Hotel pickup and drop-off included; food and the optional swing activity cost extra.

What to expect
Expect a full day on the move. You'll start early with hotel collection and spend the morning wandering the Monkey Forest—the macaques are bold and curious, so keep bags zipped and don't make direct eye contact. The rice terraces are genuinely steep; wear sturdy shoes and bring sun protection. Lunch is separate, giving you freedom to choose locally. The waterfall requires a moderate walk through muddy forest paths. At the coffee plantation, you'll watch the process from bean to cup and sample several brews. Tirta Empul Temple finishes the day on a reflective note, with the option to wade in the holy springs (separate fee). Throughout, your guide handles logistics so you focus on exploring.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and lightweight, modest clothing—temples require covered shoulders and knees. Bring cash for lunch and extras; not all stops accept cards. The itinerary isn't suitable for those with spinal issues, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. Women menstruating cannot enter temples. Bottled water is provided, but pack sunscreen and insect repellent. Allow flexibility; stops may shift based on traffic or conditions.
