About this tour

The Ubud you came to Bali for — Monkey Forest cheek, Tegalalang’s emerald staircases, a hidden jungle waterfall, and the blessing pools at Tirta Empul, on a paced day that actually lets you linger.

Why guests pick this tour

You’re booking this for sacred monkey forest sanctuary and tegalalang rice terrace walk (pakudui village side) — and we keep the group small so the pace actually fits you. Our drivers know the quieter entrances, the right time of day for each stop, and which spots to skip when crowds build up.

What the day actually looks like

Total day: roughly 9 hours door-to-door. In order, you’ll see: Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, then Tegalalang Rice Terrace, then Ulu Petanu Waterfall, then Tirta Empul Water Temple. Your driver-guide paces the day against traffic and crowd flow — if a stop is busier than usual, we’ll flip the order to hit the next one first.
