Ubud is the soul of Bali — a green world of terraced valleys, artisan villages, and temples wrapped in incense and birdsong. On this private day, your local driver-guide takes you beyond the crowds to the places we love most, at a pace that's entirely your own. It's not a checklist; it's a day spent the way we'd share it with friends.
What to expect
Sacred Monkey Forest
A cool, cathedral-like rainforest in the heart of Ubud, home to more than a thousand cheeky long-tailed macaques and three moss-covered temples. Known in Balinese as Mandala Suci Wenara Wana, it's a living sanctuary the local community has protected for generations — equal parts nature walk and cultural encounter.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace
Bali's most photographed rice fields, spilling down the valley in emerald steps carved by the centuries-old subak irrigation system. Wander the paths between the paddies, watch farmers at work, and take in a view of coconut palms and layered green that feels endless.
Batuan Temple
A serene 11th-century village temple, still lovingly cared for by the people of Batuan. Every gate and shrine is covered in intricate hand-carved stone, crowned with roofs of dark palm fibre — one of the finest, most authentic examples of Balinese temple craft.
Tegenungan Waterfall
A rare lowland waterfall you can reach without a mountain trek — a wide, powerful curtain of water tumbling into a jungle pool. Cool off with a swim, feel the mist, or simply soak up the greenery from the viewing deck above.
Luwak Coffee Plantation
Stroll through a working plantation and see how Bali's legendary Luwak coffee is made, bean to cup. Settle in for a complimentary tasting flight of local coffees, teas and cocoa, with the famous Luwak coffee available to try or take home.
