About this tour
This 10-hour guided tour threads together three distinct Balinese landscapes: the macaque-filled Sacred Monkey Sanctuary, the sculpted rice paddies of Tegalalang, and two contrasting waterfalls. You'll visit Tirta Empul temple for its ritual spring-water pools, stop for lunch at a jungle-facing warung, then explore the cave-set Tukad Cepung waterfall before cooling off in the gentler pools of Tibumana. Hotel pickup and drop-off included, with an English-speaking guide throughout.
Highlights
- Feed and photograph macaques in their forest habitat
- Walk through stacked rice terraces at peak growing season
- Bathe in Tirta Empul's sacred spring-water channels
- Wade into limestone cave behind Tukad Cepung cascade
- Swim in Tibumana's natural emerald pools
- Jungle-view lunch at a family-run restaurant
What to expect
You'll spend the morning navigating the monkey forest—crowded at peak hours, so watch your belongings and let the guide manage interactions. The rice terraces are photogenic but steep underfoot; wear grippy shoes. Tirta Empul requires modest dress and involves wading waist-deep through cold mineral water. Lunch is a casual sit-down with jungle sounds. The final leg means swimming kit: Tukad Cepung involves scrambling over rocks inside a cave system (slippery), while Tibumana is more leisurely. Pack a waterproof bag and expect to be damp by day's end.
Good to know
Minimum two people per booking. Bring swimwear, towel, and water shoes. Monkeys can be aggressive—don't carry loose items. The cave waterfall involves wading through waist-high water; not suitable for young children or limited mobility. Vegetarian lunch available if requested at booking. Vehicle is air-conditioned; bring a light layer.
