    What you'll see and do

    1. Gates of Heaven

      Lempuyang Temple or the Gate of heaven 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.

    2. Tirtagangga Park

      Tirta Gangga Water Palace were designed and constructed in 1948 by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem (1887 - 1966), who was the last king of Karangasem. He was a remarkable man to say the least, not only because he was the architect of the water gardens but also because he helped with the construction of the gardens. A lot of people were astonished to find the Raja amidst his lower class laborers, working knee deep in the mud digging out the pools and ponds.

    3. Virgin Beach

      Virgin Beach 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.

    VW Classic jeeps - big smiles all round!

    From the moment we walked out of the hotel to see theses amazing be classic jeeps waiting for us and our guide who was very flexible in making changes based on different family needs I.e a family with two twenty year olds in tow! The drive from Nusa Dua to the Gates of Heaven was 2hrs 30.. our guide was chatty all the way. When we arrived he sorted out all entrance fees, took the bus up to the top and walked with us to get our tickets and photo. Then onto a recommended coffee and tea shop with the top down. Where the whole family tried all 20 samples. Purchases in tow we were then off to water palace, which was beautiful, quite breathtaking and very peaceful. From there onto lunch at a local restaurant just 5 minutes away, service, lunch and views over rice fields was amazing, the menu catered for Indonesian, tourists (burgers, pizza, pasta) and Indian curry’s. Big helpings. From there to Virgin beach, you will need to take a towel and 100,000idr for 2 beds and an umbrella. Beach was pristine and ocean was glorious, great views as you descend down. We decided to take a dip in the ocean and chill before heading back to the cars and then changed the plan and visited a jewellery shop instead of a traditional Bali village. It was getting quite late by then and we missed watching them make the jewellery. However biggest jewellery store I’ve ever seen!! Back to the cars and long trek back to Nusa Dua via very busy traffic. Although long we didn’t stop smiling the whole day. Very enjoyable and stress free as our guide took care of everything!! ❤️

    Great times !

    We loved this tour so much easier to see all the sights without a roof over you . We are a family of 5 kids are 11,9,7 although a long day the kids did ok with it . Would have been harder if it was a full sunny day I would say . Maybe one option would be able to cut a couple things off if kids are coming along when you book and make it a 6-8 hr day not 8-10 . But still super happy we did it !! Our drivers were amazing too Gidday and sorry forgot :/ but picture of him below :)

    Amazing sites of interest by VW Open top classic car

    The pick up was on time and the VW open top was in very original condition. Perfect for seeing the sites of Bali. We visited temples with amazing line of site to the volcano plus beaches and other places of interest. Kopi navigated the Bali road system with confidence and was a mine of information on local culture and traditions. We agreed it was a better experience than an air conditioned mini bus and enjoyed the day completely.

    Great day!

    I had a great day with Keta. The VW was so cool and he explained the day to me as we went. We even got to see a village tradition that happens only once a year. I’d recommend booking this and requesting him.

    Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.

    How much does Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car?

    +

    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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car?

    +

    Around 5 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car 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, Best of Bali 3-Day Packaged Tour. 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 The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car?

    +

    Included: All Entrance Ticket; Indonesian Set Menu Lunch (if option selected); Tax and Service; Hotel / Villa Pick up and Drop off Service; and Professional English Speaking Driver. Not included: Personal Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3238 listed pickup locations in and around Seminyak. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Malay and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infant under 2 years old is free of charge. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
