Spend a day combining adrenaline, culture and nature on an Ubud loop: soar on a jungle swing, cool off under a waterfall, walk the sculpted rice terraces of Tegalalang and visit the Sacred Monkey Forest. This well-paced private tour packs Bali’s landscape and stories into eight memorable hours.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light in central Bali arrives like a warm hand, softening the ridgelines and turning the rice terraces a living green. On a typical full-day Ubud loop you step out of an air-conditioned van into that light — the first stop a pair of wooden planks and a rope swing that launches you over a steep drop of jungle, the world opening beneath your feet. A shutter clicks, laughter rises, and the jungle seems to lean in, curious.

Secure loose items around monkeys
The macaques are quick and curious — keep phones, sunglasses and bags zipped and avoid dangling jewelry near the monkeys.
