The highlight of the park is the wide Bekol Savannah, where visitors can spot deer, peacocks, water buffaloes, and if lucky, even the endangered Javan leopard or banteng (wild cattle). The scenery, especially during sunrise and sunset, feels almost like being on a safari in Africa. Another must-visit spot is Bama Beach, a quiet coastal area inside the park with clear waters and mangrove forests. It’s perfect for relaxing after exploring the savannah, and snorkeling here reveals vibrant coral reefs and marine life.

My wish list has been fulfilled. Finally, I can visit Baluran National Park. A National Park like in Africa. To enter the national park, you have to report and pay for a ticket. Payment is cashless, so prepare your gadgets. There are several tourist stopping spots for taking pictures. 1. At the acacia tree, 2. in the NP animal skull area, 3. Bekol Savanna with Mount Baluran in the background, 4. Bama Beach. It is best to come to Baluran National Park in the morning or afternoon. The animals usually come out to look for food. In the afternoon, you can also see the sunset. If you visit the NP, please always comply with the applicable rules. Prepare sunscreen and personal protective equipment from the heat of the sun. It was a pleasure to come here. Hopefully, I can come here again

One of hidden gem in Java. Located at the Situbondo - Banyuwangi border (but the entire are in Situbondo). This place is also known as "Africa van Java". You could found some wild animal like bulls and monkeys (be careful with your belonging because sometimes the monkeys could steal it). It's better to come here in the summer or dry season (in the rainy season the savanna would be greener, but still looks good😁). I came here with a motorbike so we could see the very beautiful view😍

Great place to healing. Get lost for a while ( karena vibes ga kyk di indonesia , pun ga ada signal provider apapun once nyampe di savana ) Coming here on monday at 10.00 AM , not too crowded but it’s surprisingly hot 🥵 Great experience!

Second time visiting this national park. It wasnt so busy on my first visit in 2018, but now, there are a lot of jeep tours, also due to many rain this year, the savanna is not used to be, it’s greeny and a bit wet now. But when sun is setting down, we saw groups of deer gathering in the middle of savanna, also monkeys and even Javanese Bull! It was truly an Indonesian safari experience! We stopped by on the beach side and had a local food; soto rujak, it was delicious! So if you want to visit, i recommend to visit just before the sunset to see all animals moving around the park.

Baluran is a great park for wildlife watching or birding with many beautiful landscapes. I do a lot of wildlife watching and photography around the world, and I thought overall this park is top notch, it might just require a little more effort and careful timing if wildlife is your goal. I visited for 4 days in early Oct 2025. I stayed near the park and drove a rented scooter in every day. Here are some things the park is great for, and some drawbacks: Landscapes: There is a good diversity of landscapes within the park, on the drive in, you see a lot of tropical dry forest with some wetter/greener forests deeper within the park. There is also the very dry and open savannah region and a lot of mangroves and forest near the beach. There is really just one road through the park to the beach, and not much opportunity for hiking, so if your primary focus is seeing the landscape, you could see everything in one day. Wildlife: You can see lots of green peacocks, wild buffalo, deer, langur monkeys, wild pigs and hornbills (near Bama beach), but timing matters a lot. If you are interested in seeing wildlife, you should either go by yourself, like I did, or do a tour that visits the park in the evening. I spent all day in the park, and I can tell you that if you are on a tour that goes through the park any time from 9AM-3PM, you aren't going to see much in terms of wildlife because it's too hot, and the animals are in the forests where it's cooler. As soon as it starts to cool down, you will see loads of deer, peacocks and other animals emerge onto the savannah and start crossing the roads in other areas. My biggest complaint about this park is that it opens too late in the morning. Unfortunately the park doesn't open until 7:30AM, which means by the time you get your entry ticket and drive into the park, it's already getting hot, and you've really missed the best wildlife watching period of the day. You will still be able to catch the tail end of the morning period, and you can see a lot in the evening, but for a wildlife-focused park, it's frustrating that they don't let people into the park earlier. Most of the wildlife-focused parks I've visited in North America or Africa open much earlier, because they understand that this is prime-time for wildlife. Again, you can see a lot of great wildlife in the park, but if you want to see wildlife, and you are taking a tour from Banyuwangi, make sure the tour doesn't leave the park too early in the day, otherwise you will likely be disappointed. I expected to see a lot of Banteng in the park based on the photos and reviews I saw online but I did not see any despite being in the park all day for 4 days. This may be a seasonal thing, but just be aware they aren't easy to see, unlike the wild buffalo which always seem to be around. I never really expect to see big cats like leopards in any park, but I talked to some of the workers in the park and they said they do see them quite frequently. Unfortunately they only see them at night crossing the road, and as a tourist you can't be in the park at night. Nice to know the leopards are there though even if your chances of actually seeing them is very small. I also feel the park could use some investment. The mangrove trail is closed, the observation tower at the savannah is closed, and overall, there aren't a lot of hiking opportunities. There used to be lodging inside the park, but this is also closed. Bama beach is the center of activity. It's much cooler during the day, and very pretty. The facilities are also much better there, with some small restaurants and decent bathrooms. Overall, Baluran was one of my favorite spots in Indonesia. There is amazing wildlife if you visit at the right time, and the open savannah with Baluran mountain in the background is beautiful.

Baluran National Park is often praised as the "Africa of Java" for its unique savannah landscape and wildlife, but reviews are mixed regarding the experience and value, with some citing high fees for foreigners and limited activities beyond sightseeing. Visitors can see savanna, beaches (like Bama Beach), mangroves, and diverse wildlife like deer, buffalo, and peacocks, but sightings depend on timing and luck. Unique landscape: The park's "savannah of Java" offers a stark contrast to typical Indonesian scenery and is great for photography. Wildlife spotting: Visitors can see various animals, especially at dawn or dusk, including deer, buffalo, monkeys, and peacocks. Diverse ecosystems: Within the park, you can experience different environments, including savannas, forests, mangrove trails, and beaches like Bama Beach, which is good for snorkeling. Educational value: It's a great place for learning about nature and the environment. Sunrise and sunset: The park is known for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, particularly from Bama Beach.

Loving every corner of this Island! You could see the view of Mount Raung and Mount Ijen from here. There are also deers living in this Island as Menjangan means Deer. I think the fish here also friendly 😆 there is a group of small fish (10-12 fish) circling me around like more than 10 times when I was snorkeling. They literally followed me until I get back into my boat. The minus is around the Sri Ganesha Temple there are a few of trash. Please do take an action.

One of best dive side I ever been. There was not or small currents and the visibility was super clear. lees of divers here.

Part of West Bali National Park. On the land, you can find many Menjangans (kind of deers), that is endemic animal of Menjangan Island & West Bali area. We are phohibited to touch and feed them since they are still wild animals and those actions can change their habit and behaviours. Under the water, we can explore beautiful yet healthy corals & see many of sea creatures from sea fans, eels, and macro creatures like nudibranchs, etc.

Paradise found! 🌴🐠 Menjangan Island, a hidden gem in Bali, offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and unforgettable snorkeling, diving or freediving experiences 🌟

Such an amazing place in North Bali. It is hot but worth the effort. Takes 15 minutes boat ride from the harbor to this island.

Amazing place by land or water activities The island is like a park or mini zoo, The snorkeling and diving are fantastic You can see turtles, etc As beautiful as it gets

This island is stunning, heavenly vibes! 💙🩵⛅🌅🐟

Very beautiful place. For diving this is one of the places to be, the nature of Indonesia is perhaps the most beautiful in the world.

I've been here quite a few times, and always love to come back here.

(Translated by Google) From here we started a very good snorkeling tour to Menjangan Island. We had a good companion and were in the water with him for an hour twice. We saw wonderful corals and lots of colorful fish. The crossing to the island doesn't take long and the water is very clear. The food for a break was very good. Highly recommended. (Original) Von hier aus starteten wir eine sehr gute Schnorcheltour zur Menjanganinsel. Wir hatte einen guten Begleiter und waren mit diesem zwei mal eine Stunde im Wasser.

Sehr zu empfehlen.

👍👍👍👍👍

I go every day when I'm in pemuteran. Fabulous place. Well done to the creators and management. It's a fun safe place for the snorkelling community and for scuba training. Many small fish species sometimes a turtle nearby and great coral growing. I feed the fish and they swarm to me. Great to swim with nature. I have many videos I can't post... German and Austrian ladies I said hi too diving from the house pontoon. I couldn't get photos or videos to them

Pretty good! I don't like messing about with the natural environment, but they've got fish and coral using the structures, and it provides an interesting place to view sea life. Very easy swim from shore. The platform had a broken ladder, making it inaccessible to all but the more agile and strong… there didn't seem to be any urgency to fix it, and more than one person was seen injuring themselves trying to get on.

Nice spot, small coral, some small fish, nice view of growing coral, easy access from the beach. a few people in the water, not too busy.

Always a pleasure to stay at this homestay. Large, clean rooms with a/c, spotless bathrooms, most with queen beds but some that can separate into 2 twins. Good breakfast variety included, and there's a small swimming pool. Very nice staff who're adept in English. And integrated with it is a dive shop... And you can snorkel or scuba out to see the coral plantings of the Biorock experiment.

This project is great for coral recreation and interesting for snorkeling. You can find the statue of Garuda 12 meters deep, to the right of the floating house

This organisation is doing brilliant work helping to rejuvenate the coral through clever design, we saw turtles, thousands of beautiful fish and bright healthy coral just a stones throw from the beach. It's really worth donating to help these guys continue the great work they've been doing.

Very nice for snorkeling and not far from the shore. Enter at the flag for a safe entry for you and the corals. (There is also a sign written) I'm not a diver but for me it was really nice and many different fish including a pufferfish one day.

Surfing with Sup helped me get the most out of a brief trip to Medewi. Sup's advice on what time to surf based on the tides, where to paddle out, where to sit in the lineup, and where to take off on each wave helped me catch much better waves than I otherwise would have! We were also able to hire boards for surfing on our own afterwards. There was a decent selection of boards available to choose from, and you can get a great breakfast afterwards at the Holy Tree!

First surf lesson ever here with Bagus! What a nice moment, everything here is made to make you feel safe and confortable inside and outside the water. Don’t think twice and go for it ! Thank you again my friend !

I had some lessons with Sup, he is the best. Sup has a lot of knowledge, knows Medewi and we are always in the right spot with him. It was the first time I was able to enjoy surf and get some improvement. He also explains where to position for the wave and tells you how and why that I found really important. The best in town, I totally recommend it. Also offer driver service 5 stars. If I come back for sure I will go with Sup again.

Sup is a great surf guide in Medewi! I’ve had great surf sessions with him. I was very amazed by how many waves I surfed!! I’m an intermediate beginner and Sup made me feel very safe and was supportive. He is very kind and easy going. I wish I could do more sessions with him as I felt like I was improving my skills. I would definitely recommend surfing with him. Thanks Sup!!

I had a really great experience with Sup in Medewi. Easy going and reliable, Sup is a great teacher that helps you feel confident in the waves. He always ensures your safety and is respectful of how you feel and adapts to your level. I highly recommend him if you want to enjoy your time in Medewi and improve your technique. Thanks Sup and hope to see you soon in the waves 🌊

I had a great time surfing with Sup! He knows the surf spots really well! Great teacher and Coach, if you are in Medewi and are looking for surf lessons you found the right guy.

I booked surf lessons with Soep for three of us during our stay at West Bali. I told Soep we are completely new to surfing; also, my husband and I are in our fifties and were not sure if we could do the sport. Soep gave me a lot of assurance, he even looped in his friend Ricky to coach with him together. We had a good time and were very happy to have started a new sport. Time seemed to have passed so fast! I can truely say Soep and Ricky were cool, professional, and were very attentive to newbies like us. For those who want to learn surfing in a tranquil atmosphere, go look for Soep and Ricky in West Bali !

So peaceful! Tho it actually smells like Sulphur Sulphur but it is worth it. It has crowd though, but one thing I did not like though we had to purchase tickets for like 45000/p there was another parking fees which was supposed to be a donation! The man who was incharge asked us for 5000 and when we said no it’s based on donations you! He started saying! “Yeah yeah go away don’t pay anything” as if I have made a blunder by not paying him money! Tho i had given him a 1000 rupiah

The hot springs were nice, but the water wasn’t really hot. You have to pay extra fees for the spa or jacuzzi, and even for lockers (10,000 IDR). Still, the place had changing rooms and showers, we enjoyed it overall, and next time we’ll just bring shampoo!

Three pools with mineral infused water. One is the hottest and most crowded, the biggest one not too hot. Medium to medium high sulphur. More of a warm spring than a hot spring. Changing room was dirty and smelling bad. We decided to go back and change in the car and — I think it was the right call. Crowded with lots of tourist but no one disrespectful or anything on our visit. Some good bargains on knick knacks from the vendors as you walk up. My wife enjoys bargaining as it’s part of her culture and she got stuff for cheaper than back home. Small fee to park and use locker. They should close once a week for a deep cleaning, even half a day, would make it a five star experience

Nice water, it smells somewhat like swimming in an egg salad but you quickly get used to it. Three pools, I couldn't tell the difference between them in temperature, but one of them has water spouts which can do you a satisfactory massage if you get the angles right as they fall from a large height. I didn't use the restaurant or massage services so can't comment. Lockers cost 10k and toilets 3k, cash only. Cheap entrance ticket (45k for bule) so worth it on that basis. I spent about two hours there. Watch out for the entrance - there are about 20 gifts shops so it you want to shop go for it, but otherwise expect to be hassled. You might be able to get a grab moped but I couldn't get a grab car from this location, so book a driver in advance unless you want to be ripped off by the taxis outside.

A paradise on earth. This hot spring in the middle of the jungle is a paradise on earth. We had a great rest and my children loved it.

After paying for entry I was told to ride up to motorcycle parking, where I was told I needed to make a donation for parking (that’s fine and expected in Bali) I didn’t like the harassment from the market holders to purchase things before entry to tie hot springs, I don’t mind if walking around Bali, but after paying to enter an attraction it was very unwelcoming. (They have everything you need for sale in the pools btw, I got stung 50,000 for a towel because i read they weren’t supplied) The hot springs themselves were a mixture of warmish/hot water in the top pool and lukewarm water in the larger pool. The pool itself felt quite dirty and underwhelming, I didn’t spend long here as I was turned off by how slimy the pool was. I went early and avoided the crowds, but after an hour it was quite busy so I had a drink and left.

Relaxing and nice hot spring, you can smell the sulphur on the water. There are changing rooms at the facility. I will advice you to bring your own towels if your don’t want to buy one at the way in. There are 3 pools to enjoy and if you go early in the day you can avoid big crowds. Overall is worth visiting. Enjoy !!

This location is an absolute gem tucked into the hills of Bali. The grounds are stunning, meticulously kept, and radiate a sense of serenity that hits you the moment you arrive. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the calm, inviting atmosphere. What stood out most was how peaceful it felt. There were very few tourists, and those who were there moved quietly and respectfully, making the experience feel authentic rather than crowded. The temple provided not only incredible photo opportunities but also the rare chance to slow down and truly absorb the local culture. A must-visit for anyone seeking beauty, stillness, and a genuine cultural connection.

Great place to visit. Little gem in the hills. A great place to visit — a little gem tucked away in the hills. The temple and surrounding grounds are beautiful and well worth the trip. Entry was 35k per person, which felt fair for the experience. If you're feeling adventurous and confident on a motorbike or scooter, consider taking the countryside road from here to the Twin Lakes. Just be cautious: the road is quite narrow, and at one point the asphalt gives way to concrete tracks designed for single wheels. It’s manageable, but definitely not for beginners.

Visiting this magical Buddhist monastery again 5 years after doing a 7 day silent retreat here! The setting and views are simply spectacular. This is a very special and spiritual place, not commercial at all and they have kept the entrance very reasonable at 35k including a sarong they lend you. You can meditate in the quiet and cool dharma halls or stroll the grounds and admire the beauty of the place. Highly recommend a visit and its a short 20 minute ride from Lovina. Enjoy and may you be happy 😊

Wonderful beautiful place. Very peaceful and large territory. Later some turist group came, so we had to wait in some places to take pictures. Everything is so clean, safe and sound. Very magnetic place, great energy.

Came here around 17:00 on a week day and we were the only 2 guests alongside with another couple. The temple is large — expect at least 1 hour to explore it all in tranquillity. The gardens are kept beautifully. The place is quiet and invites visitors to really enjoy the tranquillity. Inspiring how the architecture combines Balinese and Buddhist style, reflecting local culture and traditional Buddhist symbols. Entrance is 35k for international visitors.

Brahmavihara is a gem & wonderfull place, very well maintained, serene, and peaceful. It's not too crowded, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Definitely worth a visit!

Must visit when in North of Bali. Beautifull and large site. Very peacefull and not so crowded. You can spend about 1 hour over here. Good to know: you can take a grab to the site, but if you want to return...grab isnt available at that adres. Best to make an appointment with your driver for an pickup time....otherwise you have to walk quite a long time.

I have done the walk with Putu many times now as have many happy guests of @villatunjung in Rangdu. It is not just a walk through the sawa's and some rainforest or fruit plantation. It's an experience as Putu seems to know everything about flora and fauna and the role of nature in every day's life of local people and religion. By great storytelling also! Not only is the walk with Putu an absolute joy, don't skip the superb lunch cooked by Ria! Best lunch in North Bali! You'll get 2 great experiences in one day for the price of one! Easy 5 stars and I won't hesitate to recommend this experience. Book and Go!

The cultural walk with Putu was a very unique and informative experience. He explained a lot about agriculture, plants and culture. The food cooked by Ria was delicious! Thank you very much, Ria and Putu! Warm regards Sophia and Johanna

Great experience with Putu Artana. You learn a lot about Bali. Do not forget to have lunch with Putu after the trekking.

It was an excellent experience with a very professional guide. After our walk through the sawa’s we had a perfect lunch thanks to Ria (wife of Putu and cook of our lunch). Great day! Thanks Frank

Simply the best experience you will ever have in Bali! Putu and Ria are exceptional hosts who offer you a unique experience. Putu's Tour is absolutely incredible! Not only is the scenery and landscape exceptionally beautiful but Putu also provides you with insight into Balinese culture. I learned more about Bali on this tour than anything else I have done in Bali. It is truly the most authentic experience you will have and you will come to truly appreciate how special Bali, its people and culture are! It gives you a true appreciation of the connection between nature and culture. Ria's cooking is amazing! To be able to spend time with this wonderful family is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed! I highly recommend this experience to all. Don't leave Bali without experiencing all that Mayong Authentique Experience has to offer!

Putu is a very interesting guide. We had a wonderful time!

Great morning trek with Putu, lovely sights and great information from Putu. Lunch was delicious too 😋 would definitely recommend 👌

I spent a night in Lovina. It’s a big change from Seminyak or Ubud — less traffic, fewer crowds, and way more peace. The early morning dolphin tour was the highlight: we saw several pods swimming around the boat as the sun rose. Magical, even if there were a few too many boats at times. The beach itself isn’t the white sand you might expect, it’s black volcanic sand, which is cool in its own right. I also visited Banjar Hot Springs and the Brahmavihara monastery nearby, both worth a stop if you’re into nature and spirituality. Not much of a party scene here, which was perfect for me. Some nice cafes and warungs, and the locals were very welcoming. Overall, a good place to unwind and enjoy a quieter side of Bali.

Early start .had to be there 6am for sunrise .630am on boat out at sea watching dolphins 🐬 👌 best book your own boat saves sharing with idiots. Our skipper was brilliant .

Overall: Arrived at 515am. The air there in the morning was FRESH, I felt my smokey lungs getting a cleanse which breathing in the air. Hire a private boat it costs about 700k. Sharing is painful, watching how others had 8 people squeezing on 1. Boat runs slower with that much weight also. View: Spectacular, to view the sunrise. Water was so chill with no waves at all. However, I really hope the village people start taking care of this beautiful sea that they are blessed with. The water is clear but filled with rubbish. If this were to continue they would slowly destroy marine lives and dolphins may just start migrating. Dolphins: Left for the sea at 6am sharp. All of them have a group to communicate to each other if they sight dolphins which honestly is smart for the first batch but not after. Imagine 40-50 boats flying at high speed to a group of 5 dolphins. They just gonna end up hiding. Even after they hide and reappear, everyone just starts chasing it also… 700k for 2hours, only saw the dolphin 3 times. Would suggest going around 8am to 10am when the Dolphins are most active and that they’ve gathered together to come out to play.

The sunset are spectacular. There are restaurants and shops. I didn't like the many tour guides trying to get you on dolphin tours and vendors trying to sell us things. I guess that's normal in most of Asian countries. It becomes a little annoying when you want to have some peace.

PRO: the Lovina beach is reasonably quiet, always a spot in natural shadow to put your towel, not very touristy. The water is shallow hence good for children to play in. CON: it's literally littered with... litter. It's sad to see how much garbage is dumped here. A boy was sweeping sand off a little bridge on the beach and looked dismayed when I stepped over it... when the whole beach is covered in plastic bags, cups, straws and what not. They have projects on saving sea turtles yet keep dumping all their garbage in/near the sea... 😞

I drove 2.5h from Batur to see this place. There isnt a point to be here. Black sand, a lot of boats close to the beach and „dolohin” offers just for old turists, definitely not for travellers. This is even worse than beach in Kuta…

Finally visiting Bali’s northern black fine sand beach. We came to public part for sunset but it was too cloudy. Strange that someone collecting money only from foreigners for parking with some explanation to support villagers . Beach was not supper clean as many rubbish was there. Boys playing volleyball, some walking or running on the beach. We spent most of time on wooden pier relaxing and enjoying the views

If you want escape Canggu to see beautiful beach, this one is 10/10. It’s not very suitable for swimming - it’s more for surfers, but it was amazing. Definitely worth travel for it.

Great waves for surfing & very peaceful. Yet the rubbish let it down, so surfing here was less desirable out amongst the rubbish. Had to wear shoes on the beach due to amount of rubbish. Lots of dogs, but they kept to themselves.

Nice relaxed place.Good surf.From the road coming in to Balian you can go left to the Pitaya Hotel and many smalls warungs. If you take le right turn you go down to Gajah Mina Resort and Secret bay Restaurant.Good sea food. reasonnable priced. A beautiful nature walk on top of the cliff. For nature lovers..

The black sand feels nice on your feet. If you don’t surf, there is nothing for you to do here, the sea water is grey and very rough. Not very good spot for swimming. But the black sandy beach looks truly amazing and it feels so soft. As on every beach on bali, plastic beaches are a hype, unfortunately this one as well.

Beautiful and calm place. We took surf lesson & that was amazing! Enjoyed our honeymoon's first days here and would highly recommend to stay at! Waves are too high for swimming but good for surfing & you can also enjoy the beautiful and very calm beaches by walking

This beach was quiet with small crowds. The water was clear and great for walking. Some parts have soft charcoal colored/black sand, while other parts have rocks. Collected a lot of small seashells. Every morning, surfers were out surfing. A few stray dogs waiting for anyone to feed them. Some trash but not as bad as other beaches in Bali. Enjoyed this beach more than the populated beaches in Bali too.

Amazing surfing beach. I drove my scooter from Canggu to Balian and it was amazing once I got closer to the beach. But it was super sketchy and overall do not recommend driving a scooter on the main roads that far. I got to these rice terraces very close to the beach which was a beautiful surprise. Once I got to the beach you can have some coffee and watch the surf. After my surf there’s a great pool you can chill at for the day, just pay I think 100k. Highly recommend this spot if you wanna surf and chill

The Sekumpul waterfalls are probably the most beautiful ones I’ve seen in the area. The tour also includes Fiji Waterfall and Hidden Waterfall – all of them are a must-see. You can swim everywhere and take some really cool photos. The trail is moderately challenging, but definitely worth it.

Visiting Sekumpul Waterfall was a perfection decision to enjoy the majestic and scenic adventurous beauty of nature in North Bali. The scenery was breathtaking — surrounded by jungles and the powerful waterfalls create a truly soothing atmosphere . The hiking at the bottom was a bit of adventure, with steps and paths through the forest, but every bit of effort was worth it when you will reach the falls. Standing at the bottom, you will feel the mist and the power of the water was mesmezing. Highly recommended to visit Sekumpul waterfall if you are in North Bali.

Absolutely stunning. It was nearing the end of the dry season but still plenty of water. We paid 20,000 rupiah at car park number 2 and enjoyed the hike to the waterfall - about 25 minutes. If you pay more 150k, you get a guide and go to the bottom of the waterfall

A must-see in Bali! Visiting Sekumpul Waterfall was one of the highlights of my trip. It takes about 1 hour to hike down and another hour to come back up — and yes, there are a lot of stairs! But it’s absolutely worth it. The waterfall is breathtaking, surrounded by lush jungle and the sound of rushing water. It feels like a hidden paradise. On the way there, I stopped at the Hanging Garden Restaurant (also called The Hanging Restaurant), and it was such a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious, and the view of the waterfall from the restaurant is stunning — a perfect place to relax before or after the hike. If you're up for an adventure and want to experience one of Bali’s most beautiful natural spots, Sekumpul is totally worth the effort!

Absolutely stunning! The 150k IDR medium hike includes both Hidden and Sekumpul waterfalls. The walk is short and easy (around 10 minutes), with a friendly guide leading the way. You can swim at Hidden Waterfall—super refreshing! Sekumpul is powerful and beautiful, but no swimming there. Totally worth the visit if you're in North Bali.

Waterfall is great, but stuff and attitude is terrible. Feels like a place full of scammers trying to sell you overpriced guide tours. Even on the road up to waterfall there were 2 groups of people trying to stop us. You can enjoy other waterfalls much more by much less money. Banyumala waterfall is close and you can spend there great time swimming, or just standing underneath waterfall. Do not come here except if you are not planning to see other waterfalls.

We have been absolutely alone at the location. There was a friendly young man who made exemptional photos on a raft under the waterfall. Good bless the nature!

Discover One of Bali’s Oldest Temples Step into a sacred sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful ambiance. Easily accessible with well-maintained roads, this temple remains a cherished spiritual destination where Balinese Hindus come to pray and connect with the divine. Experience the timeless beauty and cultural richness of Bali’s heritage.

Absolutely original, beautiful and very serene place. It is a little bit far out in the hilly countryside but that makes it isolated from the overwhelming tourism other than visits from local village worshippers and some native monkeys residents.

Pura Luhur Batukaru, on the slopes of Mount Batukaru in Tabanan, is a tranquil temple surrounded by lush rainforest. Its mossy shrines and serene vibe make it one of Bali’s most sacred sites—a perfect place for reflection. I highly recommend visiting, even on rainy days!

The most beautiful temple we have visited in Bali. Well worth a visit. Not too many people and very few tourists.

This is one of the most sacred temples in Bali. It is located at the foot of Mount Batukaru and due to the higher altitude it is very humid up here and there's a lot of green moss covering the structures. Built in the 11th century, this temple is dedicated to the ancestors of Tabanan. You won't see too many tourists here thanks to its remoteness. This is a temple you could visit when you're on the way to Jatiluwih rice fields.

Very peaceful temple. Great stop with a koi pond.

A quiet, serene temple on the mountain. Ppl come and pray inside. Entry fee is 40,000 rupiah for adult and 20,000 rupiah for children. Good to visit but this place is a bit far, may need an extra couple hours for traveling.

The Ulun Danu Beratan Temple (also known as Pura Ulun Danu Bratan) is widely considered one of Bali's most beautiful and iconic landmarks. It is having stunning natural setting, spiritual significance, and picturesque architecture, though some also note its popularity as a tourist destination. Stunning Location and Scenery: The temple is set on the tranquil shores of Lake Bratan in the cool, misty Bedugul highlands. The multi-tiered shrines (meru) appear to be floating on the water's surface, especially when the lake level is high, making it one of the most photographed spots in Indonesia. Aesthetic and Photogenic: The combination of the temple, the lake's reflection, the lush manicured gardens, and the mountain backdrop creates a truly spectacular and "must-see" visual experience. It's often referred to as the "floating temple of Bali." Spiritual Significance: It is an important Hindu water temple dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of water, rivers, and lakes, and plays a vital role in Bali's traditional *subak* irrigation system. Cooler Weather: Located about 1,200 meters above sea level, the area offers a refreshing break from the heat of the coastal regions. Accessibility: The grounds are generally well-maintained and easy for all types of visitors, including families and older travelers, to explore. Best Time to Visit: To avoid the crowds and the mist/fog that can roll in during the afternoon, it is highly recommended to visit early in the morning (around 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM). This also provides the best lighting for photos. Cash Only:Entrance fees and payments at many local stalls require cash. Boat Rides:For a unique view, visitors can take a traditional boat ride on Lake Beratan. The general consensus is that despite being a popular tourist spot, the sheer beauty of the temple's setting makes it absolutely worth visiting for anyone exploring central Bali.

Our visit to Ulun Danu Beratan Temple was truly a memorable experience. The temple's stunning location on the shores of Lake Beratan offers breathtaking views, especially with the misty mountains in the background. The architecture of the temple is intricate and beautifully preserved, reflecting Balinese culture and spirituality. Walking around the temple complex, I felt a sense of tranquility and reverence. The surrounding gardens are well-maintained and add to the peaceful atmosphere. While the area can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours, it didn’t detract from the overall beauty of the site. The staff was friendly and respectful, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn about the temple’s significance to local Balinese Hindus. One minor downside was the limited shade in some areas, so it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat. Overall, Ulun Danu Beratan is a must-visit destination in Bali, offering both cultural insight and stunning scenery. I would definitely recommend it to anyone exploring Bali's spiritual sites!

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is one of those places that just takes your breath away. The temples seem to float right on the lake with the mist rolling down from the mountains — it’s picture-perfect. But can be lots of people at various times. The gardens are well maintained and full of colour, with temples, shrines, and statues, and even a quiet Buddhist stupa tucked away in the gardens. . We noticed many people wandering through just taking photos, but not realising how much meaning and history this place holds. Its literally thousands of years old. so crazy. We used the Voicemap app for a self-guided audio tour, and it honestly made such a difference — it explained the stories behind the temples, the goddess of the lake, the central temple story floating in the lake, which is quite amazing, and why this Temple is so important to Balinese life. We would recommend this App if you're travelling without a guide, or if you're guide stays in the car like many do, whilst you walk through. Its so worth it Go early when it’s calm and the light hits the water — it’s just magic. Understanding what you’re seeing makes it all feel even more special. From there we then drove to Jatiluwih Rice Fields which are not far away, so saw two great places in one day.

I visited this place in the afternoon and spent around 2–3 hours there. Out of all the places I visited in Bali, this one truly stood out — it was one of the few that really impressed me. If you have the chance, I genuinely recommend coming here. It’s definitely worth it. I went on a weekday, and although there were people, it wasn’t crowded. It was easy to take photos at different spots without anyone in the background. The entire area is well-maintained and very beautiful. There’s also a small kids’ zoo where, for an additional fee, you can feed the animals. You can even take photos with different reptiles for an extra charge. Overall, I highly recommend visiting — it’s absolutely worth your time.

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple was an okay place to visit. The lake itself is beautiful, especially with the low clouds surrounding it, such a nice, cool atmosphere. Definitely bring a jacket because the weather up here is much cooler and the fresh air feels great. It does get quite crowded, and the overall experience feels a bit less authentic than expected, but the scenery still makes it a pleasant stop if you’re in the area.

My visit to temple in Bali was a pleasant experience. The temple stands on the edge of Lake Beratan in Bedugul and looks like it is floating on the water. Surrounded by green mountains and cool air, the place feels very calm. The temple is dedicated to the goddess of lakes and rivers. Its tall pagoda-style roofs and neat gardens make it very attractive. We also enjoyed the view of the lake. It is a peaceful and must-visit spot in Bali.

One of the most beautiful and iconic landmarks in Bali. Located on the shores of Lake Beratan in Bedugul, this floating temple offers stunning scenery surrounded by cool mountain air and peaceful nature. The temple itself sits partly on the lake, creating a magical reflection that’s perfect for photos. The area is well-maintained, with gardens, statues, and traditional Balinese architecture that showcase the island’s culture and spirituality. It’s best to visit early in the morning when the mist rises over the lake — the atmosphere feels serene and almost mystical. There are also local food stalls, restaurant, souvenir shops. Beautiful lake and mountain backdrop. Peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. Great spot for photography. Cool climate and well-kept gardens. A must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Bali, perfect for culture lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

I visited this UNESCO-listed rice terrace, and out of all the rice terraces I explored in Bali — and I visited quite a few — this one is truly the best. If you have the chance, this is definitely the one worth seeing. Unfortunately, because of my driver, who wasn’t very patient and didn’t want to wait, I had to choose the shortest route. If I could visit again, I would absolutely choose the longest hike to fully enjoy the experience. I was lucky — there were absolutely no people because it was raining, so I got to enjoy the entire place in complete peace. It was incredible. There are also many cafés with beautiful views where you can sit and relax. I also visited a local warung right in the middle of the rice fields, where they serve brown rice grown directly on those very fields. The taste was amazing — truly unique and delicious. And don’t forget to bring a raincoat — if it rains, you’ll still be able to continue your walk through the rice terraces comfortably. Overall, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

Absolutely beautiful and incredibly extensive. Well-maintained pathways make it easy to get around. Rice terraces are perfectly manicured and photo-worthy. One price to get into the whole area, so no hassles like you would get at Tegallalang. Feels like less tourists, partly because it is further from town and not as popular on Instagram, though possibly even more beautiful. Also the area is so vast that you never feel like you’re surrounded by tourists. A must-see in Bali!

It is the most amazing experience you will ever have in Bali. The rice fields are extensive and you can spend an entire day exploring the various paths that connect across the vast area. Not touristy but you can click awesome photos at every spot, enough to spam your folder with them. There are restaurants near the entrance that offer a variety of dishes at reasonable price. The cab pick-up and drop-off spot is right at the entrance, hassle-free! Recommend this over Tegallalang any day! Enjoy~

Jatiluwih is simply breathtaking — a sea of shimmering green terraces that seem to roll on forever. Walking the paths is easy and peaceful, with views that change at every turn. We decided to try a self-guided audio walk through the Voicemap app, and it really brought the landscape to life — explaining the Subak irrigation system, local farming rituals, and the stories behind this UNESCO-listed wonder. We stopped at a small coffee hut tucked right among the paddies — the view was unreal . Listening while we walked made the experience even more special; you really start to appreciate how much care and time goes into growing rice in Bali. It’s best to visit early morning when the air is cool and the light golden. Bring a hat, take your time, and just let the calm and the green of the rice fields surround you — Jatiluwih really is pure Bali magic. and with all the ricefields disappearing its so nice to see touches that remain of the real Bali.

My second time back at Jatiluwih to indulge in the stunning rice terraces — and it’s just as breathtaking as I remembered. It truly deserves its UNESCO Heritage title! 🌾 The view from the top is already magnificent, so no need to walk too far down to enjoy the beauty. Loved the peaceful atmosphere with gamelan music playing in the background and a few cute puppies running around — such a perfect touch to the whole experience. 🐶💚

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces are one of the most magical places I visited in Bali. As soon as you arrive, the sweeping views of emerald-green paddies that stretch across hillsides leave you speechless. The air is cool and fresh, especially in the morning, when mist clings to the terraces and gives everything a soft, dreamlike quality. It felt as if nature was putting on a show just for us. We spent several hours walking along one of the marked trails, winding through the terraces and stopping often just to breathe in the beauty. The walk felt immersive: quiet paths, birdsong, distant mountain peaks, and the gentle murmur of streams fed through the subak irrigation system. Every viewpoint gave a new frame for photos—some shallow, some sweeping, some intimate. Jatiluwih isn’t crowded like some of the more famous terrace spots; that peace made the experience feel more authentic. The terraces also carry rich culture — the subak system (a traditional community-managed irrigation method) is still very much alive here, adding depth and meaning to what might otherwise just be scenery. We saw farmers tending the fields, local warungs (eateries) with views over the terraces, and small cafes where we rested and enjoyed simple, excellent food. If you love nature, photography, culture, or just want a peaceful escape, Jatiluwih delivers more than you expect. Stunning landscapes, serenity, and a deep sense of place make it a highlight of Bali and a must-visit for anyone who wants more

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is truly beautiful and absolutely worth visiting. It offers a real, expansive rice terrace experience, much more authentic and impressive than the smaller one near Ubud center. The area is huge, peaceful, and perfect for walking around and taking in Bali’s natural beauty. A must-see for anyone who enjoys scenic landscapes.

Actually It’s a park which is a must place to visit and picnic while in Bali. Watch the high tides striking the cliffs and a beautiful sunset. An exquisite park to roam around and relax with some fine dining options. The temple is at some distance with no direct access and you don’t need to visit it

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali – A Majestic Sea Temple on the Rocks Tanah Lot Temple is one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks, renowned for its stunning offshore setting and mesmerizing sunset views. Perched on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the sea, the temple appears to float during high tide, creating a truly magical sight. Located in Tabanan Regency, around 20 km from Denpasar, Tanah Lot is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a mix of spirituality, culture, and natural beauty. The name Tanah Lot means “Land in the Sea” in Balinese, perfectly describing its dramatic position. The temple is dedicated to the sea gods and plays an important role in Balinese mythology. Legend says that it was established by the 16th-century priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who built it after being inspired by the beauty of the coastline. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking ocean views, especially during sunset when the sky glows in shades of orange and gold, creating one of Bali’s most photographed moments. During low tide, tourists can walk across to the base of the temple, explore small caves with sea snakes believed to be sacred protectors, and witness local rituals performed by Balinese priests. The area around Tanah Lot features beautifully landscaped gardens, souvenir markets, and several cliffside restaurants offering panoramic views. It is also a popular spot for cultural performances and traditional dance shows held in the evenings. Tanah Lot is open daily, with the best time to visit being late afternoon to witness the sunset spectacle. Visitors are encouraged to dress modestly as it remains an active place of worship. In short: Tanah Lot Temple is not just a tourist attraction — it’s a symbol of Bali’s spiritual harmony, where nature and faith blend into an unforgettable experience.

Great place for a long walk, which is not common in Bali! Perfert to see the sunset. Lots and lots of shops with local artisan beautiful things. At sunset you can walk to the temple and get blessed. Then tgete are a few restaurants with local food and amazing view. Don't missed out.

Another most visited place in Bali. The temple is beautiful. The location is even better. Though bit far from Kuta; the visitors is worthwhile. Now it is entirely on the tide timings whether you can reach the main temple or not. If you happen to be there during low tide then just walk across the the flat rocks and you can reach the main temple stairs. Though there is nothing much to see there. The entire temple compound is beautifully landscaped. You may walk around to see the other photogenic spots. There are many stores and shops selling snacks and souvenirs. You may visit them while returning back. The main issue is transportation. If you are on a scooter then no worries. But if you are taking a Grab or Gojek cab from Kuta then it will be wise to ask the driver to wait for you there and come back in the same car. Local taxis might charge a lot if taken from the temple area.

Tanah lot temple is located in the sea side, one of the famous sea temples in Bali. Tanah Lot translates to "Land in the sea". The temple is built on a rock formation off the cost making it appear to float on the sea during high tide. It is famous for the stunning sunset views. Plan your trip to make sure that you will be able to witness the sunset from there. At the base of the temple, there is holy water which is guarded by snakes. We can enter here and seek blessings as well. There is lot of shops available for shopping near the entry and exit gates. Also, the famous traditional Balinese gate is there for photo shoots. Worth visiting 👍

Pura Tanah Lot is a Hindu temple located on the southwest coast of Bali. It sits on an offshore rock formation and it’s therefore reachable only when there’s low tide: part of the rock is artificial because it replaced the original damaged one during restoration works in the 80s. The temple itself is not accessible, so the only two attractions there are the blessing with the holy water in the cave below the temple and the water snake in the cave on the opposite side: both require a money offer and to be honest they are not worth it.

Tanah Lot Temple Indonesia Bali is pure magic, a sacred jewel perched on a rock in the heart of the ocean. At sunset, the sky paints it in gold, creating a breathtaking silhouette against fiery hues. Waves crash rhythmically below, as if the sea itself is chanting prayers. Intricate stone carvings on black volcanic rock tell ancient stories of devotion and beauty. The gentle chime of temple bells blends with the salty ocean breeze, soothing the soul. Walking across the beach at low tide feels like stepping into a divine painting. The sacred sea snake in the cave adds a touch of mystery and reverence. Clifftop views offer postcard-perfect panoramas that steal your breath away. Every corner radiates peace, spirituality, and timeless Balinese charm. Sunset crowds gather in awe, yet the atmosphere remains serene and sacred. Frangipani flowers and incense fill the air with sweet, holy fragrance. The multi-tiered meru towers stand proud, guardians of the coast. Watching the sun dip into the sea behind the temple is a memory for a lifetime. Even the journey through lush rice fields to reach it feels enchanting. Tanah Lot isn’t just a temple—it’s a love letter from nature to the divine. The reflection in tidal pools at golden hour is pure photographic poetry. Spiritual energy flows strong; you leave calmer, lighter, and deeply touched. No filter needed—the beauty here is raw, real, and soul-stirring. A must-visit masterpiece where earth, sea, and sky unite in harmony. Tanah Lot Temple: where beauty meets eternity, and your heart finds peace.

Buffet style Indonesian & Indian resto with a great view of mountain. with many sets on there, you can eat, chill and chitchat with bestie or friends. Old Interior but save by views of arrounded of resto. Payment : Cash, CC, Debit, QR

Sari Mountain View Restaurant, Bar and Coffee is a popular restaurant located at Kintamani, Bali.You can enjoy the scenic view of Mount Batur and Lake Batur from multiple terraces while taking food. This restaurant mainly provides good in buffet comprising Indonesian and some Indian dishes. It is a popular attraction for tourist which offers excellent photo opportunities from its multiple terrace levels.The food quality is average but mentioning the view will make the visit worthwhile.You can visit with your friends and family.

Amazing views, the venue is worth it just for this. The food they serve can be hit and miss. Guess it depends on your taste. Loved the soup and some of local mains. The black rice pudding and fried bananas were not as well received though. Get dessert elsewhere in my opinion. Unless you're happy with some fruit. The buffet was a bit pricey compared to the rest of Bali cuisine but at less than USD $15 (200k IDR), still very affordable.

Buffet style lunch as well as serving is available. Wide range of food to select from. View is breathtaking. Ample parking space. Rates are not too high. Food quality is also good. Vegetarian as well as non vegetarian food is available.

A Lovely place to dine in. The food is ok but the ambience is worth visiting. You can sit in the open air and have your food. Taking selfies 8s what people prefer after food. It has Volcano view♥️♥️♥️ Please carry umbrella during your visit in any month as it rains very often.

Great views! Price is considered ok since it's buffet and all u can eat. We're here more for the views instead of food. There r food available for vegetarians.

Visited May 2018 Pros: 1. Best view of mount Agung and mount Batur 2. Best place for photographers 3. Buffet has veg and non- veg options Cons: 1. Alacatre menu doesn't contain many items 2. Chicken was not well cooked 3. Place is not much clean on the outside balcony Note: if you want to click good pics of the mount view visit during evening time from 5-7

Aggressive monkey alert. You know this is a major problem if the guides have to remind guests not to wear jewelry, be alert at all times, and are patrolling the area to shoo monkeys away. In a span of 30min, we witnessed monkeys stealing hats off visitors heads, water bottles stolen, handphones lifted from open bags and swarming towards people holding plastic bags. Also watch out for monkeys coming up the cliff walls. I would not visit this place because spectacles might get snatched and smashed. The kecak dance queues are incredibly long and guests wait a long time in the heat to get a choice of seats. It felt like a tourist trap, so if you're interested in jist the sunset views, feel free to skip the dance and enjoy the temple views. Unfortunately, it was a very cloudy day when we visited so we couldn't get a good sunset shot. The entire grounds could be covered in less than 30min so plan your trip well for sunset if that's your only goal. It is 50k pax for temple only visit (no dance) and we paid in cash. Temple requires legs to be covered so long sashes are freely available at the entrance for those who are not wearing long pants/shorts. I would suggest visiting their website for a map of the grounds.

Great place to explore dharmic side of Bali. But access to worship area is totally restricted that was a bit disappointing for practicing Hindu like me. Still a good place to visit. And don’t miss Kechak dance there.

Amazing views from the cliff to admire Indian Ocean. Every evening there’s Kecak dance show you can watch during sunset (6pm and 7pm). Be aware of the monkeys - they like to mess up and steal your goods including sunglasses and phones! I recommend to come before sunset for the best views and stay till it gets dark.

The views are amazing. It's very hot during the sunny weather so make sure to take a hat/umbrella for the sun and some water(you can't buy it inside). Beware of the monkeys as they are very plucky and might try to take your belongings. I don't think they are aggressive enough to fight or bite you though. There are guards everywhere around which are looking out for them and will help you to retrieve your stuff if they steal it.

Great experience watched kecak dance at golden hour. Amazing sunset, beautiful cliff edge with clear skies and powerfull waves. One of must visit place in Bali. Allert! Monkeys are very aggressive. Make sure to follow instructions from the guide.

Beautiful place to visit! Lots of culture, lots of beautiful views, lots of monkeys. Despite the other recent reviews, the monkeys didn't come near me. As with any tourist attraction the earlier you get here the better.

The views are amazing, one of the best that we have seen from lot of countries. However for temple you need to buy separate tickets. Even if you have to just watch Kecak dance then also you have to buy separate tickets for temple entry which is wrong.

An absolutely stunning spot and definitely worth a visit! 🌾 The views over the rice terraces are breathtaking, and you can really feel the beauty and calm of Bali here. There are those famous swing experiences where you can rent a beautiful flowing dress and pay for a professional photo or video — they’re amazing if you want that classic Bali swing moment! 🎥💃 But there are also lovely free spots around the terraces where you can take great photos without spending extra. Just explore a little and you’ll find beautiful angles with fewer crowds. Highly recommend going early in the morning for the best light and a peaceful atmosphere. ✨

These terraces are located closest to Ubud and are by far the most popular with tourists. Admission is free, but you can pay a voluntary fee. They are beautifully maintained, with many spots and viewpoints for beautiful photos. It's worth sitting down at a nearby restaurant (there are many to choose from) for a drink or a meal and admiring the rice terraces from a different perspective. A phenomenal place. I won't say more. It's a must-see.

Absolutely stunning place! 🌾 The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are one of the most beautiful spots in Bali. You can walk along the narrow paths through the rice fields and enjoy the amazing view of the terraced hills. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a great way to connect with nature. Perfect for travelers, families with kids, or even teens who want to learn about local farming and Balinese culture. Don’t forget to stop by one of the small cafés around for a coconut or coffee while enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend visiting early morning or before sunset for the best experience! 🌅✨

Spectacular place to visit. I HIGHLY recommend going there around sunrise. I was let in at 6:30am and i was the only one there for a good 30 mins. To be left to your own devices in a UNESCO World Heritage Site is out of this world. Stunning scenery every way you look. Great for photographers

The best time to visit is just before sunset, when the atmosphere is calm, traffic is lighter, and the area is pleasantly cool. The entrance fee is very affordable and already includes parking. Along the trail, several small local vendors offer refreshments — a simple yet meaningful way to support the community during your visit. What makes this destination truly special is its commitment to preserving the natural landscape while empowering the local residents. A serene and sustainable experience that reflects the authentic beauty of Bali.

Absolutely breathtaking! Tegallalang Rice Terrace is one of the most stunning places in Bali — the layered green fields, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere make it unforgettable. The views are picture-perfect from every angle, and walking through the terraces feels like stepping into a postcard. A must-visit spot that truly captures the beauty of Bali!

This was a beautiful experience. I was so excited to explore rice fields and this didn't disappoint. The green colors were vibrant and the many layers of the terrace were beautiful. They have the option to do zip line, swing, Aladin carpet ride, and superman. All great options to explore the beauty of the fields.

Nice beach. Clean. Very busy. To enjoy mostly in the evening. Sunset view is great. Beach cafes arrange live music by local bands. That can be enjoyed with food and drinks. One can also enjoy same sitting on beach also. Food costs are moderate and average.

Beautiful beach with a pathway a few kilometres long with lots and lots of places to stop for food or a drink. Also toilets along the way. The are hundreds of comfortable chairs to sit on on the beach but you must pay. I also found a place that done a really nice massage on the beach.

Swimming, surfing, and playing in the waves until you’re tired — just as the sunset begins to come. Sitting on the beach, watching the whole shore turn a glowing red, you rest while the sun also rests, slowly sinking toward the horizon. It’s the most beautiful way to enjoy the light of the day.

It's a long sandy beach with waves and beautiful sunset in some days but it will be nicer if it has more coconut trees than trash and dog poo. Public toilet very dirty and not free.

Easy access to the beaches, the water is so warm, and there are SEVERAL eateries, stands, and bars where someone could grab a beverage. So much opportunity for walking, surfing, (IN SOME PLACES SWIMMING), and getting a tan. I will say the beach can get pretty messy, there are HOARDES of tourists, and people will ask you to buy stuff all the time. People will also continuously ask if you need a ride, honking is very common here.

I really like this beach .. it’s a large & wide beach excellent for long walk, the Ocean is fun with waves . But have to be careful where you go . The most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen .

Seminyak Beach, located on the west coast of Bali, is one of the island’s most famous and stylish coastal destinations. Known for its long stretch of golden sand and sophisticated atmosphere, Seminyak offers a perfect balance between relaxation, leisure, and vibrant nightlife. Unlike some of the busier beaches in Bali, Seminyak manages to maintain an upscale and laid-back vibe that attracts both international tourists and locals seeking a refined beach experience. One of the highlights of Seminyak Beach is its stunning sunset view. Every evening, visitors gather along the shoreline to witness the sky transform into shades of orange, pink, and purple. The beach is also lined with chic beach clubs, trendy bars, and luxury resorts, making it an ideal place for those who enjoy a lively social scene. Famous venues such as Ku De Ta and Potato Head Beach Club have become iconic landmarks, offering great cocktails, music, and oceanfront views. For daytime activities, Seminyak Beach is popular among surfers, especially beginners and intermediate levels, thanks to its consistent waves. Sunbathing, swimming, and beach walks are equally enjoyable here. The sand is soft, the water is refreshing, and the atmosphere feels more relaxed compared to nearby Kuta. In addition, the surrounding area of Seminyak is home to high-end boutiques, art galleries, and world-class dining options, making it a complete lifestyle destination. Overall, Seminyak Beach is more than just a place to relax by the ocean—it represents Bali’s chic and modern side while still preserving its natural charm. Whether you are looking for a romantic escape, a stylish hangout with friends, or simply a peaceful beach day, Seminyak offers a memorable experience that captures the essence of Bali’s coastal beauty.

What a great beach to learn to surf at. Great instructors. And there is a bit of shade from the harsh bali sun. Be prepared to walk up and down 100 or so steep stairs.

Prettiest beach I have seen in bali - it easily became my favorite. It is rather small, but that’s what makes it cozy. Didn’t get a chance to surf here but waves seem chill and beginner friendly compared to other parts of bali. Beach was quite crowded on Friday past noon, but still worth visiting💯 Sidenote: -has entrance fee -will see some monkeys -has 2 not-so-clean bathroom and 3 showers, no area to change -need to walk up and down steep steps to reach the beach area, could be difficult for elders or kids if you are traveling as a family

A magical beach with cinematic beauty and spiritual calm. Padang Padang Beach is one of those places that truly lives up to the photos. Tucked below towering cliffs, it’s small, golden, and framed by turquoise water that sparkles in the sun. You enter through a narrow limestone passageway, almost like stepping into a secret world — and when the view opens, it takes your breath away. This beach became famous after the movie Eat Pray Love was filmed here, and you can instantly feel why — it has that same romantic, peaceful, self-discovery energy that Bali is known for. 🌿 It’s also a surfer’s paradise, so expect crowds of surfers waiting for the perfect wave, especially in the late afternoon. If you prefer quiet, come early morning when the tide is soft and the light glows gently on the water. There’s only one restaurant right on the beach — simple, local, and great for fresh coconuts or a light meal after swimming. Bring cash, as there are no ATMs nearby, and a small fee is collected at the entrance for parking and beach access. Be mindful of the monkeys near the stairs — they’re cheeky and quick, so hold on to sunglasses and jewelry! This is a place to slow down, connect with the ocean, and simply breathe. Whether you come for the surf, the views, or a quiet moment of reflection, Padang Padang Beach reminds you of Bali’s pure, soulful beauty. ✨ Shared on my journey of mindful travel, yoga & ocean calm at @AlwaysInYogaFlow

Small but gorgeous. Even without the typical sunny Bali weather, the mist and soft light made Padang Padang feel peaceful and strikingly beautiful. Perfect for a relaxed visit watching surfers or actually surfing!

Great beach with calm water and white sand. It can get crowded, but it’s worth it. You’ll be surrounded by monkeys, which is a fun surprise. Be prepared for about 100 steps down and up, your cardio for the day! Fantastic.

Love this beach!!!!! Best one i ever been. Definitely recommend to go early in morning (opens at 7) before 10am for sure, because then, you can enjoy it with less crowds, and there will be more natural shades

Very nice beach, a perfect view here! Here might be the only place where you can swim in Bali. But the toilets are dirty, shower area is not enough.

Nice place to walk not far from the city. You have a good walking trail, but most of it expose to the sun. You can't go of the walking way to gind you a nice quit place in the wood. On start from south you can reach the river. On the north point you have some galeres and coffee shoe. If you need to get by walk to your entry point, start from south because there is a hilll to go, and it will be nicer to go down after you finish you walking.

Beautiful walk. Lots of up and down and stairs. If someone has trouble walking won't be too good for them. It is very hot as well. This Campuhan Ridge Walk can be a leisurely hike and takes around 30 to 45 minutes each way. Ofcourse depending on your pace and how often you stop for photos. I didn't go too far as it was very hot and humid but the entire round trip can be completed in about 1.5 hours. I also recommend wearing comfortable sneakers or walking shoes because the path is uneven in some places. If you plan to explore the nearby villages or stop at one of the cafés along the way, you might want to allow a bit more time. I stopped at a beautiful temple to visit just before starting the trail, so I would probably dedicate half a day to this visit. Lush greenery everywhere. It's free to enter the place.

Very pretty walk, totally mapped out so you won’t get lost. I wish there was more of a loop but I basically stop at a cute cafe called Draniki get a juice and go back the way I came. It’s a good, relaxing way to get your steps in away from the town. But it’s not really a hike for anyone looking for a challenge.

I was interested in visiting Campuhan Ridge Walk because many of my friends recommended it. As someone who loves hiking and walking, the Campuhan Ridge Walk was definitely something I didn’t want to miss during my stay in Ubud. I started my walk at 7 AM, and I think it was the perfect time. The trail is about 2 km long with beautiful scenery along the way. It wasn’t crowded in the morning, though I still passed a few people walking or jogging. Some brought their kids, and I also saw several people walking with their dogs. I loved walking slowly along the neatly paved path. It took me around one hour to reach Pura Gunung Lebah. There are no restaurants or convenience stores along the trail, so it’s important to bring your own water. There are also no public toilets along the way, but once you reach the village area, you’ll find restaurants and small shops. In the village, you can also see art galleries, villas, and more places to explore. Historically, the Campuhan Ridge was originally a meditation path used by the priest who built Pura Gunung Lebah. With time, the temple and the trail became an important spiritual center in the Ubud area. As the local community grew, the surroundings developed into residential areas. And with the growth of tourism in Ubud, the ridge walk eventually became one of the must-visit spots. Even so, I can still feel the spiritual atmosphere when walking slowly along the trail—enjoying the beautiful scenery, the fresh air, and the calm environment.

The pavement/walkway was so clean and serene. Come early to avoid the heat. I didn't go all the way to the other side but you can enjoy the calm village view and had smoothie, fruits or coffee on your way.

Amazing trek but the walk is not suitable for children and prams. The hills are steep and the steps are crooked and easy to trip over. I saw a local trip and fall on my visit here. Be careful, wear good shoes. I would recommend not going on a hot day as there aren’t any air conditioned areas at the end point.

The Campuhan Ridge Walk in Ubud is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Ubud itself — the path is easy winding along the top of the ridge through green hills, tall grasses, and endless views. The walk starts near the bridge and river at the bottom and winds up past the beautiful old temple and opens up into a most scenic walk We used the Voicemap app for a self-guided tour, and it made the walk even more interesting. It pointed out things we might’ve missed — the different grasses swaying along the ridge, the birds and insect life, the history of the path, and even the story of how those two famous palm trees ended up there! Toward the end, it also mentions that you can keep going down into the rice fields if you want to explore further. The app explores the history of Ubud too and lots of other interesting stories. We went early in the morning before the heat and humidity of the day, if youre going later take a hat or umbrella and was amazed at the amount of people talking their morning walk along there. The views are lovely and it’s a calm, refreshing way to start the day in Ubud. The Ridge is not far from the main road and easy to wander back ready for the day ahead.

This museum houses the paintings of Antonio Blanco a Spaniard who was born in the Philippines then moved to Bali and settled here. It’s a beautiful quiet place. The parrots were my favourite part I got to hold them and take photos they are lovely and have such a calming energy. There were very few people and my mom and I enjoyed strolling around together. We enjoyed the quiet garden with the fountain and fishes 🐟 also the beautiful friendly parrots 🦜 there’s a plant based restaurant next door as well with some nice gelato and great service and views! I would totally recommend this place and the gelato next door to cool down after a long day of walking

An absolute gem in Ubud and a must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, and Balinese culture. 🎨✨ The Blanco Renaissance Museum was once the home and studio of the famous Spanish-Filipino artist Don Antonio Blanco, often called “the Dali of Bali.” He settled here in the 1950s after falling in love with a Balinese dancer — and with Bali itself. The museum beautifully preserves his legacy, displaying his passionate and sometimes whimsical artworks, mostly celebrating women, nature, and the spirit of life. The museum building itself is stunning, perched on a hill overlooking lush green valleys, and designed in a mix of Balinese and Spanish architectural styles. Every corner feels alive with creativity — from the grand entrance gates to the spiral staircase and private studio. You can even see Blanco’s old workspace just as he left it, filled with brushes, paints, and personal memorabilia. The gardens are peaceful and full of charm, with colorful flowers, sculptures, and even a few peacocks wandering freely — they really add to the fairytale atmosphere! 🦚 There’s also a small café where you can relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the views after your visit. If you love art, history, or just discovering the soul of Bali through its artists, you’ll definitely appreciate this place. It’s both inspiring and serene — a glimpse into the life of a man who truly embodied creativity. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ubud! 🌺

Put this on your list of Top 100 things to do in Ubud. In other words there are 99 better things to do in Ubud than set foot in this badly-lit, dusty, self-Indulgent museum to a mediocre artist. The building and its grounds are impressive but that’s where it ends. Save your 100 IDR entrance fee and use it instead for a couple of patisserie at one of Ubuds best restaurants right next door at Plant Bistro. Here’s a picture of one of the displays at the museum to give you a taste of what you’re missing!

An interesting walk around Blanco's house and studio. There is a lovely outside area with, surprisingly, a few macaws and parrots on perches. Also a some mynah birds in a cage, which seemed a bit sad. The main ballroom building was very impressive. Tourist tickets cost Rp 100,000 which seemed a bit steep. If ticket price were halved, that would perhaps be most appropriate.

The museum was wonderful and the staff were very friendly. They even helped me take photos. However, during my visit I kept hearing a white parrot crying very loudly in a way that sounded distressed. When I walked closer, the parrot suddenly looked cheerful and seemed eager to interact with people, which made me feel it might be a bit anxious. I hope the parrots here can receive proper care and attention.🙏

I came expecting a nice relaxing art viewing but I was disappointed. The place was beautiful but my god it's so HOT inside, I was sweating like crazy and it makes me not comfortable to be in the museum for too long. The birds were cute though, and the staff was nice and would offer to take your pics. But honestly for the ticket price of 55k it wasn't worth it overall

We had a lovey morning at the museum. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable and the grounds were as beautiful as the art inside. A morning well spent.

It was ok, but be aware that visitors are not allowed inside the temple at all, so all you get to see for the entrance fee is the gardens and ponds at the front. They're pretty, for sure, but it's not quite what we were expecting. I understand it's culturally important and they don't want to be overrun with tourists, but it's disappointing to get there and find out you can't actually see the best bits. The front also houses a Starbucks (!!!) and big restaurant, so it's not exactly capturing the authentic temple feel.

A very beautiful landmark in the heart of central Ubud. Very close to the Ubud Palace and is a must visit place. There is of course entrance fees to be paid. All visitors are provided traditional attire and it looks really nice. There are cultural performances every evening. A lot of restaurants and cafes are there within the compound and nearby.

Pura Taman Kemuda (Saraswati Temple) is absolutely magical. The moment you walk in, you feel the calm energy of the place. The lotus pond is stunning — peaceful, dreamy, and perfect for photos — and the temple’s carvings and architecture are incredibly detailed and full of soul. It’s one of those spots in Ubud where you can slow down, breathe, and really feel Bali’s spiritual side. Even with visitors around, the atmosphere stays serene. I loved every minute here. A must-visit if you’re in Ubud. ✨🌺

Disappointing After seeing this online, I was very keen to visit. However, after I was left disappointed. It appears they have made some renovations/changes this year and not for the most positive. The stepping stones have been added to the lily pad ponds but I’m not sure if that’s to the detriment of the lily pads…. Didn’t look as healthy as previous photos. The main area of the temple is no longer public accessible so you’re really just seeing the front garden. Which you could just look at from the road without paying the entrance fee. The traditional Balinese dress is required to be worn, but is just passed onto the next person and on a hot day is very sweaty and grubby. Also just comes in one size. So if you are a bit taller or wider it doesn’t fit correctly and just probs make a bit of a mockery of it all rather than being culturally sensitive

Pura Taman Saraswati is one of the most beautiful Hindu temples that I visited during my stay in Bali. It's known also as the Water Palace of Ubud because of its lotus ponds: you can walk on them thanks to round decorated stones that create a path. All the visitors are given the same purple coat that matches the colour of the ornaments of the temple.

If you buy tickets online they will be cheaper than at the entrance. Dress in traditional clothes. Honestly, I think you need to come here early in the morning, as we were there at 12 noon and there were a lot of people, it was hard to take photos. The temple itself, the architecture and the decor are very cool.

60000 IDR for entrance fee you must wear the sarong and shirt, its free for rental beautiful temple with lotus pond, got a restaurant inside

Most of the prices are 3x the selling price we see at stores in Sanur Harbor. Even if you haggle, you will just be able to haggle it to the original selling price. So don’t buy unless you don’t have time to look elsewhere or want a challenge to haggle until you deem the price is worth the item. We were able to buy some items that I didn’t see in other places like the patched up pants.

A vibrant place full of handicrafts, souvenirs, and Balinese art. Prices can be quite expensive, so make sure you have good bargaining skills. Parking is a bit difficult, but aside from that, it’s a great spot to explore and experience the local atmosphere.

A large market with many similar stalls—it can feel a bit repetitive, as most shops sell the same items. Prices are inflated for tourists, so bargaining is expected, and you can often bring the price down by half or more, which makes it hard to know the real value. While the setting is lively and picturesque, giving you a nice spot to wander if you’re already in the area, it feels more tourist-oriented than authentic. We noticed the same goods being sold in many other parts of Bali, so don’t expect unique local craftsmanship here. Do check out the second floor if you visit, but overall, I wouldn’t return as it lacked originality.

Ubud Art Market is a vibrant and colorful place that truly reflects the artistic soul of Bali. Located right in the heart of Ubud, this market is packed with beautiful handmade items — from wooden carvings and rattan bags to batik clothes, paintings, and jewelry. Every corner is filled with creativity and craftsmanship, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves local art and culture. One of the best parts of shopping here is the bargaining experience. The initial price that vendors quote is usually much higher than the actual selling value, so don’t hesitate to negotiate — it’s part of the fun! In many cases, you can get items for half or even one-third of the first price if you bargain politely and with a smile. For example, if something starts at 300,000 IDR, you can often get it for around 100,000 IDR or even less. It’s a great feeling when you walk away with a good deal while supporting local artisans. Just take your time, explore the different stalls, and enjoy the friendly conversations with the sellers. Overall, Ubud Art Market is not just a shopping stop — it’s a cultural experience where your bargaining skills can truly shine!

Products are costly here because tourists place. Shop owners know this. But you can get products in cheap prices after bargain. You can easily bargain 50% less price and shop owners will agree. I purchased the similar products outside the market with less price and same quality. Rest, Street Style Market, you have to walk a lot between the shops. Must Visit but do not buy anything unless you really liked it. Check out the images for more information.

Pretty big market full of souvenirs and clothes. Everyone is happy to bargain, basically the price they tell you at first is always highly overpriced. If the say something cost 300k you can buy it at 150k easily or start bargaining and get it down to 50-100k rupees. Never ever accept initial pricing. We bought a bunch of souvenirs and clothes here. Pricing for the magnets is about +-20k, most of the clothes (tshirts, shorts, etc) you can get at 50-100k.

Lovely place to get all your bits and pieces to take back home. Shop owners didnt really push you to buy like I've experienced at Kuta market.

This was my 4th time visiting the monkey forest and I loved it. Despite what you hear about monkey aggression, you just have to follow the rules and signs. I did make eye contact with a monkey by accident and it grabbed me which I found quite funny to be honest. It didn’t hurt me, and it was my mistake lol. To add to that, I have never been attacked or seen anyone badly injured here. Honestly, it was heartwarming to see the local Balinese bonding and feeding the monkeys, you can tell they are trained and know what they are doing. I really enjoy the fact that these monkeys are able to free roam. It may be scary for humans, but it is great that they are not chained or caged. It is so nice to see the Balinese genuinely care for these gorgeous animals. At the end of the day, you are in the monkeys home. Treat them with respect and they shall leave you be. It’s a really beautiful and breezy area. The natural landscape of this place is breathtaking.

A nice casual walk in the park. There are a lot of monkeys but they are not aggressive. There are conservation staff around to park to ensure that the interactions between the guests and monkeys are safe and ethical. The monkeys are not particularly afraid of humans and may climb onto a person, although no feeding is allowed. Most part of the park is shaded and in forest area. Bring bug spray. There’s a nice and easy walking trail through the forest and lots of relics to look at.

Such a magical and unforgettable experience! The Monkey Forest Sanctuary is absolutely beautiful, lush, peaceful, and filled with nature’s charm. The monkeys are playful and fun to watch (just keep your belongings safe!). I loved how well-maintained and organized the place is, with helpful staff and clear paths through the forest and temples. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and nature all in one spot. A must-visit when in Ubud!

Surpassed any expectations I have had about the sanctuary. I was a bit scared and nervous coming to the place. However, if you follow the rules, monkey will leave you alone and do they own things and they're very useo to human. It was an amazing experience to observe the monkeys in their habitat. The place was very well maintained and reasonable price for entry tickets.

Great place to visit! I had a really nice time walking through this tropical forest filled with monkeys. There are plenty of them everywhere, and watching them was a lot of fun. The whole walk was relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop when you’re in Ubud.

This place is absolutely beautiful, magical, and full of wanderlust energy! Monkeys are everywhere swinging from trees, lounging on railings, and living their best lives. The forest itself feels like stepping into another world, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient temples covered in moss. It’s incredible to watch these monkeys up close (just hold onto your belongings!). I had such a fun and unforgettable experience here. The monkeys truly seem to be living great lives in their sacred jungle home.

Be careful >< I had some Keychain on my bag, Litteraly at the exit, one monkey took 2 of them.. I was able to grab one back. Anyways don't have anything outside the bag, water, Keychain ecc, no sunglasses and I would be careful also with earrings. We needed like an hour to see everything inside, it's nice and the monkey are mostly doing their things, eating, running ecc. I did not pay for have my photo taken, if I remember correctly was 50k for the service. Just be respectful, I took photo of the monkey but didn't get to near, just walk and leave them alone. When there's a lot of people can be stressful for them.

The concept of this shopping centre is out of the box and it's very refreshing to walk around it. It has almost all the notable brands like Zara, H & M, Uniqlo etc. The food court area is big too but major food brands are missing here. The beach view from their top floor is very pleasing and seeing sunset from there is an experience to have. It's highly recommended to whoever is visiting Bali.

Nice and cozy place to hang out or walk around. The open-air design feels fresh with lots of greenery. Plenty of stores from famous brands to local food spots. The location is perfect, right in front of the beach… this is a great place to enjoy the sunset. Parking can be a bit tricky when it’s crowded though.

The heat in Bali is no joke, but honestly, that’s what makes the combo of beaches + shopping malls so perfect. One moment you’re lying lazily on a sunbed, toes in the sand, cooling off in the waves 🌊 and then you’re wandering through an air-conditioned mall, checking out local finds. From salty sea breezes to cool AC winds — this balance feels like real vacation living

It's a very beautiful mall with highend branded stores with wide parking area. Also have Atm hub in the basement. For sweet tooth🍦🍰🍭🍫 they can easily find the candylicious store at ground floor. Smooth security checkin. Even on weekends you can find the things very smooth. For scooty and bikes people can easily park in front of the shopping centre near the kuta beach. I personally loved it coz they have, salon, nailartist, eateries, inside one hub. They have koi moi fish pond in front of candilicious which enhance the beauty✨😍 must visit if you are in kuta Indonesia🇮🇩

Spent 3 hours here this morning. Has a lot of premium brand stores. Very competitively priced. Staff very helpful. Highlight of the visit was the Pop Mart store. Some good restaurants. Good shops for gifts, high quality snacks and cosmetics. Lots of options.

Big shopping centre and a refuge from the city. Had a nice sushi bar. Should have more air-conditioning though, it was extremely humid. Also the music is way too loud in several parts of the mall.

Beachwalk Shopping Centre is one of the nicest malls in Bali! It’s open-air, beautifully designed, and right across from Kuta Beach — perfect for shopping, dining, or just relaxing. There’s a great mix of international brands, cafes, and restaurants. A must-visit spot if you’re around Kuta!

Lovely beach walk with beautiful sculptures along the way. The water isn’t super clear, but there are plenty of nice spots to enjoy, plus restaurants and coffee shops around. It can get a bit busy, but you’ll still find quieter corners to relax.

Beautiful long beach, great for surfing. I like the long walking path or just the beach as you can take long walks here. Sadly, I see some working horses too - heartbreaking to see the poor treatments of animals. No excuse for animal abuse, when people can use motorbikes instead.

It’s a lively and beautiful beach with soft sand and great sunset views. The area can get crowded, but the atmosphere is fun and full of energy. A good spot to relax, surf, or just watch the waves.

Had a good time at Kuta Beach, lots of surf spots, bars along the beach, coconuts, beer. Beautiful Sunsets. There’s a shopping plaza across the street.

Nice beach for surfing. The whole stretch of the beach have many surfing board to rent. There are many sun loungers and umbrellas spots for rent as well. If you need some drinks, there are plenty of stalls you can order from. I ordered a cold coconut with 50k rupiah.

Kuta Beach is one of the most famous spots to watch the sunset in Bali, and the best way to enjoy it is by walking along the shoreline rather than sitting in one place. - Many people rent out seats and beanbags, but the nicest view is simply strolling by the water as the sun goes down. - A good time to start is around 17:15–17:45 (depending on the season). - You can begin from the Kuta Beach area right in front of Beachwalk Mall and walk north toward Legian Beach. - Enjoy the changing colors of the sky and the waves as you walk; it’s a calm and relaxing sunset experience. Tips for first-timers: - The beach is not very clean; you will see quite a lot of plastic bottles and other trash on the sand. - Some visitors bring their dogs; the owners are usually nearby, but dog fights can happen, so stay aware if you’re uncomfortable around animals. - If you plan to return to where you started (e.g. Beachwalk Mall), turn back before the sun fully sets, because it gets quite dark afterward.

Strong waves, and nice sunsets! I went here a lot of times and although it was cloudy often, the sunset is still lovely. You need to buy from stores to stay on benches but you can find a lot of free spaces along the shore. Just bring a beach towel & book, or just sit on the sand like I do.

Waterbom Bali = 10/10 🌊✨ I recently visited Waterbom Bali, and I have to say it’s one of the best waterparks I’ve ever been to. The park offers a wide variety of attractions, from thrilling slides to relaxing areas, with different zones designed to suit all ages and preferences. The facilities are excellent, very well-organized, and spotless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The staff and team members were friendly, helpful, and made everything easy. Overall, I highly recommend visiting—whether you’re with family, friends, or just looking for a fun day out.

A great aqua park with the Bali jungle theme. I knew why it's one of the top ranked parks worldwide. Although the place is not huge, it has all the facilities, food, lockers & showers with high quality. Very well organized. All rides are suitable for family except one or 2 which are super extreme. The working crew is very helpful. No food is allowed inside.

What a fun day at waterbom!!! The best water park ever!!! The place is huge & nice. Definitely worth it. Families or groups so recommended to come to this place. They have big parking area. The service also very good, all the staff are nice, friendly & helpful. But sadly for the changing room only the front one near the exit door that have shower. They should put also for the second one behind. They have a small store also. You can buy some merchandise from there. Not allowed to bring your food from outside. But thef food here also expensivet🙈. Overall what a nice place!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Waterbom Bali – A Perfect Family Day Out! An absolutely fantastic day! The park is clean, well-organised, and has something for everyone — from big adrenaline slides to relaxing lazy rivers. Staff were friendly and safety-focused, which made the whole experience feel really comfortable, especially with kids. The grounds are beautiful, the food options were great, and the queues moved quickly. A highlight of our Bali trip — we could’ve stayed all day! Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone wanting a fun, safe, and memorable day in Bali. 🌴💦🎢

Awesome day out. Very clean, safe and friendly. Queuing was not a problem - just go for the rides with small queues and save the popular ones for lunchtime or the end of the day. Place was pretty much empty by 5pm. My boy had an absolute blast!

A trip to Bali just isn’t complete without hitting up Waterbom. This place is unreal. Everything is so well thought-out, super clean, and there are friendly staff and lifeguards everywhere keeping an eye on things with big smiles. The slides are an absolute blast – thrilling, exciting, and had us screaming and laughing non-stop. My kids were in heaven all day, didn’t want to leave, and keep asking when we’re going back. Hands-down the best water park day we’ve ever had! 🌊✨

We loved everything in tge waterpark. We took all the slides and they were so so fun! We couldn’t decide our favorite, every single one was so fun! The staff were super helpful. We ate so much gelato because it was that good! The lazy river was a great way to relax after a high adrenaline slide. We absolutely loved it. 10/10 experience. Highly recommended!

A beautiful lake where there is no access to it because all the surrounding area along the lake is private or i didnt find any public area by the shore of the lake where you can relax and enjoy the view!!

Walk around the lake. This is real Bali with rare foreigners. Enjoy your trip with wonderful views of Mt Batur and the lake.

Many years ago,I came here in kintamani and it was a dirt track and a few hawkers. Now it has a massive viewing platform along with aggressive hawkers. Now don't get me wrong,the views are fabulous and many lovely restaurants around too....BUT..if ur a foreigner and have a car or guide,before u getting the top to view the mountain u will be charged 50,000rp or $5 per person just to drive to the top 1 min away. I have no objection to pay as long as at the other end there is someone to maybe give a brief history of the area or mnt. All monies go back to the government but nothing for the locals who are struggling!( that's what I was told by the guide). So,as explained to the guide what I would spent with the hawkers,was spent at the ridiculous "entrance" fee. Do yourself a favour...buy a postcard instead! Worst experience on Bali! Let me explain why! And let me show alternatives. 1. Mass invasion of tourists. And with invasion I mean a never ending snake of people from bottom to top and back. No joke! On the top of mt. batur were at least 300 people. I Never expected sooooo much people. While watching sunrise other people walking around all the time, stand up in front of you for selfies etc. 2. Booking a guide, means booking someone showing you the way! Not more! Our guide told us nothing about history and geology of Mt. Batur. I knew more then him after reading Wikipedia article. But the guide never stopped asking us, if we like to have a longer tour (for more money of course). 3. Mafialike trekking agencies try to force you book a guide. (Mine was Arlinas) 4. Breakfast: = a joke, toast with egg and banana. 5. Equipment: another joke! Just a simple torch with not enough power. After 30min walk light was gone! Nothing else of equipment. 6. The price is horraible expensive for the provided service (300k per person) I was in a Group of 4 people after negotiation. 6. Last but not least the view. The view is beautiful that's true. But millions of views are beautiful while sunrise. Ok, if you still think I want to hike Mt. Batur... please don't or go without guide. The way up is no problem if you have the right shoes, torch and googlemaps. Just start from black lava hostel and follow the way to the Pura penataran agung temple, turn right and head to the Pura Payogaan temple (check Google maps). Follow the trail (5-10min) until you reach a shack where they sell water, etc. From here just follow the masses. If you want to see the sunset alone and without spending so much money, avoid Mt. Batur, rent a scooter and watch it from the south-west caldera of the volcano. This means nearly same angle to the sunrise and you got Mt. Batur, Mt. Abang, and Mt. Agung on your photos. Which is more impressive! Just give it a try. If you don't like it you can go next day to Mt Batur.

The best driver in bali 👌

My favorite place , my favorite town CD there’s a nice restaurant on the hill Beautiful mountains of you every morning I wake up Possibility to hike to bike to drive a 4 x 4 car Enjoy the walk on the mountain

Spent 2 hours walking around Danau Batur. Really love that the lake comes with views of 3 magnificent mountains and the lake is surrounded by local villages instead of tourism. Beautiful blue sky accompanied with it. Tourists are non existent in this village. Love to be around locals and no other foreigners. We also love the fact that this place offers serenity and peace, in touch with nature. Lots of farm lands, locals and sound of crickets.

Absolutely stunning & peaceful place to visit. The view makes me calm & breathtaking. the temperature is cool even during afternoon. but to get here, you need a driver ‘supir’ because no scooter for rent available nearby.

I went to Pandawa Beach on a sunny day, the weather was great and the surroundings were quite clean and refreshing. The water was clear with nice waves, and the breeze made it feel cooler. It does get pretty hot though, so don’t forget to bring a hat or use some sun protections 👍

If you want to rent cozy chair price is 50k for 2,coconut is 25k. The sand is very smooth. Good place good vibes not too crowded coz its not in high season. Overall very great experience love it❤️

I visited Pandawa Beach at noon and truly enjoyed the experience. The view of the ocean and cliffs is absolutely stunning, and unlike many other beaches in Bali, this place is not too crowded, which makes it perfect for relaxing and taking in the natural beauty. The sand is clean, and the sea water is crystal clear, inviting you to simply walk along the shore and enjoy the calm waves. There’s also a paragliding spot nearby. It’s exciting to see many people flying over the beach with such a breathtaking view from above. I spent my time feeling the sea breeze and taking photos at several famous spots around the area. Overall, Pandawa Beach is a great place for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside escape with amazing scenery.

Pandawa Beach is a peaceful gem, perfect for a sunrise or sunset stroll. Well-maintained and easily accessible by road, it offers a relaxing escape from Bali’s busier beaches. Once considered a "secret beach," it still retains a quiet, uncrowded vibe that makes it ideal for those seeking solitude and scenic beauty. There is however an entry fee to the beach. The beach is framed by dramatic cliffs, and carved into them are impressive statues of the Pandavas from the Mahabharata—an iconic highlight that gives the beach its name. Be sure not to miss these as you enter. The shore is lined with a variety of stones, making it a great spot for anyone interested in unique rock or shell collecting. The surrounding landscape is peaceful, making it perfect for a long walk or quiet reflection. If you're driving or riding a scooter, the journey to the beach is just as enjoyable—winding roads with beautiful coastal views. Whether you're looking to start your day with a calm sunrise or end it with a golden sunset, Pandawa Beach is a serene, scenic, and culturally rich destination worth visiting.

The beach is beautiful and not crowded. Entrance fee local Rp. 8000 and Foreign Rp. 15000. We booked 2 sunbeds with an umbrella, and the price we paid for 3 hours is Rp 100,000. There are a few "Warung" available on this beach serving local foods, etc. Nasi goreng, mee goreng, Bakso. We had our meals, one of the Warung and the foods is delicious, freshly prepared foods. When we arrived, we didn't notice anyone surfing on the beach. We saw many people were on paragliding and kayaking.

If you want a more authentic local vibe, this is your place. Domestic tourists and a glimpse of what Bali might have been years ago. The beach is also white and stunning. Food scene is also more catered go Indonesians and family. Glad I came here. Also, the massage ladies were good, give them some business. They do massages in beach beds.

Pandawa Beach is a stunning hidden-gem experience, tucked behind dramatic limestone cliffs and opening up to a wide stretch of crystal-clear water and soft white sand. The drive down itself is impressive, and once you arrive, the view is totally worth it. The beach is spacious and never feels too crowded, making it perfect for relaxing, swimming, or just soaking up the sun. There are plenty of small local cafés and beach chairs for rent, so you can easily spend a whole afternoon here. Compared to some of the busier beaches in Bali, Pandawa feels peaceful and less commercialized. If you’re looking for a beautiful, chill spot to enjoy the ocean without the chaos, Pandawa Beach is definitely worth a visit.
