About this tour
This eight to ten hour private tour takes you through rural Bali's lesser-known corners, calling at villages rarely on the standard circuit, a bamboo grove, and Pura Besakih—Bali's foremost temple complex. Your English-speaking guide navigates the cultural landscape while you travel by air-conditioned vehicle, finishing at Tukad Cepung waterfall. The pace suits all fitness levels, though you'll cover considerable ground. Entrance fees (USD 20) are your responsibility, as is lunch.
Highlights
- Meet locals in traditional villages off the main tourist trail
- Walk through towering bamboo forest near Ubud
- Enter Pura Besakih, Bali's principal Hindu temple
- Swim at Tukad Cepung waterfall surrounded by jungle
- Private vehicle and guide for the full day
- Hotel collection and return included
What to expect
You'll start with pickup from your accommodation, then head east into rural settlements where daily life moves at a different pace. The bamboo forest offers a cool, shaded walk—bring a camera. Pura Besakih is architecturally stunning and spiritually significant; dress modestly (sarongs provided). The waterfall requires a short trek downhill through vegetation to reach a natural pool. Expect a mix of cultural observation, nature time, and swimming. Bring cash for the entrance fee and plan lunch yourself beforehand or pack provisions.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring swimmers. The waterfall trek involves uneven terrain and slippery rocks—manageable but not trivial. Respectful dress is essential at the temple. No lunch provided; eat before departure or bring food. Early morning starts suit the pace.
