All Top Experiences

Tanah Lot

The dramatic and venerated sea temple of Tanah Lot (8.2km) is perched on a craggy wave-lashed rock just at the edge of the frothing surf and glistening black shoreline. Dedicated to the sea spirits, it is probably the most photographed sight in Bali, especially in the late afternoon when its splendid profile is silhouetted against the setting sun.

Kintamani

Take a day trip to Kintamani (56km) to see one of Bali’s most photographed volcanoes. Here, you can enjoy locally harvested coffee or an Indonesian buffet lunch while marvelling at the spectacular views of Mt Batur and the crescent-shaped Lake Batur, set within the gigantic caldera of an extinct volcano.

Echo Beach

Echo Beach aka Pantai Batu Mejan (3km) is a rugged black sand beach featuring rocky reef shelves and a significant Balinese Hindu sea temple on site. It’s not safe for swimming but still attracts plenty of surfers for the advanced reef breaks, and beach lovers for the 180-degree seascape and sunsets. A raised promenade runs parallel to the coastline.
