Bali Private Couple Tour — Custom Day Trip from Ubud to Temples, Waterfalls & Rice Terraces
Select participants and date
You step into the morning and your driver is waiting—air-conditioning humming, cold water in the cup holder, the road unfolding like a promise. The day is yours: five stops, one route, and a local guide who knows where the light catches a temple gate and where the river dares you to step closer. From Ubud’s humid lanes the vehicle climbs toward misty highlands, then slides back down to coastal cliffs where the ocean pushes at rock like a persistent storyteller.

Adventure Tips
Start at first light
Beat the heat and crowds by leaving at sunrise—temples like Ulun Danu and Lempuyang are quieter and the mountain light is best early.
Temple dress code
Carry a sarong or ask your guide—many temple sites require covered knees and shoulders; sarongs are often available for rent but bringing one saves time.
Footwear for waterfalls
Wear shoes with grip for short but slippery approaches to waterfalls like Kanto Lampo; expect uneven stone steps and muddy paths.
Cash for local purchases
Bring small denominations of IDR for market purchases, temple donations, and roadside snacks—ATMs are not always nearby.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Long-tailed macaques at Ubud Monkey Forest

History
Many of the palaces and water gardens you’ll visit were built by the Karangasem royalty in the early 20th century; Subak irrigation has guided rice farming for centuries and is still a living cultural practice.
Conservation
Visitors are encouraged to stay on paths, avoid leaving litter (plastic is a major problem), and support local conservation by choosing refillable bottles and buying from community-run warungs or cooperatives.
