The experience
The day starts at your hotel and moves through five distinct stops, each revealing a different side of Ubud. Batuan Temple opens with the architecture and gate that define a Balinese village sanctuary. Tegenungan Waterfall comes next: a green river gorge where you can swim or simply stand in the spray. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a shaded forest path where monkeys, birds, lizards and butterflies move through the canopy. Three temples within the forest mark it as a place where local people gather for ceremony. Your guide walks the route and explains what you're seeing, not rushing between stops.
The afternoon centers on two experiences that anchor the tour's appeal. The jungle swing suspends you above the forest and rice field view in a single arc: the moment most travelers come back to when they describe the day. Afterward, Tegalalang's rice terraces spread across the hillside in stepped rows, with farmers working the paddies below. You have time to walk and photograph before moving to Ubud's art market, where the stalls hold woodcarvings, textiles, paintings and crafts made by local artisans. The market is dense and unguided. Your driver waits while you browse.
Transport is private throughout. An air-conditioned car picks you up from your accommodation and handles parking at each stop. Your English-speaking guide manages the route and timing, so the day holds together without you navigating between sites or negotiating entry fees. Bottled water is provided. The full tour runs seven to eight hours from pickup to return.
Top questions
What is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary like when you walk through it?
The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a shaded forest path where you walk among monkeys, birds, lizards and butterflies moving through the canopy. Three temples sit within the forest, marking it as a place where local people come to pray during special ceremonies. It is a working sanctuary, not a zoo.
Can I swim at Tegenungan Waterfall?
Yes. Tegenungan Waterfall sits in a green river gorge and is worth visiting for swimming or sightseeing. You have time to get in the water or stay dry, depending on what you want.
What happens at the jungle swing?
The jungle swing suspends you above the forest and rice terrace view. You soar high on the swing and can photograph the moment. The swing fee is included in the tour price.
Is lunch included in this tour?
Lunch is not included. The tour runs seven to eight hours, and you will have time to eat at a restaurant your guide can recommend, or you can bring your own food.

Your private driver picks you up directly from your hotel or accommodation at the start of the tour and returns you at the end. You'll need to provide your hotel name, address and phone number when you book.
What is the minimum age for the jungle swing?
