Experience the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and exquisite temple scenes of Bali during this bespoke, full-day sightseeing excursion with lunch.

Benoa, Scenic Drive, Lush Vegetation, Denpasar, Mengwi Village, Perean Hamlet, Local Fruits

Depart the pier with your guide for the incredibly scenic, approximately 1.5-hour drive by van to the Taman Ayun Temple. En route, traverse the middle of Bali Island along bumpy, countryside roads lined with lush vegetation. Pass through Denpasar, the capital city of Bali, main gateway to the island and a hub for other cities in the Lesser Sunda Islands, then continue through Mengwi Village and Perean Hamlet. This countryside is a major producer of tropical fruits and agricultural products found throughout Bali, but the seasonal fruits grown here, including Perean durian, mangosteen, and rambutan, maintain their own unique characteristics and flavours. During the fruit season here, many traders sell fruit on the side of the road.  

Taman Ayun Temple, Uma Luwang, Coffee & Cacao Plant-Viewing, Vegetable Farms, Plantations

Upon arrival at the Taman Ayun Temple, take a guided walking tour. Built in the 16th century, this beautiful and enchanting royal family temple holds a very sophisticated architectural design compared to other Hindu temples in Bali. Explore the outer-and-middle courtyards and temple grounds. Along the way, see various pavilions and community buildings utilised for the temple’s operations, activities, meetings, worship, etc. Leaving the Taman Ayun Temple, a comfort and photo stop are made at the small village of Uma Luwang, where you can view coffee and cocoa plants growing first-hand. Afterward, pass by rice fields, vegetable farms, and plantations growing rice, cocoa, coffee, and cloves en route to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.

Jatiluwih, Cascading Rice Terraces, Vibrant Green Hues, Undulating Slopes

A hidden gem tucked way amidst the lush landscapes of Bali, Jatiluwih is home to Bali’s largest rice terraces, which span over 14 miles (about 23 kilometres) and are harvested three times per year. Take a guided walking tour amidst a beautiful panorama to the rice fields, and learn about how rice is produced and the local way of life here. Marvel at the cascading terraces of this awe-inspiring landscape. This captivating scenery stretches as far as the eye can see, and greets your arrival with an expansive mosaic of vibrant green hues cascading down its undulating slopes. The terraces are meticulously carved into the contours of the picturesque countryside, and offer breath-taking panoramic views and photo opportunities.

Lunch, Countryside, Tabanan Regency, Rice Paddies, Black-Sand Beaches, Tana Lot Temple

Next, walk towards to a local restaurant for lunch at your own expense and accompanied by splendid views of the rice terraces. After lunch, re-board your coach and drive through the Balinese countryside of the Tabanan Regency, renowned for its rice paddies and picturesque, black-sand beaches. Your final stop is an exterior visit to the Tana Lot Temple. Upon arrival, take a guided walk to the temple’s beautiful beachfront location, perched on an outcrop above the crashing waves below. View this iconic temple from several strategic viewpoints, including one in which the temple appears to be floating on air. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 1.75-hour drive back to the pier.
