The experience

Eight to ten hours in a private vehicle means you set the pace instead of following a fixed schedule. The driver picks you up from your hotel, and from there the day is yours to shape. You name the stops, whether that's the emerald rice paddies at Tegalalang, the clifftop Uluwatu Temple with its ocean views, the spring-fed pools at Tirta Empul where Balinese Hindus perform ritual purification, or the monkey-filled forest sanctuary in Ubud itself. The driver knows the routes, handles the navigation, and can suggest the optimal order so you're not backtracking. All fuel and parking are covered.

The vehicle is air-conditioned and clean, which matters when you're moving between stops across a full day. Your driver is English-speaking and doubles as a local expert and photographer. They know where the light hits best and which viewpoints the tour buses miss. Bottled water comes with you. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for selected areas across Ubud, Gianyar, Denpasar, South Badung, Bangli and Tabanan, so you don't arrange transport to the meeting point. If you want to venture further (to Gilimanuk, Lovina or Amed Karangasem), that's possible with a USD 30 surcharge per area.

The operator offers five pre-planned routes (Central Bali & Ubud, North Bali Lakes & Waterfalls, East Bali & Gate of Heaven, South Bali & Uluwatu Sunset, or 100% Custom Tailored), but the real flexibility is in the customization. List up to four places you want to visit in the booking remarks, keep them along one route so the driver can prepare the itinerary smoothly, and that becomes your day. Entrance tickets to temples and activities are separate, so you pay only for what you actually enter.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I visit Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Uluwatu Temple on the same tour?

Yes. Both are popular stops on the Central Bali & Ubud route, and you can combine them with up to two other stops along the same direction. The driver will plan the order to minimize travel time between them.

What is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary like?

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nature reserve and temple complex in Ubud itself, home to hundreds of monkeys. It combines a working temple with forest trails and is one of the most visited stops on Ubud-based tours.

What happens if I want to spend more time at one stop?

You can extend your travel time within the service areas for USD 5 per extra hour. This flexibility lets you linger at a temple, take photos, or explore a site without rushing back to the vehicle.

Is hotel pickup available from all Ubud accommodations?

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for selected areas within Ubud, Gianyar, Denpasar, South Badung, Bangli and Tabanan. Confirm your specific hotel location at checkout to verify pickup is available.

Do I need to pay for temple entrance tickets separately?

Yes. Entrance tickets to temples and activities are not included in the tour price. You pay for entry to Uluwatu Temple, Tirta Empul Temple, Besakih Temple, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary or any other attraction you choose to enter.
