About this tour
Spend a full day exploring Bali's dual personality: the cultural riches of Ubud paired with the dramatic coastal temple of Tanah Lot. This nine-to-ten-hour private tour whisks you from verdant waterfalls and rice terraces through sacred monkey forests and royal palaces, then deposits you at the sunset-soaked clifftop temple for golden-hour views. Your own driver navigates; lunch and entrance fees are sorted if you want them.
Highlights
- Tegenungan Waterfall amid thick jungle canopy
- Tegalalang Rice Terrace's staggered green slopes
- Ubud Monkey Forest with hundreds of grey macaques
- Ubud Royal Palace: the cultural core
- Taman Ayun Temple's manicured gardens and ponds
- Tanah Lot Temple silhouetted against sunset
What to expect
Hotel pickup happens early. You'll spend the morning in Ubud's cooler highlands, walking through waterfall spray and across rice-paddy paths—bring sturdy shoes. The monkey forest is chaotic but rewarding; keep bags zipped and sunglasses secured. After lunch, it's a rolling drive south through villages toward the coast. Tanah Lot hits differently at dusk: the temple sits on a rocky island, waves crash theatrically, and tour groups cluster for photos. The drive back to your hotel takes time, so plan accordingly.
Good to know
Wear smart casual and sunscreen—Ubud mornings are shaded but the coast burns. Vegetarian meals available with advance notice. Infants under two travel free. The itinerary flexes to suit you. Not ideal if you have cardiac concerns. Bring a camera; the light is extraordinary.
