What To Expect

Taman Ayun Temple

Taman Ayun Temple literally translates as ‘beautiful garden’ and is generally regarded as one of the most attractive temples in Bali. The Taman Ayun temple is situated in a beautiful park with trees and ponds near the village of Mengwi in the south of Bali, about 8 km southwest of Ubud and 18 km northwest of Denpasar. Pura Taman Ayun was built in 1634 by the Raja of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Putu. It is a so-called Pura Kawiten, or family temple, a special temple where the deified ancestors of the Raja Dynasty of Mengwi and important gods of other temples are honored.

Nik was able to weave his way thru the heavy Bali traffic, made worse by road and bridge closures after the recent deadly floods, and get us to both temples with plenty of time to enjoy them. We even managed to squeeze in a visit to a coffee plantation - well done Nik! The temples were peaceful and quiet and filled us with a sense of calm and serenity. Well worth the visit.
Beautiful sunset!

Well worth the trip! We were picked up directly from our villa in Seminyak. Putu our guide/driver was early, and did an excellent job of getting us safely through the traffic! Putu accompanied us at all times, sharing his knowledge of the history and traditions associated with both temples. The car was clean, with good air conditioning & free bottled water. Would definitely recommend to others.
Worth it for sure!

Nyoman took us to Tanah Lot and Taman Ayun temples. Taman Ayun was quiet and beautiful; definitely a little off the beaten path but worth a visit if you have time. Tanah Lot was beautiful, especially if you can walk around the coastline area. It was a great afternoon excursion, and Nyoman took really great photos of us! He was really nice and communicated about the experience— it was great to have someone to take us around and get beautiful sunset pics!
Nice trip

We recently took a tour to Tanah Lot Temple, and while we were disappointed that the weather didn’t cooperate for the famous sunset view, the experience was still memorable—thanks largely to our amazing guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history and significance of the temple come alive. He also helped us navigate the crowds and pointed out the best photo spots despite the cloudy skies. Even without the sunset, the temple’s setting was stunning and well worth the visit. We hope to return on a clearer day, but we’re grateful for the great service and insight from our guide on this trip.

We had a wonderful day touring through Bali. Our guide Nik drove us to two of the most important Temples, Tanah Lot and Taman Ayun. We also had a chance to sample organic Balinese tea and coffee. Nik is very experienced and knowledgeable about Balinese culture, religion, and history, making our trip thoroughly worthwhile. I highly recommend this tour to anyone making a trip to Bali.
