    Water Temple Tour

    Sunarta was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with explaining each temple we visited. The tour was relaxing with Sunarta giving us as much as we needed at each temple. We would highly recommend both the tour guide and tour.

    Perfect day trip!

    We had an absolutely fantastic day trip in Bali, thanks to our wonderful guide, Sakha. From the moment we met him, it was clear how passionate he is about sharing his culture and helping visitors truly understand Bali beyond the typical tourist experience. Throughout the day, Sakha taught us so much about Balinese customs, traditions, language, and daily life. His knowledge was exceptional, and he explained everything with enthusiasm, patience, and a genuine love for his culture. What really impressed us was how he customized our itinerary to make the most of our time. He carefully planned the route to avoid as much of Bali's traffic as possible, allowing us to see and do more without feeling rushed. Thanks to his local expertise, we were able to enjoy a full and memorable day while avoiding unnecessary delays. If you're looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, flexible, and passionate about Bali, we highly recommend Sakha. He made our trip both educational and enjoyable, and we left with a much deeper appreciation of Balinese culture. Thank you, Sakha, for an unforgettable experience!

    Our guide, Dudy, made this a spectacular experience away from the more crowded/touristy areas of Bali.

    We spent the better part of the day with our driver and guide, Dudy, who was magnificent and really took care of us from start to finish. He was full of knowledge and gave us background (and helpfully became our human selfie stick!) on all of our gorgeous stops while allowing us the freedom to do more of what we wanted, and less of what we didn't--we wanted to explore more of the rice fields and were given that leeway, which was so appreciated! Dudy really went above and beyond to make sure we had a spectacular experience and we will always be grateful to him for taking such excellent care of us.

    Response from the operator: Dear morganaus, We are happy to learn that you have enjoyed your trip with one of our driver/tour guide, Dudy. Receiving such a positive comment from our customers surely enough to make the whole team thrilled with delight. Your excellent feedback is greatly appreciated as one of the reasons for us to improve our quality in serving. We would be glad to serve you again in your next trip to Bali. Regards, Wayan

    Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 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 Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2,774 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali?

    +

    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 Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali?

    +

    Around 971 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali 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.
