Custom Bali Day Trip with Private Driver — Tailored Itineraries from Ubud
Select participants and date
Dawn finds Ubud’s lanes wrapped in mist, the wet rice terraces below breathing cool air into the valley. A small air-conditioned van pulls up and a local driver steps out with a polite nod and a clutch of laminated maps, the kind of person who knows which roadside warung serves the best kopi and which temple will be quiet at noon. The Bali Tailor Trip hands you that local knowledge and the steering wheel — you choose the route, up to five stops, from waterfalls that roar like drums to cliff temples watching the Indian Ocean.

Adventure Tips
List your five must-sees in advance
Use the booking remarks to name up to five stops so the driver can route your day efficiently and avoid long backtracking.
Wear a sarong for temple visits
Carry or rent a sarong and sash for Pura visits — some sites will deny entry without proper temple dress.
Hydrate and carry cash
Bottled water is provided, but pack extras for hot afternoons and small bills for market purchases and temple donations.
Be mindful of tide and surf
If you plan beach stops, check tide times—access to coves like Padang Padang can be tricky at high tide.

History
Many terraces and temple sites reflect centuries of Balinese agrarian practice and Hindu traditions; the subak irrigation system has shaped social and spiritual life since at least the 8th century.
Conservation
Travelers are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen, minimize single-use plastics, and respect temple rules; local operators often support responsible waste practices and community tourism.
