About this tour

A 10-hour private guided loop through Ubud's most recognisable spots. Start amongst hundreds of wild monkeys in their forest sanctuary, then move through emerald rice terraces that tier the hillsides in geometric patterns. Visit Tirta Empul's spring-fed temple complex, known for its ritual bathing pools, and finish at Tibumana waterfall where you can swim in the plunge pool below. Includes vehicle, entrance fees (where selected), and water throughout.

Highlights

  • Hand-feed and photograph wild monkeys in their natural habitat
  • Walk amongst cascading rice paddies at Tegalalang
  • Bathe in Tirta Empul's sacred spring-water pools
  • Swim beneath Tibumana's cliff-side waterfall
  • Browse Ubud's traditional market for local crafts
  • Air-conditioned transport between five locations

What to expect

Your guide collects you early and drives you first to the Monkey Forest, where you'll spend time observing and photographing the resident troop up close—keep valuables secured as they're curious. Next, the rice terraces at Tegalalang offer photo opportunities and a sense of scale; the walk is gentle but uneven underfoot. Tirta Empul temple involves modest climbing and removal of shoes; the spring pools are cool year-round. Tibumana waterfall sits in a lush ravine with a natural pool suitable for swimming. You'll return to your hotel by late afternoon. The pace is steady but manageable for most fitness levels.

Good to know

Wear secure footwear and bring a change of clothes for the waterfall. Sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent are essential. Monkeys are unpredictable—don't leave items unattended. Lunch isn't included; eat beforehand or budget for roadside stops. The Ubud Swing (Bali Swing) costs extra if you wish to add it.
