    A perfect home away from home in Bali

    Excellent stay! The peaceful ambiance made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We truly appreciated the warm welcome and the exceptional hospitality throughout our stay. Although it is a shared property with the owners, they made us feel completely comfortable and respected our privacy. Their local knowledge and kindness added a personal touch that made our trip even more memorable. We would happily recommend this place to anyone visiting Bali and would love to stay here again!

    Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at Rp 900,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Ubud is not rushed.

    Is Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?

    +

    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 Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?

    +

    Around 9 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 Ubud 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 Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall 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 Ubud 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 Ubud?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). 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 Ubud?

    +

    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 Ubud?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?

    +

    Included: Traditional outfit for visit the temple; Private transportation; Hotel pick up and transfer; Bottled water; and Private Driver/Guide. Not included: Lunch; Breakfast; Gratuities; and Entrance tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 430 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bali Sunrise Without Hiking: Temples, Rice Terraces & Waterfall if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
