Saraswati Temple and Ubud Monkey Forest with Waterfalls
Full description
This is a 8-hour experience from Ubud, built around Tegenungan Waterfall, Tegallalang Rice Terrace and Saraswati Temple. It is run by Trip Gotik - Bali Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
The waterfalls around Ubud sit in a band to the east and south of the town, mostly within an hour's drive. Tegenungan is the closest and the busiest, with a broad fall and a pool at the bottom. Tibumana and Kanto Lampo, both in Bangli, are smaller and better for getting in the water: Tibumana drops in a single curtain into a clear pool, and at Kanto Lampo the water fans across a stepped rock face that people climb onto for photographs. All of them involve steps down and back up, and the rocks are slippery, so proper sandals or shoes that can get wet are the right footwear. The wet season, November to March, brings the fullest flow but also brown water for a day or two after heavy rain.
The price covers Guide, Entry fees, Hotel transfer, Mineral water and Air-conditioned vehicle. It does not cover Personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hotel pickup in Ubud. Trip Gotik - Bali Tours confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Trip Gotik - Bali Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Was really good..!! Bobby our guide was helpful, polite and very informative. He took a lot of care for us, showing, explaining things. Stayed with us when needed and also gave us alone time when we wanted it. Took us to beautiful spots and took pictures when we needed him to. Bobby was great company… Thank you so much.!
Indrawan was a fantastic guide. He was patient and very informative. We really enjoyed our day and the itinerary was great
Our guide Dwipa was very friendly and knowledgeable not just about the places we visited but also about Indonesian culture and history in general. He was also very kind and patient and we never felt rushed during our trip. He is also a very experienced guide and knew how to optimize our time to get to the different spots despite the usual heavy traffic in Bali. He looked after us very well and always made us feel comfortable during our trip. He is also a good photographer and helped us take some great family pics. Thank you very much Dwipa for our amazing and unforgettable Ubud trip!
We had an amazing day trip! Monkey forest was a highlight, our guide took us to one outside ubud where we could feed monkeys and have them jump on us Our driver Karba John was lovely, so knowledgable about bali it was a pleasure to spend our day with him
Gus is such a lovely person and an excellent guide. So knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Very easygoing and had so many stories to keep us entertained. He tailored the experience a little bit for us as well. Such a sweet and friendly person. I highly recommend him!
What an amazing day we had with our guide Artawan. The tour was well planned, seeing so many sites and seeming to arrive at each location just before the rush. Artawan was the perfect guide, sharing so much knowledge and information about the island, cultures and history. If the sites and experiences didn’t make us fall in love with Bali, Artawan’s passion for the island certainly did. Thank you so much for a fantastic day and memories to last a lifetime.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Bali with Tia From the moment we were picked up, Tia was friendly, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information about Balinese culture, traditions and history throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble. Tia tailored the day to our interests, never made us feel rushed, and always knew the best times and spots to avoid the crowds. Tia’s driving was safe and comfortable, and she made sure we had everything we needed at each stop. What really made the experience special was Tia’s genuine kindness, sense of humour a
Arsana was the perfect guy for us. With him we have been able to visit really good spots just next to the instagram hotspots, less crowdy but perfect to see. He was providing so much information in such a kind way - he is our favourite and so was this tour. Asrana - matur suksma!
This tour was one of the best experiences we have had in our life! Our guide Ryan not only was super kind and patient but also very knowledgeable about Bali culture! This made our experience incredible. We were able to visit six amazing places while Ryan told us the details and secrets that otherwise we would not be able to know! He also took us the awesome pictures and in addition this is one of the few tours which included all the entrances, so we did not have to worry about nothing! Super highly recommended! 😃
