Spare yourself the stress and risk of self-driving Bali on this private door-to-door tour. Soak in volcanic hot springs, enjoy lunch with a view of the Batur volcano, tour a coffee plantation, and see four key highlights of Ubud: Tegenungan Waterfall, Elephant Cave, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

Perched on a cliff along Bali’s south coast, Uluwatu Temple is a sacred Hindu temple and a popular destination. Visit during sunset to independently explore the temple at its most atmospheric. Combine the visit with a spectacular Kecak Fire show at the temple, a visit to Padang Padang Beach, and enjoy a beachfront dinner (own expense) at Jimbaran Bay afterwards before returning to your hotel.

Climbing Mt. Batur for sunrise is a signature Bali experience but requires a very early start. Avoid the risk of driving through the night when you book this no-frills package that includes the mandatory guide, breakfast on the mountain, a coffee plantation visit after your hike, and 2-way transfers from hotels in Ubud and much of south Bali. Upgrade to make this a private tour (minimum two people required).

Unless you’re an Indonesia veteran, driving in Bali is both stressful and dangerous. So let your professional driver/guide take the strain on this full-day private guided tour.

Please note: all meals and entrance fees are at your own expense.

Uluwatu boasts some of Bali’s most beautiful sunset views and this tour takes you to one of the best spots. With a private guide, head to the Uluwatu Temple for a panoramic view of the sunset. Then, watch a Kecak and fire cultural performance before heading to a local restaurant for a delicious seafood dinner. The tour is wheelchair and stroller accessible, with transportation designed for easier access.

Bali’s east coast is an idyllic spot for snorkeling, with far fewer crowds than the south and west coast, but finding the right tour to show you all the areas you don’t want to miss can be tricky. During this small-group tour, you visit two top snorkel sites—Blue Lagoon and Tanjung Jepun—to swim and snorkel with an expert snorkeling instructor to make sure everyone stays safe and has fun.

Make your Bali vacation even more blissful by exploring the island on your own terms. Travel by private air-conditioned luxury car or minivan and be assisted by an English-speaking driver.

Pickup is included as well as fuel charges. See areas of service in the Inclusions section.

A rugged isle in the straits between Bali and Lombok, Penida Island is one of Bali’s top photo locations.

Hit Nusa Penida’s big four sights: Pasih Uug Beach, a collapsed sea cave, Kelingking Beach, an Instagram icon, Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool, and white sand Crystal Bay.

Bali is a big place with little public transport. Between the hordes of scooters, giant tour buses, and assertive trucks, it’s a challenging island to drive—even if you’re used to the left side. Enjoy all the flexibility of independent travel without the self-drive risks by chartering a reliable professional driver for the day, direct from your door. You plan your own itinerary: Navigation and parking is his problem.

Combine Balinese culture with adventure on a full-day downhill cycling tour from Ubud. After hotel pickup, you’ll travel to the dramatic landscapes surrounding the Kintamani volcano to enjoy a coffee-tasting session, breakfast and scenic vistas of Lake Batur. Then, you’ll cycle downhill for 3.5 hours through rural villages and picturesque scenery. Stop to listen to commentary from your guide and to visit a local family compound and then conclude your tour with a Balinese lunch and drop-off at your Ubud hotel.

Bali's cultural and spiritual capital, Ubud is a must for any visitor to the island, but you needn't spend a long day exploring it. This shorter day trip hits four essential highlights: Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace (Puri Saren), the art market, and beautiful Tegenungan Waterfall. Two-way private transfers from hotels in Ubud and much of south Bali ensure you get there as quickly as possible.

Your day features a kayak trip and an Indonesian lunch buffet, but government fees are at your expense.

Pair Lempuyang Temple, home of the Instagram favorite Gates of Heaven, with the Blue Lagoon, offering some of mainland Bali's best snorkeling, on this private door-to-door adventure.

After, visit a coffee plantation to learn how Balinese people make coffee.

Ubud is a popular tourist destination in Bali, thanks to its variety of cultural and natural attractions.

Take a stroll in some of Ubud’s most-photographed rice terraces. Book the transport-only package or upgrade to include entrance fees.

Self-driving Bali is not for the faint-hearted. Relax with the ease of a private chauffeur on these door-to-door day trips. Opt to explore Ubud, including rice terraces, a waterfall, an art gallery, the art market, and Ubud Palace. Or couple Ubud’s rice fields and a waterfall with stops at the Gates of Heaven and Tirta Gangga Water Garden. You can even opt to add a session on a Bali swing.

There’s so much to see in Bali that a 2-day tour program isn’t enough. This 5-day package devotes a day to each main area: north, east, west, south, and central. Hit signatures from Ubud to the sunset kecak at Uluwatu Temple then capture photos at sites like Handara Gate and Lempuyang Temple. Each day includes entrance fees, lunch or dinner, and private transfers from most south Bali and Ubud addresses.

Enjoy a personalized experience away from large groups, tailored to your interests and schedule.
