An Ubud Full Day Tour is one of the best ways to experience the cultural and natural beauty of Ubud. Recently, I had the pleasure of assisting a lovely couple from France staying at Villa Ricarda Ubud during their memorable Ubud Full Day Tour. The day included visits to Monkey Forest Ubud, Cretya Ubud, Pakudui Rice Terrace, and an evening dinner at Donna Ubud.

As a local driver and guide, I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and authentic experience for every guest enjoying an Ubud Full Day Tour in Bali.
Starting the Ubud Full Day Tour at Monkey Forest Ubud
The Ubud Full Day Tour started at 10:00 AM from Villa Ricarda. Our first destination was Monkey Forest Ubud, where we arrived around 10:30 AM.
The couple was excited to explore the famous sanctuary but felt slightly nervous about being surrounded by so many monkeys. During this part of the Ubud Full Day Tour, I accompanied them while walking through the forest trails and helped them feel more comfortable around the monkeys.
We spent approximately one hour exploring the lush tropical forest, observing the monkeys, and taking photos of the beautiful surroundings. Their confidence grew as the visit continued, making this stop one of the highlights of their Ubud Full Day Tour.
Lunch with Rice Terrace Views at Cretya Ubud
At 11:30 AM, we continued the Ubud Full Day Tour to Cretya Ubud. Arriving around noon, the couple immediately ordered lunch while enjoying the stunning rice terrace scenery.
Enjoying the Natural Beauty of Ubud
Cretya Ubud is known for its relaxing atmosphere and spectacular views. During the lunch break, the guests enjoyed traditional Balinese landscapes while taking photos and videos of the surrounding rice fields.
The peaceful setting made Cretya an excellent stop during this Ubud Full Day Tour, allowing the couple to relax and recharge before continuing the journey.
Exploring Pakudui Rice Terrace
After lunch, we continued the Ubud Full Day Tour to Pakudui Rice Terrace. The weather was sunny, creating perfect conditions for walking through the green rice fields.
Adventure Above the Rice Fields
While exploring the area, the couple discovered an exciting flying activity that allowed them to glide above the rice terraces like Batman. They decided to try the experience and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.
As part of my service during this Ubud Full Day Tour, I helped record videos of their activity so they could keep unforgettable memories of their Bali holiday.
Afternoon Break at Villa Ricarda
Because the weather became quite hot, the couple requested to return to Villa Ricarda for some rest. We arrived back at the villa around 3:00 PM.
Taking a break in the afternoon allowed them to relax and prepare for the evening portion of their Ubud Full Day Tour.
Evening Dinner at Donna Monkey Forest Ubud
At 7:30 PM, we continued the final part of the Ubud Full Day Tour. I picked them up from Villa Ricarda and drove them to Donna Monkey Forest Ubud.
The couple enjoyed a pleasant dinner in one of Ubud’s popular dining venues. At approximately 8:00 PM, I dropped them off at the restaurant entrance and arranged a pickup later in the evening.
After dinner, they decided to visit Gelato near Monkey Forest to enjoy ice cream before returning to the villa. I picked them up there and drove them back comfortably to Villa Ricarda.
The Ubud Full Day Tour officially concluded at 9:45 PM when we arrived safely at the villa.
