Top Ubud Day Trips

An absolutely exemplary experience from start to finish. Our visit to the Gate of Heaven was made all the more memorable by our driver, whose professionalism, punctuality, courtesy, and impeccable attention to detail were truly commendable. He navigated the journey with effortless competence, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly while also making us feel genuinely well looked after. His knowledge of the area and thoughtful approach added a wonderful dimension to the excursion, and his calm, accommodating manner was particularly appreciated. The Gate of Heaven itself was spectacular, but having such a capable and gracious driver undoubtedly elevated the entire experience. A thoroughly first-rate service and a driver who deserves the highest praise. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone visiting the area.

Highly recommend this experience but please know it is not an “easy” hike if you do not have a baseline of fitness. You are hiking an active volcano with loose terrain, steep inclines, and an altitude change, you need to be somewhat prepared. With that having been said, AMAZING experience. Our guide was fantastic and made sure we were all safe at all times, the breakfast he made was also great complete with tea! Our driver was also fantastic he was early picking us up, very communicative, and he made us feel safe at all times even with crazy traffic. Overall, highly highly recommend, we did this for our honeymoon and would do again in a heartbeat!

Our cooking class with Tumang Bali Cooking Class was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment Wayan, the owner, picked us up near Ubud Palace, he made us feel like family. We were welcomed with delicious snacks and drinks upon arrival, setting the tone for a warm and authentic experience. Not only did we learn how to prepare nine delicious Balinese dishes, but we also gained a deeper appreciation for Balinese culture. One of the most memorable parts was learning how to make the beautiful traditional offerings and understanding their significance in daily life. It was amazing to see that many of the ingredients we used came directly from Wayan’s farm. Walking through the property and learning about the fresh herbs, spices, and produce added a special touch that you simply won't find in most cooking classes. Wayan made the entire experience both fun and educational, sharing stories, cultural insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. By the end of the class, we felt like we had learned so much more than just cooking. We have taken a cooking class in nearly every country we have visited, and this one stands out by a big margin. We would absolutely take this class again and will be recommending it to all of our friends. If you're looking for an authentic, hands-on, and memorable experience in Bali, Tumang Bali Cooking Class is a must!
