Day trip with Kadek our guide
Excellent day out with the family. If you want to do multiple tourist attractions in one day, this is definitely worth it. Our guide, Kadek, met us at the hotel. He is very knowledgeable and his English is very good. He helped us get good pictures for lasting memories. We can't thank him enough. He was giving our son high fives a few times during the trip, which my son really enjoyed.

Family day with Kadek
Really nice experience if you like doing a few activities in one day. The forest and waterfall were the highlights. Kadek was kind, answered all our questions, and was very knowledgeable about the surroundings. His English is also very good. John 3:16

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jimbaran.
How much does Ubud: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jimbaran 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, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour 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 Jimbaran is not rushed.
Is Ubud: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jimbaran, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour?
+
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, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour 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, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Elephant Cave & Waterfall Tour 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran?
+
On Outty we rank every Jimbaran 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, Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple, Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour. 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 Jimbaran?
+
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 Jimbaran?
+
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.
