About this tour
This eight-to-ten-hour private tour threads through Ubud's cultural heartland and into the cooler highlands of Kintamani. Your group travels together in an air-conditioned vehicle, stopping at working rice terraces, a traditional coffee plantation with rope swings, wood and silver craft villages, ancient temples, and a monkey sanctuary. Mount Batur looms across the landscape while live dance unfolds at Ubud Palace. The driver stays with you throughout; entrance fees and meals are paid separately on the day.

What to expect
You'll cover ground steadily, moving between villages and temples across Ubud regency and into the volcanic highlands. Expect moderate walking—paddies involve uneven terrain, temples have steps and stone floors, and the monkey forest is a shaded ramble. The pace suits someone reasonably fit but not athletic. Temperatures drop noticeably as you climb toward Kintamani. Craft workshops are hands-off observation; artisans work while you watch. Entrance gates and meal stops happen throughout the day; bring cash for all of these. The driver navigates; you focus on the sights.
Good to know
Pack sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sturdy walking shoes and a towel. Bring a camera—light and shade alternate constantly. You'll need cash for all entrance fees and food; no cards accepted at gates. The tour suits groups up to 15 people sharing one vehicle. Not suitable for spinal issues, poor fitness or pregnancy. Hotel pickup is included; provide your accommodation name at booking.
