Exploring Ubud with Komang
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the Ubud area with our driver Komang! He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain each area to us, knew the best places to take us, and ensured that we felt safe and cared for the entire day. We couldn't have asked for a better day exploring with Komang and would highly recommend a tour with him.

Amazing tour operator with reasonable price.
The trip with Mr Wayan was amazing. He is very good guide with amazing knowledge about Bali and routes. He will suggest best places to cover with less travel. If you thinking for trip to BALI you can take his service. Price is also very reasonable. He can speak English so language will not be a barrier. Thanks Wayan for the trip.

BEST IN BALI!
Wayan was an amazing driver and tour guide! During our vacation to Ubud Bali, he provided round-trip private transfer from the airport and also daily tours which we were able to customize based on our desired activities, sightseeing etc. He was always on time, super safe driver, very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed talking to him during the trip as he provided tons of history and information about Bali. Also he had great recommendations for food! Communication was professional and super easy as we chatted over Whatsapp beforehand so the transport each day went smoothly. We highly recommend his car service to those travelling to Bali! Easy 5 stars! Thank you Wayan for the fantastic time!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, 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 Ubud is not rushed.
Is Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 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 Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, 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 Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, 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 Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, Waterfall?
+
Around 10 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 Ubud Highlights: Sacred Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, 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 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.
