Across the Island

Journey through some of Bali’s most spectacular landscapes, from a temple seemingly floating on a mountain lake to endless UNESCO-listed rice terraces, before finishing beside the Indian Ocean at one of the island’s most iconic sea temples.

Begin in Bali’s cool central highlands at Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, beautifully positioned on the shores of Lake Beratan and surrounded by misty mountains. Its distinctive waterside setting has made it one of Bali’s most photographed temples, but beyond the view, it offers a fascinating introduction to the island’s spiritual relationship with water.

Continue through the countryside to the magnificent Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, part of Bali’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed cultural landscape. Stretching across the slopes beneath Mount Batukaru, Jatiluwih offers sweeping views of rice fields shaped by generations of traditional Balinese farming and the ancient subak irrigation system.

Take time to enjoy lunch overlooking the rice terraces, surrounded by one of Bali’s most beautiful rural landscapes, before travelling south towards the coast.

Your final stop is Tanah Lot Temple, dramatically positioned on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the sea. Explore the temple surroundings and coastal viewpoints as the afternoon draws to a close, creating a memorable finale to a day spanning Bali’s mountains, rice fields and ocean.
