In a world that often moves too fast, finding time to truly connect with nature and culture can be challenging. But at Tanah Gajah Ubud, there exists an experience that allows you to do just that – The Art of Discovery. This isn’t just a typical tour; it’s a journey that invites you to immerse yourself in the serene beauty and cultural richness of Bali, all while traveling in style in a vibrant vintage VW Safari convertible wagon.

The adventure begins early at Tanah Gajah Ubud, where your personal guide and driver will be waiting with the classic VW Safari, ready to whisk you away on an unforgettable exploration of Ubud and its outskirts. Setting off at 8:00 am ensures that you can experience the island’s most iconic sites before the day’s heat sets in.

Unlike other tours that stick to the beaten path, The Art of Discovery takes you down narrow streets and alleys, avoiding the main roads in favor of more peaceful, traffic-free routes. These hidden paths reveal a side of Ubud that many travelers miss – quiet villages, lush rice paddies, and stunning natural landscapes that feel like a world away from the busy tourist hubs.

 

Your first destination is the sacred Tirta Empul Water Temple, a site of spiritual significance where locals and visitors alike come to cleanse their bodies and souls in its holy waters. The temple’s ancient architecture and tranquil surroundings create an atmosphere of reverence and peace.
 

Next, you’ll head to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, one of Bali’s most famous and photographed landscapes. Here, you can marvel at the intricate layers of emerald-green rice paddies, which have been carved into the hillside over centuries. The terraces are a testament to the island’s rich agricultural heritage and the harmonious relationship between the Balinese people and their environment.

 

But the journey doesn’t end there. After your morning of exploration, you’ll be driven to a true hidden gem – Dua Dari, a Residence by Hadiprana. This secluded oasis, which remains the private vacation home of the Hadiprana family, offers a level of tranquility that is hard to find, even in the lush surroundings of Ubud. Nestled within a verdant landscape, Dua Dari exudes an air of exclusivity and calm.
 

Upon arrival, the friendly butlers will guide you down a staircase shaded by fragrant frangipani trees to the Balai Barong. Here, you’ll enjoy a traditional Balinese lunch, meticulously prepared to reflect the island’s vibrant culinary heritage. As you savor each dish, accompanied by refreshing iced tea, the serene atmosphere of Dua Dari will wash over you, offering a moment of pure relaxation after your morning’s adventures.

 

Before returning to Tanah Gajah Ubud, take your time to soak in the beauty of Dua Dari. Wander the lush grounds, breathe in the fresh, fragrant air, and let the peaceful surroundings rejuvenate your spirit.

 

The Art of Discovery is more than just a tour; it’s a journey that allows you to experience the true essence of Bali, from its sacred temples and iconic landscapes to its hidden sanctuaries of tranquility. Whether you’re seeking adventure, culture, or simply a moment of peace, this experience offers it all, making it one of the most iconic VW tours in Bali.
