Witness Ubud in its quietest, most magical hour — before the sun fully rises and before the tourist crowds arrive. The Ubud Morning Market Tour gives you a rare glimpse into daily local life, when the streets are still calm, traffic is minimal, and the town is just beginning to stir.
Begin your journey with your guide leading you through the busy traditional market lanes and take in the sights. You’ll see local traders with fresh produce, herbs, spices, colourful tropical fruit and snacks. Witness the morning routine of Balinese and Indonesians alike — selecting ingredients, bargaining, and preparing for the day ahead.
Pause for tastings of sweet and savory jajan pagi (morning snacks) such as pisang goreng (fried banana), sticky rice treats, and a warm bowl of bubur kacang ijo (mung bean porridge). You’ll also sample rare local honey from wild stingless bees — a flavour many visitors never get to try. If you wish, you’re free to buy fresh tropical fruit, vegetables, spices, or honey from the market stalls to take home.
As we read the end of the Ubud morning market, we’ll sit together to enjoy a coffee at one of our favourite cafes that serves Balinese Arabica from a variety of regions across the island. If you’re not into coffee, we’ll recommend some tasty alternatives like their aromatic ginger latte or rosella tea.
