Best of Ubud Private Day Tour with All Inclusive

About this tour

This full-day private tour covers Ubud's cultural highlights without the tour-group shuffle. You'll move through artisan villages famous for wood carving and batik work, swim at Tegenungan Waterfall, explore the thousand-year-old rice terraces of Tegalalang, visit Batuan Temple, and encounter the macaques in the Sacred Monkey Forest. Coffee tasting and a local guide round out the day. Pick-up from southern Bali resorts (Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur and others) and drop-off included.

• Tegalalang rice terraces: 2,000-year-old stepped landscape
• Tegenungan Waterfall: swim and cool off in mountain setting
• Sacred Monkey Forest: 670 long-tailed macaques in natural habitat
• Batuan Temple: ornate Hindu shrine with spiritual context
• Coffee plantation: taste and learn traditional Balinese preparation

What to expect

Expect a structured day moving between sites in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. Morning visits focus on artisan workshops where you can watch craftspeople at work—genuinely educational if you're interested in how things are made. Midday takes you to Tegalalang's rice fields; the views are photo-worthy but crowded by noon. Afternoon includes the waterfall (refreshing but basic facilities) and Monkey Forest, where macaques are bold and occasionally aggressive around bags and sunglasses. Temple visits require respectful dress. Coffee tasting happens at a working farm, not a tourist plantation. Plan for occasional stops and bathroom breaks.

Good to know

Wear smart-casual clothing and secure footwear. Bring a sarong for temples or rent one on-site. Food and drinks aren't included except water; pack snacks or budget for roadside meals. The pace is moderate but involves walking uneven terrain. Sunscreen and insect repellent essential. Not suitable if you have heart or mobility issues.
