Ubud Payangan, Bali

TOURS AND ACTIVITIES
Whether you prefer outdoor adventures or leisurely pursuits,
we’ll help you discover a side of Bali that few travellers ever get to see.
ENJOY BALI WITH US.
We can help arrange Tours and Activities to suit every taste.
Our definition of a traveller (vs. a tourist) is someone who likes getting away from the familiar. Theres’s no better way of finding out who we are, who we might be.
Let us help you arrange visits to traditional villages, vibrant markets, seldom-visited temples, unusual local ceremonies, remote waterfalls, pristine beaches, and secret spiritual springs.
And, if you’d like to fully immerse yourself in the local way of life, you can unleash your culinary skills with Balinese cooking classes, take traditional dance or gamelan lessons, learn Balinese carving or painting techniques, assist in the preparation of Hindu offerings, and much, much more.
If you're yearning for INTELLIGENT and AUTHENTIC experiences,
we'll be happy to help arrange journeys tailored to the way you like to travel.
EXPLORE BALI ON YOUR OWN
If you’d prefer to explore the island independently, we have complimentary bicycles on hand, and motorbike hire can easily be arranged through local providers. For excursions farther afield, we’ll be happy to arrange a private car and driver through one of our trusted local transport providers.
And, of course, we have lots of advice to offer.
HAVE A BALI ADVENTURE
For the young and young-at-heart, adventure activities are available only minutes away from GILDED PALMS.
Feel the exhilaration of white water rafting trips, dirt biking, jungle buggy (ATV) riding, eco cycling, horseback riding, and Jeep mountain touring. These are only a few of the many options on offer.
Just let us know what sounds like fun and we'll be happy to arrange it through trusted local activity providers.
EXPERIENCE UBUD,
THE CULTURAL CENTRE OF BALI
(just 25 minutes south of Gilded Palms)
With our complimentary guest shuttle,
you can visit Ubud as often as you'd like during your stay.
The world-famous town of Ubud is known for its rice paddies and range of art, cultural and spiritual experiences.
On a day trip, you can visit the Sacred Monkey Forest, Pyramids of Chi, or simply revel in the hustle and bustle of the main shopping strip where local artisans display their wares.
In the evening, you can dine at one the town’s countless world-class restaurants, or take in a traditional dance or musical performance at one of its many venues.
Squeeze all of Ubud’s top attractions into one day,
or visit several times during your stay.
We’re ready to take you into town as often as you’d like.
RELAX AT HOME WITH A BALINESE MASSAGE

Come and discover the stunning natural landscape and enchanting allure of exotic Bali.
