Bali: Monkey Forest, Tegalalang, Uluwatu & Kecak Dance Tour | ®ExcursionMania

Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Bali’s most iconic landmarks, immersing yourself in the island’s rich culture, lush landscapes, and dramatic coastal views. This tour takes you to three must-visit destinations: the Sacred Ubud Monkey Forest, the picturesque Tegallalang Rice Terrace, and the awe-inspiring Uluwatu Temple, each offering a unique experience that combines nature, spirituality, and adventure.

Begin your day in the heart of Ubud, where you’ll step into the enchanting Sacred Ubud Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This ancient forest is a serene haven for hundreds of playful long-tailed macaques. As you wander along the peaceful pathways, you’ll have the chance to observe the monkeys in their natural habitat, frolicking among the trees, temples, and statues. The forest itself is a spiritual site, home to several ancient stone temples that add a mystical air to the surroundings. Feel free to stop and take photos, capturing the perfect moment of this unique blend of nature and culture. The monkeys, as curious as they are friendly, provide endless opportunities for candid shots that will elevate your social media feed and offer a glimpse into Bali’s natural beauty.

Next, venture to one of Bali’s most famous and Instagram-worthy spots, the Tegallalang Rice Terrace. Known for its lush green landscape and captivating terraced rice fields, this UNESCO-listed site showcases traditional Balinese farming techniques. As you walk along the narrow pathways that wind through the rice terraces, the stunning views will take your breath away. The panoramic vista, framed by tall palm trees and the distant mountains, creates the perfect backdrop for photos. You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a postcard, with every angle offering a new perspective of the rice fields’ natural beauty. Take a moment to relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere while learning about the intricate system of subak (traditional irrigation) that has been in place for centuries. This part of the tour is not only a feast for your eyes but also a chance to connect with Bali’s rich agricultural heritage.

After exploring the verdant beauty of Tegallalang, you’ll continue your adventure to Uluwatu Temple, a sacred and dramatic cliffside temple overlooking the Indian Ocean. Perched on a majestic limestone cliff, Uluwatu Temple offers panoramic views that are simply unparalleled. The temple is an architectural masterpiece, with intricate stone carvings and a serene atmosphere that invites contemplation. As you explore the temple grounds, you’ll encounter the iconic Kecak Dance, a traditional Balinese fire dance that is performed at sunset. The Kecak Dance is a captivating performance that tells the story of the Ramayana through a combination of chanting, music, and dramatic storytelling. With the temple’s cliffside setting as a backdrop, this performance becomes even more magical as the sun sets over the ocean, casting a warm golden glow on the surroundings. It’s a moment you’ll want to capture forever—both in your memory and on camera.

Throughout the day, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into the history, culture, and spiritual significance of each location. From the playful monkeys at the Sacred Monkey Forest to the centuries-old rice terraces and the dramatic coastal temple at Uluwatu, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Bali’s natural and cultural wonders.

This tour is perfect for anyone eager to explore Bali’s most famous landmarks in one day. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or a culture seeker, this journey offers something for everyone. The diverse experiences, from serene nature walks to immersive cultural performances, will leave you with unforgettable memories and stunning photos to share with friends and family.

For those looking to customize their experience, the tour offers a variety of optional add-ons to enhance your adventure. From traditional Balinese massages to Luwak coffee tastings, there are plenty of ways to personalize your tour and make it even more memorable. These add-ons allow you to dive deeper into Bali’s culture, taste its world-famous coffee, or unwind after a day of exploration with a relaxing massage.

As you embark on this Bali adventure, you’ll find that each stop provides a new chapter in the story of Bali—each with its own charm and beauty. The Sacred Monkey Forest invites you to connect with nature, the Tegallalang Rice Terrace offers a window into Bali’s agricultural past, and Uluwatu Temple provides a moment of awe and tranquility by the sea. Together, these destinations create an experience that showcases the best of Bali’s natural and cultural heritage, making this tour a must-do for any visitor to the island.

Our guide, Andre, was outstanding. He was very informative, engaging, and kind, always willing to accommodate our additional requests and even helped us with taking photos. The dance at the end of the trip was truly captivating and remarkable, and I highly recommend it. One thing to note is that the day can be quite long due to traffic. We were picked up at 7:30 AM and didn’t get back home until nearly 9 PM. However, despite the long day, we had an absolutely fantastic time, and the sites were both historically rich and breathtakingly beautiful.

The rice fields were wonderful. However, the Uluwatu Temple didn’t seem as impressive compared to the other temples we visited, and the long distance made it quite tiring.

Exploring Bali was a lot of fun. Teguh was an excellent driver, always finding shortcuts to avoid the traffic. I’d recommend doing this tour in the morning, though, as we couldn’t visit all the sites due to the heavy traffic from Seminyak to Ubud.
