About this tour
A nine-hour private tour through central Bali's most photographed landscapes. You'll move between the forested monkey sanctuary near Ubud, emerald rice paddies tiered across hillsides, a secluded waterfall tucked into jungle, and the temple complex known for its sacred spring pools. Your own air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver collect you from South Bali accommodation, handle navigation, and cover all park fees if you choose the inclusive option.
Highlights
- Navigate the Sacred Monkey Forest on foot amongst temple ruins
- Walk through Tegalalang's stacked rice terraces at golden hour
- Wade into a hidden waterfall pool in jungle setting
- Explore Tirta Empul's spring-fed temple with bathing pavilions
- Private vehicle—no group coach, no fixed departure times
- Driver knows shortcuts and quiet entry times
What to expect
Expect a full day of movement between five distinct locations, each requiring a short walk or exploration on foot. The monkey forest demands alertness—these aren't tame animals, and loose items vanish. Rice terraces involve descending uneven steps and muddy paths; waterproof shoes help. The temple complex is busy by mid-morning, so early arrival pays off. You'll spend roughly two hours driving total, broken into short segments. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and a sarong or scarf for temple entry. Your guide will point out details but won't monopolise your time.
Good to know
If paying entry fees on the day, bring IDR 275,000 cash per person. Bottled water supplied; buy additional snacks or meals at stops. Avoid wearing loose jewellery or leaving phones unattended in the monkey forest. Wear sturdy walking shoes—terrain is uneven throughout.
