Kehen Temple is an ancient Hindu temple complex that has unique architectural features. The temple courtyard is reachable from the roadside and up 38 flights of stairs. Carved sandstone statues depicting mythical animals and Balinese folklore figures adorn the staircases and the central vestibule. The temple’s walls are also ornate with porcelain plates, harking back to the historical relationship between the local Balinese kingdom and China. ** Includes approximate drive time

Penglipuran Village
Penglipuran village is a beautiful highland village in the regency of Bangli in East Bali, best known for its well-preserved layout and culture. While most of its residents have embraced modernity, its individual compounds are well-kept to look traditional. Manicured gardens line the single stone-paved street that runs through the centre of the village toward the local temple, and age-old arched entrance gates and walls conceal each house. ** Includes approximate drive time

Penglipuran Bamboo Forest
The bamboo forest in the Penglipuran Traditional Village has an area of tens of hectares. In this forest, fourteen types of bamboo grow. When you enter the forest area, you will see an information board that lists the bamboo that grows in the forest. There are also endemic bamboo species native to Bali. In the bamboo forest, you can enjoy the cool breeze and the musical sound of the leaves. The wind makes tree trunks rub against each other so that they make sounds like an irregular musical ensemble. ** Includes approximate drive time

Great tour with very knowledgeable and nice guide
We took a tour from Kuta to Kehen Temple, Pengilipuran Village, a coffee farm, the rice terasses near Ubud and an extra stop at a wood carver. We can highly recommend the tour, Forever Vacation and - most of all - our guide Sutha. Sutha told us a lot about Bali's culture, history and the life on the island. It was great fun and Sutha was really great with our son, who loved him. Thanks a lot! We hope to return and take another tour with Sutha.
Response from the operator: Hi Lukas! :) Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us and Sutha! We take pride in our commitment to providing personalized service, and it's great to know that your Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour was tailored to your exact needs and exceeded your expectations. We're glad that we could be a part of making your journey a memorable one, and we're thrilled that you had a great time.

Ask for Sugara!!!
If the title doesn’t already explain it, ASK FOR SUGARA!! Talk about a humble tour guide that just enjoyed spending time with us. He was on time, paid attention to us, optimized our itinerary, took pictures and so much more. I’ve never had such a truly amazing tour experience than the one I had here with Sugara at Forever Vacations. For starters, he is extremely knowledgeable about Balinese and Hindu culture but he’s also had an opportunity to have visited many places so he truly understood us. He was very patient and did not rush us one bit. Best of all, he really just knew when to give us space and when to get involved. His natural instincts, hospitality, and knowledge made him the best tour guide I’ve experienced in my life!
Response from the operator: Hi There, Thank you so much for your glowing review! It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with Sugara. He truly is an exceptional guide, and we’re thrilled that his knowledge, patience, and natural instincts made your experience so memorable. We’re so glad that Sugara’s efforts, from optimizing your itinerary to sharing his deep understanding of Balinese and Hindu culture, created such a special day for you. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’ll be sure to pass them along to him. We hope to welcome you back soon for more incredible adventures with ForeverVacation! 🌟 Best regards, The ForeverVacation Team 😊

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tanjung Benoa.
How much does Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive) cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tanjung Benoa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive) take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tanjung Benoa is not rushed.
Is Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tanjung Benoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive)?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tanjung Benoa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tanjung Benoa and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali Cultural Heritage Bamboo Forest Tour (Private All Inclusive) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tanjung Benoa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tanjung Benoa?
+
On Outty we rank every Tanjung Benoa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover The Best of Ubud: All-Inclusive and Private Guided Tour, Nusa Penida Snorkeling Adventure (Private & All-Inclusive), All Inclusive : Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling, Lunch, and Transport. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tanjung Benoa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tanjung Benoa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
