My partner and I had...
My partner and I had three days in Sidemen, and we're glad we spent our first morning doing this tour. Aside from the pretty views, it also gave us a bit of context about the region, which was good to have as we explored the area more in the following days. This walk is different from the 'rice terrace walk' nearby, as the guide takes you through the rice paddies and different areas. We would recommend this tour for other visitors.

Local guided tour through the rice terraces
I loved this experience. Darya was a fantastic guide through the Sideman rice terraces and villages. Great to see the local perspective. Perfect trek for the nimble footed!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊 We're truly happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Sidemen with Daria. It means a lot to us that our different perspective of Bali was conveyed through the villages, rice terraces, and local life. We hope to welcome you back for another meaningful adventure in Bali 🌿

Good walking your
Met at 9am which is best time as cooler and less cover around Mt Agung, walk was relatively easy with some balance required n our guide Diria (sorry if spelt incorrectly) was knowledgable, it took about 2 hours with lots of photo opportunities
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review 😊 We're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful morning trek and the beautiful views of Mt. Agung. We'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Daria. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Bali 🌿

Beautiful adventure
it was an amazing experience and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. In December some of the rice crops have been harvested, and knew all about the other crops being planted and how they were used in local cuisine. Beautiful experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience and that our guide’s knowledge about the rice fields, seasonal harvests, and local crops added value to your trek. December is indeed a special time in Sidemen, and we’re happy you enjoyed learning how the crops are used in local cuisine. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future. 🌾😊

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective cost?
+
Prices start at $225000 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 Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 100 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 Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective?
+
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 Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective?
+
Around 35 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective 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.
