What you'll see and do
Lempuyang Temple
Lempuyang Temple is believed to predate the majority of Hindu temples on the island. Definitely a highlight on any travel itinerary for the fit and adventurous, the main temple lies at 1,175m above sea level, up on the peak of the namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. The heights are reachable via a steep staircase of over 1,700 steps, with attractions along the way including several other temples and hordes of grey long-tailed macaques that inhabit the surrounding cool mountain forests.

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. He was a remarkable man to say the least, not only because he was the architect of the water gardens but also because he helped with the construction of the gardens.

Ujung Water Palace
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, White Sand Beach, Pantai Pasir Putih, and Bias Putih are all names for the same lovely stretch of white(ish) sand within easy reach from Candi Dasa, itself having no real beach to speak of. We are calling it Virgin Beach, as that’s what’s on the brand-spanking-new official sign erected when we visited in early 2016 — it saves confusion, as there’s at least one Pantai Pasir Putih (White Sand Beach) on every island of Indonesia. Additionally, white is a misnomer — and virgins come in a wider colour range.

Tenganan Ancient Village
Tenganan Village is charming and has some very fascinating authentic traditional festival (ritual dances and gladiator) like Bali Aga of Tenganan often holds the battle between local youths. The people of Tenganan are skilled in the unique technique of weaving, called the double ikat, where the belief in the magical power of the fabric is essential in bringing out the beauty of the ikat cloth.

Amazing Day Trip to Gates of Heaven With a Terrific Driver/Guide
My wife and I had an incredible day trip to Gates of Heaven with Raj, which ended up being one of our favorite days during our honeymoon in Bali! While the Gates of Heaven were the highlighted activity for the tour, it also included stops to Virgin Beach and a local village, which we unfortunately had to decline visiting due to time constraints on our part. However, we more than got our money's worth for what we did get to partake in. Heaven's Gate was just as amazing to see in person. Although there was a long wait to take pictures in front of heaven's gate, there was luckily plenty to do in the area while we passed the time. During that time we were able to take pictures with the swings on top of the hill, stroll around the area, and had a great lunch at a nearby restaurant with a lovely mountain view (the lunch was included in the tour). That portion alone would've been worth the price of admission for the activity. But we also visited Virgin Beach, which surprisingly had few crowds and calm waves, making it a perfect beach day to relax. We spent a couple of hours there before heading back to our hotel. As for Raj, he was the best driver we had in Bali! I say driver, but he also performed duties that could easily be counted as tour/local guide. He was friendly, courteous, and professional, providing us with a smooth ride between stops, fun conversation, patiently waited as we experienced the activities, and giving us local insight into Balinese culture. He even went and got various fruits to try. Raj truly made an already amazing day trip feel even more special and we were glad to have him as our driver that day!

Would recommend!
We had a great time with our driver Agung on this trip. We got to see a lot and he was very good at telling us about the different places. We are very happy and would definitely recommend this trip, but would also recommend having Agung as a driver.

AMAZING
This agency is really good. I booked a last minute tour, and they accommodate us very well. Our driver & guide Aditya, was very kind, friendly, helpful. I couldn’t ask for more. I requested the same driver/guide for our next tour because Aditya is just so great. I highly recommend and appreciate the service.

The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour 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 Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple 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 The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple 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 The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple 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 The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour?
+
Around 2 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 The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple 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.
What is included in The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour?
+
Included: Entrance Ticket (if option selected); Professional English Speaking Driver as a tour guide; Tax and Services; Indonesian Set Menu Lunch (if option selected); and Hotel / Villa Pick up and Drop off Service. Not included: Personal Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3232 listed pickup locations in and around Seminyak. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Malay and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Gates of Heaven Bali, Lempuyang Temple Tour?
+
