Great day trip with the amazing guide Belo

We had a great day seeing Besakih temple, Penglipuran village and some more locations on the way. Belo, our guide/driver was amazing, provided lots of explanations not just for the locations but also during the journey. We also stopped at a beautiful location for lunch, thank you Belo!

Response from the operator: We appreciate your 5-star review and are thrilled to know that you had such a positive experience with us.

Temples Tour

The temple tour is very interesting and you get to see a lot more of the island as a result. Views from the Mother Temple are stunning. Big thank you to Putu our driver and guide for his support and help during a great day.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with us.

Best experience ever

My guide and driver Gede Oka was the best! Knowledgeable, listening and explaining everything, answering even my stupidest questions. I book personal tours wherever my travels take me - but this was the best experience ever because of Gede! Thanks again!

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to give us a 5-star review! We're glad to know that you had a great experience with us.

Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day cost?

+

Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day 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 Kuta is not rushed.

Is Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day?

+

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 Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day?

+

Around 4 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 Kuta 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 Kuta and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Besakih Mother Temple, Penglipuran Village and More - Full Day 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 Kuta 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 Kuta?

+

On Outty we rank every Kuta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include East Bali Tour: Gate of Heaven, Water Palace, Sleeping Gajah, Ubud Day Tour: Sacred Monkey Forest, Tegenungan Waterfall, Rice Terrace, Bali 5 Days and 4 Nights Private Tour - Best and Famous Site. 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 Kuta?

+

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 Kuta?

+

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.
