About this tour
An eight-hour loop through Ubud's most visited corners: sacred monkey temple, jungle swing, and Tirta Empul's spring-fed pools. You'll move between three distinct spots in an air-conditioned vehicle, mixing adrenaline (the swing) with contemplation (the temple bathing grounds). Geared towards people after genuine Balinese culture rather than resort lounging.
Highlights
- Sacred Monkey Forest with free-roaming primates and temple ruins
- Jungle swing suspended above canopy with valley vistas
- Tirta Empul spring temple with ritual bathing pools
- Air-conditioned transport between sites
- Eight hours total, multiple stops
What to expect
You'll start at Ubud's monkey sanctuary, wandering temple grounds where macaques move openly—keep bags zipped and sunglasses secured. Next comes the swing: a rope-and-board rig hung over forest; one or two swings per person, photos included. The day finishes at Tirta Empul, where spring water feeds a series of pools. You can wade in the shallower sections (bring a sarong or swimwear); locals and pilgrims bathe here daily. Expect crowds at all three locations, especially mornings. No lunch provided, so eat before or bring snacks.
Good to know
Not suitable if you're pregnant, have spinal issues, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Infants must sit on an adult's lap in the vehicle. Bring water, sunscreen, and closed shoes for uneven temple terrain. The swing experience isn't extreme but requires basic fitness.
