    Just okay
    Rice terraces as far as the eye can see. I came here, via private driver, on a Tuesday in mid-December 2022. I understand why people come here but to me, it's just not worth the effort to get out here. It's out in the middle of nowhere and it's really out of the way. I'm glad I came here, I just think you can see rice terraces all over Bali. It's unique in that there are so many of them though. We came here and had lunch with a nice view of the terraces. It was really rainy so we didn't go too far in. I did enjoy the scenery with my lunch though. Make sure you bring cash for the entrance ticket.

    Good! But a long time way.
    Enjoyable stop at this location to see the incredible rice fields and locals working in them. Very picturesque. There’s a short walk but very little else. It’s also a long way to visit, a bit of of the ‘beaten track’ and therefore not the quickest journey.

    Breathtaking views of the rice fields in Jatiluwih Green Fields
    This was one of the best parts of the tour! The fields are incredible to see firsthand and we had a delicious lunch overlooking the green lands. Gusti yogi did a great job explaining the agricultural concepts of the fields.

    Nice Rice Fields!
    I would give Rice Terraces 5 stars. This place is a hidden gem, especially compared to the touristy crowds in Ubud. It offers a more peaceful and authentic experience that truly captures the beauty and essence of Bali. The staff at Rice Terraces are incredibly warm and welcoming. They greet you with genuine smiles and are always happy to assist you with anything you need. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. The food here is amazing. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from traditional Balinese dishes to international cuisine. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The atmosphere at Rice Terraces is relaxing and tranquil. The restaurant is surrounded by lush rice paddies, which provides a stunning backdrop for your dining experience. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the beauty of Bali. In summary, I highly recommend Rice Terraces. It's a true hidden gem that offers exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a peaceful atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic Balinese dining experience away from the tourist crowds, this is the place to be.

    Rice terraces, the authentic way
    You'll hear far more about the Tegallalang rice terraces, set just outside Ubud - and hence, on the checklist of every tour company in Bali. If you want to post the 1,263,988th standard "flowing dress shot on a swing over a rice field" photo on your IG feed, then head straight for Tegallalang. If, however, you want to see the true beauty of the Balinese countryside and culture, then head for Jatiluwih. Sure, it's 1.5 hours outside Ubud, but it's worth it. The views are stunning, the water flowing is clear, you'll have charming encounters with people, cows, and dogs. As a bonus, there's not a single swing in sight. Learn first about "subak", the rice cultivation method used in Bali since the 9th century, and how the temples are tied to the water, and the water to the rice system. It's fascinating. Yes, this fully deserves its UNESCO status. Make time to see it if you're in Bali. TIP: Wear good walking shoes if you're doing the longer walks. Watch out near the edges of paths, as overgrown grass can hide little irrigation canals = wet feet if you slip. Cycling is also an option on some trails.

    Worth a detour to see these stunning terraces.
    Visited as part of a day visiting temples and as we around the area, we wished to view these UNESCO rice terraces. They are quite stunning and it was well worth the detour to see them. We ate overlooking some terraces in a little restaurant called The Gafel. My lunch was by far the spiciest meal of our trip to Bali and it was a real change not to feel the spice had been dumbed down for my palate. I mention this restaurant in this review as I have not located any entry on TA for it. Whilst we were taking photos, we had people working the field posing and shouting for us to take their photos as well. On the drive towards the terraces, we had to stop in a long queue of traffic as what appeared the whole of one village were crossing the road from one side to the other as part of a funeral procession towards the burial grounds. There were so many people and the road was blocked for quite a while, that they had even got people controlling the traffic afterwards. Entrance fee to the terraces to drive through was IDR40k each and IDR5k as we had a camera.

    Neat
    Various length of easy to follow walking trails depending on your energy level. Bring water especially on a hot day. The tiered landscape with 3 sessions a year planting is beautiful to look at. When the rice is ready they stop the drainage so the terrain is dry to harvest.

    Fresh air, not crowded!
    I have been to tegalalang before and thought Jatiluwih might be a new experience. It was my partner's first time to Bali and I chose Jatiluwih this round because of the mountainous background. It was the last stop of our North Bali day tour. The air was fresh and we enjoyed the tranquil sounds of nature and cooling tempoerature at the rice terraces. There were no crowds at all and you can take photos everywhere without people in the background. I gave 4 stars because unfortunately the rice had already been harvested when we were there so we didn't have the lush green views. No touristy souvenir shops or specially set-up Instagram spots but Jatiluwih felt very local and vast. There was a cafe for drinks and food overlooking the fields. Hopefully we can see the rice plants the next time.

    Authentic rice terraces which are a must-see in Bali
    We visited these stunning rice terraces and rice paddies in August as part of a private tour. The scenery was stunning and we enjoyed trekking through the rice terraces and stopping off for fresh coconut along the way. There were only a few tourists around when we visited which was welcome given how busy most tourist sights are in Bali. Highly recommended.

    Great experience
    Amazing place, just kilometres of rice paddies and terraces. You can walk around the terraces and around the rice fields, there is a paved walking track and for cyclists. It is a truly amazing sight and well worth the trip up there.

The Jatiluwih rice terraces in north Bali are an oasis of beautiful greenery, peace, and countryside serenity. Yes, there are tourists, but unlike the hoards that descend on the rice terraces in Ubud to go on the swings and nests for Instagram likes, in Jatiluwih there is enough space for people to walk and bike while surrounded by the lush terrace fields and no gimmicky distractions. A very nice place indeed!

Beautiful views of the rice terraces for miles and miles. As this is a higher elevation it is also considerably cooler that in the jungle.

The walks are well signposted and easy under foot.

Only thing worth knowing is take food and drink with you as once you’re in the fields on the paths, there isn’t much. Occasional local selling over priced coconuts and Coca Cola, but that’s it. There are cafes and restaurants in the car park areas though!

Thoroughly recommend for a more relaxing day!

Uplifted land made into terraces with ingenuity and incredible hard labor with a complex irrigation system to grow rice. Oh! Did I mention how beautiful the landscape is? There are different walking trails around the area to view the landscape from several perspectives.

Very beautiful and picturesque place, you must visit if you are nearby. It is better to come in the morning or in the late afternoon, it is too hot during the day, you can get a heat stroke.

Being the biggest rice terrace in bali and under UNESCO heritage, this place is underrated.
It is less crowded with tourists. It is just a massive beautiful scenery where you can hike short trails and rent a regular or electric bike.
You can also have a nice lunch at any of the restaurants overlooking the terrace.
