About this tour
This private tour ventures into Ubud's countryside to link three signature attractions: cascading waterfalls hidden in jungle folds, a working water temple where locals make offerings, and emerald rice paddies that slope down hillsides. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle with your own guide, stopping as long as you like at each site. Available as a half-day or full-day experience, the tour suits nature-focused travellers who want to move beyond the main town and see how rural Balinese communities live.
Highlights
- Wade through jungle streams to reach tiered waterfall pools
- Visit functioning water temple where Balinese perform daily rituals
- Walk through working rice paddies still harvested by local farmers
- Private vehicle allows flexible pacing and unscheduled stops
- Sarong provided for temple entry and cultural respect
- English-speaking guide shares context on agriculture and spirituality
What to expect
Expect a mix of walking and driving. Waterfall sections involve scrambling down slippery paths and wading through knee-deep water—wear appropriate footwear and bring dry clothes. The temple is open-air and modest, not a grand monument; you'll observe people genuinely at worship, not staged performances. Rice terraces involve walking narrow bunds between paddies; solid footing is needed but the pace is gentle. Midday heat is intense; bring water and sunscreen. Your guide will stop talking if you want quiet time to absorb the landscape. Lunch isn't included, though your guide can suggest local warungs.
Good to know
Wear quick-dry clothes and water shoes for waterfall sections. Start early to avoid crowds and afternoon downpours. Roads are bumpy; inform your guide if you have back or heart concerns. Pregnant travellers should skip this tour. The guide can arrange a detour to eat, but budget time accordingly.
