Top Ubud Day Trips - page 45

This was one of the coolest things we did all trip! I will say that the hike is no joke. Basically straight uphill for about 2 miles to reach the top. Our guide was amazing and so helpful! She took so many pictures for us and let us stop for breaks when needed. The views were stunning at sunrise and totally worth the hefty hike. Would recommend shoes with serious grip (my partner slipped and scrapped her arm) and a sweatshirt/jacket for the top of the mountain as it gets very cold up there. They do let you rent jackets or blankets (which we did) for a small fee. Overall, it was a great experience!

We had a great time, all our drivers and guides did a great job! We did leave a little bit early but it was nothing to do with the service. It was very crowded at all the locations which is no one’s fault. We had a great time and got a lot of great pictures!

Wayan was an outstanding guide for a wonderful day outside Ubud. He catered to our specific interests skipping and adding stops along the way. We greatly enjoyed discussing real life in Bali with him and got some priceless insights. The lunch was delicious, with gluten-free options for me. Note that the tour includes lots of stairs for both waterfalls and participants should be in good physical shape.

Driver Ary was fantastic—friendly, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. He took us to all the popular sites in Ubud, each of which we thoroughly enjoyed, and we had a delicious lunch along the way. It was a wonderful experience overall, and I would highly recommend this tour

I was picked up in Canggu and did a tour around Ubud (including multiple waterfalls, monkeys, bats, water temple, rice Paddies, wood and silver working shops). A relatively standard version of what to explore when coming from down in Denpasae I think. I had a great day. Putu, my guide and driver was excellent - making practical and helpful recommendations based on where I was staying, where we could easily reach and adjusting some destinations based on what interested me more (for example I'm not a big fan of coffee or tea but do like silver things so we switched the plantation out for a silver workshop). Some practical things to consider (not about this tour specifically and would be relevant for other similar options): - Multiple options of where to go where available? However, the amount of places you will be able to see will depend on how far away you go. For example, going to Eastern Bali from where I was staying near Canggu would have resulted in a much longer drive time and we may only have been able to see 1 or 2 things. This is a trade off you'll need to prioritise. - Some of the stops will be keen on you buying things. This was fine for my stops (I was quite keen on the silver ring I bought at that workshop for example and it supported the local community whereas I wouldn't have bought any coffee so skipped coffee plantation) but if youre on a budget, maybe prioritise the workshops/places where you feel more keen on buying something. A great and reasonably priced way to get out of the city and would recommend.

Our host/driver Manik was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He arrived on time. He was flexible with the schedule and permitted us a stop at a chocolate factory. The UNESCO sites were excellent. Traffic was the Bali classic - a mess but not his fault and he maintained good spirited throughout. Definitely recommend Manik

Great start to the day with on time, and comfy pickup from our hotel in nusa dua. Jaya our driver was friendly and courteous. The drive out to the centre was an hour winding through the town. We were fitted with safety gear and met our guides - Wari and Witra! Friendly guys. The trip down the river was beautiful…lush forest, birds, hidden villas, gentle rapids and a few chances to jump into the river floating with the current. Spectacular waterfalls, a chance to stand under the biggest! You dont need any cash for the stops along the way (coconuts, bintang, soft drinks) as they keep a tab for you. You pay at the end, and remember to tip the guides. Lunch was simple and local. Overall it was a wonderful day. Highly recommend Wayan and his team!

The driver reached out the day before to confirm the pickup, which was reassuring. He arrived on time and was professional throughout. The vehicle was probably the best I had during my entire trip—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Despite Bali’s traffic, the driver navigated smoothly and safely. A great way to end the trip!
