Highly Recommender Guide for Bali Day Trip
We had a fantastic family day exploring Bali with Yansen! He was warm, patient, and thoughtful throughout the trip, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. He shared fascinating insights about the places we visited, helped us discover the island at an easy pace, and made the day feel special for the whole family. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Bali!

AMAZING!! PLEASE BOOK
Was absolutely amazing, definitely worth the time and money - every location was beautiful, and so many new things to try and do. All staff at locations were so kind and welcoming. The lunch included was yum, tour guide was very kind and friendly. Vitho told us all about the Balinese culture, religions, languages and the nature. Even taught us some Balinese words too. The tour took all day, so if you book make sure you have the entire day free.

Adi is amazing
Adi was amazing from start to finish. His car was clean and stocked with water for our party of 3. Adi was very informative and allowed us to make the trip our own spending more time in certain places that intrigued us more. Two of our party got sick during the tour and Adi was quick to get us the help we needed and extremely patient. Adi is top of the line.

A magical tour throughout Ubud
Our Ubud tour couldn'd be more magical! We started early in the mourning and our guide Vitho drove us to several places, such as Monkey forest, rice terraces, coffe plantation, Bali swing, waterfalls, and water temple, while we was sharing its culture with us. Vitho' sharing made us feel a little bit like a local and so we are truly grateful to him. The tour never felt rush, we could explore everything at our own pace and still had the time to explore more.
Response from the operator: Dear eduardocV4015RE Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a magical experience exploring Ubud with Vitho. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the beautiful destinations, learned more about Balinese culture, and had the freedom to explore at your own pace. Vitho will be so happy to hear your kind words! We truly appreciate your trust in us and hope to welcome you back to Bali for another unforgettable adventure.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.
How much does Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta 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, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple 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 Kuta is not rushed.
Is Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8,115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple?
+
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, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple 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: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple?
+
Around 2,840 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 Kuta 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 Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple 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 Kuta 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 Kuta?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour, Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive. 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 Kuta?
+
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 Kuta?
+
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, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple?
