Exploring Central Part of Bali: Ubud Village, Kintamani Volcano, Rice Terrace, Waterfall

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary - Ubud Monkey Forest is managed by the village of Padangtegal. The monkeys in this sanctuary are known as long-tailed macaques, scientifically named Macaca fascicularis. These macaques are widespread across Southeast Asia and thrive in areas heavily frequented by humans.

Puri Saren Palace - Known locally as Puri Saren, Ubud Palace is a renowned attraction in Bali. It’s a popular stop during Ubud tours, located in the heart of Ubud Village, a cultural hub on the island. The palace features the Ubud King’s Family Temple in its northeast corner and hosts cultural performances every night.

Ubud Traditional Art Market - The Ubud Market offers a wide array of souvenirs, including silver jewelry, precious stones, batiks, T-shirts, beach sarongs, wood carvings, and cane work bags. The market is bustling, with items even hanging from the ceilings. Expect narrow alleys and occasional unpleasant smells typical of traditional markets.

Kintamani Highland - Kintamani Volcano is a popular tourist spot in Bali, known for its stunning mountain views. Located in Batur Village, Kintamani, Bangli Regency, this area sits 900 meters above sea level, offering cool daytime temperatures and chilly nights. It is 23 miles from Bangli’s capital city.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace - The Tegallalang rice terraces provide a picturesque view of rice paddies cascading down the slopes across the valley. This high roadside location is cool and breezy, making it a favorite spot for tourists to take photos. Artists and nature enthusiasts also frequent this area, which is dotted with art kiosks and cafes.

Tegenungan Waterfall - Tegenungan Waterfall is ideal for nature lovers staying in Ubud or visiting nearby Sukawati. Located halfway between Ubud and Denpasar, it is the closest natural attraction of its kind, reachable within a half-hour drive southeast from Ubud. The journey to the falls is scenic, with paved village roads flanked by green rice fields.

Exploring Western Part of Bali: Taman Ayun, Leke Leke, Ulun Danu Beratan, Candikuning, Jatiluwih, Tanah Lot Temple

Taman Ayun Temple - Taman Ayun Temple is a well-known tourist attraction, located about 18 kilometers from Denpasar on the road to Singaraja via Bedugul. The temple is situated on the left side of the road near the crossroads in Mengwi, where you must turn right if coming from Denpasar.

Leke Leke Waterfall - Leke Leke Waterfall is a hidden gem in north Bali, nestled in a rock crevice. Despite its modest appearance in photos, it is a substantial waterfall surrounded by lush jungle. It remains relatively unknown to most tourists, making it a perfect spot for those seeking less crowded destinations.

Ulun Danu Bratan Temple - Ulun Danu Temple is located on the shores of Lake Beratan, offering beautiful lake and hill views. Situated in a plateau area with a cool atmosphere, the temple is surrounded by hills, with Pucak Sangkur Mountain to the north and Beratan Mountain to the east.

Pasar Candi Kuning - Candikuning Fruit Market is a traditional market in the mountainous Bedugul area, selling fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from local farms. This market is a common stop on Bedugul and Tanah Lot tours or when traveling between Singaraja and other destinations.

Jatiluwih Green Land - Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is a must-visit in Bali, known for its stunning views. The name Jatiluwih means ‘truly special and beautiful,’ reflecting the area’s picturesque rice paddies, which are larger than those found elsewhere on the island.

Tanah Lot Temple - Tanah Lot Temple is one of Bali’s most sacred sea temples, located on a rocky island off the southwest coast. Dedicated to the guardian spirits of the sea, the temple is said to be protected by sea snakes inhabiting the caves below. While the temple itself is not accessible to visitors, there are many vantage points offering spectacular views.

Exploring Northern Part of Bali: Sekumpul Waterfall Hiking, Wanagiri Hidden Hills, Handara Gate, and Bayan Ancient Tree

Sekumpul and Fiji Waterfall - Sekumpul Waterfall, also known as Air Terjun Sekumpul, is considered Bali’s most stunning waterfall, featuring seven tall, misty cascades. Each of the seven waterfalls has its own unique beauty, making this area one of the most picturesque on the island.

Wanagiri Hidden Hills - Wanagiri Hidden Hills & Bali Swing have become popular on Instagram. Located in Munduk, a remote village two hours north of Ubud, Wanagiri Hidden Hills offers whimsical viewpoints over Lake Tambingan and Lake Buyan, including a human-sized bird’s nest, an Indonesian-style Eiffel Tower, and a giant swing.

Handara Iconic Gate - The Handara Gate is a famous Instagram spot in Bali, known for its serene pathway and stunning green scenery. This iconic Balinese gate, set against a backdrop of smoky green hills, provides a perfect photo opportunity for visitors.

Bayan Ancient Tree - The Kayu Putih tree in central Bali is one of the island’s oldest and largest trees, with a fairy-tale-like appearance. It is a magnificent natural landmark.

Exploring Eastern Part of Bali: Lempuyang (Gate of Heaven), Tirta Gangga Water Palace, Virgin Beach, Tenganan Village

Lempuyang Temple - Lempuyang Temple is one of Bali’s oldest and most revered temples, comparable to the Besakih Temple. Located 1,175 meters above sea level on Mount Lempuyang in East Bali, it is a highlight for adventurous travelers.

Tirta Gangga - Tirta Gangga Water Palace is set amidst rice fields around the natural springs of Rejasa, about 7 km north of Amlapura, East Bali’s main town. This royal water garden, featuring water, plants, and sculptures, is a cultural landmark belonging to the Karangasem royal family.

Ujung Water Palace - Ujung Water Palace, also known as Ujung Park or Sukasada Park, is a former palace in Karangasem Regency. Located about 5 kilometers from Amlapura, it features three large pools and a central building called Gili Bale, connected to the pool’s edge by a bridge.

Virgin Beach - Virgin Beach in Bali offers a serene ocean view with natural surroundings. The beach is ideal for swimming, with its calm waters and white sand. It is a peaceful retreat, far from the city’s hustle and bustle, and features traditional Balinese fishing boats.

Exploring Southern Part of Bali: GWK, Uluwatu Temple, Kecak & Fire Dance, Seafood Dinner in Jimbaran Bay

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park - GWK Cultural Park is home to iconic cultural landmarks, including the 121-meter-tall Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, depicting the Hindu god Vishnu and his mount, the Garuda bird.

Uluwatu Temple - Uluwatu Temple is linked to the Holyman Mpu Kuturan, who arrived in Bali in 1039 AD. He unified various cults into the Tri Murti concept and built 17 temples, including Uluwatu Temple.

Kecak and Fire Dance - The Kecak Dance involves about 50 men chanting ‘CHAK’ and enacting scenes from the Ramayana, depicting Sri Rama’s journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Rahwana.

Amazing isn’t the word! - This 5 day excursion exceeded our expectations. Mur picked us up at our hotel every morning with a smile on his face. After the first day, Mur picked us up at our hotel in Ubud early so we could avoid some of the crowds. He was so accommodating and we were able to see most of the sites. We had to make a couple of changes due to a slight injury, so Mur took us to a coffee tasting with the Kopi Luwak and that was one of the items on our wish list. It was great. Mur and my husband got along great and talked about old cars, Mur is very knowledgeable about cars on the island. Mur gave us space and time to explore when we wanted it and never rushed us. He is a very patient driver and never once did we feel unsafe, if you have ever been in Bali traffic, you would understand this. Everyday was an adventure and he was able to explain things very well. We were telling him our plans to do other excursions and he was able to speak with his company and get them set up for us. If we could give this higher than 5 star, we would. Highly recommend.

Perfect for families! - An unforgettable family trip. The planning with the company was seamless, they know exactly what they are doing and will give the best recommendations. Our driver Surya was great at accommodating us and was never late. Also helped us take some great photos. We saw more than what we hoped for in the comfort of a well maintained air conditioned van. Thank you Eco Bali Tours! Definitely recommend!

5 Day Tour In Bali from Ubud - We had 5 full days of tours to some really neat places. I enjoyed seeing everything we went to. The traffic causing the drive times to be lengthened was definitely a huge downside, but there’s really no way to avoid that. Our driver, Surya, was friendly and pleasant. He answered all of our questions. It would have been nicer if he was a little more forthcoming with information/history about the places we visited instead of us having to ask all the questions. We kind of contributed that to him being young. For us, the 5 days was a lot and we were definitely tired when we returned to the resort for the day, but with the drive time there would be no possible way to see all we did in a shorter amount of time.

Bali tour - Beautiful experience. We did the guided tour in Bali and it was very nice at times a bit too touristy for my taste, but as a first time here, ideal to see all the main points of interest. Our Guide, Surya, was really helpful and professional. Serious, punctual and organized very well. Highly Recommendation.
