What To Expect
Lempuyang Temple
While avid hikers will love the blend of mountains and cultural excursions that Bali's eastern region has to offer, those unwilling to take on the ascent up to the peak at Lempuyang Temple can still enjoy the splendid views at the grand Pura Penataran Agung temple at the foot of the mountain. The first to come into view on the pilgrimage, this temple offers an impressive sight with its towering dragon staircases – perfect for photos. The best views are higher up the stairs, where you can see all the way across the green forested slopes and neighboring Mount Agung, Bali's highest peak and abode of Besakih Temple. There are many motorcycle taxis operated by local villagers that can take you up where the asphalt ends at the Penataran Agung for a negotiable fee. They are convenient for those who wish to start their climb quicker, shortening the time on foot from the parking area.
Tirta Gangga
The gardens of Tirta Gangga Water Palace show a unique mix of Balinese and Chinese architecture. The grounds of the water garden (ca 1.2 ha.) consists of three separate complexes each with ponds and many sculptures. The complex on the lowest level has two large ponds and a water tower. At the second complex (middle level) of the Bali water palace are the swimming pools. The third level houses the main complex with the country home of the former Raja. Nowadays one can find a restaurant and four bungalow units in this former country home of Raja A.A. Anglurah Ketut Karangasem. Building water gardens, including the designing and the labor work, was a favorite hobby of the Raja. As many of his visitors did not expect this, of course they were surprised to find the Raja himself working among his laborers, standing knee deep in mud digging out the earth.

5.00Great tour with our guide/ driver Dwi! He was very helpful answering all of our questions and showing us some of the most beautiful sights in Bali! We were also very grateful that he went out of his way to drive us to our second hotel in very heavy traffic. Thank you, Dwi! Highly recommend this tour and guide.

5.00A long day, we underestimated how long it would take to get to East Bali. We waited 3 hours for our picture at the Gates of Heaven so we missed a couple of the planned stops but we had a great day - no regrets. Wayan was an accomdating guide, took us to a lovely restaurant with fresh vegetarian options and was our driver and guide for over 12 hours. We saw gates of heaven, traditional village and had plenty of time at Tirta Ganga. Thanks viator another great trip and thanks Wayan.

5.00Our tour guide and driver, Nyoman, was exceptional. He picked us up from our hotel in a very clean vehicle, introduced himself, and reviewed the itinerary for the day. We felt very safe with Nyoman as he maneuvered through the traffic to our various destinations. Bottles of water were already in the side pouches of the door. He always ensured that we were safe by opening and closing the vehicle doors. He answered any questions we had about the places we visited. He also took photos of us in every place, which we really wanted because those are our memories. We had a wonderful day with Nyoman!!!
Highly recommended

5.00Aditya was an amazing guide and made my first day in Bali a great one! He was punctual (even early!) for the pick up, drove safely and even let me add on an extra stop at a coffee plantation. He gave good insight into the sights we saw and recommended a place for lunch. I was solo for this trip and felt completely at ease with Aditya! 🙂
Don't miss the amazing water temples

5.00The Gates of Heaven are nice but the water temples that come after were even more impressive to me. Would recommend this trip or something similar that includes those other temples! The Gates of Heaven are rather far from most hotel areas and even if you leave at 5am you'll wait several hours in the photo taking queue. The water temples have loads of fish you can feed and take pictures with. Fish food is easy to buy next to the entrance. The last part of the trip was a traditional village with their own special guide to tell you about their traditions and old way of life.
Driver was great, Gates of Heaven is beautiful but be prepared to wait!

5.00I had a great experience with my driver. He was thoughtful and courteous (it was raining that day and he had an umbrella and poncho for me). He drove with care and offered me some insight to the Balinese culture along the way. I was able to customize the second 1/2 of my trip to spend more time at a beach and he was happy to accommodate and get me all set up. He even helped me order authentic cuisine at a restaurant. A note about the Gates of Heaven - it was beautiful and some of the best photos I've ever taken in my life and I cherish them. BUT be prepared to wait for a few HOURS. My driver got me there around 6:30-7am and we were 50 in line, each number takes at least 2-5 min (although they do keep it moving). If you do not show up right when it opens or when tickets are available, you will wait HOURS so really judge your time to see if its worth it. Now, the view is very pretty, there are some places to sit and a little store that sells snacks but I would definitely bring a book or a screen to keep you entertained for a while. Additionally, up the hill from the Gates is another picturesque place that has the Bali swing, a heart, and other places to take photos.
