Great tour to get amongst the Balinese culture, the tour guides were very informative.

Nice bike-tour!
We had a wonderful e-bike tour. The guide spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly. Our group included people of different ages, and the guide made sure everyone was comfortable by taking short walking breaks and waiting for those who needed a little more time. We also stopped for a drink, and the swing was a fun extra for taking some great photos. We were picked up from our accommodation and dropped off again afterwards. It wasn’t a problem that we were staying at different hotels. It was a great trip and we highly recommend it! The only downside was booking through Tripadvisor. It seemed as if the date was available and we paid for 9 people. Then it turned out that the spot was not available and it took a lot of effort to cancel. It is now also taking a few days to get the money back.

TOURISTS BEWARE
TOURISTS BEWARE — enjoyable tour, but a deeply disappointing and deceptive ending. The tour itself began very positively. We genuinely enjoyed much of the experience and felt that we had built a warm rapport with our guide. He shared aspects of Balinese culture with us, spoke about sincerity and karma, and created what initially felt like an authentic and thoughtful experience. Unfortunately, that trust made what happened next even more disappointing. Towards the end of the tour, we were taken on a supposed “surprise” visit to a coffee plantation. We were told this was a real plantation where coffee was grown, processed and produced. In reality, it appeared to be a small staged garden display rather than a genuine working coffee plantation. The experience felt carefully designed to give tourists the impression that they were seeing authentic local production, when the products being sold appeared to be mass-produced packaged goods rather than coffee and teas genuinely produced from that site. We were given a “free tasting” of very sweet teas and coffees, then directed towards purchasing expensive packaged products and kopi luwak represented as wild-sourced. The samples we were served did not seem to match the products being sold. The packaged teas and coffees appeared to contain large amounts of sugar, flavourings, fillers and artificial or non-premium ingredients, rather than the pure local products they were presented as. This made the whole experience feel misleading. After researching kopi luwak tourism in Bali afterwards, I became even more uncomfortable with what we had been shown and told. There are well-documented concerns around captive civets, misleading “wild-sourced” claims, and coffee tastings being used as a sales mechanism for tourists. Most distressing was the animal welfare. There was a snake described as a “rescue”, two civets being kept in conditions that appeared completely inappropriate, and a nocturnal fruit bat that looked visibly distressed. Seeing animals used in this way as part of a tourist sales stop was upsetting and completely changed how we felt about the day. What was most disappointing, however, was the feeling of being knowingly exploited after trust and rapport had already been established. We had spent the day believing our guide was being sincere with us, only to then be taken to a place that felt deceptive, unethical and commercially motivated. We later learnt that drivers and guides in Bali are commonly reported to receive commission for bringing tourists to these types of businesses. The experience certainly left us feeling that our trust had been used for someone else’s personal gain. That is what felt most disheartening. After speaking with us about culture, sincerity and karma, it felt incredibly contradictory to then knowingly take customers to a place like this, where tourists are given the impression they are visiting an authentic plantation, pressured into buying overpriced mass-produced products under questionable pretences, and exposed to animals that appear to be exploited for profit. Had this stop been disclosed honestly beforehand, we would have declined. Instead, it was introduced after rapport had already been built, which made the whole experience feel manipulative. The earlier parts of the tour were enjoyable, but I cannot recommend any tour operator that takes guests to places like this. Tourists should be very cautious of “surprise” coffee plantation visits, especially those involving kopi luwak, caged civets, distressed wildlife, free tastings, inflated prices, questionable product claims and high-pressure sales. Very disappointing.

Why this scores 79

Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 330 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 Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple?
+
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 Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple?
+
Around 115 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Ubud Electric Cycling Tour to Tirta Empul Water Temple 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 Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. 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.
