Ubud: Private Day Tour with Jungle Swing & Rice TerracesYou’ll feel Bali with every sense on this private Ubud tour: temple incense at Batuan, cool mist from Tegenungan Waterfall, laughter on the jungle swing above Tegalalang rice terraces, and local life in Ubud’s art market.

Ubud Silver Jewelry Making Class: Learn Traditional CraftsA private silver jewelry making class in Ubud's Celuk Sukawati village, where you learn sawing, soldering, stamping, hammering, sanding and polishing under expert instruction. You work with five grams of silver and all tools provided, and walk away with the piece you made; the class runs about three hours and includes snacks and water.Is it for me?The guide teaches in English, so you follow the instruction comfortably even if Balinese is new to you. This class suits a free afternoon or a morning when you want to make something with your hands instead of watching a demonstration—you leave with an actual piece of jewelry, not a memory of watching someone else work.
Ubud Private Tour: Monkey Forest, Waterfalls & Rice TerraceThis private guided tour of Ubud covers four distinct stops over roughly ten hours, starting with hotel pickup and ending with return transport. You walk through Tegenungan Waterfall's jungle setting and natural pool, explore Batuan Temple's 11th-century sandstone carvings and split gates, stroll the cascading paddies of Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and visit the Monkey Forest sanctuary. The guide speaks English and explains the spiritual etiquette and traditional layouts of Balinese sacred spaces as you move through each site. Lunch is on your own; entrance fees, private transport, and a bottle of mineral water are included.Is it for me?The guide speaks English throughout, so you follow the commentary and spiritual explanations at each temple and landscape without language barriers. This works well if you want cultural context and photography guidance from someone who knows the best angles and the meaning behind what you're seeing, rather than moving through the sites on your own.
Private Trunyan Village Tour from Ubud: Bali's Open CemeteryA private guided tour from Ubud to Trunyan Village, a Bali Aga settlement known for its open cemetery where the local community places corpses above ground in ceremonial practice rather than burying them.

Children from age 3 are welcome; the pace suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to move beyond Ubud's main attractions and see how a Balinese community practices ritual differently—the open cemetery and the guide's explanation of it are what set this apart from standard temple-and-waterfall itineraries. The private format and included lunch mean you're not coordinating meals or managing a group schedule.
East Bali tour: Tukad Cepung, Besakih Temple, Lempuyang GateA private guided tour of East Bali visiting Tukad Cepung Waterfall, Besakih Temple, Tirta Gangga water garden and Lempuyang Temple's famous gate, with hotel pickup and an English-speaking driver.
