About this tour
This seven to eight-hour private tour departs from Benoa cruise terminal and showcases Ubud's most compelling sights.

Your own driver-guide handles logistics and doubles as photographer, leaving you free to absorb the landscape. Air-conditioned transport and entrance fees included.

- Sacred Monkey Forest: wild primates in temple ruins
- Ancient temple with eroded statues and spiritual atmosphere
- Private vehicle and professional English-speaking guide
- Hotel or port pickup; photography assistance included

What to expect
Expect a steady pace through Ubud's cultural core. After collection from the port, you'll drive inland toward the Monkey Forest, where hundreds of long-tailed macaques inhabit moss-covered temple grounds—keep valuables secure and let your guide manage monkey interaction. The drive to Tegallalang takes you through villages and banana plantations; the rice terraces themselves demand at least an hour for photos and orientation. The temple visit wraps the afternoon. Roads are paved but winding; motion sickness tablets recommended if prone. Crowds build mid-morning, so early starts advantage you.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; your guide can suggest local warungs. Dress modestly for temple entry (sarongs usually provided). Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven terraced paths. The itinerary suits most fitness levels, but steep sections and temple stairs challenge those with back or heart concerns. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent.
