East Bali Tour

The wild, regal side of the island - the Gates of Heaven at Lempuyang, the royal water palace of Tirta Gangga, the grand pools of Taman Ujung, and Bali's holiest temple on the slopes of Mount Agung.

What You'll Do

Lempuyang, Bali
Stop 1

Lempuyang Temple - Gates of Heaven

Bali's most photographed split gate, framing Mount Agung on a clear morning. We arrive early to beat the queue, and your guide will handle the ticket, sarong, and the famous mirror photo so you don't waste half the day waiting in line.
Tirta, Bali
Stop 2

Tirta Gangga Water Palace

A former royal garden built around tiered fountains and koi-filled pools, with stepping stones you can walk across the water on. Peaceful, green, and endlessly photogenic - one of East Bali's most underrated stops.
Stop 3

Taman Ujung Water Palace

The grand water palace of the Karangasem royal family - a spread of reflecting ponds, ornate bridges, and hillside pavilions framed by Mount Agung and the sea. Elegant, photogenic, and an easy stroll - a perfect pairing with Tirta Gangga.
Besakih Temple, Bali
Stop 4

Besakih - The Mother Temple

Bali's largest and holiest temple complex, built in terraces up the slope of Mount Agung. More than 20 temples in one sanctuary, still the spiritual centre of the island after a thousand years. Sarong and guide included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the price per person or per car?

Per car - one price covers up to 5 people, so a fuller car costs less per head. Groups of 6 or more simply take a second car. Only the Exclusive version adds a per-person part: the entrance tickets.

Are entrance tickets included?

Your choice, via the Standard / Exclusive toggle above. Standard keeps tickets out - you pay at each gate, only for the places you enter. Exclusive includes the tickets for the listed stops, so the whole day is prepaid.

How do I book and pay?

Pick your date, tap Book, and confirm on WhatsApp. A 10% deposit secures your car and driver; the balance is paid in cash or by transfer at the end of the tour. Guests staying at our villas skip the deposit entirely.

How does the Gates of Heaven photo queue work?

It can get long by midday - which is why we start early. Your guide handles the ticket, sarong, and the mirror-photo line, and an optional fast pass lets you skip the queue.

I get carsick - how winding is the road?

Honestly: the east route curls through the mountains. Sit up front, keep the air-con cool, and remember the car is yours - we stop whenever you need a break.
