Lempuyang Temple
Perched high on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in East Bali, the Gate of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple is one of the island’s most iconic and sacred sites. Known locally as Pura Lempuyang Luhur, this ancient Hindu temple offers breathtaking views of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest and most revered volcano. The famous “Gate of Heaven” refers to the towering split gate (candi bentar) at the temple's entrance, which perfectly frames Mount Agung in the background — a view that has become one of the most photographed spots in Bali. Many visitors come at sunrise or early morning to capture the magical moment when the clouds part and reveal the majestic mountain beyond the gate. Beyond its stunning photo opportunity, Lempuyang Temple is a deeply spiritual place, and visiting it provides a unique insight into Balinese culture and religious traditions. Reaching the temple involves a scenic drive and a series of steps, rewarding you with panoramic views and a serene atmosphere..

The Tour Guide Really Made This Tour!
My partner and I decided to go on this snorkeling tour, and we are so fortunate to have ended up with Kojek as our tour guide for the day. He made sure we made our way to the snorkeling boat as well making sure we ordered our lunch ahead of time. Once we were done with lunch, we traveled to the Gate of Heaven. Kojek definitely knows his way around this tour because he joined us on the shuttle, helped us get outfitted with the sarong, and was gracious enough to take photos of my partner and I along the way. This does make for a long day so make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen lotion as well as water. If you get Kojek as your tour guide, then you are going to be in good hands.

Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Ubud is not rushed.
Is Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple?
+
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 Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple?
+
Around 3 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 Ubud 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 Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple 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 Ubud 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 Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). 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 Ubud?
+
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 Ubud?
+
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 Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple?
+
Included: a set menu lunch; 2 sport snorkeling; Private Comfortable Air conditioned car; English speaking driver as your guide; and Entrance Ticket. Not included: photo & video. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3917 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bali Snorkeling Tour At Blue Lagoon with Gate of Heaven Temple offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
