Bali Day Tour- Ubud and Kintamani Volcano View (All Inclusive)

Bali feels different when it’s inland. This private Ubud and Kintamani day tour strings together temples, crafts, and volcano-area views in one smooth plan, with an English-speaking driver guiding the day.

I love how the day is built around included basics that usually cause hassle: entry tickets, bottled water, and lunch are part of the deal. I also like that it’s a private format, so you get personalized attention instead of rushing with strangers.

One thing to consider: it’s a long 10-hour day with multiple stops, so you’ll want comfortable shoes and patience for a packed schedule.

Key highlights worth planning around

• Driver as a guide, not just a driver: you’ll get explanations as you move between cultural stops
• Included entry tickets and lunch: less ticket-juggling, more time seeing
• Celuk jewelry at SUNSRI: learn how artisan work starts from design through crafting and assembly
• Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple: sacred springs tied to Bali Hindu belief (and a stop that lasts long enough to actually take it in)
• Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Ubud Monkey Forest: iconic Ubud nature stops on a single route
• Bali swing and Ubud Art Market: the fun factor plus local shopping time

Why this Ubud–Kintamani day tour works so well

This is a classic inland Bali “greatest hits” route—without the usual stress of figuring out buses, separate tickets, or taxi negotiation. You start at 8:00 am and spend about 10 hours moving between Ubud-side culture and the Kintamani area.

What makes it appealing is the way it balances three types of stops: craft and learning (Celuk jewelry), spiritual places (temples), and outdoor sights (rice terraces, forest, and views around Mount and Lake Batur). If you like getting context for what you’re seeing, the tour structure is built for that.

The private setup matters more than it sounds. When your guide is speaking English and actively guiding, you can ask quick questions and keep the day from turning into a checklist.

Price and what $67.20 really buys you

At $67.20 per person, the price is mostly about convenience plus included admissions. You’re getting private transportation, a driver-guide, bottled water, and a lunch buffet lunch, and the tour includes all entrance tickets to the sites listed.

That’s the big value point: you’re not paying separately for every stop, and you’re not spending your day solving logistics. For many people, that’s where the real cost savings comes from, even if the sticker price looks like a lot compared to a single attraction.

What’s not included is small but important to know: a baby car seat is extra (IDR 50,000). If you’re traveling with a young child, that’s worth planning in advance so pickup day isn’t a surprise.

SUNSRI House of Jewelry in Celuk: more than a quick shop stop

You’ll start with SUNSRI House of Jewelry in Celuk (the artisan village). The stop is about 30 minutes, and the admission is listed as free—so it’s a low-commitment start that sets the tone for the day.

This is where you get a peek at the stages of how local artisans work: design first, then crafting, then assembling the final pieces. Even if you’re not shopping, I like this kind of stop because it turns jewelry from a product into a process.

Possible drawback: jewelry showrooms can be hit-or-miss depending on your interests. If you’re more into temples and viewpoints than crafts, you might treat this as a short learning stop and keep your focus on the explanations rather than the sales floor.

Batuan Temple: Balinese ornaments and a lived-in feel

Next up is Batuan Temple, another 30-minute stop. This temple is described as a local Balinese Hindu temple cared for by the resident of the Batuan countryside, which helps it feel grounded and not staged for tourists.

From a design standpoint, the key details are the Balinese ornaments and the roof temple building. The tour doesn’t rush you through this one, so you get a real moment to look at the architecture instead of snapping photos while moving on.

What I appreciate here is pacing. One temple stop is often enough to feel overwhelmed; two temples can feel like a theme, and that’s exactly what this tour does—without stacking too many long breaks back-to-back.

Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple: the stop that gives you time to understand

Tirta Empul Temple lasts about 1 hour, which is ideal for a sacred site. The focus here is Pura Tirta Empul, known as the Holy Water Temple, and the story behind it: for over a thousand years, Balinese Hindu worshipers have been drawn to its sacred springs.

The tour description includes the belief that the springs were created by the God Indra and are said to have curative properties. Even if you don’t participate in any rituals (your comfort matters), this is a meaningful place to understand why water plays such an important role in Balinese Hindu practice.

Possible consideration: because it’s a longer stop, it can affect your mood if you prefer fewer cultural pauses. That said, the longer time is also the reason this temple feels more than a photo stop—it’s given enough room to register.

Satria Agrowisata: coffee tasting in a jungle setting

Then the day shifts from temples to a lush jungle setting at Satria Agrowisata. You’ll get about 1 hour here, tasting authentic Bali teas and coffees.

The name you’ll hear is kopi luwak (civet coffee). The tour description explains it as coffee made from beans previously eaten—then partially digested—before processing. Whether or not you want to try it, this stop is useful because it ties food and farming to place, not just to a menu.

What to watch for: coffee and tea tastings can take up more time if you like asking questions and comparing flavors. Since the tour is structured with set stop durations, enjoy the tasting but don’t let it swallow your whole hour.

The Amora Bali lunch: a relaxed break with Mount and Lake Batur views

Lunch happens at The Amora Bali for about 1 hour. The description emphasizes a leisurely feel: elegant foods served in a simple atmosphere, with views over Mount and Lake Batur.

This is one of those practical pauses that improves the whole day. After temples and plantations, you actually get to sit, reset, and look outward. If you care about having at least one scenic moment that doesn’t require climbing stairs or moving quickly, this is it.

Possible drawback: lunch time can feel short if you want a slow wander around the area. Still, compared to a day with multiple quick meals, an included 1-hour lunch is a comfort advantage.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace: why this stop stays on the Bali list

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is next, about 30 minutes. The key details are the hollowed rice fields and how the terraces are precisely located along the hillbank—plus the chance to see Balinese farmers working in the rice fields.

I like this stop because it’s one of the easiest ways to understand how people live with the land. Even if you’ve seen rice terraces in photos before, there’s a different feeling when you’re there and you can see the stepped farming pattern at human scale.

Possible consideration: this is a “view and stroll” kind of stop. If you expect a big guided explanation of rice farming history, you may not get that depth in only 30 minutes. But for the visual and the sense of daily life, it hits the mark.

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and the Ubud rhythm

After the terraces, you’ll visit Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud for about 30 minutes. It’s described as a small tropical forest where you can see the group of monkeys that live there.

This stop adds a different texture to the day: nature, shade, and a quieter-feeling walk compared with temples and showrooms. It’s also a good point to take a breather before the more “touristy fun” parts of Ubud.

A practical note: keep your expectations simple. The forest is about the experience of being in that green space, not about spending time in a long museum-like setting. If you want the most out of your 30 minutes, show up with curiosity and don’t over-plan what you think you’ll see.

Bali swing and Ubud Art Market: the fun finish and local browsing time

Later in the day, the itinerary includes Bali swing in Ubud and Ubud Art Market.

The Bali swing stop adds an Instagram-friendly activity angle to a day that’s otherwise heavily cultural and scenic. If you’re traveling with friends or family who want that classic Bali moment, this is how the tour builds it in without forcing you to add a separate half-day.

Ubud Art Market, on the other hand, is where you can slow down and browse. Since the tour description doesn’t give specific timing details for these two stops, the best approach is to treat them as your flexible end-of-day options: buy only what you truly want, and don’t let shopping eat your energy right before the drive back.

Tips to get the most from a 10-hour private day

Because this tour is weather-dependent (good weather is required), plan to be flexible. If conditions are poor, the tour may be canceled and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Also, since you’ll be moving between temple sites, terraces, and forest paths, I recommend packing around comfort:

• Wear shoes that handle walking on uneven ground
• Bring sun protection and plan for warm weather typical of Bali’s inland areas
• Use the included bottled water early, not at the end when you’re already tired

Since this is private and includes pickup/transfer from around Bali, you’ll save time by being ready at pickup. A smooth start often makes the whole day feel calmer.

Finally, the real secret weapon here is the guide. One of the strongest points from a standout experience is a guide named Putu, who’s praised for teaching history and culture while still keeping the day flowing. If culture matters to you, this is the kind of tour where paying attention to explanations makes your photos feel more meaningful later.

Should you book this Ubud and Kintamani volcano view day tour?

Book it if you want a single, well-paced day that covers multiple “Bali inland” priorities: temples, rice terraces, Ubud nature, and a coffee-and-lunch break with views around Mount and Lake Batur. The private transportation and included entry tickets, lunch, and bottled water are real value, especially if you’d otherwise spend time coordinating transport and admissions on your own.

I’d skip or think twice if you hate packed schedules. This is built as a full 10-hour day with many stops, including Bali swing and shopping at an art market, so it’s not the kind of tour that leaves lots of free time to wander independently at every location.

If you like history, culture, and seeing several major inland highlights without the hassle, you’ll probably feel like you got your money’s worth on this one.
