About this tour

A driver and local guide handle navigation and logistics, with all entrance fees, lunch, and transport included.

- Watch pilgrims perform water purification at Tirta Empul
- Visit Kanto Lampo waterfall among rice paddies

What to expect
You'll start early, collecting monkeys at close range—they're bold and curious, so secure loose items. The rice terrace walk is moderate, mostly flat paths between paddies; wear shoes with grip for muddy sections. The swing delivers genuine adrenaline and a stomach drop; photos are the main reward. Tirta Empul shows pilgrims genuinely at prayer in spring-fed pools; it's active, not museum-like. Lunch breaks the day midway. Kanto Lampo is a quieter waterfall stop with smaller crowds. Your driver speaks English and stops for photos without prompting.
Good to know
Bring a light sarong or scarf for temple entry; sarong lockers are provided. The monkeys steal sunglasses and phone cameras—leave valuables in the car. Waterproof bags protect electronics during purification ritual participation. Car has air-con; the day involves 3–4 hours of walking in tropical heat. Infant seats available on request.
