About this tour
A private 6–7 hour loop through Ubud's landscapes and heritage. Starting from your accommodation, you'll visit Tegenungan Waterfall—a refreshing spot with crystalline pools—then trek through Tegalalang Rice Terrace's layered paddies and river gorges. Lunch at a local restaurant fuels the afternoon temple rounds: Ubud Palace, the royal seat with ornate courtyards, and Batuan Temple, where intricate stone carvings and traditional black-palm thatch roofing showcase Balinese craft. Your own air-conditioned car and driver mean no tour-group rushes.

What to expect
You'll leave your hotel early to beat crowds at Tegenungan, where the water runs clean enough for a dip. The Tegalalang section involves gentle walking through working paddies—expect uneven terrain and photo stops. After lunch, the palace visit is mostly a stroll through courtyards and pavilions; Batuan Temple requires a bit of climbing and cultural respect (temples are active worship spaces). The driver doubles as your guide, explaining what you see. Pace is relaxed and flexible; you can skip sites or linger longer if you prefer.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have serious heart or breathing issues. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and swimwear if you want to wade. Wear smart-casual clothes and sturdy shoes for temple stairs. Children under 2 are free. The itinerary can shift based on your wishes—just confirm timing when booking.
