The experience

Your driver-guide collects you from wherever you're staying (hotel, villa, apartment, airport or port) at the time you choose. They act as your personal photographer throughout the day on request. The route moves through Ubud's most visited sites, starting with the Ubud Monkey Forest, a 14th-century habitat set in the heart of the town where bands of macaques roam freely. Your guide shows you how to interact with them safely before you move north to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site shaped by the Balinese Subak irrigation system. You walk the slope across the valley and watch local farmers at work depending on the season.

After the rice fields comes the jungle swing, where you sit above the forest canopy with lunch overlooking the same landscape. The meal gives you time to reconnect with where your food comes from. From there, the day deepens into Balinese spiritual culture at Tirta Empul Temple, located 700 meters above sea level. The holy spring complex lets you purify your body and soul by taking a dip in the pool. The operator recommends spending time walking the outside sections before or after. Your final stop is Tegenungan Waterfall, a 50-foot cascade set in a lush valley. A five-minute walk down a well-maintained trail of about 100 steps brings you to the base, where you can swim, photograph and explore at your own pace before your driver takes you back.

What is the Ubud Monkey Forest actually like when I get there?

Ubud Monkey Forest is a 14th-century habitat and conservation center in the busiest part of Ubud where bands of macaques roam freely. Your guide teaches you how to interact with them safely, and the site demonstrates how humans and nature coexist in a space where the spiritual and physical worlds meet.

Can I swim at Tegenungan Waterfall, or is it just for photos?

What happens at Tirta Empul Temple?

Tirta Empul Temple is a holy spring complex at 700 meters above sea level where you can purify your body and soul by bathing in the pool. The operator recommends spending time walking the outside sections of the temple before or after your dip to take in the full experience.

Does this tour include lunch?

Lunch is included in the all-inclusive option. You eat overlooking the forest after the jungle swing. If you choose the no-lunch version, you skip this meal but keep all other stops and inclusions.

How does the driver-guide act as a photographer?

Your English-speaking driver-guide takes photographs for you on request throughout the day, so you can be in the pictures rather than always holding the camera.

What's the walk like at Tegenungan Waterfall?

The walk to Tegenungan Waterfall is fairly easy: about 100 steps down a well-maintained pathway that takes roughly five minutes. You descend through a green valley panorama before reaching the cascade.
