Convenient tour option!
Mangkok was a great tour guide! He gave us lots of insight into local religion and plants, as well as helped take photos. We had an amazing time and he easily adapted to our requests—super comfortable and easy day. I highly suggest this tour!

Amazing tour around Ubud 😊
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Dewa. Dewa took us to the Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, a coffee plantation, lunch at a local restaurant and then Kanto Lampo Waterfall. We enjoyed Dewa's positive vibes, humour and local knowledge. Dewa had excellent communication and was well organized. It was a relaxing and chill day whilst getting through quite a few activities and sight seeing. We would definitely book a tour with Dewa again if we visit Bali in the future and recommend Dewa to anyone else that is coming to Bali :)

Discovery day in Ubud
A big thank you to Dewa for this great day. We visited very beautiful places, including the monkey forest, Bali swing, the Tegalaland rice fields and a waterfall. At each stage Dewa explained the culture to us. He was very warm and friendly. It was very nice to be in his company during this discovery day in Ubud. Thank you for everything Dewa!

Ubud Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $19 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, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple Tour 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, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple Tour 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 28 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, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple 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 & Tirta Empul Temple Tour 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, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple Tour?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple 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 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.
