The day opens with a car winding out of Ubud's palm-lined streets toward a river valley; spray from Tegenungan waterfall dares you closer while the rainforest hums overhead. Later, long-tailed macaques chatter through the shade of the Ubud Monkey Forest as stone shrines and mossy roots claim the trail. The tour closes on the black volcanic rocks of Tanah Lot, where the ocean presses against an offshore temple and the low sun sharpens silhouettes.
