Take a full-day Bali adventure for the whole family. Connect with local culture by visiting vibrant markets and traditional offering ceremonies. Encounter monkeys in the forest, trek through scenic rice terraces and swim at a sacred spring. This guided day tour through Ubud and its surroundings offers a variety of activities for both adults and kids.
Start the day with a walk through Ubud’s main market. Experience local daily life and mingle with shoppers buying fresh fruits, spices, and other ingredients. Browse colourful flower-filled stalls and learn how they are used for temple offerings. Next, create a Balinese offering called canang sari. These offerings presented three times daily in gratitude to the Gods, are a key part of Balinese life. Design a personalised offering with guidance from a local expert, while learning about Balinese rituals. Visit the Sacred Monkey Forest, home to cheeky monkeys, an important temple, and a mystic spring.
After a culture-filled morning, head to the countryside for lunch. Enjoy a local meal with views of the surrounding rice terraces. Then, take a soft trek through Bali’s spectacular countryside. Follow a path through rice fields and under shady palm trees, learning about rice production and the innovative subak irrigation system used by Balinese farmers. Conclude the adventure at Pura Tirta Empul for a refreshing bath. The guide will explain the importance of water and cleansing ceremonies in Hindu culture. Join local pilgrims and take a dip in the sacred waters of this popular Balinese temple. After a day of mingling with locals, exploring the countryside, and experiencing Balinese spirituality, return to Ubud for a well-deserved rest.
