The tour kicks off with a visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a lively nature reserve and temple complex where playful macaques roam freely among ancient trees. Reviewers note that the admission ticket is not included, so budget accordingly. Expect about an hour to wander and observe the monkeys, soaking in the lively atmosphere.

With its well-preserved sandstone bas motifs and classic Balinese design, it’s a peaceful spot to appreciate local religious practices.

Several reviews highlight how the drive itself, with lush greenery on either side, is a calming start to this nature stop.
No Bali tour is complete without visiting the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. These terraces are famous worldwide for their stunning layered landscapes and the traditional subak irrigation system. The tour gives you about an hour here—ample time to stroll the terraces and capture photos. Reviewers love the view of the rice paddies, describing it as a must-see that underscores Bali’s agricultural heritage.

Two unique, included stops are visits to local silver jewelry production and wood carving workshops. These give insight into Bali’s artisan traditions.

Finally, the Bali Swing in Bongkasa offers a thrilling finale. Hanging from a giant swing with forest views, visitors get a rush and perfect photo ops.

The swing’s recent rise in popularity is reflected in reviews mentioning how it’s a different kind of adventure, especially for those seeking exciting photo moments.
The tour fee covers bottled water, air-conditioned private transportation, fuel, parking, Wi-Fi, and complimentary coffee or tea. The lack of included lunch means you should plan to bring or buy food during the day—some guides might suggest good local spots, but it’s best to have snacks handy. You’ll also need to purchase individual entrance tickets for attractions like the Monkey Forest, waterfalls, and swings.
The tour runs approximately 8 to 10 hours, offering flexibility to linger at favorite spots or skip others. The schedule’s relaxed pace allows you to truly enjoy each location without feeling rushed.
