About this tour

What to expect
You'll start early from your accommodation and travel north into Bali's cooler highlands. The Handara Gate is a quick stop for photos before you reach Taman Ayun, where you can walk the grounds and observe the intricate multi-tiered roofs. Ulun Danu offers peaceful lakeside views and time to explore the temple's spiritual atmosphere. After lunch at a local spot (your choice), you'll drive to the coast. At Tanah Lot, expect crowds, especially as sunset approaches, but the temple's dramatic positioning makes it worth the effort. You'll return to your hotel after dark.

Wear smart casual clothing and remove shoes when entering temples. Sarongs are provided where needed. The tour involves moderate walking and some steps; those with heart conditions should reconsider.
