A Detailed Look at the East Bali Experience

Starting Point: Easy Access & Convenience

This tour is designed with comfort in mind. With hotel pickup and drop-off included in a variety of Bali locations—Ubud, Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur, and beyond—you won’t need to worry about transportation logistics. The use of private, air-conditioned vehicles means you’ll travel in style and comfort, a definite plus after a warm, sun-filled day.

Visiting the Gates of Heaven: Lempuyang Temple

The first stop is arguably the highlight for many travelers. Known as the “Gateway to Heaven,” Lempuyang Temple offers a mystical setting high in East Bali’s mountains. The split gate provides a frame for views of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest volcano, which often shrouds in clouds—adding to the magic.

Expect to spend about an hour here. The experience isn’t just about snapping photos; it’s about feeling the spiritual atmosphere of one of Bali’s oldest and most revered temples. Guides like Komang are known for sharing insightful stories and ensuring visitors understand the cultural norms—such as covering shoulders and wearing a sarong, which are mandatory.

One thing to note is the temple’s strict rules—no drone photography, no climbing on walls or statues, and restrictions for women menstruating or babies under 105 days. Still, these rules help preserve the sacred environment, and guides typically help you navigate them smoothly.

Exploring Tirta Gangga Water Gardens

Next, a short drive takes you to Tirta Gangga, a former royal water palace. Here, you’ll encounter labyrinthine pools, fountains, and stone carvings set amidst lush greenery. The highlight: the eleven-tiered fountain surrounded by koi-filled ponds, offering both visual beauty and calm surroundings.

This stop is perfect for wandering at a slow pace, taking photos, or just relaxing by the water. The gardens’ serenity stands in contrast to the vibrant mountainside temple, giving a nice balance to the day.

Past visitors have appreciated the opportunity to take a dip or simply enjoy the tranquil environment. The admission tickets are included, so there’s no need to worry about extra costs.

Relaxing at Virgin Beach: Bali’s Hidden Gem

The final major stop is Virgin Beach—often called Bali’s secret beach. Tucked away between cliffs, this white sand beach is a true escape from the crowds. The crystal-clear waters beckon for swimming, snorkeling, or just lounging under the sun.

Local warungs line the beach offering fresh seafood and cold drinks, making it easy to extend your stay beyond the scheduled hour. Past visitors have found this to be a highlight of the tour, praising the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty.

The beach’s seclusion means you’ll likely find fewer travelers, allowing for genuine relaxation. Plus, the gentle waves and shallow waters make it suitable for families with children.

The Value of a Well-Rounded Day

With entrance tickets, lunch, bottled water, snacks, and all transportation included, this tour offers excellent value. The price reflects not just entry fees but also the convenience of having all logistics handled, freeing you to focus on enjoying each site.
