About this tour
A full-day private tour through Ubud and Kintamani that strings together Bali's cultural and natural highlights. You'll catch a Barong dance performance, visit artisan villages specialising in metalwork and painting, trek through the Tegallalang rice terraces, explore the monkey forest, and finish in the cooler hill town of Kintamani. An air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver are yours for up to 10 hours; traffic permitting, you'll typically hit four stops.
Highlights
- Barong dance performance—masked warriors and mythology
- Celuk Village—watch goldsmiths and silversmiths at work
- Batuan Village—traditional Balinese painters in their studios
- Tegallalang rice terraces—geometric paddies and walking paths
- Ubud Monkey Forest—sacred sanctuary with playful macaques
- Kintamani—volcanic highlands with cooler air and views
What to expect
Your driver collects you in the morning and drives through Ubud's artisan quarters, stopping long enough to watch craftspeople at their benches in Celuk and Batuan. The Barong performance is typically a mid-morning show with loud gamelan and acrobatic storytelling. Mid-day you'll walk the rice terraces—muddy in wet season, dusty otherwise—and explore the monkey forest on foot, where long-tailed macaques roam freely and demand respect for your belongings. The route climbs into Kintamani's cooler hills by afternoon. Exact stops depend on traffic and daylight; most tours fit four destinations comfortably in the window.
Good to know
Bring water, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes for the terraces. The monkey forest has strict no-direct-eye-contact rules; take glasses and phones seriously. Food and drinks are your own expense. Extra hours beyond 10 cost 10% of the day rate. Infants under 2 enter free; child car seats are available on request.
