About this tour
This six-hour private tour covers Ubud's essential sights without the group-tour rush. You'll start among long-tailed macaques in the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, move through the geometrically perfect rice paddies of Tegalalang, then explore the intricate stonework of Batuan Temple before finishing at Ulu Petanu Waterfall, where you can cool off in a quieter jungle setting. Hotel pickup, entrance fees and an English-speaking driver are included; bring cash for lunch.
Highlights
- Hundreds of long-tailed macaques in their natural forest habitat
- Tegalalang's staircase rice paddies—photograph-worthy from every angle
- Batuan Temple's detailed carved gates and courtyards
- Ulu Petanu Waterfall for a dip away from crowds
- Air-conditioned vehicle between sites
- Driver handles photos so you're not glued to your phone
What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven through Ubud's backroads. At Monkey Forest, expect close encounters with curious macaques—they're habituated to visitors but still wild, so keep valuables secured. Tegalalang involves walking through the paddies themselves, not just viewing from above. Batuan Temple is working and active, so dress respectfully (sarongs provided if needed). The waterfall is a short walk through jungle; wear proper shoes. Each site typically gets 45–75 minutes. Your driver will suggest the best photo spots and timing.
Good to know
Bring insect repellent and sunscreen. The pace is moderate but involves uneven ground and steps. Wear enclosed shoes for temple and waterfall. Lunch isn't included—eat before or pack snacks. Early morning trips avoid peak tourist crowds. Children under five travel free in air-conditioned comfort.
