What to expect
Your guide collects you early morning and drives through Ubud's back roads to each site. Expect to spend 90 minutes at Monkey Forest navigating stone pathways and watching the animals up close—keep your belongings secure. Tegalalang's rice terraces require gentle walking on muddy tracks between the paddies; wear proper footwear. Tirta Empul involves wading into cool spring-fed pools in your swimmers; changing facilities are available. The waterfall is the final stop, a short walk through jungle to a refreshing cascade. The pace is leisurely with breaks for photos and questions.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, towel, and change of clothes for the temple pools and waterfall. Wear sturdy shoes with grip for muddy terrain. Apply sunscreen and insect repellent. Monkeys are curious but generally harmless if you keep distance and don't feed them. The tour suits all fitness levels and is wheelchair accessible throughout.
