About this tour
Explore Ubud's cultural and natural highlights from the passenger seat of a restored Volkswagen, driven by an English-speaking local. Over eight hours, you'll visit the tiered rice paddies of Tegalalang, encounter monkeys at the sacred forest sanctuary, and wander the temple grounds at Tirta Empul. The vintage car adds character to what amounts to a relaxed, privately-guided route through central Bali's most photographed corners.
Highlights
- Tegalalang Rice Terraces: staggered green paddies and valley vistas
- Sacred Monkey Forest: free-roaming primates in temple grounds
- Tirta Empul Water Temple: spring-fed pools and Hindu shrine
- Private restored Volkswagen with knowledgeable chauffeur
- Eight-hour itinerary blending driving time and site exploration
- All entrance fees and parking included in price
What to expect
Expect roughly three hours and forty minutes of actual sightseeing split across three major stops; the remainder covers transfers and pickup/dropoff. The Volkswagen is charming but not a luxury coach—it's snug, open-air in character, and suited to Bali's winding roads. Your driver handles logistics and commentary. At Tegalalang, you'll walk the ridge paths for photos; at the Monkey Forest, stay alert around the animals; at Tirta Empul, budget time for temple exploration and the ceremonial bathing pools. This is a guided loop, not an off-road adventure.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wear sunscreen and sturdy shoes for uneven terrain. Bring a sarong or sash to cover shoulders and knees at temples. The car's vintage design means limited air conditioning—travel early or expect heat. Confirm pickup location when booking.
