About this tour
This 9–10 hour circuit sweeps you from Ubud's jungle interior to Bali's most iconic coastal temple. Start at Tegenungan Waterfall, then move through the sculptural rice paddies of Tegalalang before encountering the macaques of Sacred Monkey Forest and touring Ubud Palace. Lunch included. The day culminates at Tanah Lot Temple, where you watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean behind an ancient stone sanctuary anchored to the reef.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your accommodation and driven inland to Tegenungan, where a short walk brings you to the waterfall's base—expect mist, sound, and the chance to wade if you wish. The rice terraces follow: steep, geometric, and best photographed from established viewpoints. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. The monkey sanctuary requires vigilance (they'll snatch loose items) but rewards patience with close encounters. Ubud Palace shows ornate carvings and courtyards. The final leg heads west; you'll arrive at Tanah Lot 30–45 minutes before sunset, giving time to explore the temple grounds and position yourself before the light show. The return drive is roughly 90 minutes.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen; paths can be uneven and sun exposure is steady. The monkey forest demands secure bags. Sunset timing varies seasonally, so confirm departure time with your driver. This tour involves several stops with short walks; those with cardiac concerns should consult their doctor first. Infants under two travel free.
