About this tour
Explore Bali's eastern reaches on a seven-hour circuit through three distinct landscapes. Start in Tenganan Village, where the Bali Aga people maintain centuries-old customs within a planned settlement untouched by outside influence. Continue to Tirta Gangga, a water palace where ornamental pools and manicured grounds blend Balinese and Chinese design. Close out at a pristine stretch of white-sand coast. Private transport with air conditioning included; bring spending money for entries and meals.
Highlights
- Tenganan Village: observe Bali Aga traditions and closed-off settlement design
- Tirta Gangga: stroll ornamental gardens and palace water features
- White-sand beach: relax at lesser-known coastal swim spot
- Private vehicle: avoid shared-coach experience
- Seven-hour loop: manageable day without pre-dawn starts
What to expect
You'll travel inland first to Tenganan, a walled village where residents follow rules dating to pre-Hindu settlement. The layout and lifestyle differ markedly from surrounding areas—expect narrow paths, traditional dress on ceremony days, and locals going about daily tasks. From there, the journey swings to Tirta Gangga's landscaped grounds: manicured paths, reflecting pools, and architectural detail. Finally, you'll reach the beach for a coastal finish. Roads are sealed but winding; the pace is leisurely with stops for photos and looking around.
Good to know
Entrance fees and lunch are separate costs. Wear sunscreen and bring cash for village visits and beach vendors. The route involves prolonged sitting and some walking on uneven village paths. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with serious back or heart conditions.
