Beautiful and Peaceful Rice Terraces
A beautiful place to enjoy Bali’s countryside. It’s peaceful, green, and much less crowded than some other popular spots in Bali. Definitely worth visiting if you enjoy nature and want to see a different side of Bali.

Great Rice Field Tour!
Great experience- loved the tour of the rice fields and the guide I listened to! I have already recommended it to others
via Viator
Vast rice terraces
It’s a long drive up to them from ubud. Spectacular vast valley of rice fields. Not the steepest Ive seen but it’s a lovely walk amongst them. I wasn’t sure what we were paying for at first when we arrived as most places like that you can just stop on the side of the road to look and take pics, but it was nice to all with several options of well maintained paths. Guides/ drivers take you to the usual average and busy restaurant at the entrance.

Audio Tour Jatiluwih is amazing
Jatiluwih rice terraces are just amazing green as far as you can see and beautiful surroundings. We downloaded the self guided audio tour and set off along the path. The tour by Voicemap App had gps so you just follow along and the narration comes on automatically. We walked at our own pace stopped for a cool drink and then set off again. This audio tour is fabulous you hear the stories of rice in bali the villagers history and how the rice is grown. We certainly have a new appreciation for rice. Tour is very informative and interesting. We totally recommend - this tour knows more than many guides!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk?
+
Around 1 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jatiluwih UNESCO Rice Terraces: Self-Guided Walk 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.
