The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel and a drive into the Balinese countryside, away from the main tourist routes. You'll visit Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, which floats on a lake, then move inland through the jungle toward Mt. Batukaru's tropical foothills to reach the Jatiluwih rice terraces: emerald-green stepped fields that UNESCO recognizes as a cultural landscape. The scale of the terraces and the work visible in them is the kind of thing that stops you mid-walk.

From there, you continue to Taman Ayun Temple, an ancient royal temple and garden that belonged to the Menguwi Kingdom, before heading back toward the coast. Lunch, a buffet meal, is included partway through the day. Your guide drives a private air-conditioned vehicle and speaks your language, so the stops and the route make sense as you go, not after the fact.

The tour ends at Tanah Lot Temple, an ancient Hindu temple built on the sea, timed so you arrive for sunset. You watch from the coast as the light changes, then the driver takes you back to your hotel. The whole day runs 10 hours. Bottled water is provided throughout, and all taxes and fees are included in the price you book.

What are the four temples I'll visit on this Bali tour?

The tour includes Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, which sits on a lake; Taman Ayun Temple, an ancient royal temple and garden from the Menguwi Kingdom; Tanah Lot Temple, built on the sea where you watch the sunset; and a stop at a fourth temple as part of the countryside route. Your guide will explain the history and significance of each one.

How much time do I spend at the Jatiluwih rice terraces?

The Jatiluwih rice terraces are a main stop on the tour, not a quick photo point. You have time to walk through the stepped fields and see the scale of the landscape, which is why they're recognized by UNESCO as a cultural landscape worth protecting.

Hotel pickup and drop-off from Seminyak, a private air-conditioned vehicle, a guide who speaks English, Arabic, Russian or Chinese, a buffet lunch, bottled water, and all taxes and fees are included. Entrance tickets to the temples are not included and are paid separately.

Can I book this tour for just two people, or do I need a larger group?

The minimum is two people per booking. The tour is priced for groups of 2 to 3, 4 to 6, or 7 or more, so you select your group size at checkout and the price adjusts accordingly.

What time does the tour start and end?

The tour runs 10 hours total and includes hotel pickup, so the start time depends on your hotel location and the driver's pickup schedule. The timing is arranged so you arrive at Tanah Lot Temple on the coast for sunset, then return to your hotel afterward.
