The experience
If you've just landed in Bali or have a free day and want to see the island's most recognizable landmarks without piecing together transport and entry fees, this tour bundles the route, the guide, and all the tickets into one booking. You're picked up from your hotel and driven through west Bali in a private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide who knows the stops and the timing. The day moves through four major sites, each one a different kind of Bali: the sea temple, the crater lake temple, the rice terraces, and the waterfall.
Tanah Lot Temple sits on a rock formation just offshore, and you'll have time to walk the grounds and photograph it from the beach. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple floats on the edge of a crater lake and was built in the 17th century to honor the lake goddess. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces spread across the Tabanan Regency in meticulously carved paddies that are UNESCO-listed. The village itself sits high enough that you see the whole landscape at once. Banyumala Twin waterfall is a short trek through tropical forest, and when you reach it, you can swim in the natural pool or just sit in the quiet away from crowds.
Lunch happens at a local restaurant partway through the day. Bottled water is provided, and the vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters on a 10-hour itinerary. Depending on which option you choose at checkout, all entry tickets are included, or you arrange Tanah Lot separately and the rest are covered.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 11 years). Children under 4 can't be included in the booking.
What is Tanah Lot Temple and why is it famous in Bali?
Tanah Lot Temple is an iconic Hindu sea temple built on a rock formation just off the coast in Tabanan Regency. Its name means "Land in the Sea," and it's one of Bali's most important temples dedicated to the sea gods, known for its dramatic location and spiritual significance.
Can I swim at Banyumala Twin waterfall?
Yes. Banyumala Twin waterfall has a natural pool where you can swim. The waterfall is reached by a short trek through tropical forest, and the site is quieter than many other waterfalls on the island.
Are the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces really UNESCO-listed?
Yes. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces in Tabanan Regency are UNESCO Heritage Site rice fields. The village sits at a high point where you can see the entire expanse of meticulously cultivated paddies at once.
Is lunch included in this tour?
Lunch at a local restaurant is included in the all-inclusive option. The meal happens partway through the day as part of the 10-hour itinerary.
What's the difference between the two booking options?
The "All-Inclusive Tanah Lot Tour" includes entry to all four sites: Tanah Lot Temple, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, and Banyumala Twin waterfall. The "Tanah Lot Tour-No Ticket" option does not include the Tanah Lot Temple ticket, so you pay for that entry separately at the site.
How long is the drive to each stop?
The tour runs 10 hours total and covers west and north Bali. The exact drive times between stops vary, but the guide plans the route so all four sites fit inside a single day with time to explore each one and stop for lunch.
