What you'll see and do
Taman Ayun Temple
The Taman Ayun Temple of Mengwi Taman Ayun literally translates as ‘beautiful garden’ and is generally regarded as one of the most attractive temples of Bali. The Taman Ayun temple is situated in a beautiful park with trees and ponds, near the village of Mengwi in the south of Bali at about 8 km southwest of Ubud and 18 km northwest of Denpasar. Pura Taman Ayun was built in 1634 by the Raja of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Putu. It is a socalled Pura Kawiten or family temple, a special temple where the deified ancestors of the Raja Dynasty of Mengwi and important gods of other temples are honored. The Taman Ayun temple is boardered by broad canals and it can only be entered via a bridge leading to a richly ornamented candid bentar, the gate which gives access to the outer courtyard (jaba) of the temple. From this candi bentar a straight, paved footpath leads through the well maintained park past a square pond with a fountain exactly in its center. This fountain has nine water jets, four of which are positioned according the cardinal points, another four according the sub-cardinal points and the ninth in the center, symbolizing the Dewa Nawa Sanga, the nine main gods of Balinese Hinduism. The footpath leads on to a second candi bentar which gives access to the jaba tengah, the more elevated, second courtyard of the temple. Inside the jaba tengah one finds the walled jaba jero, the third and most holy courtyard of the temple in which the most important shrines are located, among others a number of five, seven, nine and eleven tierd meru’s. The jaba jero is only accessible during important religious ceremonies, such as the odalan – the day on which the inauguration of the temple is commemorated. The odalan of the Taman Ayun temple takes place every 210 days on a day called Anggara Kasih, the Tuesday of the week Medangsia of the Balinese Pawukon calendar. The ceremonies of this odalan cover a period of several days

The scenic temple
Visiting Bali must be to Tanah Lot, very scenic. Entrance ticket for local tourists is IDR 20.000/person and foreign IDR 60.000/person. In addition to Tanah Lot Temple there is also the sacred Snake Cave. It is recommended to come before sunset. Also Batu Ngaus Temple and Taman Ayun Temple are very beautiful places. You will regret if you don't visit this temple

A great place
I visited Nusa Penida more than twice, the first time I visited in the west, last year was my second visit in the east, and the third time I returned to visit the western part of the island of Nusa Penida and found that Nusa Penida was more popular than before, so it was rather crowded, especially in several places. The streets are very crowded because many visitors, if you want to visit here, it's better to avoid the peak season. and I suggest you better visit Nusa Penida not only once or twice, at least more than twice, because there are still many good places to visit in Nusa Penida. Nusa Penida is very nice, many interesting places to visit. highly recommended to visit

Bali temples
A pleasant little water temple and really a bit touristy. Not far from Tanah Lot and vice versa. If Tanah Lot is too touristy, you should stop here. Pura Batu Ngaus is located on the beach, fresh air, beautiful scenery, suitable for taking pictures. Then we continued to the Taman Ayun temple and Tanah Lot temple. At Tanah Lot temple we watched the sunset with a very beautiful temple beach. We are really very happy and satisfied. Also our driver service Nyoman is very patient and friendly

Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuta.
How much does Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 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 Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private 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 Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private Car?
+
Around 8 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Taman Ayun UNESCO and Tanah Lot Temple with private 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 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 Ubud Private Tour Rice Terraces Temples Waterfalls., Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour, Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive. 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.
