Discovering the Charm of Ubud’s Art and Nature

This tour is a well-rounded introduction to the heart of Bali’s culture and natural beauty. It’s perfect if you’re seeking a day filled with visual delights and cultural insights, all wrapped up in a private setting. You’ll visit several authentic villages—Mas, Celuk, and Batubulan—that are known for their traditional crafts. We loved the way these stops let you see hands-on craftsmanship like wood carving, silver jewelry-making, and batik weaving—real artisans creating with skill and patience.
The Jungle Swing at the first stop offers that much-desired Instagram moment, but it’s also a fun way to enjoy Bali’s lush canopy. Many travelers mention the swing as a highlight: “most of the insta spots,” as one reviewer put it, making it clear that this stop adds a fun, memorable element to your day. Plus, the admission tickets are included, so no worries about extra costs or queues.
Following the swing, the tour heads to the Sangeh Monkey Forest. Here, you’ll walk among friendly monkeys and enjoy the tropical rainforest. This isn’t just a tourist trap—many find it a delightful encounter with Bali’s primates, especially when seeing them play and interact in their natural environment. The admission is included, and it’s a good chance to enjoy close-up wildlife in a lush setting.
