- Tegalalang Rice Terrace - Next, visit one of the most iconic attractions, the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. These steeply terraced rice fields descend into the valley and are designed for rice farming on steep terrain, utilizing the traditional Balinese irrigation system known as Subak.
- Tebasari Resto, Bar & Lounge - Stop for lunch featuring Indonesian, Balinese, and Western menus with a stunning view and a beautiful bamboo restaurant overlooking jungle vistas.

- Tirta Empul Temple - The final stop is Tirta Empul, a beautiful temple known for its holy water. This temple is popular for its sacred water, which is open to the public. It is believed that bathing in the water will grant your wishes. Many local and international tourists visit daily to soak in the waters of Tirta Empul Temple. If you prefer not to soak, you can simply enjoy the scenic beauty.

Great guide and amazing stops - Great experience! Ketut speaks perfect English (and sings great too while navigating the crazy traffic). He worked with us to customize our stops and still got us back to the cruise ship on time. Every stop was well worth the visit - monkey forest, temple, rice terraces, coffee shop, and a great restaurant for a delicious and authentic Balinese lunch. Highly recommend!

Awesome day in Ubud - We had an amazing experience with Ubud Private Tour—truly a 5-star day from start to finish. Our driver, Ketut, was incredibly personable, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome right away. He went above and beyond to tailor the day to our interests and shared so much insight into Balinese culture along the way.
One of the highlights was when Ketut generously took us to see his own family temple. It was such a unique and meaningful experience that gave us a deeper appreciation for the local traditions and way of life—something you simply wouldn’t get on a typical tour.
Everything was seamless, comfortable, and thoughtfully planned. If you’re looking for a more personal, authentic way to explore Ubud, this is absolutely the way to do it. Highly recommend!

Ubud four tourist attractions - My partner and I were picked up from our hotel, we went to monkey forest, rice terraces, waterfall and a temple where they do water purfifying. Lots of activities and it was enjoyable. Be ready to walk a lot and bring water. The guide was good but could have given more knowledge and information about each place. Maybe that was just the Balinese experience. There is lots of traffic out to ubud so be prepared for a long car ride around 1-2 hours each way depending on traffic
Would recommend if you are looking for a full day trip to ubud
