The experience
The day starts with pickup from your accommodation at 2pm in a private air-conditioned car. The driver speaks English and handles the route to both temples, so you arrive without navigating or arranging transport yourself. Taman Ayun comes first: a traditional Balinese temple built on land and ringed by large fishponds in Mengwi Regency. The temple's layout and the water around it give you a sense of how Balinese sacred spaces sit inside the landscape.
Tanah Lot is the centerpiece. The temple sits on a rock island in the middle of the sea, and it was built as a place of worship for Dang Hyang Nirartha, who brought Hinduism to Bali. The rock itself and the temple on top of it create the view most people come for, especially as the sun drops toward the water. You stand on the clifftop watching the light change, the ocean moving below, and the temple silhouetted against the sky. The tour is timed so you are there for the sunset, not before or after it.
The tour runs about six hours total. If you book an Inclusion Tour option, entrance tickets to both temples are already paid for. If you choose the Regular Tour, you buy tickets at each site. Either way, you get mineral water during the drive, free Wi-Fi, and insurance included. The car is comfortable and air-conditioned, which matters on a Bali afternoon.
Is this one for you?Book the Inclusion Tour if you want tickets purchased in advance so you can enter both temples without stopping at gates. Choose the Regular Tour if you'd rather buy entry tickets on-site or skip one of the temples.
