Ubud Art Village, Monkey Forest & Kecak Dance Day Tour

Loading available options...

Overview

  • Duration:8 hours 0 minutes
  • Tour Type:Daily tour, Private tour
  • Language:English
Start your morning at Sangeh Monkey Forest. Walk under tall nutmeg trees while hundreds of monkeys jump from branch to branch. Some sit quietly, others look straight at you like they know something you don’t. The place feels old, almost sacred, like time slows down there.

Next, head to Mas and Celuk Villages. These are not tourist stops, they’re real working art villages. You’ll see wood carvers shaping gods from logs, silversmiths melting metal and making rings that shine like fire. You can talk, watch, or shop a piece to take home.

Then it’s time for coffee. Stop at Celuk Coffee & Swing. Try a few local blends, from smooth to strong. You’ll taste the roast, the smoke, the earth. After that, take the swing. Over the river, high enough to make your stomach flip a little.

End your day at Seraca Budaya with the Kecak and Fire Dance. As the sky turns dark, the sound of chanting fills the air. The dancers move around fire like spirits in motion. The heat, the rhythm, the energy, it’s wild and beautiful.

A day that starts in the forest and ends with fire. Full of life, sound, and craft. This is Bali the way locals live it.

We had taken a 10 days honeymoon tour with Didi, and we had the most pleasant experience. He is very much aware about all the places and routes, we had experience of the real bali. Didi is very friendly we had amazing pictures, tasted local fruits, saw amazing locations , did various adventures. I would highly recommend to take tours from them

We were lucky enough to have a tour guide like Tawan. He was so patient taking a perfect, instagramable shot for us. Lunch was great. Would definitely give him a 5 star and recommend to my friends as well. Keep smiling it's contagious.

The art museum was beautiful, and monkey sanctuary was so much fun! We also did some great shopping in the market. And we are so lucky that our tour guide Yos was so good! He taught us so much about the history and culture, we learned a lot and had so much fun with him.

Our driver for this trip was MANGKOK and we would like to express our appreciation towards him as he has definitely made our trip a smooth and memorable one. We needed to find a home-stay/resort at a very last minute and he even went the extra mile by bringing us to various places to check out and Ensure that we get a reasonable price for our short stay there. In addition, he will always cater to the customer’s requests, flexible in the trip planning and offered great suggestions for the places that are worth visiting in Bali! He is a friendly driver and a great guide who places our interests as priority. We highly recommend MANGKOK and will definitely hire him again for our next trip to Bali.
