About this tour
Spend eight to ten hours exploring Ubud's standout spots in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable guide. You'll swing through the jungle canopy, walk among the rice terraces at Tegalalang, visit the temple springs of Tirta Empul, encounter monkeys in their forest sanctuary, and see a working Balinese family homestead. Your guide handles photography while you take in the sights, and a meal at a local warung can be added to the itinerary.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel early morning and driven through Ubud's valleys in climate-controlled comfort. The pace is unhurried—you'll spend time at each location rather than racing between them. The jungle swing offers a genuine thrill without technical climbing; your guide will steady you and capture the moment. Temple visits involve short walks on uneven ground; the rice terrace overlooks require modest scrambling. You'll interact with locals at the family compound and learn how subsistence farming works here. If lunch is included, expect casual warung food—flavourful, filling, nothing fancy.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes for temple steps and waterfall areas. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light sarong or scarf for temple entrances. The swing photo is the tour's highlight—budget time for it. Entrance fees apply only if you select them upfront; they aren't automatic. Gratuities for your guide are discretionary but appreciated.
