Things to do in  Ubud

What an amazing experience!!! Putu was an amazing host and teacher. She made us feel at home and also taught us a bit about her culture. After the class her husband was find kind in showing us a waterfall nearby their property. If you are in Ubud is a MUST DO!

We had a great day in Ubud with Suli. He was very informative, funny, on time and had lots of activities planned for us. We could not recommend this day trip more! Ubud was also a lovely place & we learnt so much from Suli about it along the trip. We particularly loved the cultural parts including visiting a traditional Balinese house!

Berata was an amazing guide! He showed us around Ubud so well and gave us a great experience. He ensured we saw everything there was to see in Ubud and gave us his local insights which allowed us to skip the busy periods on some of the attractions. We would highly recommend Berata and this tour, you wouldn't regret it!!

Joe was absolutely fantastic!! His English was great and he took us everywhere on this tour and then some in one day !! You must do this on your first day so you get a true taste of Ubud and Bali in general .

Great full day trip at Ubud with lots covered Driver was great and informative and gave plenty of time at each stop never rushed Coffee tasting, art galley, 2 temples, waterfall and rice fields and all were fabulous

Dana was a great driver to visit ubud ! The car was clean and we asked for several places to visit in one day.

Pak Pande was terrific. It was one of the best days in Bali. Pande was attentive to all our needs, esp as we has only one week in Bali and wanted to see as much as possible. Pande took us to the Gate of Heaven, Ubud, beautiful waterfall as he heard we like to go such places. He's a really good tour guide.

The hardest hike in Bali but the views are worth it! The adventure began for us in Ubud at 10pm; it took about and hour and 20 minutes to get to the starting point of the tour. We started hiking in the night at 11:20 PM. It started off humid and warm. We definitely were sweating going uphill for the forest portion. We then passed into more a rocky portion and as we ascended there, it started getting colder. We got up about 45 minutes from the summit and our guide stopped us; he had collected a large amount of sticks from the forest area and was able to make a fire. We warmed up by the fire and had breakfast and coffee/tea. Nothing fancy—boiled eggs, cookies, bread, and jam but it was delicious after 4-5 hours of hiking. We had gone up fairly quickly so we all stopped there for about an hour and a half and let the other groups catch up. Around 5:15 am we went up the rest of the way to the summit and had an incredibly beautiful view of the sunrise. We then walked down (terrifying to see our trail and how narrow it is in the daylight without headlamps). It took about 4 hours to get to the bottom—we ended the hike at 10am. Our guide was absolutely the best—he was knowledgeable and kind. Our driver (different than our guide) was also really great. He enthusiastically picked us up at 10pm at our hotel and then took the long way home for us to stop at a coffee plantation and try Luwak coffee—thank you Batki! He was a very good driver and knew his way around the roads. Overall this was a memorable hike—sunrise on the highest point in Bali was definitely our highlight of our trip. Tips: Pack layers—it’s warm in the forest but freezing the higher you go and very windy. Be prepared to get cold at the top. Our guide was nice enough to lend our gloves. One guy even wore shorts and his guide gave him something to help cover his legs at the fire stop. Bring atleast 3L of water per person. Our guide gave us water because we didn’t have enough. Sneakers. Do not wear sandals. And try to make sure there’s good tread on your shoes—Bali and particularly the forest sees a lot of rain regularly. The way down gets very slippery—you’ll want good grip Don’t underestimate going down; because of the rain, it’s easy to fall going down and injure yourself. Go slow It didn’t even rain for us our hiking day but because it’s generally wet in the forest, there’s a great deal of mud. Overall I would highly recommend this trip to someone who is physically fit and ready for a challenge!

I booked a full day individual tour with my own chosen route with a private driver through the Viator app. I hand picked 4 places I absolutely wanted to see that were kind of spread out around different parts of town and messaged the operator of my preferred list through Viator. The operator emailed me back letting me know one place I wanted to see was going to not be opened and offered alternatives. On the day of our tour our driver Putu met us at our resort in Ubud at 8:30am. He greeted us warmly and had bottled water for us in his car. His car was comfortable and was cool to our desired temperature. Putu really made our day as great as it possibly could be. He volunteered to help carry our large bag that we brought with us to hold our towels, change of clothes, and water. He guided us through the temples and gave us the history and guidance for everything, so we always felt comfortable and in good hands. Putu really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our tour every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with his kind and helpful service. He helped to also take our pictures at these beautiful locations. He recommended optional places to stop to see like the coffee plantation and a different waterfall. On top of that when we were hungry he took us to a great authentic restaurant where we enjoyed a great meal at a scenic environment surrounded by rice fields and lush garden grounds. Putu is the best! He really wants to make sure you’re happy with your tour and will make it so. Thank you Putu!!! We are so grateful you were our guide. 🙏

We had such a great day on this trip. Our tour guide Adhi was fantastic! (Ask for him) He speaks great English and provided lots of knowledge and fun throughout the day. I would highly recommend doing this day trip if you want to get a feel for Ubud.

very good driver speak english, very good guide very nice batur good tour ,good area ubud very nice good

Very good - Driver was at the airport on time. He was very friendly and provided a few things to do whilst in Ubud. Also made contact during our stay to offer other tours, however we had made booking prior to our arrival.

Had an amazing experience. Our tour guide Deddy was great! Picked us up from our hotel and spent the entire day taking us around Ubud to the best sights and telling us all about the history and culture of Ubud and Bali. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

Wadee was good guide. You get to see a lot of Bali. Good to do first few days. Coffee place was nice and seeing the workplaces near Ubud was cool. u have to pay for lunch, but the place Wadee took me (Panca Yoga Restaurant) was a buffet and they asked for 125k. I only had 100k and they accept. Food ok

It was so much fun!!! We had the best guide. We got to see ricefields, the famous tegalong and luwak coffe along the beautiful roads of Ubud. It put a happy smile on my face! My best recomendations!

This was a great tour. Putu, my guide, knew a lot about Ubud and Bali in general. He had a great passion to share his knowledge about his culture and took me to the main places you want to see when in Bali. If you are looking for a first introduction to Bali, I think this tour is a great place to start.

Very good tour covering some of the best bits of Ubud and the surrounding areas. Private tour in comfortable air conditioned car and the driver was polite, courteous and very helpful filling in the gaps. His English was good and certainly better than my Balinese! Good value would recommend.

Probably the best tour, the volcano and lake is an amazing place and great stop for lunch, loved the Barung dance play, lots to see and lots of shopping at batik shop and silver shop and bought a couple of paintings at Ubud on the way home, a very full day indeed. Great guides and driver who made the day very enjoyable.

We had a really good experience. Wayan and Made taught us a lot about their home and culture, and the food we prepared was the best we’ve had in Bali. We also got to visit a coffee plantation afterwards (I’m not sure if this is always included in the tour though, or if we just had extra time). I would definitely recommend this class to anyone visiting Ubud!

Great trip! I went solo and was joined by one other solo traveler and a guide. The hike is not easy, so do make sure you are in good physical shape. Wear good shoes and and be prepared for some looser gravel and climbing over some rocks. I brought a couple extra bottles of water and snacks in a small pack and was glad I did. I was surprised to see a ton of monkeys on the summit too! It was even better watching the monkeys here than the monkey forest in Ubud. The guides will likely want to go plow up the mountain fast, but feel free to tell them to slow down or you need a break. It was also cool to be able to check out the coffee plantation—they let us try a ton of different coffees and tea which hit the spot after the hike. And stopping by the rice terraces afterward was good, saves you an extra trip and you don’t need too much time there really.
