The experience

The tour starts with hotel pickup from your accommodation in Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu or one of the other covered areas: no need to arrange a taxi or navigate to a meeting point. Your private driver and guide arrive at your hotel lobby at the time you book, and from there the day moves through eight to ten hours of stops, each one arranged and paid for. Entrance tickets to every site are included, as is lunch served at Kintamani highland overlooking Mount Batur and Lake Batur.

The route takes you through Batuan Temple, nearly 1,000 years old and ornate with elaborate carvings, then to Gunung Kawi: an 11th-century temple carved into a 7-metre cliff face across the Pakerisan river. You walk through Tegalalang Rice Terrace to see the green paddies and watch farmers at work, then down to Tegenungan Waterfall surrounded by tropical jungle. The Sacred Monkey Forest near Ubud holds over 700 monkeys and three temples within the forest sanctuary. Celuk Village, famous for gold and silver jewelry, rounds out the cultural stops before the drive back to your hotel.
