The experience
Nine to eleven hours takes you through four stops that anchor most first-time visits to Bali. Tanah Lot Temple sits on a rock just offshore, built in the 15th century by the Hindu priest Nirartha. The rock underneath has a natural hole, which is where the temple's name comes from. From there the route climbs inland to Jatiluwih, where over 700 hectares of rice fields follow the hillside topography of the Batukaru mountain range. The scale alone makes it worth the drive, and it holds UNESCO World Heritage status. The terraces are the biggest in Bali and the view changes as you move through them.
Banyumala Waterfall comes next, set in lush forest with three separate water drops and a natural pool at the base. The final stop is Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, a 17th-century shrine on the western shore of Lake Bratan, dedicated to the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. It's the most photographed temple in Bali and the lake setting is what makes it distinctive. Lunch happens during the day, and bottled water travels with you. An air-conditioned minivan keeps the heat manageable across the hours, and your driver provides commentary in English at each site.
Hotel pickup and drop-off mean you don't need a rental car or a taxi negotiation. The route is fixed, so the stops fit into a single day without backtracking. All entry fees and taxes are built into the price.
