The experience
The day starts at your hotel lobby, where your driver meets you for the 10-hour loop through Ubud's main attractions. The Monkey Forest sits just south of the city center: four groups of monkeys move through their own habitat, and the itinerary gives you time to walk among them. From there you head north to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a UNESCO-recognized landscape where you can trek into the padi fields and climb to a bird's nest platform above the terraces for photos. The jungle swing is optional and ticketed separately at the site.
The route then climbs toward Kintamani and Mount Batur, passing through farming villages and stopping for views of the volcano and Lake Batur. At the volcanic hot springs near the crater lake, you can swim in multiple pools, try the water slide and soak in the naturally heated water while looking out at the lake and Abang Hills, towels are provided. Lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the volcano is your own cost, though your driver can suggest stops along the way.
The afternoon takes you to Tirta Empul Temple in the northeast, where spring water feeds the sacred pools, and past Elephant Cave with its ancient carvings of Hindu deities. The tour ends at Tegenungan Waterfall, where you can photograph the green scenery and swim in the river before heading back to your hotel. On the Premium All Inclusive option, all entrance tickets are included. On Essential Sightseeing, you pay entry fees at each attraction as you go.
Is this one for you?Book the Premium All Inclusive option if you want to move through all nine stops without stopping to buy tickets at each one. Your driver handles entry and you walk straight in. Choose Essential Sightseeing if you prefer to pay as you go and have the flexibility to skip a site or spend longer at one without affecting the rest of the schedule.
