The experience

The day starts in Ubud's art market, where batik, silver, wood carvings and paintings fill the stalls. From there, the guide takes you into the jungle to the Sacred Monkey Forest, a network of trails and walkways winding through forest with monkeys of all ages and ancient stone carvings. The forest sits deep enough that the main town feels far away, and the guide explains the customs and culture of the area as you move through it.

After the forest, you drive to Tanah Lot Temple, which rises from a jutting rock above the ocean on Bali's coast. The temple is one of the island's most sacred and most photographed sites. The route between stops winds through lush rice fields and jungle roads that show a side of Bali most visitors miss. Your guide is a local English speaker, and the van is air-conditioned. The driver handles all parking. The full day is 10 hours, and you'll need to arrange entrance tickets to the sites separately.
