Overview

Spend a day exploring Ubud and soaking in its vibrant culture! This tour takes you to some of Bali’s top attractions, including the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terrace, Tegenungan Waterfall, the Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud’s art market (a great spot for souvenirs), and Tirta Empul Temple, famous for its holy spring.

Start your adventure at the Ubud Monkey Forest, home to over 600 playful long-tailed macaques living in their natural habitat. Snap that must-have selfie with the monkeys, with the help of the friendly staff to make sure you get the perfect shot.

Next, head over to Ubud Palace (also called Puri Saren) and the Ubud Market, just across the main street. This is a fantastic place to dive into Ubud’s culture and pick up some unique Bali souvenirs to bring home.

Then, it’s off to Tegalalang, where you’ll find the stunning Ceking Rice Terrace.

Don’t forget to take a walk along the ridges and grab some gorgeous photos of the lush tropical scenery!

For lunch, stop at D’Alas Restaurant (or another spot of your choice). This Indonesian-style restaurant serves up delicious meals with a breathtaking view of Ubud’s lush jungle. Lunch is available as an add-on for the day.

After lunch, head east to Tirta Empul Temple in Tampak Siring. Watch the spiritual cleansing rituals at this sacred temple and learn about its significance in Balinese culture.

Wrap up the day with a visit to Tegenungan Waterfall. Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s a refreshing spot to enjoy nature. Take a short walk to get closer to the falls and capture some Instagram-worthy shots to end your Ubud adventure on a high note!
