Spend a full day on two wheels through Ubud’s rice terraces, holy spring temple and secluded waterfalls. This scooter tour blends cultural stops with short rides between scenic, less-visited spots.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick up a ribbon of dust behind the scooter as the morning light slices through palm fronds—Ubud’s lanes move at a different tempo, alive with temple bells, roadside stalls and farmers steering buffalo-drawn carts. This seven-hour loop uses two wheels to turn those intimate, off-the-beaten-track moments into an efficient route: swings and dress rentals near rice fields, terraced Subak systems, the holy spring temple used for water purification, a coffee break in a hilltop cafe, and a plunge at Ulu Petanu (local waterfall).
Difficulty
moderate
Duration
7 hours
Fitness Level

Wildlife
History
The area’s terraces are part of the Subak irrigation tradition, a cooperative system tied to Balinese Hindu practices that dates back centuries.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife; the Subak system depends on reef- and watershed-friendly farming practices, so minimize chemical runoff and respect local agriculture.
