About this tour
Pack nine to ten hours exploring Bali's cultural and natural heartland on a private guided loop. Start at Tegenungan Waterfall's jungle pools, then move through the holy spring baths of Tirta Empul Temple. Head inland to Kintamani for lunch overlooking Lake Batur and its volcanic backdrop, followed by time among Tegalalang's dramatic rice terraces. Walk the monkey-filled forest sanctuary near Ubud, visit the royal palace grounds at Puri Saren, and wrap up browsing handicrafts at Ubud's market. Your driver navigates the route solo—no other travellers sharing the vehicle.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early and handles all route decisions. At each stop, you'll have time to explore independently or ask questions—they function as both chauffeur and local knowledge source. The day mixes water, temples, farmland, and forest, so expect to be on your feet regularly, moving between vehicle and attractions. Lunch at Kintamani is buffet-style with sweeping views; the monkey forest requires watchfulness around your belongings. By afternoon, Ubud's market buzzes with traders and other visitors. The itinerary is flexible—tell your driver if you want more time anywhere or prefer a modified sequence.
