Bali: Quad Bike Jungle Ride, Monkey Forest & Tegenungan WaterfallYou’ll ride a 350cc quad bike through muddy jungle tracks near Ubud with a local guide leading the way, then share lunch overlooking bright green rice fields before meeting monkeys at Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and ending at Tegenungan waterfall — where you can cool off or just watch the water crash down. It’s a day full of laughter, dirt under your nails, and those little moments that stick with you.
Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance: Sunset tour with pickupA half-day tour to Uluwatu Temple on Bali's cliffs, where you watch the Kecak Fire Dance performed by over 40 bare-chested dancers chanting in rhythm as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. Private transportation picks you up from your hotel, entrance fees and bottled water are included, and the performance draws from the Hindu epic Ramayana, telling the story of Prince Rama rescuing Princess Sita from the demon king Ravana. The tour runs six hours and suits travelers with at least moderate fitness; children are welcome from age 4.Is it for me?Book this if you want a structured half-day itinerary built around catching the kecak fire dance at sunset—private pickup means you'll arrive with time to spare rather than rushing from other activities.
Ubud Zipline & ATV Quad Bike Adventure with Hotel PickupYou get picked up at your hotel, zip-line above the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, then ride an ATV through Bali's rugged terrain at Gorilla ATV Adventure. Meals, safety gear, insurance and a professional guide are included; the coffee plantation stop is optional. Hotel drop-off ends the half-day adventure, so you're back with time to rest before evening.Is it for me?Book this if you want two completely different adrenaline experiences in one half-day without arranging separate bookings, transport or meals—the fixed itinerary and included guide handle all the logistics so you just show up and ride.
Ubud Waterfall Tour: Four Falls with Private DriverA full-day tour from Ubud visiting four waterfalls — Tegenungan, Kanto Lampo, Tukad Cepung and Tibumana — with a private car, English-speaking driver and entrance tickets included. The tour runs 8 to 10 hours and covers waterfalls with distinct characters: one has a 25-meter drop with crystal-clear water, another requires squeezing between cliff walls, a third flows from the lowlands near local houses, and Tibumana features twin falls with a shallow pool for swimming. You choose between a package with lunch included or transport only, and meals or personal expenses beyond the base option are your choice at checkout.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to see multiple waterfalls in one day without managing the roads yourself — the private car and driver handle the route and timing, so you move between four distinct falls without the logistics of arranging transport between them. Choose the option with lunch included if you prefer meals sorted; pick transport only if you'd rather decide where and what to eat as the day unfolds.
Bali beaches & Uluwatu Temple tour: Kecak fire dance at sunsetA private tour of Southern Bali's beaches and cultural sites, departing from your hotel in Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu or other areas, with stops at Nusa Dua's Pantai Mengiat beach, Water Blow, Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, Padang Padang beach, and Uluwatu Temple. The tour includes hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, bottled water and WiFi; you choose whether to add temple and park entry tickets at checkout. The day runs about 10 hours, timed to reach Uluwatu Temple by 4:30pm so you can watch the traditional Kecak performance at 6pm on the clifftop.Is it for me?Choose the option with tickets included if you want to enter both the temple and the cultural park; pick the exclude-tickets option if you'd rather spend your time and budget on the beaches and the Kecak show alone. The half-day tour shortens the itinerary if a full 10 hours is too long for your schedule.
Bali: Private Car & Driver Charter with Custom ItineraryYou’ll set your own pace exploring Bali with a private car and English-speaking driver—visit temples like Tirta Empul, relax at Jimbaran Beach or wander markets as you like. Local insights and spontaneous stops make each trip feel personal. Includes hotel pickup, flexible itinerary and space for up to six friends or family members.
2-hour private surf lesson Canggu: Learn with a local proA two-hour private surf lesson on Canggu Beach in Seminyak with personal instruction from an experienced local coach. You start with basics on the sand, then move into the water to practice catching waves. The instructor checks the forecast the day before to pick the best time and conditions for your session, and adjusts the lesson to your level—beginner, intermediate or advanced. Groups stay small, up to five people, and children are welcome from age nine.Is it for me?Book this lesson if you want personal attention from someone who has spent decades in the water—Curly adjusts the pace and focus to your level, so you're not following a script or moving faster than your body can learn. The small group size and flexible scheduling mean the lesson fits your arrival time and energy, not the other way around.
Ziplining in Ubud: 4 Swings, Zipline & Sky BikeZiplining in Ubud at U Fun Field combines three separate activities—swings, a scenic zipline, and a Sky Bike—set in a private 40,000-square-meter rice terrace away from crowds. A guide leads a cultural walk through the terraces, and six photo spots with props let you capture the moment. Each ticket grants access to one activity; the ALL 4 Games package unlocks all three plus the Sky Cycle.Is it for me?Pick the ALL 4 Games package if you want all three activities in one session; choose a transfer option if your hotel is in Ubud or elsewhere in Bali and you'd rather not arrange your own ride. The park sits on a private rice terrace away from crowds, so the photo spots and cultural walk are quieter than the main Tegallalang terraces nearby.
Ubud: Lazy Cave Tubing & ATV Adventure with Hotel PickupYou’ll float gently through Ubud’s jungle caves on a lazy river tubing adventure with a local guide—no experience needed—then dry off and choose to tackle muddy trails by ATV if you want more action. With hotel pickup included and all gear provided, it’s an easygoing way to see Bali’s wild side without stress or crowds.
Lempuyang Temple & Tegalalang Rice Tour: Bali LandmarksA private full-day tour of East Bali that visits Lempuyang Temple, Tirta Gangga, Tukad Cepung Waterfall and Tegalalang Rice Terrace with a live English or Malay-speaking guide, private transport, bottled water and temple sarong included.

Pickup is included, and you choose your group size (2, 3, or 4+ people) at checkout.Is it for me?Book this private tour if you want a driver and guide handling all logistics while you visit four major East Bali landmarks in one day—ideal if you prefer not to navigate between sites or manage entrance details yourself.
Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour with Black Lava & Hot SpringsIf you want to catch Bali’s sunrise without hiking for hours, this private Mount Batur jeep tour is perfect. You’ll see sunrise from the summit, explore black lava fields with a local guide, and choose your own finish—hot springs soak or hidden waterfall? It’s all up to you.
ATV Ride and Snorkeling from Kuta: Blue Lagoon Beach AdventureThis eight-hour activity from Kuta combines two hours of ATV riding through Bongkasa village—crossing jungle, rice paddies, river and muddy tracks—with snorkeling at Blue Lagoon Beach on Bali's east side. You choose between single ride (one person per bike) or tandem (two per bike), and the package includes an English-speaking driver, lunch, snorkeling gear, boat transfer to two snorkeling spots, and hotel pickup. Not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy or serious heart conditions.Is it for me?Choose single ride if you want your own bike and full control of the throttle; pick tandem if you'd rather share the experience and the bike with a friend or family member. Either way, the two-hour ATV section and the snorkeling are the same, so the choice is about how you want to ride, not what you'll see.
Besakih Temple & Penglipuran Village tour with waterfallThis private tour visits Besakih Temple, Bali's largest, perched on Mount Agung's slope with views of the volcano; Kehen Temple, built in the 13th century; Penglipuran Village, Indonesia's cleanest village where no cars are allowed; and Tukad Cepung, a hidden waterfall tucked under a cave. Your driver-guide speaks English, handles photography, and arranges hotel pickup and drop-off. The day runs 8 to 10 hours and includes lunch, entrance fees, a traditional sarong for temple entry, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Menstruating women are not permitted to enter temples; travelers should have moderate fitness and are not advised if pregnant or dealing with spinal or cardiovascular concerns.Is it for me?This tour involves 8 to 10 hours of walking through villages and temple grounds, plus wading through water at the waterfall, so it suits travelers with moderate fitness who are comfortable on their feet for most of the day. If you're menstruating, pregnant, or managing spinal or cardiovascular concerns, this itinerary is not the right fit.
Bali Waterfall, Volcano & Ubud Tour: Mount Batur Views with LunchA private guided tour of Bali covering Tegenungan Waterfall, Tirta Empul Temple, Kintamani highlands with Mount Batur views, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and Ubud Palace, with an English-speaking guide, buffet lunch and hotel pickup included. The route runs 10 to 12 hours and moves by air-conditioned minivan between stops. You walk the waterfall path on concrete steps with safety rails, bathe at the temple's holy springs if you choose, and see the active volcano and crater lake from the restaurant where lunch is served.Is it for me?The tour moves at a steady pace with short walks and frequent stops, so it suits a first visit to Bali or a free day when you want to see the highlands and cultural sites without driving yourself. Early start and a full day mean you'll cover a lot of ground, but the minivan does most of the travel and lunch breaks the afternoon.
Ubud Ziplining and Jungle Swing: Rice Terrace ViewsA half-day ziplining and jungle swing activity in Ubud where you operate the equipment over rice terraces, learn about the irrigation system from a guide, swim at Ulu Petanu Waterfalls, and finish with coffee and tea. Hotel pickup and safety tools are included; minimum weight is 40kg and maximum is 100kg. Bring a towel and swimming clothes.Is it for me?The six-hour window leaves room for breakfast before pickup and a late lunch after drop-off, so it slots into a half-day without eating into the rest of your itinerary. If you want a full-day experience with a meal included, look for a longer tour; if you have only a few hours free, this one will feel rushed.
Tirta Empul Temple Tour with Spiritual Cleansing Ritual in UbudThis tour takes you from Ubud Palace to Tirta Empul Temple for a guided exploration of its three courtyards and participation in the Melukat spiritual cleansing ritual, where you enter the sacred spring fountains under step-by-step guidance. A licensed English-speaking guide provides the cultural context—the history of the temple, the purpose of each purification fountain, and the significance of the ritual in Balinese Hindu tradition—so you understand what you're doing and why. The tour includes pickup and drop-off at Ubud Palace, traditional sarong and sash, offerings and flowers, admission, and a towel; the full experience lasts around three hours depending on crowds and temple activities.Is it for me?The ritual involves entering water and moving through fountains, so you'll need to be comfortable wading and getting wet. The tour moves at a pace set by the guide's explanations and the crowds at the temple rather than by walking distance, making it suitable for most fitness levels, but the time at Tirta Empul can stretch longer than two hours depending on how many visitors are there and whether religious ceremonies are underway—plan for flexibility rather than a fixed schedule.
Ubud: ATV Quad Bike Adventure with Waterfall & TunnelYou’ll ride an ATV quad bike through Ubud’s lush rice fields, splash under a real waterfall, and rumble through a 700-meter tunnel with a local guide leading the way. With lunch included and all safety gear provided (plus pickup if you want), you’ll get muddy, laugh hard, and see Bali from angles you’ll remember long after the engine stops.
East Bali: Fishing & Snorkeling Tour with Local GuideYou’ll start your day meeting salt farmers in Kusamba before heading east for fishing or snorkeling at Virgin Beach with a local guide. Enjoy fresh-cooked lunch by the sea, time to relax or swim, plus hotel pickup and flexible timing — all wrapped up in real Balinese warmth you’ll remember long after you leave.
Snorkeling Nusa Penida Island from Bali: Manta Bay & Crystal BaySnorkeling around Nusa Penida Island from Bali puts you in the water at three separate sites — Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Gamat Bay — with hotel pickup, speedboat transfer, snorkeling gear and underwater GoPro footage all included. You choose between a private boat or a shared one at checkout. The activity runs two hours in the water, with the full day from pickup to drop-off taking roughly six and a half hours.Is it for me?Book the private boat option if you want to control the pace and the group size; the shared boat keeps the cost lower and puts you with other snorkelers on the same route. Either way, the two-hour snorkeling window and the fixed boat schedule mean you're in the water at the same three sites and back to your hotel by early afternoon — no building an itinerary yourself.
West Bali Private Tour: Waterfall, Handara Gate & Ulun Danu TempleIf you want to see Bali beyond the usual spots, this tour takes you through quiet temples, mountain lakes, and hidden waterfalls—all with a local guide who knows the best photo stops and snack stalls along the way.
