Bali Buggy + Ubud Tour: Rice Terraces, Monkey Forest & Off‑Road Thrills
Combine an adrenaline-fueled one‑hour buggy ride through rice fields and jungle with Ubud’s cultural highlights: the Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, art market and Tegalalang terraces. Expect muddy tracks, volcanic soils and a full day of varied terrain.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails and buggy platforms are muddy and uneven—sturdy shoes protect feet and improve grip during short walks.
Bring a change of clothes
Buggy rides often splash mud; towels and changing rooms are provided but a fresh set is more comfortable for afternoon walking.
Start early
Morning departures avoid mid-day heat and local traffic, and provide softer light on the terraces for photos.
Secure belongings from monkeys
Macaques are bold—keep cameras, sunglasses and snacks stored and follow guide instructions at the Monkey Forest.

Conservation Note
The Monkey Forest is a conservation and cultural site—visitors should avoid feeding wildlife and follow local rules to reduce stress on animals and degradation of temple areas.
Ubud developed as a royal and religious center; the subak irrigation system used on the terraces dates back centuries and is managed communally through temple-linked cooperatives.
