Private Bali Countryside Tour with Local Guide Agus — Ubud Rice Terraces & Mt Batur Views
Spend a private day with local guide Agus moving from village courtyards and monkey-inhabited forest to rice-terrace viewpoints and volcanic panoramas at Kintamani. This eight-hour tour pairs cultural insight with accessible scenery and practical logistics.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress for temples
Carry a light sarong or wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees—temple visits require modest attire and may deny entry otherwise.
Protect against sun and rain
Bring a sunhat and a compact rain jacket—Bali’s weather can shift between intense sun and tropical downpour in a single day.
Hands-off with macaques
Do not feed or provoke monkeys in the Wenara Wana forest; secure sunglasses and phones as macaques are attracted to shiny items.
Carry small change
Bring cash in small denominations for entrance donations, parking, local snacks and optional tips for guides.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning Kintamani ridge for clearer lake light before clouds form
- •Small roadside warungs near Batuan serving kopi tubruk (local coffee) and homemade sweets
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaques (Ubud Monkey Forest)
- •Water buffalo and egrets in rice fields
Conservation Note
Respect sacred sites and rice terraces by not littering, avoid feeding wildlife, and use refillable bottles to reduce plastic waste.
The rice terraces reflect Bali’s subak communal irrigation system—an age-old social and agricultural organization tied to Balinese Hindu rituals.
