Bali Charm Full-Day Bedugul and Tanah Lot Tour — Ulun Danu, Jatiluwih & Tanah Lot Sunset
Spend a day crossing Bali’s highlands and west coast—Ulun Danu’s lake temple, the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih rice terraces, and the sunset spectacle at Tanah Lot. This full-day private tour bundles admissions, pickup, and a local guide-driver so you can focus on the views and local stories.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress respectfully for temples
Carry a sarong and modest top or be prepared to borrow/rent one at temple entrances; shoulders and knees should be covered.
Start early for clearer light
Morning visits to Jatiluwih and Ulun Danu avoid haze and crowds—Tanah Lot is best timed for sunset.
Bring cash for small purchases
Small stalls, offerings, and optional rentals (sarongs, umbrellas) often take cash only—carry ID and small bills.
Stay hydrated and pack layers
Upland areas are cooler and roadside walking can be dusty—bring a refillable bottle and a light jacket.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning walk at Jatiluwih before tour buses arrive; small warungs near the terraces serving local tempeh and rice.
- •A short stop at a roadside spice stall en route to Bedugul—buy clove or vanilla as a small, local souvenir.
Wildlife
- •Long-tailed macaque (in monkey sanctuary areas)
- •Various rice-field birds such as egrets and kingfishers
Conservation Note
Jatiluwih’s UNESCO listing highlights traditional water management and encourages responsible tourism; stick to marked paths to protect terraces and local agriculture.
Taman Ayun was built in the 17th century as a royal temple complex for the Mengwi dynasty; Bali’s subak irrigation system dates back centuries and integrates community, water, and religion.

Common Questions
Do I need to bring a sarong for the temples?
Yes—temples require modest dress; you can rent or borrow sarongs at many sites but bringing your own saves time.
How long is the tour and what time does it start?
The tour runs about 10 hours from hotel pickup; exact pickup time varies but expect an early morning departure to fit all highlights.
Is lunch included?
Lunch is usually included in all-inclusive versions; confirm with your operator if a specific restaurant or menu details matter to you.
Can this tour be customized?
This is a private tour, so optional stops (waterfalls, botanical gardens, Handara Gate) can often be added if time permits—discuss priorities with your guide.
Is Tanah Lot accessible at high tide?
Tanah Lot is visitable year-round; access near the rock base depends on tide—timing your visit for low tide gives different photo opportunities than sunset views at higher tide.
Are the roads and walking areas stroller or wheelchair friendly?
Many temple compounds have steps and uneven paths; the vehicle ride is comfortable but full accessibility at each stop varies—ask in advance for specific needs.
