Tirtagangga Park
Tirta Gangga Water Palace is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest designed and constructed in 1948 by Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem (1887 - 1966), who was the last king of Karangasem.

Ujung Water Palace
Ujung Water Palace of Taman Ujung Sukasada is one of the most popular Bali Places of Interest located in the village of Seraya in Karangasem regency, its the sister site of Tirta Gangga, also built by the late raja of Karangasem. The complex consists of various large pools and historic structures set against a backdrop of Mount Agung and the eastern shoreline. The site suffered near devastation by showers of hot ash following the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963 and also weathered an earthquake in 1979. Restoration efforts throughout the decades made way to its current splendor and it continues to appeal to both locals and visitors.

Virgin Beach
Virgin Beach stretches for about 700 metres around an attractive turquoise cove bookended with rocky cliffs and fringed with tropical forest. The not-so-white sand is fine and squeaky and a joy to walk on. Out to sea, on the southern end of the beach, Pulau Kuan sits whale-like on the horizon. There has been a fair bit of development here over the years, but Virgin Beach hasn’t lost its charm — what was once a truly virgin beach now is home to a small village of beach warungs, each with a bunch of deck chairs and umbrellas to entice you to linger — but who needs enticing? With fresh fish and cold beer, the only difficulty is choosing which one.

Desa Tenganan
Tenganan Village is one of the most famous Bali Places of Interest lies in northwest of Candidasa and situated about 5 kilometers from the main road. Tenganan is a symmetrically laid out Bali Aga village with a walled homes and unique crafts. Bali Aga was the original inhabitant of Bali, before the arrival of Hindu Javanese.

East of Bali in a Day - Superb!!

via Tripadvisor
A great tour and a wonderful driver
We had a great time on this tour. We made a few customizations to work with our schedule better, and our driver Pande was very helpful and understanding. Pande was great and we would have no hesitation to work with him again in the future. We would eagerly recommend this tour to our friends and family.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review regarding your recent trip with Bali Day Tour. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we are glad that our service met your expectations. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience with your friends and colleagues so that we may extend our service to them as well.

A good time was had by all

As a driver I would say,...
As a driver I would say, it was good. But she is not a tour guide, she did not know facts or gave me any history about the places we visited. I could have done it on my own hiring a driver here for less money. I was in Thailand and the tour guides give you history and fact of the places visited
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We're glad you felt safe and comfortable on the road, but we sincerely apologize that the tour did not include the historical and cultural information you expected. You are right that a great tour guide should bring the destinations to life with facts and stories, not just transportation. We have shared your comments with our team, and our guide is currently completing additional training on the history and background of each site we visit, so future guests receive the full guided experience. We truly appreciate feedback like yours, as it helps us improve.

Memorable tour
My husband and I loved touring East Bali. Our tour guide Gusti was punctual, helpful, and got us to our destination safely. It is a bit of a drive if you’re staying in Ubud but definitely a must while in Bali!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip 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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 86 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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip?
+
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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip 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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip?
+
Around 30 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 Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip 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.
What is included in Private Full-Day Tour: The Gate of Heaven and East Bali Trip?
+
