Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace, and Water Temple

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,160 reviews · from $31Our pick

Review of Ubud’s private day tour with Monkey Forest, jungle swing, rice terraces, Tegenungan Waterfall, and Tirta Empul Temple.

“I had an amazing experience exploring Ubud with our tour guide, Wayan. He took me and my friend to the Monkey Forest, the jungle swing, the rice terraces, and the beautiful water temple—and made every moment unforgettable. Wayan was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and patient. He shared local insights, helped us take great photos, and made sure we were comfortable and having fun the entire day. It truly felt like a personalized experience rather than just a tour. If you’re visiting Ubud and want a guide who is professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Balinese culture, I highly recommend Wayan. He made our trip so special!”

Review of Ubud’s waterfalls, temples, rice terraces, jungle swing, lunch, private transport, value, walking, and practical tips.

“It was a beautiful trip, and the driver vas very good and nice. But we spent the first 1,5 hours going to a jewellery factory and a coffee plantation, which was not on the itinerary. The coffe plantation was ok to experience, but the jewellery factory was not. It felt like I was there only to spend money, which was not OK and it was kind of uncomfortable. So unnecessary to spend that much time. The rest of the trip was very good, and I loved the waterfalls and the temple.”

Review of Bali’s Ubud day tour, with Tegenungan Waterfall, rice terraces, temples, monkeys, market stops, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“My guide was Johnny. First we went to the Tegenungan waterfall, before driving to Ubud, where we visited the monkey forest, the Saraswati temple and also the palace. We walked through the market, but he recommended to buy souvenirs somewhere else, which was a very good advice from him. I booked for lunch, which was in a restaurant near the Tengalalang rice terrace, which we also visited. The restaurant was a nice place with good food. Then he was driving me to the places, that he recommended to buy souvenirs. One was a gallery, where you can buy paintings from local artists, the other place where they make silver jewels…”

“This was both my wife's and my first trip to Bali and thanks to VIATOR Tours it has become a very memorable one for us.

Wayan collected us from our Hotel at the appointed time and with excellent English gave us a menu of local craft villages we may like to visit. We selected a visit to local art centre and were thrilled to have had a selection of excellent paintings at excellent prices without any necessity to buy. As we continued our tour Wayan answered honestly the many questions we had in…”
