Bali As You Wish: Private Cultural Tour with Agus — Batuan, Rice Terraces & Sacred Springs
Travel with a local guide for a private, customizable day through Batuan’s temple courtyards, small rice terraces at Ceking and a hidden spring and waterfall. This eight‑hour tour balances cultural insight with easy walking and scenic stops.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress respectfully for temples
Bring a sarong or long skirt and shoulders covered—temple entry typically expects modest clothing.
Wear sturdy shoes
Villages and terrace paths are uneven; closed‑toe shoes make walking and light scrambling safer.
Bring small cash
Carry small bills for school donations, local snacks or souvenir purchases—ATMs are limited in villages.
Plan for slippery rocks
At the waterfall the rocks can be wet and slick—take care if you climb for photos and avoid edges.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Quiet courtyard visits in Batuan where villagers carry out daily offerings
- •A low, less crowded viewing terrace near Ceking for unobstructed photos of the paddies
Wildlife
- •Common myna and kingfishers around rice paddies
- •Monitor lizards sometimes sunning near river edges
Conservation Note
Respect temple grounds and village life by avoiding litter and staying on paths; small purchases support local crafts and schools.
Many sites reflect Bali’s water temple and Subak irrigation system—an old communal approach to rice cultivation that ties religion to agriculture.
