Overview

Embark on a captivating journey to discover the serene and hidden beauty of Bali on this private full-day tour. Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in the peaceful landscapes of the western side of the island. This tour takes you to areas where traditional Balinese culture seamlessly blends with breathtaking natural surroundings. From ancient temples to lush rice terraces and charming villages, this adventure offers a rare opportunity to explore Bali in a way that few others will ever experience. With a dedicated private driver-guide, your day is customized to your pace, ensuring a memorable and intimate encounter with Bali's lesser-known treasures.

Your journey begins at the Taman Ayun Temple, a royal family temple located in the Mengwi region, built in 1634. The temple is a spectacular example of Balinese architecture, featuring tiered roofs and beautiful gardens surrounded by tranquil fish ponds. The atmosphere here is serene, providing a peaceful introduction to Bali’s rich cultural heritage. With plenty of photo opportunities, this historic temple will captivate both history buffs and nature lovers alike.

Next, head to Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, one of Bali's most iconic temples, set on the shores of Lake Beratan. This majestic temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, and its picturesque location offers stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Known for its unique architectural style, the temple appears to float on the water, offering visitors an ethereal experience. The cool, refreshing atmosphere of the area adds to the magic, making it a perfect spot to take in Bali’s natural beauty while learning about its spiritual significance.

After visiting the temples, continue your exploration to Jatiluwih, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its expansive rice terraces. The terraced fields stretch across the hillsides, showcasing Bali’s centuries-old subak irrigation system, a method that is still used today to cultivate rice. As you wander through these lush green landscapes, you’ll get a chance to witness local farmers working the land, offering you a glimpse into traditional Balinese life. The panoramic views of the emerald rice fields are nothing short of mesmerizing, making Jatiluwih a photographer’s paradise. The vibrant hues of the rice terraces in the daylight create a stunning visual display, perfect for creating lasting memories.

For lunch, you’ll enjoy a delightful traditional Balinese meal at a local restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made from locally sourced ingredients. This break allows you to relax, reflect on the day’s adventures, and immerse yourself in the rich tastes of Bali’s culinary heritage.

The last stop of the day brings you to Tanah Lot Temple, one of Bali's most famous and dramatic temples. Set atop a rocky outcrop on the Indian Ocean, this sea temple offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. The temple is an essential part of Bali’s spiritual landscape and is dedicated to the sea gods. As the sun sets behind the temple, the view is truly mesmerizing, providing an unforgettable end to your tour. This stunning backdrop will surely be a highlight of your trip and a perfect moment for photography.

Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy the personalized attention of a private guide who will ensure your experience is as comfortable and enriching as possible. Whether you are captivated by Bali’s spiritual sites, drawn to the beauty of its rice terraces, or simply looking to escape the crowded tourist areas, this tour offers a unique way to experience the island's hidden gems.

In addition to the cultural landmarks and natural beauty, this tour allows you to experience the tranquility and peaceful rhythm of rural Bali. As you drive through traditional villages and past lush landscapes, you’ll get a true sense of the island’s charm and authenticity. The slower pace of life in these less-visited regions provides an opportunity to connect with Bali on a deeper level, making this an enriching experience for anyone looking to explore beyond the usual tourist attractions.

Your journey concludes with a return to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Bali’s lesser-known wonders.

We had a great experience exploring the UNESCO sites with our driver Yande. We saw three temples and a beautiful rice terrace up in the hills where we had a nice lunch. The history and beauty of each spot was amazing. Bali can be difficult to navigate but Yande did great getting us safely across the island. Keep in mind there’s an hour or so drive time between each site, so you’re in the car a lot, and it does literally take the whole day. Even with all the driving we had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed our day with Yande.

Great tour from Ubud! Our guide/driver, Sakha, was perfection! He picked us up on time (even early!), was a great and safe driver, a fabulous photographer, and was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. All of the temples were interesting and beautiful. The trek through the rice terraces was simply stunning. The buffet lunch had many delicious options in a picturesque setting overlooking the rice fields. This is a well-planned tour at a great value. Sakha was very patient, never rushed us, and answered all of my many questions. Thank you for an amazing day!

Dekwi was my driver and I had a fantastic day exploring the UNESCO sites with him. He was extremely knowledgeable about the temples, Bali culture, and the farming of the rice fields. He also knows a lot about all the plants around Bali. I would highly recommend Dekwi and would book him for other trips. If you want a hassle-free way of seeing the sites and Bali, this is the way to do it!

A wonderful day thanks to Yande who, with kindness and passion, adapted the tour to our interests and accompanied us without ever being intrusive. The tour lasts all day and allows you to see the best of the area west of Ubud. It is worth it, and Yande, with his comfortable car, is the right person to learn about the customs and traditions of an island that has so much to offer to any traveler.
