Spend a day in Ubud visiting Celuk’s artisan workshops, the Monkey Forest, rice-field lookouts and a 1.5 km river tubing run that passes through a short dark cave. Expect hotel pickup, a safety briefing, and a mix of cultural stops and hands-on river fun.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the shuttle onto a narrow lane flanked by palms and carved wood shops; the air smells of incense and wet earth. In Ubud the village pace pulls taut against the rush of tourists, and this full-day loop threads through silver-smithing hamlets, a shady forest sanctuary where macaques move like gossip, and down a small river that dares you through a dark cave.

Non-slip footwear
Wear closed water shoes or sturdy sandals with grip — the riverbed and cave approach can be slippery.
Bring a dry bag
Protect electronics and a change of clothes; you’ll be moving between wet tubing and dry village stops.
Mind the cave
The cave section is unlit — keep your head down, follow your guide’s line, and avoid standing up inside the tube.
Respect the monkeys
Do not feed or provoke macaques in the forest sanctuary; secure loose items and follow park rules.
Water shoes or non-slip sandals
Grip on wet rocks and better control entering/exiting the tube.
Quick-dry clothing and swimwear
Dries fast between river and village stops and is comfortable for tubing.
Dry bag for phone and valuables
Protects electronics during the river section and shuttle rides.
Refillable water bottle
Stay hydrated in Bali’s tropical heat—operators may provide bottled water but refillable is greener.
