The experience

The ocean walker activity happens at Tanjung Benoa beach, where you'll walk along the seafloor in shallow water wearing a helmet with an air supply. All equipment is provided. The center there runs water sports, so the setup is established and the safety protocols are built in. After you finish, you shower and change, then eat a light lunch with a soft drink before moving on to the temples.

Pura Taman Ayun sits in Mengwi and dates to 1634, a royal family temple with multi-tiered shrines, lotus-dotted pools, and water features set into lush gardens. From there you continue to Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest, a 12-hectare sanctuary in Kutuh village where hundreds of grey long-tailed macaques live among the trees. The forest holds a temple too, Pura Dalem Kahyangan Kedaton, and the operator notes the atmosphere is calm and quiet.

The day ends at Tanah Lot Sea Temple, which stands on a rock outcropping in the sea and faces the Indian Ocean. The temple is dedicated to the God of the Sea and was founded in the 16th century. You'll be there for the sunset, then transfer back to your hotel by 7pm. A private air-conditioned car and an English-speaking driver are with you the whole time.
