A Closer Look at Bali’s Top Sights on This Tour

This tour packs in three of Bali’s most loved attractions, each with its own unique charm. The beauty lies in the balance—the tranquil water gardens of Taman Ayun, the lush greenery and adventurous hike to Nungnung Waterfall, and the iconic sunset at Tanah Lot with views that seem almost made for postcards.
Taman Ayun Temple: A Peaceful Start
Your day begins at Taman Ayun, a beautiful temple surrounded by water gardens and traditional Balinese sculptures. Expect a peaceful atmosphere where you can appreciate the intricate architecture and lush surroundings. The 45-minute visit is enough to absorb the serenity plus snap some photos, and the entry fee is included, so no surprises there.
One reviewer mentions the “lovely garden and Bali sculpture,” highlighting how this site provides a gentle intro to Bali’s spiritual culture. It’s a perfect way to start the day with some calm reflection before heading into nature.
Nungnung Waterfall: A Refreshing Hike
Next is the adventure—a walk through the forest to reach Nungnung Waterfall. Expect about 20 minutes of walking through shady greenery, with the reward being a spectacular view of the waterfall plunging into a pool below. It’s a good spot for photos, and the cool spray from the falls makes it an excellent break from Bali’s warmth.
The waterfall itself is surrounded by dense jungle, offering a sense of being immersed in nature. The reviewer “enjoyed the green scenery by walking to Nung Nung waterfall,” and points out the walk is worth it. But be aware: there are quite a few steps involved, so this part of the tour is best suited for those with at least moderate physical fitness.
Tanah Lot: Bali’s Iconic Sunset Spot
The final stop is the famous Tanah Lot Temple—arguably Bali’s most photographed site. With its location perched on a rock in the ocean, it creates a dramatic silhouette at sunset. The temple is accessible and offers plenty of space for admiring the view, taking photos, and soaking in the peaceful vibe as the sky shifts through colors.
According to reviews, the sunset here is “spectacular,” and the view of the temple surrounded by the ocean makes it a must-see. The temple itself is also beautiful during the day, but the sunset transforms it into a memorable scene.
