The 15 Best Ubud Tours & Day Trips

284 tours  ·  from $6

Ubud sells the same six loops from every hotel desk, and the difference is the start time and the group size. These 15 sort the terrace-and-waterfall runs, the monkey forest, the cooking classes and the volcano pickups by price, pace and how early the driver comes.

“It was not as thrilling as I expected it to be; you go in groups of 6 ATVs, and are led by a coupe of guides. It's beautiful, and certainly fun and an overall great experience, with the guides stopping the group along the way to take pictures and make sure everyone is caught up.

All other drivers who dropped and pickup us up never had an issue finding our parking. Even after communicating the place with the booker the driver didn't know where exactly we were going and never stopped to ask. We had to tell him where and he kept insisting that our plan was not feasible in a very condescending tone. He further had the never to tell us that we were…”
