- Ubud Bali is probably best known for two main things to do, the Tegallalang Rice Terraces and the Monkey Forest. In this vlog we travel to Ubud to check them both out and see if... Here's a link to the accommodation: geni.us/ubud ⬇ Our other Bali recommendations are below ⬇
Welcome back to Bali and come travel with us up to Ubud. In this vlog we're discussing a few of the main things to do in Ubud - the Tegallalang Rice Terraces, the Monkey Forest, a bit of yoga and some babi guling.
We've been to the monkey forest before though and that was enough! It's one of the first things you'll see if you search for what to do in Ubud, but those monkeys are hectic and will try steal anything they can get haha. Totally worth the visit once, but not really the kind of place you go back to multiple times - still, it's one of the reasons Ubud is so popular.
The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are right up there on the list of top attractions as well, did we have the real experience though? Were we just hustled into a somewhat underwhelming area of the rice fields? We're not 100% sure, but it's pretty obvious there's a lot of other places to get into the Tegallalang Rice Terraces given how big they are! Stunning either way and a pretty crazy natural beauty, maybe just better to hunt around for a more quiet area.
Babi guling is an Indonesian speciality and something that Ubud is also known for, so we obvs wanted to get some of that in our system asap as well! Ammmmazing taste!
Last up, Ranggen accommodation is a banger - SO MUCH value. If you're looking for a chill villa or accommodation in Ubud give it a look here: geni.us/ubud

Found it😃 will be there March 20 - April 19 and will be getting to know Ari
@@tradingescapes3312 Did you hear back from him? We messaged him a few days ago and he hasn't seen the message or been online. Hope he hasn't changed his number!
@@DanegerAndStacey Changed his number.
@@oringo556 Gutted. Did he not reply or you confirmed another way?
@@DanegerAndStacey I asked for him the streets and they said he was getting alot of bullshit whatsapp messages
I love Dane's "how do I feel about what I'm eating" face, lol
Totally! That meal was a bloody journey though to be fair
Absolutely loving every minute of these 5 vlogs. Flying from Auckland to Bali in March!!! Can’t wait 😝
Oh shit yeah Eddie - you're gonna have an epic time
Semoga sawah dan hutan di Bali tetap dipertahankan.
love the recent vlogs guys. Me and family were there in July last year (Kuta, Legian & Seminyak) for mine and brother-in-law's birthdays (one day apart). We had so much fun, but it was sad to see so many places run down or closed and abandoned. Looking not too bad now. Planning another trip for NYE 2023 and in to January now!
Yeah it seems like things are really kicking off again! Stoked you've got another trip coming. We havent been to Kuta in years and Legian is an area we probably should check out next time
Absolutely LOVE your Bali vlogs.
It has always been the custom when hiring a Driver to pay ( or at very least offer ) or buy them a meal/ coffee when you stop at a place to eat....sadly a lot of people are not doing this any more ( only thinking of themselves ) and the Balinese are too generous of spirit to ask......so as not to embarress or offend you.
Great fun...great stoy telling.....
Wish you could stay longer in Bali so you could create even more content.
Looking forward to upcoming vlogs in this series.
Thank you......🙏🙏🙏😁
Whoop, thanks Vic! Yeah we've always done the same with drivers, even if its just a bottle of water, a snack or lunch if we're all sitting down together - it feels like the right thing to do and a really nice way to chat and learn about their story. Ari was pretty camera shy, but a lovely guy! Glad youre enjoying the vids
Terimakasih anda sudah berkunjung ke Bali semoga anda berdua menikmati keindahan Bali
Really appreciate the fact that you both show a true perspective of places you travel to. We certainly learn a lot from your incredible vlogs. We also tend to hire cars and bikes when exploring.
Sourcing a driver for the day is sometimes a great option. Certainly in some destinations we’ve visited, Egypt, Tunisia and India where taking to the roads as a visitor would be a little overwhelming if you attempted it yourself!
It’s great to fund a local independent person rather than buying into national or international companies to escort you. You also get a truer reflection of a place and most definitely a more personal experience.
This series is seriously fab. Looking forward to the next episode 😎
Much love 👍👍
Nice! Those are 3 places we've never been, makes sense that there's definitely times having a driver is key regardless where you are in the world. We totally agree with your thoughts on travel too - very alike!
I love Bali.healing and joyful
I first went to Bali in 199, on our honeymoon. I'm so glad we went then, it was a wonderful trip. We just picked accommodation as we went along, some wonderful places. I've been back three other times and the commercialization of Ubud and the Tegalalang rice terraces is sad to see. There are still many lovely spots, but Bali is being overloved.
That's amazing to read, Dianne. We honestly wish we had more experiences like this!
Hey, we’re planning a honeymoon in Bali too and I’d love to know your top locations in and around Bali over all your trips? We definitely want to visit Ubud but cannot seem to decide on the other locations we want to see.
Really enjoyed watching this vlog. The accommodation was insane for that price and the rice terraces were lovely. Very interesting to learn about the multiple points of access and how they'll funnel you down to parts where they try to upsell - knowing things like this is so helpful for when you go as we can just make much more informed decisions, so thank you for the tip off! Whilst the swing may have seemed a little touristy, you guys lucked out arriving when you did as the shot with the long pink skirt was stunning! Can't wait to see the Gili Islands and also see how your transport experience fares!
100% got lucky! How cool that we could 'get the shot' and not even have to buy into the commercialisation of it all 😂 To be fair it is an iconic, and somewhat unique thing, so we can understand people doing it - no real judgement there... but the funneling into one spot was a bit crappy. Oh well, laugh it off and roll with it!
Bali adalah pulau terindah didunia yg penuh dengan ketenangan karna alamnya dan budayanya bukan karna kemewahan gedung2 bertingkat
Love to watch your Bali videos ❤
can wait to go see all these beautiful views myself 😍😍😍
Interesting videos, looking forward to my visit next week
Hi Daneger and Stacey! I apsolutley love your Bali Vlogs! Next time I would love you guys to travel to Japan and do vlogs there!
Hell yeah. Japan is our NUMBER 1 bucket list destination
Great video , Bali looks gorgeous - wow what a find that last place is !
It's a steal at that price huh!
Harriet and I visited Ubud many years ago and enjoyed our time. But, my now it's become so built up. Did you enjoy your time there? We always think it's a good idea to hire a private guide for the obvious reasons (explanation in what you're looking at, best foodie places etc. and most of all helping to support the local economy). As always, your videos are well done, we never miss
one and have seen every one of your videos right from the very beginning. Thank you, guys, for your kind words. It means a lot to us. One day whether it's in New Zealand or the U.S. (Whichever
comes first that Yuki and Nalu can do a meet up. ) . Looking forward to more great videos. Sending you much love from Richmond, Va.🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
P.S. We are doing fine. Hope you are too.
We absolutely LOVED the entire Bali trip, but we once held a special spot for Ubud (we got engaged there) but after what we saw this time we're not so sure it really is that place for us. Gili Air is special (you'll see in videos soon) so that's probably taken the spot for us now!
Wow. Beautiful video 😍
Always miss bali
thanks guys for your amazing vlogs
Visiting those rice terraces is a bucket list item of mine. It just looks so picturesque! I love Stace's idea of a zipline there. How epic would that be? Was there a restaurant overlooking the terraces? Eating a rice dish whilst overlooking rice terraces seemed fitting. Thanks for letting us know about the commercialism. You guys always keep it real! 👍
No worries, we feel like it's really important to share both sides of the story - not just for interesting watching, but so many people end up finding videos like this and then if they have a shit time because we didn't share something we'd feel bad!
Hello 👋🏾 Dane and Stacey it’s alway so lovely to speak to y’all. That monkey 🙉 looked so cute lol. And that food looks delicious. I know I haven’t been commenting, I’ve been really sick. But Bali is so beautiful thanks for sharing your adventures ❤. How have y’all been? How’s the puppy 🐶 doing? Hope y’all had a great New Year’s, I’m so old I fell asleep before it was even midnight lol. Can’t wait for your next video 🥰🥰🥰😉
This was a lovely update! Is your health better now? We've been doing great thanks, loved this Bali trip and though it's hard to be away from Nalu he's in amazing company with Stace's Mum while we're away.
I love you videos and great video🎉
Very nice landscapes where I am very interesting in your video. Thanks for your sharing😍👍
Ubud is beautiful. Loved the Monkey Forest 🙈🙉🙊
The hotel...we are staying there!!! my jaw dropped when i saw lol
Haha cool, hope you love it too!
You guys got some great videos thank you
Appreciate it, thanks
try Warung karya rebo or samsam merekak for babi guling, it is so good!
Thank you its great video
Love Ibu Oka
I’m in Ubud right now and just can’t get enough of babi guling. I don’t understand all these other tourists that only eat non Indonesian food. Makes me sad for them.
Same.
Totally agree! Although we do like indulging in some of the smoothie bowls and salads etc, but for the most part it's all about the Indo meals!
Hi, just found you and the videos are very informative. We are active and older than you so not into an party scene, but I like the beauty of ubud but also the shops of seminyak and Canngu. Which do you prefer?
Thanks for watching! We much prefer Canggu but it is a younger, more 'hip' crowd which can be a bit cringey at times. But comparatively Ubud seems a bit boring and not so interesting to us anymore.
@Daneger and Stacey lol cringey ya I'm really not into the posers and attitude vibe some "hip" places tend to put off. We like quiet and authentic people.
If you didn't like Babi Guling at Ibu Oka try any other place. I've had it at dozens of warungs and twice at Ibu Oka and Ibu Oka is one of the only one I actually didn't like at all.
Good thoughts there, Walter. I think it could be better in other spots
@@DanegerAndStacey love your videos. They're getting me excited for my trip next month.
Loved your vlog family and I are coming to Bali soon I’m concerned about using the tap water for cleaning fruit and vegetables can you recommend a solution for killing bacteria and ecoli ? Thanks
Hey Lynn - bottled water is pretty cheap if you need to wash stuff. If you're staying long enough to buy local fruit etc your best option would be a local 7/11 or mart and buy one of the massive 10-20litre waters and use that to clean stuff
I got mosquito bites all over my body at the rice terraces. Be sure to apply bug spray all over your body before going haha
Hi D&S, love your travel vlogs! Do u have any contact details of the Bali local guide? Are they only located in Ubud? Thanks for advice! :)
Sadly our man Ari had to change his number and now we don't know how to reach him sorry
Hey mate I'm a solo traveller can you recommend a place to stay in ubud I like to mix with people a swim up bar and close to the centre of town $150 a night. Thanks,
HI, how do you book a driver best, especially if you want to combine going from one accommodation to another and doing some sightseeing stops in between? Travelling to Bali in a few months :)
Best to get a drivers details on Whatsapp, sadly Ari changed his number (shame, he's missed loads of business from the comments here!) but another one is Matt on: +62 878 6160 6067
Nice
Hi daneger and stacey your subcriber here in PH....nice to watch you video
Salamat!
@Daneger and Stacey come to incredible India once.... nice videos
Are safe guys? I keep thinking about the news from Auckland flooding..... i hope all your close, near and dear are safe!
Late reply but we're good thank you! Crazy that your comment was about the flooding, then this week we had a bloody cyclone as well!
That felt sooooo good I could almost smell the flavour of Ubud….cracker vid….if I remember correctly…..you guys got engaged in Ubud
You're on it Tony, we did! Glad you could really experience it with us through the vid
How’s DBjourney back pack in terms carrying your camera gear
LOVE! Though you really do need a camera cube to put in there, we don't have the official DB one, but it fits nicely
❤️🥰
U guys still in bali now or this is old vids?
How is your dog? Pictures please 🐶☺️
We'll do an update soon with Nalu!
@@DanegerAndStacey Thank you! I love you two. 🐶

Good call, I will add in the description! Message him on WhatsApp here: +62 821 4632 2315
ICE !!!!! no !!!!!!!
Haha it's common in Asia! Especially the Phillipines from our experience
Ubud is a victim of its popularity. Foreigners crowding it and paving rice terraces and living in concrete villas. 😢
