The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"Known as Bali’s “floating temple,” Pura Ulun Danu Bratan is a 17th-century Hindu-Buddhist temple set against a backdrop of lush green mountains and Lake Bratan, the second-largest lake in Bali. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is comprised of several shrines and pagoda-like structures, the most notable being the meru, a multi-tiered shrine dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, lakes, and rivers, located on a small island on the lake. The architecture is classic Balinese Hindu design, with ornate carvings, statues, and intricate details. There are several smaller temples within the complex, each with a unique purpose, including shrines for offerings to other deities. If you're wanting to combine culture with natural beauty on a trip through Bali's mountainous heart, here, you can also explore the nearby Sekumpul, Gitgit, or Munduk waterfalls." - Travis Levius

We enjoyed our visit here. There are many people however since the place is quite big, it can accommodate a large number of people. The weather is cool. This place is good for family time. There is a park and play area for kids. Coffee shops and restaurants are also available inside.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a truly beautiful spot and definitely worth a visit if you're exploring central Bali. Located right on the edge of Lake Beratan, the temple appears to float on the water, especially when the lake is calm — it's a stunning sight, especially in the early morning light. The temple grounds are spacious, well-kept, and filled with colorful gardens and traditional Balinese structures. It has a calm and peaceful atmosphere, making it a nice break from the more crowded tourist areas. The surrounding mountain scenery adds to the sense of tranquility. There are helpful signs throughout the complex giving some background on the temple's cultural and spiritual significance, and the area is well-organized for visitors. It's also a great spot for photos, though it can get a bit busy during peak hours. Overall, Ulun Danu Beratan offers a unique mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage — a very rewarding stop for anyone traveling through the region.

This place is super great, views are exceptional!! Definitely worth it to visit. The lake is very big, there’s speed boat riding which was awesome for hot weather. The temple is so beautiful and there are nice gardens that have very colorful flowers. Every corner is the photo spot. The food of the restaurant was not bad either. We enjoyed the wonderful views a lot.

Ulun Danu Beratan is truly one of the most picturesque spots in Bali — beautifully set against the serene Lake Beratan with mountains in the background. The gardens are well-maintained, making it a perfect place for photography and relaxation. There are plenty of photo-worthy spots throughout the area, and you can even rent traditional Balinese costumes for a fun and memorable photoshoot. A few restaurants are available nearby for a convenient bite. There's also a small petting area and a pet-feeding session available where, for a fee, you can hold an owl, bat, and a few other gentle animals — a unique experience! And if you're up for a bit of adventure, you can enjoy a boat ride around the lake. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic cultural stop in Bali.

Visited Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and had a lovely experience! It’s a stunning Hindu temple located right on the lake, creating a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for photos. The entry ticket was affordable, and the place is very well maintained. They have clean and modern toilets, which was a big plus. There are also professional photographers on site who can take your pictures if you’d like. They offer traditional Balinese dress rentals for photos, which looked amazing — but unfortunately, we didn’t do it as the wait time was over 2 hours. Still, it was a great visit and definitely worth stopping by if you’re exploring central Bali!

The temple is really beautiful but in my opinion it has become a theme park. Besides the temple, it has places with dinosaurs, a place to feed fish. They charge 75000 per person and inside they charge to get a photo with balinese clothes, to go to the toilet, the parking. I wouldn't come back

A very nice temple located near the lake — peaceful and beautifully maintained. The area is well organized, with restaurants, cafés. There’s also boat rental available and a children’s play area. A great spot for a family outing or a relaxing day by the water.
