About this tour
Explore Ubud's most recognisable landmarks in five to seven hours with a private guide and driver. This compact tour takes you to Tegallalang's emerald rice terraces, a secluded waterfall, and Tirta Empul Temple, where you'll participate in the water blessing ritual. Your guide shares cultural context throughout, and hotel pickups cover Ubud, Sanur, and Benoa port.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven through Ubud's winding roads to three main stops. At Tirta Empul, expect a calm, spiritual experience—the guide will explain the blessing ritual before you participate in cool spring water. The rice terrace visit involves walking through narrow paths between paddies for photos and perspective on local agriculture. The waterfall requires a short trek downhill; wear appropriate footwear. Your guide provides context on Balinese customs and daily life throughout. The pace is relaxed, and you'll return to your hotel by early afternoon.

Menstruating women cannot enter temples, so plan accordingly. The tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal injuries. Bring sturdy shoes, sunscreen, and a light layer—temples require covered shoulders. Water and parking are included; lunch is not. Gratuities are optional.
