Melancaran · Ubud
A private car and English-speaking local host from Melancaran, with a sample route of seven Ubud stops, Tegenungan among them, that you can reshuffle. It suits travellers who want to set the pace themselves; budget for every gate and parking lot on top.
Melancaran sells this as a custom day, and the listed route is a starting point: the Sacred Monkey Forest (an hour), then 30 minutes each at Tegallalang, Tegenungan Waterfall, Pura Puseh Batuan, Celuk silver village, a river-pool swing and Tirta Empul, plus a coffee farm in the overview. That's seven sights in nine or ten hours, which is a lot. Guests describe the day as personalised and flexible, and one family reports their driver slowed it right down for the kids.
Nothing at the gates is covered. The listing excludes entrance fees and parking, so the price buys a private car, a local host and insurance. On the full route an adult pays about IDR 130,000 at the Monkey Forest, IDR 75,000 at Tirta Empul, IDR 30,000 at Tegenungan and IDR 15,000 to 20,000 at Tegallalang, roughly IDR 255,000 (about $16) before Batuan's ticket or any swing. Swing parks around Tegallalang charge about IDR 250,000 to 400,000 for a package. Car parking runs about IDR 5,000 to 10,000 a stop.
The $40 is per person for the largest group, so a couple pays more each; Viator shows the exact figure after you choose date and group size. There is one option only. The weak spot for waterfall fans is the clock: 30 minutes at Tegenungan barely covers about 10 minutes down the steps and a slower climb back. Drop a stop and tell the host you want an hour at the falls; that's the point of a custom day.
Your host collects you and you agree the day. This is the moment to cut stops and stretch the ones you care about.
Open from 9 am, IDR 130,000 per adult. No food or plastic bags on you.
Terrace paths with small booth fees and farmer donations; a swing park nearby if you want one.
Long enough for the viewpoint and a quick trip down. Ask for an hour if you want time at the pool.
A carved village temple, silversmiths at work, and a swing over the river, each with its own fee.
The water temple with its spouts. Sarong and sash for everyone; a bathing sarong costs extra.
★★★★★The tour was really great and personalized to what I want. I enjoyed exploring the beautiful Ubud. Special thanks to my driver and guide Rah for being so friendly and making me very comfortable
