(1) It's one of the holiest temples in Bali for the Balinese Hindu. It's located on a cliff. Only the ones going for prayers can cross the sea in low tide to access the temple.\nThis place is also famous for its sunset.
(2) We found the temple to be serenely beautiful and peaceful. The adjacent markets were very interesting. Unfortunately the experience was completely spoilt by the visit to the Snake Park where the animals there were kept in atrocious conditions. Dirty tiny cages in which they could not move and lying in filth. Sick owls tethered to dead tree stumps.
(3) Went here as a part of our Bedugul Temple. Just right after the Handara Gate.. \nIt was Saturday when we visited and the amount if people  visiting the temple is alot. \nThe weather is gloomy and  good time to take photos but we didnt had a chance to take a photo with out crowd haha.  But we are glad that we had a chance to visit this temple.\nEntrance fee is 50k idr each. \nNice garden, with lots of flowers and theres a playground for kids. \nThey also have restrooms and restaurant and its buffet :) \n\nNice to chill and visit when no much crowd.
(4) we were there in the evening and got some excellent sunset view photos..sacred temple for the locals...
(5) It is a must visit place if you love nature. The temple is at hilly altitude so the temperature was very low here in the evening. The huge lake adds to the beauty of the temple. There are also strawberry farms on the way which you can explore. Our kid was very happy seeing the strawberries and plucking a few.
(6) Not much to see or do here. Unfortunately for us, we got there at high tide so we didnt even manage to walk to the temple.\n\nWe took pics from a distance. There are also people that take pictures for you. You can purchase them for 20000 IDR. The pictures come with a frame.
(7) This temple is located uphill and the weather is very cooling.  The scenery is so beautiful and a good place for photographs.  It would be advisable to go with a good driver cum guide.  This temple is far from city center.  It is a must go when you visit Bali.
(8) this area is quite relaxing.  Lots of areas to relax and enjoy the scene.  The temple is not as impressive as I had thought after looking at so many online brochures and instagram. It's good to check it out though.  One check marked off the Bali must do list.  BTW, There are small eateries in the area if you're hungry.
(9) The temple site was 30 min drive from our resort . We timed the trip to con inside with the sun set . Fantastic views , but be careful of the Monkeys!
(10) During our visit, the water in on low tide mode. We were able to took our photos just below the temple. Furthermore, the view was so good and perfect!
(11) The views are spectacular and the coast line is very dramatic. You need to ensure that you go during low tide otherwise you can only view from a viewing point. We walked down to the temple during low tide. On the right was a cave which has a sign of \Holly Snake\". We were told that people can give donations and have the snake wrapped around there arm and they pray and make a wish. Just below the temple is another area which they call \"Holly Water\". One makes a donation (2000 was suggested). Then you are to take two sips of the water, wash your forehead and face and you will receive from the person manning the area a flower of rice on your forehead.   There are opportunities to show and road side stands by the parking area."
(12) There was a ceremony in progress the day we went so we tried our best not to intrude and just observe from a distance.  It was a beautiful.
(13) We visited in the late morning during low tide so could access the temple up close. However, the trees that have grown obscured the view of the temple so it kinda lost its appeal. I last visited maybe 15 years ago and remembered that it was prettier then.
(14) A bygone era cradled by the ocean. you can sit nearby and just watch and experience the serenity as the ocean clash against the temple. On a good day when the sea has receded you can walk up to one of the temples. If interested in cultural beauty and architecture a must visit.
(15) The long travel to the northern lake is worth it. Beside the amazing temple, there is the park which is very clean with lots of flowers. We reccomend to visit it as early in the morning as possible since there are less tourists and the street has less traffic.
(16) This place is overwhelmed by tourist souvenir shops and restaurants in 95% of the area \nnearby the temple on the rock. Beautiful and interesting temple there is also another smaller one. Not possible to viisit it is in the water. may be we were there on a wrong moment but we feel that it is a bit \ an overreacting wow effect\" but again may be the time was wrong. We visited 35 years ago and have a better memory from those days.Understand of course that people like to visit this Bali \"icon\""
(17) This place was amazing.  Such natural beauty - shame its been commercialised by wedding venues now. But still enjoy the views and sacred temple.
(18) This temple is superb! It can be quite busy at times with many tourists constantly trying to get the best photo! You will not be disappointed!
(19) This was evening well spent. We were contemplating whether to visit or not as it was far from our hotel. However, we decided to visit and we were thrilled to be there. The temple is located right at the tip of the mountain overlooking the see. The view from the top is mesmerising and cool breeze in the evening makes you feel so good. Another thing that we learned in Bali is that one cannot enter the seven main temples. Only the priest are allowed to enter and offer prayers. Best time to visit is during sunset to enjoy the view.
(20) The temples that line this coastline are beautiful. Not sure how many in total are here. We visited 3 of them. But I believe that there are a few more. The most interesting one is the temple set all by itself on a large rock. They have a sacred water purification ceremony and the foot of the temple. A must see see location if you visit the island of Bali.
(21) Unfortunately the water level of Lake Beratan was right down when we visited so we didn't get to see the temples \floating\". Even so, this is a very beautiful area and is well kept with beautiful gardens. The location of the temple at a lake surrounded by misty mountains makes it a serene and peaceful place to visit. There are many great photo opportunities here as it is very scenic. You can take a boat ride around the lake or do some shopping as well. It can be very crowded I believe, but this was not the case on the day we visited."
(22) I got confused why we visited this temple as we have many amazing sunset places in india as well. We could not enter in the temple as it is only for local people.
(23) Beautiful Temple and good place to visit and see  . Located in Beratan lake . actually all the area beautiful the tumble , lake and the mountain
(24) You can take very nice pictures at this temple. \nThe lake with a fishermen as background for the pagoda's . The local pilgrims, many small ornamental details.
(25) It's a traffic jam to get there.. But it's worth it, be patient and if you love a good sunset it's an excellent spot to see one! Most people seem to be around the temple with lots of others around them at sunset. I walked a little past the temple at a bar that had only about20 people at it, so we all had a Uncrowded front row view of the sun setting over the temple.. To me, this was better than being in the masses crowded around the temple. All those people blended into the silhouette created but the sun. Just beautiful watching the waves roll in from the cliff too.
(26) It will cost US$6.00 ( IDR60 000) per person to get to see the temple but so worth it especially if you are a 1st time visitor. There is a long walk in the heat, BUT this is Bali so enjoy the view en route. The large market has a great sellection of goods at reasonable prices compared to some other areas. This is NOT a temple that you can enter but it really is worth the trip.
(27) Beautiful place and the temple is just inside the lake. And the mountain and lake view so mesmerizing. U will take ur breath away. U can eat in nearby restaurant with the view of Lake and mountain although I don't like the food(we v booked a taxi for 10hr for USD 55). U won't find local \nTaxi here
(28) It is truly awesome - unbelievably gorgeous, right on the Indian Ocean, and built into the rock! You must, must, must go see this temple. Take advantage and eat there - to see a beautiful sunset.
(29) This temple is absolutly beautiful at Sunrise. We managed to get a boat and we paddled until the temple and saw the Sunrise. A misty came through, it was gorgeour. \nWe had the chance to see part of a ceremony which happened at a alowed place for tourists.\nHighly recommend to go in the morning, because it get really crowded.\nStop for lunch at the city Market after.
(30) Lovely view of the ocean, cliff, sunset, nice place in the morning and evening also. There is a small temple on a hill, and you should cross the ocean to get a holy spring water ( for Hindus ) but everyone can do it as it is a part of their tradition.
(31) This place is very spiritual and beautiful.\nThere a quite a few steps at the start, and then you walk up a massive hill to get to the start of the 1700 steps.  Take lots of water and have some comfy shoes on.\nWe happened to be there on the day of a local ceremony so it seemed to enhance the spirituality of the place.\nYou do pay a donation to go into the temple and if you don't have a sarong, these are available to hire aas well
(32) Bild with whie stone with beautifull view of Indian Ocean. Few mean monkeys so beware of your glasses, water bottles ect. You will get a loan of sarong if you need. Stock up with watter as there is no hawkers inside.
(33) Came here as part of a full day tour with Voyagin & this was the last stop. \n\nUnfortunately a pretty sunset was non-existent due to heavy cloud cover. We still enjoyed seeing the temple's rock formation sticking out of the water. There were a handful of tourists around but apparently it was busier in August & September. \n\nThere were cool market stalls on the streets leading up to the cliff face where you can see the temple from. On the other side is a rock formation which has a hole in it. I think our tour guide said that was another temple. \n\nWorth seeing once in your life if you're in Bali.
(34) Wow, what mesmerizing view, on bank of Lake wonderful Temple, enjoyed every moment being there on hill top really very nice temple
(35) so nice scenic view and also instagramable. It is one of iconic spot for tahing picture for the temple also printed in Rp 50000 money. Good arrangement place and when I was there also they held a mlasti ceremony so i said wow i could see directly.
(36) The temple is located on a hill. The view from the top is really amazing. Maybe only access to the temple is quite tiring, past several stairs. The ticket fee price is only idr 10k. A very worthy temple to visit.
(37) Though this is a very touristy spot, it does not take away the overall beauty of this place. This is one of a kind temple! Unlike other conventional temple, this is actually a temple on the water! Advice going during low-tide (that's when you can walk across to the temple on water)!
(38) This is place can't miss in Bali. You can enjoy the amazing view of Indian ocean and also the historical temple. It was so relax when visiting this place.
(39) We arrived 3PM till sunset time. We sat on of the restaurant for the sunset view over the temple. It was amazing
(40) We were so excited to visit , paid our $6.00 and walked and walked in the heat . The views of the beach and the back of the temple ? Were great . But we couldn’t enter such a shame and a waste of time
(41) Too much traffic to get there, too many people. Could not even go inside the temple as it perches on a rock off the coast. On top of it trees cover most of the view. Considering the time to reach there and things you can really do, I don't recommend.
(42) We came here in the afternoon about 5pm and stayed for the sunset. Just spectacular! The temple is lovely, you can walk from one side of the cliff to the other. You have to pay to get into the temple and you have to wear a sarong to cover up your legs. There are monkeys arounds, so just be careful, stay clear and you will be fine. The view from the cliffs are just amazing. There is a show you can also go see if you pay. Try and walk along the cliff face all the way. There are some shops outside to buy refreshments as it is pretty hot.
(43) Good time to go is around 4 or 5 in the evening as later you may just miss the sunset as its a long walk from the car park to the temple. Also the tide is low so you can walk and go to the temple.  However when we went the steps to go up was closed, not sure why. there is a fresh water spring under the temple and you can go a sip water from it and take some blessings from the priest in the form of flowers, they ask for donations/ but thats not compulsory, so don't fall for it. around there are path ways to walk and sit and click snaps and shops if you want to do some small time shopping
(44) Make sure to get there way before sunset time as we did not and we almost missed the sunset. It is a long walk from the car park to the actual temple so you need to allow time to get there. Moreover in our case we were also not lucky with the weather as it was clouded so the sunset too was short and quick.
(45) get there after tide hours to enjoy the entire parts of the temple. sunset view is the worthwhile waiting as it promises a not to miss agenda during the visit.
(46) My favorite temple in all of Bali!  The water adds much but the grounds with so many flowers are very different than other temples, so beautiful!
(47) This place as raved and recommended by many tourists is a must visit attraction.The sunset view here is very beautiful and the temple offers a lot of history of the attraction behind with a comprehensive story to let tourists have a better understanding of the place.\n\nThis place is very popular with couples and on our visit we managed to see a couple heading there for their wedding shoots.Amazing place with an even better view!
(48) Really nice little island temple surrounded by water at high tide..at low tide you are able to walk across to the temple to climb the little steps inside, lots of great view of the ocean, it can get busy and quite hot so get there early...
(49) the view is breathtaking... Will need to wear special sarong if you want to get into the temple, you can rent a sarong that provide at the temple gate.
(50) Breathtakingly both beautiful and spiritual. Worth the trip. Go before sunset and watch the sun set behind the temple. At low tide walk across to the temple and be blessed by the priests. Just amazing
(51) A beautiful place to visit! Yes there were lots of tourists, it was busy, but it did not detract from the good, calm energy of this place. We spend a couple of hours here and it was just lovely. \n\nThe market however that they make you walk through as you get out, is not nice at all, and the only place in Bali were they were aggressive, even grabbed my wrist as I walked through, asking me to buy their items.  Such a contrast to the peacefulness of the temple
(52) The place is so calm and lovely that one will love going there. To go to the temple where they give the holy water, one needs to walk through water from one side to another. The waves may wet you so one does need to carry a change if possible. The best time would be during sunset. \nThe day I went it started to rain so I missed the sunset but despite of that I enjoyed a lot.
(53) Very interesting place to visit and spend some time to walk to both sides of the temple area to enjoy the views. We hired a car to bring us there and expect traffic jams all the way there and back.
(54) Mystical experience where nature meets the spirit. Truly reverend. Go early in the morning before the crowds to get a sense of the Balinese spirituality.
(55) Have been to this temple twice in my life. Once back in 1985 when the arch was still there but since then it has collapsed. Beautiful views at sunset. Loads of sellers at this place though. At lease they dont hassle you too much. Be prepared to pay to go to the toilet. Please go there at sunset at least once in your life.
(56) It's most visited temple in Bali.Located on the cliff almost hanging in the air facing Indian Ocean, it's paradise for photographers and attract huge crowds in the evening. The temple is very sacred for Balinese people and associated with Majapahit Priest Nirartha. It's as part of chain on sea coast reflecting esoteric connectedness of existence. It's enchanting to observe waves moving along the cliff forming beautiful patterns and also raising to the sky. There is admission ticket and it's better to reach the place few hours before Sunset so that we can leisurely wander around before crowds gather in bus loads.Non Balinese are not allowed inside the temple as a custom but we can walk upto to entrance and walk on the periphery. Not to be missed.
(57) Nice views from the cliff but you pay 30k per person and you cannot go to the temple, only cliff and surroundings
(58) The sun, The sea, The cliffs & The temples. Nature at its best! Very scenic!! We were able to witness the locals travelling to the temple with their offerings and prayer rituals. What a sight! An experience worth this trip!
(59) The temple I was told was built in the twelfth century. It is spectacular. Watching the waves crash around it, just breath taking. \n\nWe met the big fella in the photos for fifteen dollars Australian which included a proper photo taken in a frame. He was very special.
(60) This place is a must visit in Bali, its a temple with stunning views. the ground and market around the place is great to spend some time and click some beautiful pictures.
