Description
Spend a full day exploring the best of North Bali and the famous Tanah Lot Temple on this relaxed private tour, designed for travelers who want to see stunning nature, classic Balinese temples, and iconic photo spots in one easy trip. Starting with a comfortable hotel pick-up between 08:30 and 09:00, your friendly driver-guide will take you up into the cooler highlands, where lush mountains, lakes, and rice fields create a totally different side of Bali compared to the busy southern beaches. This tour is perfect if you love beautiful scenery, gentle temple visits, and plenty of time to take photos without feeling rushed.
During the day, you will visit the famous Handara Gate, one of Bali’s most photographed spots, framed by misty hills and green landscapes. Then you continue to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, a stunning water temple that seems to float on Lake Beratan, offering peaceful vibes and amazing views. After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, you head down to Taman Ayun Temple, a royal family temple with wide gardens, lotus ponds, and traditional multi-tiered shrines. As the day softens into late afternoon, you will make your way to Tanah Lot, one of Bali’s most iconic sea temples, where waves crash dramatically against the rocks and the golden light makes the whole scene feel magical.
What makes this tour special is the combination of mountain, lake, and ocean landscapes in just one day, all while traveling in a private car with a driver who also happily helps you take photos. You can enjoy the journey at your own pace, stop for quick photo breaks, and soak in the fresh air of North Bali’s highlands before ending with the unforgettable sight of Tanah Lot. With parking and fuel covered, and a flexible schedule that brings you back to your hotel around 18:30–19:00, this is an easy, comfortable way to experience some of Bali’s most beautiful and memorable spots in a single, fun-filled day.
