    Amazing Day with Dekyo

    Our trip was scheduled to depart at 8 a.m., but no one arrived. When we contacted the organizer, we learned that our booking had been missed. They dispatched a driver right away, and we started our day at 9 a.m. Along the way, we made a few additional stops that weren’t on the original itinerary, including the original Bali Swing and a coffee plantation. Both were wonderful extras. However, we were never offered lunch, which I had understood was included in the booking. Overall, the day was very enjoyable. Our driver, Dekyo, was helpful, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, made the experience fun!

    Ari made our Bali Trip Memorable 📸❤️

    We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Ari, during our Bali trip! He was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the day. We visited the Monkey Forest, Tibumana Waterfall, rice terraces, Tirta Empul Temple, and a coffee plantation, and Ari made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable experience at every stop. Ari was also very knowledgeable about the places we visited and shared interesting information about Bali and its culture. He was patient and always made sure we were comfortable. On top of that, he is a great photographer and videographer! He knew the best spots and angles for photos and videos, which gave us so many beautiful memories to take home. 📸🎥 Thank you, Ari, for making our Bali tour so memorable! We truly appreciate your kindness, effort, and professionalism. We highly recommend Ari to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and talented tour guide in Bali! 😊🇮🇩

    Agung is amazing!

    We had Agung for our driver and amazing tour guide today! This guy is an absolute gem! This experience was amazing and one of a kind thanks to Agung! He was kind, took photos of us at every stop without asking, carried our bags up and down flights of stairs, and even offered us his shoes when we forgot water shoes. Could not recommend him enough! 100/5!!!!

    Monkey Rice Water Temple

    The Monkey Forest was amazing - some very close encounters with some amazing animals, and the whole place was very relaxed. The rice fields - which was more an adventure resort operation - was not really my thing, but the walk around the rice fields themselves was pleasant enough and we didn't need to stay there long; the waterfall/cave was a great experience too, though be careful of the 90 steps down as you will have to go up them again to get back to the car; and the temple experience was lovely, the guide incredibly informative, and I didn't have to try an eat, pray love moment and I didn't want to! Diva was very professional and courteous, a very cool customer and was able to adapt to my requests - much kudos to him, and in particular, to his driving skills and abilities!

    Knowledgeable friendly guide for Ubud!

    Really great tour with Ari. He picked us up early morning for the Ubud half day tour, allowing us to avoid the crowds. We visited the rice terraces, coffee plantation, temple and waterfall. He was extremely knowledgeable about Balinese life, religion & culture, as he was a local to the area. We learnt a lot and he had a great sense of humour too! Cheers Ari you legend.

    Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nusa Dua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall 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 Nusa Dua is not rushed.

    Is Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Nusa Dua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall?

    +

    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 Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall 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 Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall?

    +

    Around 17 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 Nusa Dua 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 Nusa Dua and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ubud : Full-Day Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Temple & Waterfall 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 Nusa Dua 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 Nusa Dua?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nusa Dua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover The Best of Ubud: All-Inclusive and Private Guided Tour, Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive, Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Temple and Rice Terraces Swing. 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 Nusa Dua?

    +

    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 Nusa Dua?

    +

    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.
