    Excursion Ubud 2 days

    Many thanks to our driver Dewa for these two days of discovery with him. Thank you for his kindness and kindness. Despite our very average English he knew how to find simple and clear words to explain everything. At the small care for its clients, I recommend the agency with eyes closed, super organization. Thank you for all Dewa, to the pleasure ☺️

    A great blend of culture...

    A great blend of culture and spectacular scenery. Our guide Awan was very knowledgeable in the spiritual and history of the temples we visited. Awan gave an in depth explanation in the working of the rice terraces. A wonderful photographer and a very happy personality. Was nice to be in a peaceful and calm environment out of the busy pace in main parts of Ubud. Thoroughly recommend this tour and the wonderful guide and driver Awan.

    Great Tour and Guide

    I booked a last-minute private tour during a public holiday in Bali, and despite a few unexpected challenges, it was a great experience. Our guide skillfully navigated roadblocks caused by ceremonies and even had an umbrella ready when it rained at one of the temples. My only suggestion is to communicate potential disruptions, like road closures or temple access issues, beforehand—this would help travelers manage expectations. For instance, after visiting the rice fields, we had to change our schedule and missed one temple, but ended up at two unique spots, one less touristy and the other quite popular. Overall, I’d recommend them for their flexibility and local knowledge. Just be sure to check for any holiday-related disruptions in advance!

    Full Day Tour to Water Temples 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 UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali cost?

    +

    Prices start at $42 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 UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali 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 Ubud is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Tour to Water Temples UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Full Day Tour to Water Temples 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 UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali 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 Full Day Tour to Water Temples UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali?

    +

    Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour to Water Temples 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.

    What is included in Full Day Tour to Water Temples UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali?
