Tanah Lot

It's a beautiful place. The atmosphere here is truly captivating. The grounds are large and well-maintained, with many interesting spots where you can capture a moment for a beautiful souvenir. If the weather is nice and there aren't many tourists, you can relax and soak up the atmosphere. The ticket price is undoubtedly good for this place. The best way to get here is by scooter. I also met guides who shared stories and guided tourists around.

The church itself is beautiful. It's worth a visit. We were there during low tide, so we could get quite close to the church and even went to a part of it. To go up, the local priests must first bless you, and then they'll let you onto the stairs. I don't think the church itself is open to tourists. It wasn't crowded, which was also a plus.

Be warned, the temple on Tanah Lot is inaccessible to tourists. Even after "donating" for some water ritual, all you can access is a small flight of stairs to a closed gate and you will start wondering what those water ritual is all about. We were later told that the temple is only open to Balinese for prayer. If they had told us earlier or a simple sign board stating this, I would have skip that water ritual plus "donation" which felt more like a tourist trap. Just walk around the beaches which is pretty nice.

Amazing temple on the rocks just slightly out in the water. Need to come when low tide to get across as the path is closed at high tide. Best to bring a pair of sandals so you can change in case the water is coming in. You get blessed the bottom by the priests and then you can go a little way up the steps but not right to the temple. Great views by the temple ND around the grounds. There are some restaurants up on the cliffs that over look the temple. There is also a market as you walk from the entrance to the temple.

Tanah Lot is truly an amazing place with stunning views and a unique atmosphere. There are many temples here, though most are restricted for tourists. One of the main temples has a ship-like shape, and you need to pay an entry fee to go inside, where rituals are still maintained. The black rocks and cliffs against the ocean waves create an incredible scene — especially when the waves splash onto the rocks. The entry ticket is around IDR 35,000. Be aware of a small “holy snake” attraction — they charge extra, but honestly, there isn’t much to see there. Walking around the area is very nice, and the sunset view is simply breathtaking — one of the best experiences in Bali. Getting here from Kuta can take time because of heavy traffic, especially near the Finns Beach Club area, so plan your journey accordingly. Overall, highly recommended for anyone visiting Bali!

A must-visit cultural and scenic landmark in Bali! Tanah Lot is absolutely breathtaking, with the ocean. The coastal views are stunning, and the spiritual atmosphere adds a unique charm. One of Bali’s most iconic spots, this temple is stunning on clear days and at sunset. Expect strong winds and waves that add to its dramatic charm. Explore both sides of the temple for unique views. Nearby, a lively market offers reasonably priced souvenirs from local vendors There are a couple of special experiences here — you can view the holy snake (for a fee) and receive spring water near the entrance in the ocean. The area is popular with tourists, so expect crowds, but it’s well-managed with lots of local shops and stalls along the way. A beautiful blend of nature, culture, and tradition — highly recommended!

Being there two times in weekend. Better to go with high tide as the temple is surrounded by water. We went walking so no issues with parking. Quite busy especially at sunset.

Entrance is a bit pricey, seeing that they want you time spend more money inside on souvenirs (some very persistent vendors), toilet entrance fees and donations at the temple. Pity that temple is currently closed for renovations. Great views and a good experience, but for me personally a bit underwhelming.
