About this tour
A 10-hour private loop through central Bali's creative heart and volcanic highlands. Start in Ubud exploring its monkey sanctuary, palace, and artisan markets, then climb to Kintamani for sweeping views of Mount Batur and its crater lake. Lunch comes with volcano vistas, followed by a descent to Tegalalang's stepped rice paddies where you can trek, swing, or zip-line through emerald terraces. Finish at Tegenungan Waterfall's cascade before returning to your hotel.

What to expect
Hotel pickup at 08:00 sets the pace. Ubud's morning section involves walking through forested paths and bustling craft stalls—expect crowds and humidity. The drive uphill to Kintamani takes roughly 90 minutes, rewarding you with clear-day views across the caldera. Lunch at a local restaurant includes the vista as part of the meal. Tegalalang's terraces demand moderate hiking if you opt for trekking; swings and zip-lines add adrenaline but require reasonable fitness. Tegenungan is a short walk downslope to the waterfall pool. The full loop covers considerable ground, so expect travel time between sites.
Good to know
Bring walking shoes, sunscreen, and a light rain jacket. The monkey forest can be territorial—secure loose items and don't make direct eye contact. Rice terrace trekking involves small donations to local guides. Not advised for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns.
