Ubud Private Custom Tour: Build Your Own Bali Day

You decide what happens each hour, not a fixed itinerary.

A private custom tour from Seminyak lets you shape a full day around Ubud and central Bali's main sites (waterfalls, temples, rice terraces, the Monkey Forest, markets and jungle swings) with a private English-speaking driver who adapts to your choices. You pick which stops matter, how long to stay at each one, and whether to add destinations beyond the suggested plan. The driver recommends routes and timing but the day is always yours to build.

The experience

The tour starts with hotel pickup in a private air-conditioned car. A suggested itinerary covers the main draws: Tegenungan Waterfall for photos and easy access to the water, a traditional Balinese temple, the Ubud Monkey Forest where you walk among playful monkeys in jungle surroundings, the historic Ubud Palace in the town center, the Ubud Art Market for local handicrafts, Tegalalang Rice Terrace for the landscape, and a Bali swing spot with jungle views. You can follow this plan as written or strip it down to just the stops that matter to you.

The real flexibility is that nothing is locked. Skip the market if you want more time at the waterfall. Add a lunch stop the driver knows. Spend an extra hour at the rice terraces for photography. Swap in a different temple or ask to visit a village outside the standard route. The driver gives recommendations based on what you're after (whether that's culture, photos, adventure or a mix), but you're making the calls. The 10-hour window runs from 9am to 7pm, and the driver will map the most efficient route once you've decided what you want to see.

Inclusions are the private car with air conditioning, bottled water, parking fees, and the driver's time and local knowledge. Entrance tickets to attractions and lunch are separate. If you want to venture into long-distance areas like Lempuyang or Amed, there's an extra charge of USD $30 per vehicle. Anything beyond the standard 10 hours runs USD $10 per hour, paid directly to the driver.

Top questions

Can I visit Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tegenungan Waterfall on the same day?

Yes. Both are included in the suggested itinerary and sit within the central Bali coverage area. Your driver will route them efficiently based on your other stops and how long you want to spend at each one.

What's included in the tour price?

The private car with air conditioning, hotel pickup, bottled water, parking fees, and your English-speaking driver's time and route planning are all included. Entrance tickets to attractions and meals are separate.

Can I change the itinerary on the day itself?

Yes. The whole point is that you decide what happens. If you want to skip a stop, stay longer somewhere, or add a destination once you're out, tell the driver and they'll adjust the route. The day adapts to what you actually want to do.

How many people can fit in the private car?

You choose at checkout: the tour accommodates groups of up to 4, 5, 7, or 15 people, each in a separate private vehicle sized for that group.

What if I want to visit places outside Ubud and the main Bali areas?

Long-distance destinations like Lempuyang, Amed, Lovina or Munduk are not in the standard tour but can be added for an extra USD $30 per vehicle, subject to driver approval. The driver will let you know if it's feasible within your time window.

Is there a guide who walks around with us at each stop?

Your driver is English-speaking and gives recommendations and local knowledge, but this is a private car tour, not a walking tour with a separate guide at each site. The driver assists with route planning and can suggest what to see, but you explore the attractions at your own pace.
