What you'll see and do
Kehen Temple
Here worshippers burn offerings on a small hearth, Kehen Temple is one of the most beautiful temples on Bali standing above a steep slope. To reach the entrance gate one must climb a stone staircase with 38 steps guarded by stone statues on either side, all the way up to the gate. Unlike other Balinese temples where the entrance is a split gate, not so at Pura Kehen, which has a large triangular shaped gate similar to that of a mountain, where on Java, such shape is called gunungan (gunung meaning mountain).

Tirta Empul Temple
Tirta Empul Temple meaning holy water spring is actually the name of a water source located within the temple. The spring feeds various purification baths, pools and fish ponds surrounding the outer perimeter, which all flow to the Tukad Pakerisan River. Various sites throughout the region and many other archaeological relics relate to local myths and legends. As is common with Balinese temples, the Tirta Empul Temple complex has three key divisions, namely a front, secondary and inner courtyard.

Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple
Gunung Kawi Sebatu is a Hindu water temple dedicated to Vishnu, who is said to rule over water. The site is located in a dip in the land and is surrounded on three sides by stonewalls and the fourth by a steep forested slope. The temple complex is built on a natural spring, which feed a series of ponds and pools. A combination of all the greenery combined with the water features gives Gunung Kawi Sebatu a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In fact this is probably one of the prettiest temples in Bali and it’s very likely that you’ll have the place almost to yourself when you visit.

Elephant Cave
Goa Gajah Temple is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest, its an archaeological site of significant historical value that makes it a special place to visit. Located on the cool western edge of Bedulu Village, six kilometers out of central Ubud, you do not need more than an hour to descend to its relic filled courtyard and view the rock-wall carvings, a central meditational cave, bathing pools and fountains. The temple name is slightly misleading, lending the impression that its a gigantic dwelling full of elephants.

Full on but enjoyable
Well what a full on wonderful day. We were met by Nengah well on time with his very comfortable car. He gave us a lot of information about where we were going and advice about the many sellers who can swamp you. This tour visits 5 temples and there is an option to include lunch which I would highly recommend as we were served with a lovely traditional meal in a beautiful location. We enjoyed the contrast between temples. Some like the Besakih temple are quite commercialised with souvenir sellers and fairly busy. The others are beautiful and tranquil with hardly anyone else there such as the Kehen Temple. These were our favourites. Anyone with bad mobility I would say be cautious. I did this trip with two very bad knees and I couldn't make the 300 steps. However most are fine and our guide was patient and understanding and never rushed us. He was also so informative. As an aside depending where you are picked up we got to see soany different communities and villages during the drive to the temples. It is a long day but well worth the effort. Just to clarify the souvineer sellers are not persistent and we even bought some incense to take home.

Amazing trip with Nyoman!
We were picked up from Kuta which we were very grateful for as the tours were super far from our area and the other tours we were looking at did not offer us a pickup. At the first stop our driver Nyoman gave us a tour of a temple that had no other visitors and he was telling us how tours don’t usually come there because it’s a bit remote, after seeing how crowded the main temples were we realised how special that experience was. Nyoman is very knowledgeable, friendly, a good safe driver, speaks good English, took some lovely photos of us and made our day super enjoyable. Even just driving down the streets he was happy to answer our questions about culture, language, etc. He also was flexible enough to tailor our schedule to let us stay and explore the places we wanted to the most on the itinerary. If you are booking with this company request Nyoman, he is an absolute gem!

Bali Full-Day to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Bali Full-Day to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples 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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples 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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples 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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples Tour?
+
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 to Exploring The Most Popular Bali Temples 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.
