About this tour
A nine-hour private circuit through Ubud's defining landscapes and cultural sites, starting with hotel collection and moving between Tegenungan's thundering waterfall, the layered rice paddies of Tegalalang, the carved temple complex of Goa Gajah, and the macaque-filled jungle of the Sacred Monkey Forest. You'll pause for lunch, explore the Ubud Palace's traditional architecture, then browse the Art Market for crafts before returning to your accommodation. Your own driver navigates the roads and provides commentary throughout.
Highlights
- Tegenungan Waterfall's towering cascade and green rock amphitheatre
- Tegalalang Rice Terrace's geometric paddies stretching across hillside
- Goa Gajah Temple's 11th-century carved stonework and gorge setting
- Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary's gray macaques in dense jungle
- Ubud Palace's traditional Balinese architecture and decorative gardens
- Ubud Art Market for locally made textiles, masks, and woodcarvings
What to expect
Your driver will collect you from your hotel and move through the day at a measured pace, stopping at each site long enough to walk, photograph, and absorb. The waterfall and rice terraces involve short walking tracks with some uneven footing. Goa Gajah requires climbing steps and navigating a temple precinct. The monkey forest demands alertness—keep valuables secure and don't feed the macaques. Lunch is Indonesian set menu at a local restaurant (vegetarian available). The palace is ornamental rather than sprawling, and the art market rewards browsing. Expect heat, humidity, and occasional crowds at popular stops.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a camera; wear smart-casual clothes and sturdy walking shoes. The tour suits most fitness levels but involves moderate walking and isn't ideal if you have heart concerns. Flexible timing can be arranged. Children under two travel free. Your group has the vehicle to yourselves.
