All Inclusive: Monkey Forest, Rice terrace, Holly Spring Temple

About this tour

Spend a full day exploring Ubud's most-visited attractions with your own driver and guide. You'll navigate the macaque-filled forests, walk through dramatic rice paddies, wade through temple spring pools, and visit a cascading waterfall—all without the tour-bus crowds. A private vehicle means you set the pace and skip the hard-sell stops. Sarongs and entrance fees are sorted; bring your own lunch or budget for roadside warungs.

What to expect

Your day starts early with hotel pickup, then it's a series of stops around Ubud's central highlands. Monkey Forest involves walking on maintained paths through thick vegetation—expect humidity and the constant presence of curious primates. The rice terraces require moderate walking on slopes and steps; it's photogenic but muddy after rain. Tirta Empul Temple is the most crowded site; early arrival helps. You'll wade into cool spring-fed pools (bring a swimming costume). The waterfall is refreshing but modest in volume during dry season. Each site takes 1–2 hours. Your guide handles logistics; you handle energy levels.

Good to know

Lunch isn't included—pack snacks or eat at warungs near stops. Wear sturdy shoes with grip for wet surfaces. The full itinerary suits moderate fitness; waterfall access involves slippery rocks. Young children can come, but strollers work only on flat sections. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a change of clothes for temple swimming.
