Starting in Ubud, we were able to select our itinerary from several options listed on the website. We visited some temples in the forest and the beautiful terraced rice fields. Keep in mind the heavy traffic when planning your schedule, especially when it comes to the return trip to Ubud. Our guide, Wayan (Apple), was amazing. He spoke perfect English . If you can, definitely request him as your guide!

We booked a full day private tour and let our guide know what we didn’t want to see. The day started early at 6 a.m. We visited several beautiful waterfalls (Kamto Lampo, Suwat, Tegenungan) that weren’t too steep, which was perfect as I was already quite tired from the previous days. I wanted a more relaxing tour, and we got just that with Adi. We also visited the Tegalalang rice fields. Overall, it was a great day.
