Lempuyang Temple
Lempuyang Temple is believed to predate the majority of Hindu temples on the island. Definitely a highlight on any travel itinerary for the fit and adventurous, the main temple lies at 1,175m above sea level, up on the peak of the namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. The heights are reachable via a steep staircase of over 1,700 steps, with attractions along the way including several other temples and hordes of grey long-tailed macaques that inhabit the surrounding cool mountain forests.

Taman Ujung Sukasada complex has a combination of Balinese and European architecture throughout three large ponds connected by long elegant bridges and pathways. The physical features and superb mountainous backdrop to its north, and sea to its southwest, make it a favorite location for pre-wedding and artistic photographers.

Virgin Beach
White sand beach Bali can be said as one of the best beaches in Bali if you are looking for a less crowded beach. This beach mentions plenty of time on travel guidebooks, but only a few people who would like to have a visit it. Because of the Beach location very far away from most of the tourist site in Bali. The sand here isn’t pure white, it close to white rather than yellow also mixes with black-sand but well-known as a white sand beach, but that does not matter. Virgin Beach Bali still offer you cleanness, beautiful scenery, and clean seawater. Many small cafes are available at Virgin Beach Bali and sell good food and consider cheap to most people.

Tenganan Ancient Village
Tenganan Village is charming and has some very fascinating authentic traditional festival (ritual dances and gladiator) like Bali Aga of Tenganan often holds the battle between local youths. The people of Tenganan are skilled in the unique technique of weaving, called the double ikat, where the belief in the magical power of the fabric is essential in bringing out the beauty of the ikat cloth. There are some versions of story telling us the history of Tenganan Village, some say that the word Tenganan was derived from the word tengah or ngatengahang which means move to the inner area. This derivation of word was having a relation with the movement of the villagers from the seaside to a rural area, in which the position of this village is in the middle of hills, which are western hill (Kauh Hill) and eastern hill (Kangin Hill).

Great Gates of Heaven Bali Tour
It’s a long day, but worth it. Our great English speaking driver and guide, Raj waited patiently while we had our photos taken at the gates of heaven. What an amazing site and background for our photos. Raj bought us fish food to feed the Koi at the water palace. It was very windy at the Virgin Beach so it was difficult to swim. The visit to the ancient village was very interesting with Runi as our guide, but I would not like to live there.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review regarding your recent trip with Bali Sky Tour. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we are glad that our service met your expectations.

Gates of heaven with guide Raj

It was very windy at the Virgin Beach so it was difficult to swim. The visit to the ancient village was very interesting, but I would not like to live there. We would like Raj to be our driver and guide Sunday, September 27 for the best highlights of Bali tour. Raj explained everything fully and is an awesome driver.

My tour was breathtaking. My guide (Gusti) was well informed and very professional.
My guide, Gusti Eka, was very knowledgeable and personable. I was able to complete the day's activities while learning about - and viewing - the Bali calendar. Gusti took amazing photos/videos .. he should work in the movie industry (Hollywood, CA)!! I would highly recommend him! 👍

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seminyak can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seminyak within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Ubud Top Attractions: Waterfalls, Temples and Rice Terraces. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seminyak?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seminyak?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour?
