About this tour
A 10-hour sweep through Ubud's highlights, blending rainforest wildlife, terraced farmland, and local food culture. Start in the Sacred Monkey Forest where hundreds of macaques inhabit two hectares of ancient canopy, then move to the emerald Tegalalang rice terraces for a working understanding of smallholder agriculture. Midday brings you to Tibumana Waterfall's cool spray and jungle surrounds. The finale: Gianyar Night Market, where you'll eat alongside locals rather than for them, sampling Balinese street food at source.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll travel by private air-conditioned car between five distinct stops. The Monkey Forest requires respectful distance and attention to your belongings—macaques are opportunistic. Tegalalang involves moderate walking on stepped paths through working paddies; bring sturdy shoes. The waterfall swim is optional but refreshing. By evening, the night market is crowded and tactile: vendors cooking on open fires, thick smoke, noise, and food you'll recognize only after eating. Guides explain farming and local life en route; don't expect lengthy commentary.
Good to know
Wear comfortable trainers and bring a change of clothes for the waterfall. Sunscreen and insect repellent essential. The market operates evenings only. Lunch included but market food costs extra. Gratuities not included. Tour suits all fitness levels but involves walking and heat exposure.
