    definitely recommend

    had the best day with Vee as our driver in Bali! he was so friendly, easy to chat to and made the whole day really fun. we had lots of laughs and felt completely safe with him driving us around. he also went out of his way to take us to an extra spot that wasn’t originally part of the plan, which was so nice of him. such a great driver and genuinely lovely person. would definitely recommend Vee to anyone visiting Bali!

    Day adventure to Ubud

    An unforgettable day with Koman! 🌴✨ We had the most wonderful day exploring Bali with our driver and guide, Koman. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly kind, funny and knowledgeable. He made the whole day so enjoyable and relaxed, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We absolutely loved the jungle swings — such a fun experience I’ll never forget! The rice fields were beautiful, and Koman recommended a fantastic spot for lunch before taking us on to see the waterfalls. His local knowledge really made the day extra special. Koman also took great care of us whilst visiting the monkeys- we were a little nervous- but we loved it! So cute! Koman was such a pleasure to spend the day with, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely guide to show you around Bali, ask for Koman — you won’t be disappointed! ❤️🌴 Thank you, Koman, for such a memorable day!

    Excellent

    We started our day by seeing the Sacred Monkey Forest, a sanctuary that takes good care of Balinese macaque monkeys. Then, we trekked the Tegallang Rice Terrace. But, the weather is not on our side, so we have not seen Mt Batur in the viewpoint area. We ended our day in Cening Bagus to buy some souvenirs at affordable prices. Our guide (Jero) is very knowledgeable and efficiently drives us around Ubud and nearby areas. He entertained and answered all of our questions.

    Fabulous tour with Darma

    We had an amazing experience with our this company driver today, Darma! He arrived 30 minutes early at our hotel, which we truly appreciated. He was very friendly, accommodating, and spoke English very well, making communication smooth and comfortable throughout the trip. Most importantly, he drove very safely and made us feel secure the entire time. Darma went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. 10/10 for this man highly recommended!

    Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & Waterfall Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.

    How much does Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & Waterfall Tour 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 Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & 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 Seminyak is not rushed.

    Is Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & Waterfall Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 124 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & 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: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & 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: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & Waterfall Tour?

    +

    Around 43 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ubud: Real Bali Swing, Monkey Forest, Temple & 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Ubud Top Attractions: Waterfalls, Temples and Rice Terraces. 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 Seminyak?

    +

    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 Seminyak?

    +

    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.
