Top Ubud Day Trips

We both loved this tour. The stunning views in every direction really make it worth the challenging but short climb. You gain about 3000 ft in elevation. I definitely recommend wearing sturdy hiking shoes or sneakers for the loose volcanic rock. They help you with everything from the hike to even giving you a hiking stick to borrow. Definitely wear layers as the hike is warm and you will sweat, but it is rather cold at the top. Our guide took us to a natural steam vent that warmed us up. Breakfast includes hot coffee, tea or hot chocolate, a hard boiled egg and a banana sandwich. I believe you can stop at restaurants as well. Definitely get the hiking stick. If you struggle with the climb there are helpful dirtbike drivers who will assist you for additional cost. Bring a dry pair of clothes, swimsuit, and flip flops for the hot springs which are very nice to relax in afterward. Beware fly’s at the hot springs. There are changing areas there. Our driver Gedey was amazing at navigating the mountain roads and let me sleep in the car. Our guide took nearly professional photos us. Such a great memory.

Big thank you to our driver Wayan for being so kind, attentive, and making the whole day smooth and stress-free from start to finish. The rafting experience itself was absolutely amazing — beautiful scenery, fun rapids, and the perfect mix of adventure and excitement. One of the highlights of our Bali trip and something I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting!

From booking with the tour provider, everything was so seamless and easy with clear communication via WhatsApp. Our tour guide Igo was brilliant, kind, punctual and extremely friendly. My husband and I had a great time. Would recommend. When you book ask for Igo, he’s brilliant.

The tour was absolutely amazing and we would recommend it to any group that wants to do it all. The locations that we were taken to lived up to the hype and we walked away with so many memories. It was only made better by the expertise of Wayan Suyasa, our tour guide for the day. We all felt safe during the trip and knew that we were being taken care of by professionals.

We had a wonderful day out to Ubud with Putu as our guide and driver. In 8 hours, we visited a Luwak coffee plantation, the Monkey Forest Temple, and finally lunch at Tegallalang. Because of the heavy afternoon tropical downpour, TIS Cafe was full and had a long waiting queue. Putu quickly found us a great warung facing the rice terraces and joined us for lunch. It had both jaw-dropping views and great food, and we learned much about him and Balinese life in our lunchtime conversation. Kudos to Putu for a highly memorable day out to these Ubud highlights. We have great respect and appreciation for the way he drove us safely in the chaotic and busy roads of Bali. As a guide he was knowledgeable and kindly helped take numerous group photos for us. He even gave us a Polaroid photo souvenir from his personal camera to remember the day. Putu also accommodated an impromptu request for some shopping in the Tegallalang area. We highly recommended him as your guide and driver for a great day out. Terima kasih Putu!

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.

ROBBY was a great tour guide. He communicated prior to his arrival, he was on time and immediately made us feel comfortable. He is an excellent driver and that is really remarkable with the traffic in Bali!. He was good with his conversation, and very informative, able to answer all of our questions. I appreciate his ability to manage our time appropriately. I would choose him as our tour guide anytime!

The driver was on time and ready to go, which made my early morning departure stress-free. He even communicated ahead of time to confirm the pickup, which was reassuring. The vehicle was in good condition—clean and comfortable—and the ride was calm and safe, with no reckless driving. A simple, efficient service that delivered exactly what was promised.
