeople in Celuk Village, the powerful cascade of Tegenungan Waterfall, the sacred spring pools at Tirta Empul Temple, the UNESCO-listed rice paddies of Tegalalang, and the macaques of Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. The day finishes in Ubud's town centre, where you can browse the traditional market and palace grounds. Hotel pickups available across southern Bali.

What to expect
You'll start early with hotel pickup, then spend the morning driving through villages and natural landmarks. Tegenungan Waterfall and Tirta Empul Temple involve some walking on uneven ground; bring sturdy shoes. The rice terrace offers broad views but can be muddy after rain. Sacred Monkey Forest is compact but crowded—keep bags zipped and don't feed the animals. Ubud's market and palace are walkable and atmospheric, though the market gets busy by mid-afternoon. Expect downtime between sites for photos and a leisurely pace throughout. Lunch isn't included; your guide can suggest local spots.
Good to know
Wear the provided sarong at temples. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and water shoes if you plan to wade at Tirta Empul. The swing experience costs extra. Pickups cover a wide area of southern Bali; confirm your hotel location. Tours suit all fitness levels, though some walking is unavoidable.
