Spend a day moving from rainforest waterfalls to volcano viewpoints and the artful streets of Ubud. This private touring option packs Mount Batur vistas, rice terraces, and the Monkey Forest into a single, customizable day trip.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned van into an island morning where the volcano pins the horizon and rice terraces tilt like folded green pages. The driver-guide points the route — first toward the waterfall where the forest hums, then up to a café overlooking Mount Batur, and later through Ubud’s compact streets where artists work in open studios. Light and shadow move across the valley; the volcano seems to breathe.

Secure valuables around monkeys
Macaques are curious and may grab loose items; keep cameras, sunglasses, and snacks stowed when near the Monkey Forest.
Wear grippy shoes
Waterfall approaches and terrace paths can be slippery — trail- or hiking shoes improve footing and comfort.
Start early for clearer volcano views
Morning light reduces haze around Mt Batur and makes valley viewpoints crisper for photos.
Carry local cash for craft stalls
Many village artisans prefer cash for small purchases — bring smaller denominations for easier transactions.
