Yes, Tegalalang Rice Terrace is worth visiting, particularly when the terraces are green. It's Bali's best-known rice field vista, and an Instagram favorite; whether you're posing among the green shoots or on a jungle swing, the colors can be mesmerizing. Exploring with a guide doesn't just simplify logistics—it can help you find a time to visit that beats the worst of the crowds, and see a wealth of other Ubud sights as well.

Per one customer who booked the Private Ubud Sightseeing Tour, "The itinerary itself covered all the best spots in Ubud. We started with a fascinating look at a traditional Balinese house compound, then headed to the Sacred Monkey Forest where Enawan guided us safely among the macaques. At the Tegalalang Rice Terrace and the Tegenungan Waterfall, he made sure we got great views without having to do any strenuous hiking in the rain. We also had a wonderful lunch overlooking the jungle at D'Alas Warung and experienced the deeply spiritual atmosphere at Tirta Empul Temple. Enawan truly acted as our personal photographer and protector for the day."

At Tegalalang Rice Terrace, you can hike around the terraces using the pathways and stairs, ride the Sky Bike (a bicycle suspended in mid-air by two cables), and soar over the terraces in a swing. Nearby, sample some of the world's most expensive coffee at a luwak (civet) coffee plantation.
