Itinerary
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Admission included90 min
Begin your day with hotel pickup and head to the Ubud Monkey Forest, a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed macaques. The forest is a sacred place for the local community and contains three ancient temples dating back to the 14th century, hidden within the dense jungle canopy. Take a leisurely walk through the forest and observe the macaques in their natural habitat, but be sure to keep a safe distance and follow the rules – no touching or feeding the monkeys! Don't forget your camera, as the adorable moments with these monkeys are sure to bring a smile.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace
Admission included60 min
Next, marvel at the breathtaking views of the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, a UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape showcasing the island's traditional Subak irrigation system. Here, you can enjoy various exciting activities such as swinging above the rice fields on a comfortable swing or couple swing, taking in the stunning views of the lush green terraces and the surrounding countryside. You can also zipline through the air, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you soar above the terraces and take in the panoramic views. Alternatively, ride a skybike, pedaling through the air with the wind in your hair and the scenery whizzing by. Take your time to explore and enjoy the scenery and capture some memorable photos.
Ulu Petanu Waterfall
Admission included60 min
Continue to the hidden Ulu Petanu Waterfall, a secluded natural spot perfect for peaceful reflection away from the crowds. Surrounded by refreshing spray and lush greenery, soak in the tranquility of the area and take a moment to relax and rejuvenate. The waterfall cascades down a rocky slope, creating a misty veil that rises into the air, and a natural pool at the base invites you to take a refreshing dip. You can also take a short hike to explore the surrounding area and enjoy the scenic views.
60 min
Take a break for an authentic lunch in a beautiful garden setting, nestled amidst lush rice fields and overlooking the majestic mountains. Enjoy delicious Balinese and Indonesian food while taking in the serene views of the surrounding landscape. The restaurant's tranquil atmosphere and stunning scenery make it the perfect spot to relax and recharge. Don't forget to wash it down with a refreshing glass of fresh juice.
Pemulan Bali Coffee Plantation
60 min
Visit a nearby plantation to discover the secrets of coffee making. Enjoy tasting local herbal teas and coffee, and experience the unique flavor of high-quality Balinese blends. Learn about the process of coffee production, from planting to harvesting to roasting, and take home some specialty coffee as a souvenir.
Elephant Cave
Admission included60 min
Finally, explore the 11th-century Goa Gajah, an ancient Hindu temple featuring a menacing face carved into the cave entrance, believed to represent the powerful forces of nature. As you enter the cave, you'll discover ancient stone relics and statues, including a beautifully carved elephant head, which gives the temple its name. Take a moment to explore the surrounding area, including the tranquil bathing pools and lush gardens, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred site. Your driver will then bring you safely back to your hotel, with memories of an unforgettable day in Ubud.

Ubud Tour
We have had an amazing day. Our guide Karek Jarot was so friendly and knowledgable, he provided so much extra information at each venue and really brought the places to life. The monkeys were so cute and the scenery at the waterfalls was stunning. At the temple Karek was able to answer all our questions and we really enjoyed ourselves. The coffee plantation was a highlight - the first time we’ve had a tea/coffee flight

Ubud day tour
The tour was a great blend of culture and nature.
Our guide, Kadek Jarot, was amazing and very knowledgable, able to provide history and insights to the Hindu religion which brought some of the venues to life.
Expert photograph was provided throughout.
I would highly recommend this trip and Kadek as a guide.

Day trip with Kadek our guide
Excellent day out with the family. If you want to do multiple tourist attractions in one day, this is definitely worth it. Our guide, Kadek, met us at the hotel. He is very knowledgeable and his English is very good. He helped us get good pictures for lasting memories. We can't thank him enough. He was giving our son high fives a few times during the trip, which my son really enjoyed.
