Best tour in Bali.
Best tour in Bali. Hat down to our driver/ tour guide (Mr. Yanse) for his expertise and hospitality. He was very knowledgeable and patient explaining the history of the sites. My wife and I had an amazing time. We definitely recommend this tour and you get a bonus if get Mr. Yanse as your guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely 5-star review! We're truly happy to hear that you had such a pleasant experience with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our team. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Bali someday. Until then, take care and stay well! Warmest regards, Kadek

★★★★★ An Authentic Bali Experience Beyond the Tourist Trail
In Bali, finding a driver is easy. Finding someone who can turn a day of sightseeing into a genuine cultural experience is something quite different. YANSE did exactly that. From the outset, he was punctual, calm and professional, but it was his willingness to slow the day down and share the meaning behind Balinese traditions that made the experience memorable. There was no sense of being moved quickly from one attraction to the next. Instead, there was time to ask questions, observe and understand. The standout experience was a Melukat at Pura Mengening, an ancient water temple surrounded by greenery and the sound of flowing sacred springs. Rather than leaving us to navigate the ritual as tourists, Yanse stayed with us and patiently explained the process. He taught us about the offerings, the prayers, the sacred water and how to respectfully take part in the purification ceremony. Knowing the meaning behind each step changed the experience entirely. What could easily have been another photograph on a Bali itinerary became something quiet, reflective and deeply personal. That is perhaps Yanse’s greatest strength as a guide: he doesn’t simply show you Bali; he helps you understand it. For travellers searching for a driver who is reliable, safe, patient and flexible, but who can also provide a genuine connection to Balinese culture, Yanse is an excellent choice. Our Melukat at Pura Mengening was one of those rare travel experiences where you stop feeling like a tourist and simply become present in the moment. A beautiful introduction to the spiritual heart of Bali and a memory we will carry home with us. 🙏🌿💧

Ubud Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours 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 35 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 Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours?
+
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 Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ubud Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours?
+
Around 12 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). 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.
What is included in Ubud Monkey Forest, Holy Water Temple & Waterfalls Tours?
+
