It was easy to walk to this Bali temple by the sea from the shoreline making it accessible for the majority of the day. Still, as soon as the tide comes in, the rocky perch is completely covered making it appear as though the temple is floating on water.

Imagine that cultural beauty whilst watching the sun go down. Absolutely stunning!

tanah lot sunset tour photos

With its bountiful trees and tiered pagodas, this incredible sea temple resembling a ‘life-size floating bonsai garden’ provides a jaw-dropping silhouette to any sunset scene.

It’s, therefore, no surprise that this travel activity is crowded on any given day you visit, but a Bali city trip isn’t complete without it

Tanah Lot Bali being this popular of an attraction, means you need to be fairly astute when it comes to visiting to avoid crowds and get the best sunset view.

This article will outline as much information as possible for you to have the best possible sunset at Tanah Lot based on my personal experience.

Where is Tanah Lot Temple

Tanah Lot temple is also known as Pura Tanah Lot is located on the South-Eastern side of Bali in Beraban, Kediri, Tabanan Regency. Check out the Tanah Lot Bali location below:

How to get to Tanah Lot Temple

There are a few options to get to Tanah Lot Temple:

1. USE A TOUR ⭐

If you’ve read my blogs you’ll notice I often recommend using a tour. Contrary to popular belief, tours are not outrageously priced in Indonesia and often the tours are subcontracted to local companies. Local tours know the sights, the background history and especially the roads – which you’ll come to learn in Indonesia is one of the most important aspects of travelling here. In using a tour you’re supporting the local economy. I prefer this route for the hassle-free effortlessly of not having to arrange or plan too much myself 🙂 ➡️ Preferred Tanah Lot Tours

2. HIRE A CAR/DRIVER/TAXI 🚗

This is a great option that also allows you flexibility to plan your itinerary and still have the comfort of a private ride ➡️Bali Private Car Hire with Driver . You can also use Apps like Grab and GoJEK to hire a taxi car/motorbike but the only downside to this is you’ll pay for multiple trips if you’re going to a number of places. Also, you may not be able to get a taxi back once you’ve finished at a specific destination.

3. RENT YOUR OWN MOTORCYCLE/CAR (SELF DRIVE) 🏍️

In Bali there are a number of places to rent motorcycles. I don’t advise this, but it is an option for some who have the relevant licences and EXPERIENCE riding a motorcycle in heavy traffic countries in South East Asia

⚠️ WARNING: I never recommend using a motorcycle and driving yourself unless you have the correct driving license to do so and have driven a motorcycle in Indonesia or another population-dense, traffic manic Asian city before .  The motorcycle skills needed to drive in Indonesia are insane. I strongly recommend you DON’T drive a motorcycle in Bali if you do not have the RELEVANT LICENSE, EXPERIENCE, AND TRAVEL INSURANCE . I’ve heard of and seen countless tourists being injured and dying due to motorcycle accidents. Also, note that hospital care may not be at the same level as your own home country so these are all factors to consider. 

tanah lot sunset tour photos

How long it will take will depend on where you are in Bali. These are the approximate distances depending on where you are based (as per Google Maps):

Canggu to Tanah Lot – 11 km Seminyak to Tanah Lot – 19 km Ubud to Tanah Lot – 33 km Kuta to Tanah Lot – 22 km Nusa dua to Tanah lot – 36 km

📢 TRAFFIC NOTE: Something that must be mentioned here and that you need to take heed of in Indonesia, is that like other major cities in South East Asia, the traffic can be INSANE ! 5 to 10 km might seem like not very far , but in Bali in the mornings or the evenings, traffic can be a nightmare of more than 60+ minutes.

We stayed in Kuta and even though it was only 20 km away, we sat in traffic for almost 2 hours!  Getting out of Pura Tanah Lot was a bit of a nightmare if you’re not prepared.

TRAVELIST TIP: I’d strongly suggest either having dinner at the restaurants there or grabbing a snack at the endless vendors! Also, squeeze in a bathroom break before you head out (just in case)!

There’s plenty to do at Tanah Lot temple in Bali, before and after sunset , so it makes sense to embrace all you can and leave after the first masses have headed out.

How to Avoid Crowds at Tanah Lot Sunset

1. arrive early.

Most people are arriving for sunset between 18:00 and 18:00, so it makes sense if you want to explore the temple grounds with minimal crowds, I’d recommend arriving at least an hour or 2 before sunset.

2. Find Alternative Places to Watch the Sunset

A great place to watch the sunset is at one of the hilltop restaurants. They have a number of Tanah lot sunset terraces. Depending on your photography needs, you may want to be closer to the ocean to do your photography, but if you’re there for the experience a hilltop restaurant is a great option to get some local cuisine with a view and enjoy the Tanah lot sunset with a sunset cocktail!

3. Head to a Nearby Spa First

As mentioned above, there are great spas in the immediate vicinity of Tanah Lot, so if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with the crowds that flock just before sunset, head to the spa to get your zen on and head back to catch the tail end of the sunset or vice versa!

4. Check out the Tanah Lot markets

As you walk through the main entrance, you can lose yourself in one of the numerous lanes lined with souvenir shops, clothing, shoes, food, etc.

There are some great places near Tanah Lot temple Bali. I highly recommend making the most of your time in the Tanah Lot area by checking out some activities below:

Spa Treatments

Being in Bali (actually anywhere in South East Asia) means there are going to be spas galore and Bali is no different! There are a number of spas in the area of Tanah Lot temple, so why not have a great massage or facial before heading to the shore’s edge to watch the Tanah Lot temple sunset and tide come in?

There were previously a lot more Tanah Lot day spas in the area before COVID-19, but now there is the option to do some wonderful spa treatments and Tanah Lot sunset tour:

Many of the Tanah Lot restaurants serve Western and local cuisine. It just seems fitting that if you’re at this magnificent site, why not embrace the culture and try a local dish?

It takes place every day at 18.30. Tickets can be bought at the information office near the beach or can be obtained directly at the Dewi Sinta. There’s also the option to buy them online or include them with your tour guide/company.

Best Time to Visit Tanah Lot Sunset Temple

I’d strongly recommend making sure you’re there for sunset. Tanah Lot sunset Bali hours are any time between 18:00 and 18:30. However, if you want to physically go down to the temple, you’ll need to visit anytime before during low tide.

In terms of when to visit Tanah Lot within the year, Indonesia is a tropical island, there are only two seasons, the wet season and the dry season. Visit during the dry season which is from May to November.

What to Wear to Tanah Lot

Dress etiquette at Tanah Lot is slightly different from other temples on the island of Bali, There are typically no restrictions because you are not physically entering the temple.

As you will most likely be there from late afternoon into the evening, you’ll most likely be in summer clothing, but keep a shawl on hand or a lightweight cover/ jacket for when the sea breeze chill hits in the late evening.

tanah lot sunset tour photos

Also, be careful if you’re on the rocks as the Tanah Lot tide comes in, you may need more secure shoes besides flip-flops as the rocks start to get extremely slippery.

tanah lot sunset tour photos

What I love about the Tanah Lot temple grounds is that there are plenty of vendors selling clothes, hats, shoes, dresses, etc. So if you want an outfit on the fly, you could literally buy it there!

Temple Etiquette

Even though you are not entering physically entering the temple, it’s only polite to be respectful as it is a temple by dressing appropriately: Wear a top that covers your stomach and appropriate length shorts

  • Drones are prohibited from all temples in Indonesia
  • Take photos from a respectful distance

If you are watching a ceremony

About Tanah Lot Temple

This is a bit of the Tanah Lot temple history sourced from tanahlot.id . The word Tanah Lot means ‘island in the sea’ in the Balinese language and the temple itself forms an important part of Balinese spiritualism and mythology.

Dating back to the 15th century, Bali Tanah Lot is said to be the work of revered Hindu priest Nirartha. According to legend, Dang Hyang Nirartha was a high priest who travelled from East Java to Bali in 1489 to spread Hinduism.

He arrived in the Tanah Lot area and established a site honouring the sea god Baruna. While attempting to share his teachings with villagers, he faced opposition from the chief, who gathered followers to drive off Nirartha.

The priest opposed and it is said he displaced a large rock on out to sea and transformed his sashes into sea snakes to guard it.

tanah lot sunset tour photos

Today, crevices at the base of the temple caused by long-term erosion do hold a number of sea snakes and they are still considered to be the temple’s defenders.

Almost a third of temple Tanah Lot’s rock base is artificial after being fully restored due to the threat of collapse from erosion.

Recommended Tanah Lot Temple Tours

There are a number of tour companies that offer private and group tour options. I highly recommend a Tanah Lot sunset tour . We managed to do a day tour whereby we visited many other temples during the day ending with the Tanah Lot temple sunset tour at the end of the day. The Tanah Lot sea temple sunset is truly the best way to end a temple-hopping day trip.

Tanah Lot Sunset Temple Frequently Asked Questions

Yes the other Sacred temples to explore at Tanah Lot are: Pakendungan Temple – located west, 300m from Tanah Lot Temple. Pakendungan temple is the spot where Dang Hyang Nirartha meditated where the holy kris was given to the village chief. Penyawang temple – West of Penataran is an alternative place to pray during the high tide when people can’t reach the Tanah Lot temple. Batu Bolong temple – 100m west of Enjung Galuh temple. Batu Bolong translates to hollow rock from Balinese. Sometimes this temple is often mistaken for being Tanah lot. Worshippers come to this temple for Melasti or a purifying ceremony. Batu Mejan temple –  100m west of the Batu Bolong temple. Beji means sacred spring in Balinese and the people believe that the holy water from this spring can purify anything.

Tanah Lot sunset time is between 18:00 to 18:30. Always check your sunset Tanah Lot times on the day you visit.

Yes! I’m a huge believer in supporting local economies and you will find plenty options for a Bali Tanah Lot tours that use local guides: VIATOR: 3 DAY BEST OF BALI TOUR ; GET YOUR GUIDE: BALI SACRED TEMPLES TOUR

A definitive yes! It’s definitely worth it. Whether you tour Tanah Lot at sunset or during the day, however I strongly recommend sunset, its something that is extremely unique and the colours of the Bali skies are truly surreal.

This will depend on where you heading from or to after visiting. The Tanah lot Ubud trip is 33 kms, the Tanah Lot Canggu travel distance is 11 km. Even though the distances may seem little, you cant actually rely on the Google maps travel time. Our trip from Tanah Lot took more than an hour. Tanah lot to Uluwatu is approximately 45 km away. I’d recommend adding 30 to 45 minutes to anything that you see on Google maps. Tanah Lot to Ubud will be an extremely long trip! As well as the trip from Tanah Lot to Uluwatu. If you’re looking to stay in Ubud, Tanah Lot is going to be a VERY long drive away or back from the temple. Think about staying a bit closer in the evening and maybe heading out to Ubud in the morning.

Pura Tanah Lot Bali Indonesia is located on the shoreline, however, there is no true accessible beach. I recommend heading to Kuta, Canggu, or Seminyak if you’re looking for a proper beach experience.   

No, Tanah Lot temple entrance fees are IDR 60 000 for a foreign adult. See Tanah Lot fees structure above. Visiting Tanah Lot Indonesia is a must when in Bali. There is no way to get in without paying the entrance fees although I do feel the Tanah Lot temple price is reasonable especially if you manage to spend more than an hour or two there.

Bali is also known as Island of the gods, hence there are plenty other temples to visit. Here are some of my top picks: Uluwatu temple, Besakih temple, Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, Pura Saraswati, Goa Gajah, Tirta Empul, Taman Ayun, Tirta Gangga and Goa Lawah. Check out my article on the other Must See temples in Bali

According to folklore, a Brahmin Prince and Princess came to visit Bali from Java. While enjoying a romantic Tanah Lot Bali sunset together, the royal couple got intimate. It was the princess’ first time and soon after their encounter, the prince left her and refused to marry her. In a fit of rage, the scorned princess cursed the island, dooming all unmarried couples who visit to break up after. Now is this real? I’ve yet to hear of this being legitimate and only read up on in in research to this article. If it was real, I think the overcrowding problem will be solved very quickly!

It is not necessary, but if you are using a tour company, they are usually private tours and most of the time the driver is also your tour guide. I don’t think its necessary to have a guide to experience Tanah Lot.

Tanah Lot is not open for sunrise. A Tanah Lot sunrise tour is unfortunately not possible, but this Bali sunset temple sure makes up for missing it at sunrise.

Low tide time is not certain in Tanah Lot Beach. It usually appears in the early morning and late afternoon.

Tanah Lot at Sunset: The Best Viewpoints + Crowdless Photos

Tanah Lot at Sunset: The Best Viewpoints + Crowdless Photos

Tanah Lot at sunset is almost otherworldly. In average lighting, the Hindu temple is already reminiscent of something out of a film set, built onto a large boulder and circled by swirling water and seaweed. The Tanah Lot sunset, however, adds a luminous orange glow and the excitement of the fast-approaching darkness.

The temple, which is completely submerged at high tide, is most popular at sunset. This isn’t only because of the coalescent colours and golden-hour lighting. The nearby clifftop also hosts a traditional Balinese dance called kecak daily at 6pm, which usually coincides with the end of the sunset.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that experiencing Tanah Lot at sunset is at the top of many people’s bucket lists. It isn’t exactly like some of the offbeat travel experiences that I cover on my blog, which include secret beaches in Bali such as  Bias Tugel Beach and Nunggalan Beach .

However, there are still ways to avoid the crowds during a Tanah Lot Temple sunset, just as long as you know where to find its peaceful vantage points. It’s not quite as difficult as you might think.

Why is Tanah Lot Temple famous?

Tanah Lot sunset photography spot from the rockbed on the right-hand side of the boulder.

Tanah Lot Temple is a Hindu temple on the west coast of Bali. It is one of seven sea temples in Bali, but it’s particularly popular for its scenery. ‘Tanah Lot’ roughly translates to ‘Land in the Sea’ in Balinese, which figures, because the temple is famous for the fact that the boulder is completely cut off at high tide.

Tanah Lot is actually the name of the rock that the temple was built upon. The temple itself is called Pura Tanah Lot, and it’s a sacred Balinese pilgrimage spot.

At high tide, the rock is completely enclosed by the ocean. At low tide, however, a dimpled rock bed appears alongside the boulder. At low tide, Tabanan Beach is also uncovered by the receding water; it’s a rocky, seaweed-covered stretch, backed by cliffs which are draped with tumbling green plants.

While the history of Tanah Lot Temple isn’t completely clear, it’s believed that the religious missionary Dang Hyang Nirartha happened upon the offshore boulder when he was travelling along Bali’s southwest coast. Ensnared by the surrounding scenery, he spent the night on the rock, surviving off gifts from local fishermen.

In the morning, he instructed the fisherman to erect a shrine in honour of the Balinese sea gods, including Dewa Baruna. Therefore, pilgrims come to the temple to worship the sea gods, as well as Nirartha himself.

Tanah Lot Temple has some interesting myths associated with it too. It’s believed that the temple is protected from spirits and pillagers by a giant sea snake.

Tanah Lot at Sunset: Where is Tanah Lot Temple?

Tanah Lot Temple is located on the southwest coast of Bali in a regency called Tabanan. The beach behind the temple is the southern end of Tabanan beach.

Another sea temple, Batu Bolong Temple, is only five to 10 minutes’ walk north of Tanah Lot Temple. As Batu Bolong Temple is covered by the entrance fee for Tanah Lot, it’s easy to combine Tanah Lot at sunset with a visit to Batu Bolong Temple.

While smaller, the temple is just as impressive, as it’s set on the other side of an arched rock, which juts out into the ocean.

Blonde woman gazes out over the beach and Batu Bolong Temple from the surrounding cliffs.

Popular places to stay near to Tanah Lot Temple include Canggu (20 minutes’ drive), Seminyak (40 minutes) and Kuta (50 minutes), and Ubud (an hour).

Tanah Lot at Sunset: Can you enter Tanah Lot Temple?

Tourists aren’t permitted to enter the main grounds of Tanah Lot Temple, as like many temples in Bali, it’s reserved for worshippers only.

It’s possible to walk part way up the stairs towards the entrance during low tide. However, it will be 20 seconds or so before you must begin your descent down again, as the path is gated.

To do this, you must pay to have a blessing with holy water in the cave on the underbelly of the temple, which is only accessible at low tide too. The holy water is believed to have the ability to heal the sick and infertile.

How to get to Tanah Lot Temple

Getting to Tanah Lot Temple isn’t tricky. The roads in Tabanan regency typically do not experience the same standstill traffic as those in Canggu and Seminyak.

Public transport is non-existent in Bali, so unless you are staying within walking distance of the temple in the southern part of Tabanan, you will need to travel to Tanah Lot Temple by scooter or car. This can be your own vehicle or a taxi. However, there will be a fee for parking at the temple if you drive yourself.

If you hail a taxi from the street or hire a private driver, expect it to be more expensive than a GoJek or a Grab. GoJek and Grab are Bali’s version of Uber. Both services offer rides on the back of a scooter or cars with a driver, and for a fraction of the price of a normal taxi.

You order the ride from their mobile app, which requires a WiFi or 4G connection. Then, just like with Uber, you can track your journey to Tanah Lot at sunset. A GoJek or Grab scooter ride will be the most budget-friendly way to get to the temple.

There are also tour groups that can also organise transport to and from the temple along with a tour guide.

Entrance fees for Tanah Lot at sunset

The entrance fee for Tanah Lot Temple is  60,000 IDR  for a foreign adult. This is equivalent to around  £3.50 or $4 .

A foreign child’s ticket costs  30,000 IDR , which is half of the adult ticket price.

Indonesian residents can visit the temple for  20,000 IDR .

Parking  fees at Tanah Lot Temple are  3,000 IDR for scooters .

It costs  5,000 to park a car  at Tanah Lot.

Parking for buses costs 10,000 IDR.

Day visit or Tanah Lot sunset: which is better?

Visiting Tanah Lot Temple during the day is great if you only want to get a feel for the temple’s scenery and take a walk over the cliffs to Batu Bolong Temple.

However, experiencing Tanah Lot at sunset has plenty of additional perks:

  • Golden-hour lighting in the hour or so prior to sunset is ideal for photography.
  • A kecak fire dance takes place daily at 6pm alongside Batu Bolong Temple, meaning that you can experience a traditional Balinese Hindu dance drama during your visit for an additional price.
  • You can use the day to explore other parts of Bali, such as Canggu, Uluwatu, or West Bali.
  • Tanah Lot at sunset adds romance and adventure, ideal for couples or dates.
  • The temple and the ocean take on a golden tinge at sunset; colours are more exaggerated.
  • There are clifftop restaurants and warungs around Tanah Lot Temple where you can get an atmospheric dinner.

Are tours of Tanah Lot at sunset worth it?

Tanah Lot Temple and Batu Bolong Temple are easy to navigate. There are no trails where you can get lost, and there are plenty of staff around to ask for directions if you do. Therefore, choosing to join a Tanah Lot Temple tour group isn’t a matter of needing navigation.

Instead, you might want to choose a temple sunset tour if you want a knowledgable guide who can divulge the local history and legends of the temple. They also provide the convenience of pick-up and drop-off from local accommodation. Many Tanah Lot sunset tours combine the experience with visits to other temples in south Bali. The main downside is that you may have time limit on how long you experience each spot at the temple.

The following Tanah Lot Temple tours are excellent options:

  • Bali Tanah Lot Temple Sunset Tour with Guide
  • Taman Ayun and Tanah Lot Temple Sunset Tour
  • Bali Sacred Temples and Sunset Tour

The best photography spots at Tanah Lot at sunset + how to avoid the crowds

At Tanah Lot Temple, a crowd naturally forms around the crown of the boulder at low tide. People typically descend down the steps and congregate right in front of the temple. They are also drawn to the rocks on the right-hand side of the temple, where the waves crash against the rock bed in a dramatic fashion.

Tanah Lot sunset crowds gather in the main rock bed in front of the temple.

At high tide, the crowd forms on the steps above the temple, or as far down on the rocks as possible with the water level.

Scramble over the rocks on the right-side of the temple

Tanah Lot Temple surrounded by sea water on the rocks.

In my opinion, the best crowd-free photography spot at Tanah Lot at sunset is from the rocks on the right-hand side of the temple. They are only accessible at  low to mid tide , so you need to time your visit accordingly.

While a fair few crowds gather on the rocks on the right-hand side of Tanah Lot, few people are willing to scramble to the rocks closest to the temple because when a high wave hits, it washes over the rock bed, wetting everyone’s feet and knees.

Once you make it to one of the higher rocks, however, you’re out of the splash zone. From there, there’s an excellent view of the temple without any crowds.

The water rushes over the rocks, meaning that you can get an action shot with the water running off the rock bed. If you position your camera right, you can also capture a picture with the reflection of the temple in puddles of water on the rocks.

Take pictures from the beach on the left-hand side of the temple

On the left-hand side of Tanah Lot Temple, the southern part of Tabanan beach is mostly crowd-free. Why? Again, no one wants to get their feet wet.

Rocky crevices are filled with seawater on Sunset Beach at the Tanah Lot sunset.

The beach is rocky and potholed, and the seaweed also carpets a large part of the beach. If you tread carefully, however, you can get a shot of Tanah Lot Temple with the sunset in the background, which isn’t possible from the other side.

Blonde woman stands on a rock on Sunset Beach at a Tanah Lot sunset.

The temple is further away in this shot, so don’t expect to get the finer details. However, this is the only crowd-free shot you can get with the sun in the frame.

Take photos of Tanah Lot at sunset from the clifftops

The Tanah Lot sunset view from a viewpoint along the clifftops.

Boardwalks stretch over the clifftop between Tanah Lot Temple and Batu Bolong Temple. From the entrance gate at Tanah Lot, when you are facing the temple, turn right and climb uphill.

A pathway leads the way uphill to Tanah Lot sunset viewpoints.

From this lookout, there’s a panoramic shot of the temple and the beach. A small waterfall is also visible. There will be crowds in your photo. However, at this distance, it’s impossible to get a shot of Tanah Lot at sunset without getting the throng in the frame. At least it’s far away.

Travel insurance is essential for any trip abroad. If you’re in an accident or experience an emergency, you need adequate cover. I recommend  Staysure  for single or multiple trips per year and SafetyWing for digital nomads.

The best Batu Bolong Temple sunset photography spots

Perched on the top of an arched rock at the end of a crescent bay, Batu Bolong Temple is just as impressive as its neighbour Tanah Lot. Bolong means ‘hollow’, which refers to the hollow arch in the rock.

The temple is dedicated to the God of holiness, so it hosts purification ceremonies like the Melasti Ceremony and the Pakelem Ceremony;

Batu Bolong Temple is only a five to 10-minute walk away from Tanah Lot Temple. The price to see the temple is included in your entrance ticket for Tanah Lot, although like Tanah Lot, you cannot enter the temple grounds.

Batu Bolong is particularly spectacular at sunset because the sun sets directly behind the temple, over the sea. At Tanah Lot, it’s tricky to get pictures of the temple and the sun in one frame. That’s not the case here. The boardwalk stretches across the full length of the crescent bay, so the only difficulty is getting a photo without the wooden railings getting in the shot.

Blonde girl leans against the railing over Batu Bolong beach at sunset.

The best photography spots for Batu Bolong are undoubtedly from the centre of the boardwalk, where it’s possible to get the full crescent bay in the frame. There are also some vantage points on the left-hand side of the boardwalk, which have a clear view of the temple and the rock arch, but not the whole bay.

Blonde woman gazes out over the beach and Batu Bolong Temple from the surrounding cliffs.

The best restaurants for Tanah Lot at sunset

Clifftop restaurants above Sunset Beach are well-positioned for the Tanah Lot sunset.

If you’re not willing to navigate the crowds at Tanah Lot, there are restaurants on the clifftops where you can watch the sunset without stepping foot on the beach.

Granted, the restaurants have a good view of the temple and their positioning also means that the sun sets behind the temple. However, there’s no way to eliminate the crowds from your shot. Because the cliffs face the temple, any photos will have to feature the large throng of people that gather at the front of the temple. That is, unless it’s high tide.  At high tide, you will get an excellent shot of the temple surrounded by the sea.

If you want to try watching the Tanah Lot sunset from the clifftop restaurants and bars, you need to turn left before you enter the main gates to descend to the temple. Most of the restaurants serve Indonesian food. You should aim to arrive early to get a seat by the edge of the clifftop.

What to do after experiencing Tanah Lot at sunset

Once mother nature’s daily light show has finished, you don’t necessarily need to retire back to your hostel, Airbnb, or hotel room. There are several ways you can extend your experience of Tanah Lot at sunset, or get stuck into the local area.

Watch a kecak fire dance

A circle of Balinese men chant chak at the Batu Bolong Temple in Bali.

Every evening at 6pm, weather permitting, a kecak fire dance takes place in an open-air arena opposite Batu Bolong Temple. Tickets for the kecak fire dance cost 100,000 IDR (around £5.75), and should be purchased with your entrance ticket at the office when you arrive at Tanah Lot.

Kecak is a Balinese Hindu dance drama in which a group of men wearing checked cloths chant ‘chak’. Simultaneously, costumed characters act out the Hindu story of Ramayana, in which Prince Rama battles against the evil King Ravana.

The art form, which originated in the 1930s, traditionally takes place in villages and temples. It stems from a trance ritual. However, it was adapted by a German musician named Walter Spies in the 1930s, who added story and dance to the ritual in the hope it would attract Western tourists.

Some sources also say that Balinese locals had already begun to add performance to the chant, but Spies was the one who catalysed this.

Performers at the Batu Bolong kecak performance in Bali kick fire around a circle.

Kecak is performed at temples such as Tanah Lot Temple and Uluwatu Temple, as well as other tourist destinations. This rendition of kecak isn’t the most theatrical that I’ve witnessed in Bali so far, so I’d recommend it.

Eat at a clifftop restaurant or warung

A clifftop restaurant alongside Batu Bolong Temple in west Bali.

Just opposite the kecak fire dance area, there’s a fairly fancy seafood restaurant called De Jukung Resto & Bar Tanah Lot. It’s located on the clifftop, so your dinner soundtrack is the lull of the waves crashing against the rocks below.

If the restaurant is within your budget, it’s likely to be worth it. Otherwise, head back to the warungs I listed in the previous section, where you’ll have a view of the temple. Admittedly, the temple will be dark by this time, but there are usually a few small lanterns keeping it alight.

Go clubbing in Canggu

Canggu is only a 20-minute drive from Tanah Lot Temple, and it has a mean reputation for good-quality clubs, restaurants and co-working spaces. So, one good option for a post-sunset activity is to make your way to Old Man’s, a go-to spot for expats, or the classier  La Brisa , a beachfront beach club with swimming pools and drinks like passionfruit Sangria and gin with campari, lime juice, Bali honey, and pineapple slices.

If you’re visiting the island of Nusa Penida near Bali, I’ve ranked all of the beaches to find the  best beach in Nusa Penida . While there, be sure to visit  Manta Bay Nusa Penida , where you can snorkel with manta rays.

While Tanah Lot Temple attracts large crowds, it is worth visiting at sunset. It’s one of only nine sea temples in Bali, and there are ways to avoid the crowds.

The god worshipped at Tanah Lot Temple is the sea god, Dewa Baruna or Bhatara Segara. Nirartha, the missionary who demanded the temple be erected, is also worshipped at Tanah Lot Temple.

The best time to visit Tanah Lot Temple is at sunset because the colours are more vibrant and golden-hour lighting is optimal for photography. A kecak fire dance, a Hindu-Balinese dance drama, also takes place opposite Batu Bolong Temple at 6pm, weather permitting

Tanah Lot Sunset: The Floating Temple Of Bali

Tanah Lot Bali is a popular spot to see the sunset in Indonesia, and the Tanah Lot temple is also one of the most iconic sights in the whole country.

It’s a mysterious looking ancient shrine on a rock near the coast of Bali, and at high tide the temple has the dramatic appearance of floating on the sea.

This travel guide will hopefully give you some ideas about what to do in Tanah Lot Bali, how to get there, current entrance fees, and everything else you need to know before you go!

Facts & History – Tanah Lot Temple

The Tanah Lot temple (also known by its Indonesian name ‘Pura Tanah Lot’ ) dates back to the 16th century, when it was supposedly built by Dang Hyang Nirartha, the founder of the Shaivite priesthood in Bali.

As the story goes, Nirartha was traveling along the south coast of Bali and spent a night on this picturesque rock in the sea. He was convinced it was a holy place for worshipping the Balinese sea gods, and had some local fishermen build a shrine on the rock.

Thus the iconic Tanah Lot was born. The name roughly translates to ‘Land in the Sea,’ and it’s one of seven sea temples built along the coast of Bali. There are many myths and legends associated with Pura Tanah Lot, and the Hindus still consider it an important pilgrimage temple.

Today, it’s one of the most famous temples in Bali , and on a busy day it’s visited by more than 5,000 tourists per day.

What To Do In Tanah Lot Bali

The main reason to visit Tanah Lot Bali is to see the ancient temples and watch the sunset.

It can get very crowded, though, and it’s turning into a bit of a tourist trap, with market-style souvenir shops lining the whole entrance to the beach.  

• Tanah Lot Temple

The best views of Tanah Lot temple are from the cliff terrace near the temple, where you can see the island from above and watch the waves crashing on it.

The beach at Tanah Lot has black volcanic sand, and the whole setting is mystical. The temple really does look like it’s floating on the sea.

When the tide is low, you can walk out to the rock and get a closer look at the wooden temple buildings, which are just 30 meters from the shore.

• Holy Snake

Venomous sea snakes are believed to guard Tanah Lot Temple from evil spirits and intruders, and on the shore there’s a cave with a ‘holy snake’ that you can pay a small fee to see.

It’s a black and white ringed sea snake (apparently a Banded Sea Krait). These snakes are highly venomous, but they’re not aggressive and rarely bite humans.

• Batu Bolong Temple

Batu Bolong is another unique looking sea temple just a short walk from Tanah Lot, and it sits on a rock arch overlooking the ocean. It’s included as part of the Tanah Lot entrance ticket.

There’s a steep concrete stairway down to the beach, where you can get close up views of the arch, but sometimes they don’t allow access because of the waves.

‘Batu Bolong’ means ‘hollow stone’ in the Indonesian language.

• Tanah Lot Sunset

The sunset at Tanah Lot is pretty legendary in Bali, and a good way to enjoy it is with a Tanah Lot sunset dinner or some drinks.

There are a bunch of simple restaurants and warungs on the cliff terrace near the temple. Don’t expect a five star dinner at Tanah Lot, but it’s a great place to sip a cold Bintang or some fresh fruit juice while enjoying the sunset.

The other popular spot for sunset pics is on the black sand beach directly by Tanah Lot temple, but it depends on how high the waves are, so you may want to check tide conditions first.

The rock arch at Batu Bolong Temple can also be a good spot for sunset pictures, especially if you go down to the beach below.

Hours & Entrance Fee

  • Hours: 7 AM – 7 PM
  • Entrance Fee (Adults): 75k IDR ($5 USD)
  • Entrance Fee (Kids): 40k IDR (~$3)

These are the current Tanah Lot entrance fees for 2024, but it’s a very popular tourist attraction so the ticket prices seem to go up every year.

You can pay the entrance fee with cash or credit card, but the card reader machines don’t always work, so it’s best to plan on paying the fee with cash.  

How To Get There

Tanah Lot temple is located on the southwest coast of Bali, Indonesia.

It’s a 20 minute drive from Canggu, or around 1 hour if you’re coming from other tourist areas like Ubud, Kuta, and Sanur.

The best way to get there is to rent a scooter or hire a private car and driver (both of these can be booked online).

More Things To Do Near Tanah Lot

Since Tanah Lot is on the coast of Bali, there are several other good beaches nearby.

Two nice ones nearby are Echo Beach and Pasut Beach, which are both west-facing black sand beaches that are good at sunset.

Another interesting temple to see near Tanah Lot is the Taman Ayun temple , which is only about 30 minutes away by driving.

These are just a few ideas for what to do in Tanah Lot Bali and the surrounding area. Enjoy!

Bali Private Driver & Motorbike Rental

If you want to explore Bali in the comfort and safety of a private car with an English speaking driver, my top recommendation would be GetYourGuide .

Their price is 650k Rupiah ($45 USD) for a full day of driving and sightseeing in Bali (up to 10 hours) for 1-5 passengers. That's the total price for the whole car + driver + petrol! It's a great deal. They also offer affordable hotel transfers from the airport.

If you'd rather travel by motorbike, they have that too. Their scooter rentals start at 140k Rupiah (~$9) and include a helmet, rain coat, and free delivery in the south Bali area.

We've used GetYourGuide for lots of tours and activities around the world, and they're great! Highly recommended.
