About this tour
A curated six to seven-hour private tour through Ubud's cultural landmarks and natural attractions. Your driver collects you from your accommodation and steers you through the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, where macaques inhabit temples and jungle ravines, then to the royal Ubud Palace before reaching the UNESCO-listed Tegalalang Rice Terraces. The itinerary wraps with Tegenungan Waterfall, a tropical cascade tucked into a gorge. Lunch at a local restaurant is available mid-tour upon request.

- Monkeys roaming freely amongst Hindu temples and gorges
- Historic royal palace at the heart of Ubud

What to expect
You'll be picked up in the morning and spend the day in an air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver, who doubles as your guide. Expect moderate walking at each stop—the monkey forest involves paths through dense vegetation, the palace grounds require climbing some steps, and the rice terraces entail descending into the hillside. The waterfall site is accessible but involves a short trek. Timing is flexible; if you want lunch, your driver will recommend a spot and adjust the schedule accordingly. Bring sunscreen and a camera; the light is strong and photo opportunities abound.
