The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel across Bali (Ubud, Gianyar, Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua or Denpasar), and moves through six stops in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Celuk Village comes first, where you watch gold and silver artisans at work and can buy direct from them. Then Tegenungan Waterfall, where the roar of the water carries through the jungle around it.

Tirta Empul Temple, built in the 11th century, sits in a lush garden and is known as the purification temple. From there, Tegalalang Rice Terrace opens up in tiered paddies across the hillside: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk the terraces or just stand and take in the scale of it. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary holds hundreds of Balinese long-tailed monkeys that move freely through the trees and temples. They are used to visitors but still wild. The tour ends with free time in Ubud center: the Art Market sells locally made goods and souvenirs, and the Ubud Palace shows the original Balinese architecture the town was built on.

Your guide speaks English and drives, so the stops flow without you navigating or waiting for group transport. A traditional Balinese sarong is provided for temple visits, and bottled water comes with you all day. The tour runs 9 to 10 hours total. If you book the version with entrance fees, they are covered. If you book without them, you pay at each site. Lunch is available for purchase, as is entry to the optional jungle swing.

Is this one for you?Book the tour with entrance fees if you want to move through all six stops without stopping to pay at each one. Book without entrance fees if you prefer to pay as you go or want to skip a site. The private vehicle and guide mean the pace stays steady and you do not wait for group departures, which matters if your hotel is far from Ubud center or if you want to spend longer at one stop without holding others back.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 11 years); Infant (under 3): free.

What is Celuk Village and why do people visit it?

Celuk Village is famous for its gold and silver handicrafts, especially jewelry. The tour takes you there to watch artisans at work and buy directly from them, so you see the craft happening and can take pieces home without a middleman.

How close do you get to the monkeys at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary?

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is home to hundreds of Balinese long-tailed monkeys that roam freely among the trees and temples, so you walk among them. They are accustomed to visitors but remain wild animals.

Is lunch included in this tour?

Lunch is not included in the base tour price but is available for purchase during the day, so you can add it at checkout or decide once you are on the tour.

What is the difference between the two tour options?

The tour with entrance fees option includes all site entry fees. The tour without entrance fees option does not, so you pay at each location. Both include hotel pickup, transport, guide, sarong and water.

Do I need to bring anything for the temple visits?

A traditional Balinese sarong is provided for temple visits, so you do not need to bring one or worry about dress code at Tirta Empul Temple.
