(1) My last visit was on 25Dec 2015, it was crowded with tourist, domestic and foreigners.\nI have to say tanah lot always give me a thrill eventhough this isnt the first visit.\n\nit has the most beautiful sunset in Bali, with the sound of the wave splashing, the wind, the ambience and everthing else, not to mention the location is not far away from Seminyak or Canggu, only 30 minutes drive by car, and the location is also convenient for bikers.
(2) I recently took a hour and a half trip to see Tanah lot temple. I was most disappointed by what I saw when I got there. It is very \touristy\" and not as beautiful as the pictures (not to offend anyone). I just didn't think it was that amazing. After visiting a few temples on my trip to Asia this was my least favourite.  If you are Hindu or staying by the temple I would say yes go and see it. However if you are not then it is not really worth it. The tide was out when I went so we could walk round it but not go inside which I found disappointing but then again there was a lot of people. However it was just rocks and rock pools which can be seen in many many countries. When the ride is in the temple will look a lot better but you can only really take a picture from the view point. And that is it.  \n\n The entry fee is also quite high more than double the monkey forest where I had more than double the good experience  \n\nI did get to touch the \"holy snake\" which was probably the highlight of my trip and that is saying something (again I would never mean to offend anybody).\n\nAll in all I would say give this a miss."
(3) This is my second time in bali and i have balinese friend how guide me when i am in bali. She recommend  me to visit tanah lot temple. This place just wonderful, i am lucky because i had visit when the sunset time. Very recommends to visit here!!
(4) Best to come 1 hour or more before sunset, so you get to explore the little market stalls that are much much cheaper than Kuta, Legian or Seminyak stalls, and haggling is pretty easy because they already start pretty cheap (for example, got a hello kitty sarong for 60,000 rupiah after starting at 80k (in K,L or S it starts at 250,000 which is beyond any reasonable haggling). However, selection is more limited to Bali branded clothes and no fake nikes etc. Entry fee was negligible at 50k rupiah or maybe less, I didn't care cos it was cheap. People with large docile snakes along the side walks for 50k for heaps of photos. Then you reach the beautiful grounds of Tanah Lot where you can watch some surfers and the landscape. Down at Tanah Lot Temple there are heaps of people around, and you gotta line up for a short 5 min wait to touch the water coming out of a bamboo pipe that is apparently holy or something. The view is spectacular if it's a clear or hazy horizon (see photos), and definitely worth visiting. Pram access is a no go so you have to carry your child, but you can leave your pram at 2nd entrance near the water. About an hour from Seminyak, or 30 mins if no traffic.
(5) It’s a beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. The sunset was great. It reminds one of the majesty of nature regardless of the human race’s (in)significance. \n\nWe had not originally planned to go but decided on a whim to do so when we were on a grab car. Upon arrival, the driver asked if we’d like for him to wait for us as Tanah Lot does not allow tourists to take a grab car out of the place. We have not heard of this rule before and didn’t know how long we’d take so we said no.\n\nWhen we were ready to leave at around 7pm, we tried booking a grab car to no avail. There were a few local drivers offering their service to send us out but we refused. Everyone else seemed to have arranged transport! 😱\n\nOut of desperation, we called a Friend in Bali for help. He told us that the rule was true. It would be dangerous for him to pick us up from Tanah Lot and we had to walk about 1km out before he met us. He shared if we were to take a local transport from Tanah Lot to Seminyak, it could easily cost us 500k. That’s insane!! The grab app only quoted 81k for the same route!\n\nOther than this slight hiccup, we have no regrets visiting Tanah Lot. It was simple, beautiful and elegant. \n\nOther important information to note... It costs about 60k per pax to enter and 5k to park a car if you’d like your driver to wait!
(6) Tanah Lot is unique; it’s located within the ocean which is awesome! We visited around 6PM whilst the sun was beginning to set. Before going down to the ocean and temple we wandered around the many market stalls and found ourselves some lovely souvenirs. \n\nUpon arriving at the temple it was very busy and crowded, the tide had come right in and the waves were crashing down hard on the rocks. It was difficult to manoeuvre around at the bottom of the cliffs due to the amount of people however we managed, its important to be slow and steady, don’t put yourself at risk. The temple is beautiful to observe at a distance, we found the view better above the cliffs whilst sat in a restaurant with a bintang! We sat and watched the sun gradually set whilst the waves crashed against the temple which was beautiful. I would strongly recommend visiting.
(7) I have travelled to Bali regularly over many years beginning in 1979. Yes it has changed considerably. Surprisingly, one place I had not visited was Tanah Lot Temple. When my wife and I arranged a day trip for sightseeing, we included the temple in our plans. My wife wanted to enjoy the sunset there, but I balked as the advice suggested it adds several hours to the trip at that time of day.\nInstead, we visited in the morning which proved a wise move. The temple was very busy as was all of Bali in the days just before Nyopi (New Years).\nI have seen numerous photos of Tanah Lot, but nothing compares to the real thing. It is no longer possible to walk (or be carried) across to the island, so one has to be satisfied by looking from a short distance. It is certainly an iconic image of Bali and well worth seeing. \nLater that day, we visitied another comparable icon -- Lake Bratan in Bedugul with its beautiful lakeside setting of three pagodas. Also well worth the visit.
(8) Beautiful temple, place and waves. If u go to Bali first place to visit Tanah Lot. U can enjoy the atmosphere, traditional balenese and the great view.
(9) Though is hot but also worth for the waiting. Similar view with Tanah Lot , just the building makes the differents.
(10) It is TANAH LOT. It is iconic; you have not been to Bali if you missed this place. I went there when the tide is low. The iconic view of temple in the middle of the ocean is not there. But the upside is you can walk there and see holy spring and holy snake. Quite interesting.
(11) Nusa Dua to Tanah Lot turned out to be a long & tiring ride. Just about managed to catch the sunset!\nBeautiful scenes, a must visit temple while in Bali
(12) Went to Tanah Lot Temple mid morning and with a lower tide. The views are amazing. Walked out across the rocks. Good to get some culture in Bali. Stayed for an hour. Got a taxi out there from Legian cost 140k IDR each way plus a bit to wait. Travel time one hour each way. \nWorth the trip!!
(13) The Tanah Lot Temple in Bali is perhaps the most photographed and advertised temple in all tourist brochures. The temple is located on a rock outcrop which is accessible only during low tides. Closer to sunset the views are very good and it offers stunning backdrops for photographs. Overall a must visit temple in Bali.
(14) The Tanah Lot Temple is a Hindu temple built atop a rock outcropping and surrounded by water when the tide is all the way in.  It's a beautiful place to see the sun set over the Indian Ocean.\n\nTo climb to the top of the rock and see the temple close up you first have to wait in a small lineup, perhaps a couple of minutes, to receive a blessing before you are allowed to go on the rock.  Your forehead is marked to identify that you have been blessed.\nThe surrounding area is very busy with tourists all waiting for the sun set.  If you arrive early you can take some time to shop in the many market stall before you walk down to the water front.\nWe left just before the sun made its' final dip below the horizon to beat the traffic. Otherwise be prepared for the hectic and long wait to get out of the area.
(15) Visited Tanah Lot temple in the evening. It was quite crowded even if it was the low season. Tides were high, so we couldn't  get down to the beach. Expected to get some nice photos but, the place were not really clean as we see in the photos. It was fun watching life gurnards surfing with the tides in Indian Ocean. A place to chill watching the sunset.
(16) Tanah Lot is a temple beside the sea.  It is picturesque but the place is over developed and is full of shops, car parks, tourists etc.  There are better temples to see.  These temples can only be seen from afar as they are off limits to tourists (too dangerous?).  There's a cliff top path and you can get onto the beach ... but it's crawling with tourists so we left quickly.   Many come to see the sunset here and I am sure this is nice but the crowds devalue the experience.
(17) The Tanah Lot temple is a not to be missed spot. This Rock temple by the sea offers the typical picture postcard opportunity. One can get a local flavor as a large number of nearby villagers also visit the temple. Walk around a bit for some excellent views.
(18) Tanah Lot temple is considered as one of the most important sights in Bali. However it is extremely crowded and well commercialized. We went there to observe the sunset, but doing so with thousands of other tourists with hundreds of persons trying to sell you everything on earth took all the magic away.
(19) Having visited Tanah Lot on two separate occasions with a couple of years in between, I just say that the temple aspect is a beautiful opportunity for stunning photos. However the walk there seems to be getting a tad more aggressive over the years.  Shops line the walk to the temple and some sellers diminish the whole experience. \nIf you can see past the commercialisation that has taken hold, enjoy the views and temple for what they are - an unique cultural experience.
(20) Tanah Lot was on my absolute must do list. It's a wee bit daunting when you see all the market vendors you have to pass to get to the temple, but they are actually very chill and don't hassle you.\nOf course there were many tourists, but it's still worth the effort to be able to say you were there. Glad we went.
(21) Like all 'Temples' in Bali, you cannot actually enter the areas where any worshipping takes place. It's only possible to go up to a closed off gate and take a general overview of the area. This place is no exception. Once you've negotiated the masses of hawkers and general market stalls the view over the ocean is great. Tanah Lot itself is built on a small outcrop which is surrounded by water at high tide and even at low tide is only accessible via a small stairway up to the usual locked gate. I was generally disappointed with all the temples in Bali although the grounds on which they are located are well kept and provide an opportunity to have a pleasant walk with, in this case, great views. Don't expect to be wowed!
(22) Pura tanah lot have great located for to see sunset.when you coming there on fullmoon or new moon.you can fine many hindu people will be coming for all day for praying in that temple.when you are have plan for visiting this temple you must be there at 5.30 pm.because the sunset will be coming at 6 pm.soo dont porget bring camera.because only in this temple you can find best sunset in Bali island.
(23) Went with my cousins on this trip. Tanah Lot temple has an amazing view!! Advisable to wear non-slippery sandals to walk on the rocks by the temple. Basically you can only view the temple from a certain distance. I suppose there is a special tour if you want but you have to double check on that with your agent. We didn’t know about it. We got wet because of the strong waves hitting on the rocks by the temple but it was a fun experience. There is a cafe, small stalls around (desserts mostly) not much but bring your gopro/canon cameras guys, the view is just 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.
(24) We reached Tanah Lot Temple around 5.30pm. Our local tour guide cum driver Adipa was a great photographer also. Helping us took many photos and teaching us how to post. Awesome place to take photos just before sunset. Sunset at 6.15pm.
(25) We chose to go to Tanah Lot because of its high reviews and recommendations. But there was nothing particularly special about the experience. Its' location is a bit awkward, so a taxi is needed to get there (and no taxi rank to get one back), and entrance fees to get in aren't worth it for a temple you can't even see because it's covered in trees and gates prevent you from going up to it. There's not even any good photo opportunities, but even if there were, it's far too busy to get a good photo without loads of tourists in. There were LOADS of shops around Tanah Lot, but they all sold mass produced touristy stuff that was tacky and dull. If you want a very touristy trip that doesn't have much to do, then it's perfect, but if you want to see something cool or buy some Balinese items that aren't mass produced, you might as well not bother going here
(26) We chose to visit Tanah Lot, the ancient Hindu temple dedicated to the gods of the sea, in the morning instead of sunset when it is a popular photo spot.  It was beautiful with not as many crowds and very peaceful with the floral offerings. The scenery is gorgeous.  In the far distance, you can see the construction of Donald Trump's Indonesian resort
(27) Tanah lot is about an hour and a half from Nusa Dua and traffic there wasn't great as the roads were small and narrow.  Arriving there made the trip worth while.  Seeing the temple on the sea was very special and if you can wait until sunset, it would even be more magical.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the full sun's glory as it unusually cloudy (so we were told) but we were able to experience the atmosphere.  The only sad thing was that there were vendors everywhere trying to sell you souvenirs, postcards and photo shoots, which I found quite annoying at times but as long as you are prepared to say no, they were OK.
(28) This temple is beautiful. When the tide is out you can actually walk to the temple but it's not safe when the tide is in. There are many photographers there but I didn't use them. On a hot day make sure to bring an umbrella or fan because there aren't many trees to sit under for reprieve from the sun. Depending on where you entered from, there are many restaurants and shops to stop by before or after you see Tanah Lot. You can also buy little toys on site.
(29) If you want to go see a bit of Bali culture, Tanah Lot is a must do. We went at sunset and the scenery was really beautiful! If you want to take it easy its a nice activity to break up the day and I would recommend a visit for sure!!
(30) Tanah lot has been a difficult one for me to digest as I was looking forward to it so much and it ended up disappointing me big time. How that happened? After having been in Bali for two weeks I was fed up with all the paying for nature, as a backpacker on a tiny budget nature is the last thing you want to be paying for, but that aside I did expect having to pay for entering the temple. However what I didn't expect was to pay an entrance fee to the city, which won't even buy you entrance to the temple! To pile on the agony it was insanely crowded, masking the beautiful views by a sea of people. The only thing that saved my day was the little low tide walk I made, carrying me away from the crowd. Although I am pretty sure that if I were to do it all again I would go around high tide hoping the water would bar the people from disturbing the views.
(31) Had a great time at Tanah Lot\nIf you can visit around 1 hour before dusk, as the sunset there is breathtaking.\nWe stayed at the Nirwana Resort so we could simply walk across there.\nIt's definitely worth the time to travel there.\nThere is also some shops there too.\nMy kids actually saw the famous \Temple Snake\" in the cave behind the temple.  In the right spot at the right time!\nSean"
(32) The view of the temple in the middle of the sea with constantly crashing waves against its walls is definitely a sight to behold. The offshore setting and the sunset backdrops makes Tanah Lot a must visit site in Bali. Only Balinese people are allowed in the main temple. However, you can cross the waves on a low tide day to visit the rock base of the temple and take a sip of the holy water from the natural fresh water fountain. The guardian snakes are believed to reside in the crevices around the fountain. If you are a nature lover like me, this place is a must visit.\n Make sure you visit during the evening when it is almost the sunset time. The afternoon can get really hot here. There is no dress code to visit the place and enjoy the sunset, however, a sarong needs to be worn before entering the rock base of the temple. There is a small market near the entrance of the temple area where you can shop and eat at reasonable prices.
(33) Due to the timing of Kecak Dances and the sunset in late August, I could only choose to see a beautiful sunset with dinner and drinks overlooking the waters, OR go see the local Kecak Dance.  Unfortunately doing both is not really an option since Kecak happens at sunset.  Here's a breakdown of the best options for both...\n\nThere are TWO Kecak Dance performance sites in Tanah Lot, though only one of them is heavily advertised at the gate and around the temple.\n\n#1 6pm, De JuKung Resto & Bar, 1 Hour Show, 100K IDR\nWhen you enter Tanah Lot from the parking gate, this is the Kecak show they offer a ticket on sale for when you enter.  You could technically see a tiny bit of the sunset while watching the Kecak Dance if you sit on the higher levels of the amphitheater, and then have a really great dinner at De JuKung Resto afterward.  Unfortunately, this location is not currently listed on Apple Maps, so rely on Google Maps and asking locals how to get there instead.  It's about a 7min walk through tourists from the temple.\n\n#2 6:30pm, Dewi Sinta Hotel, 30 Min Show, 50K IDR\nThis is your best chance to catch most of the sunset views around Tanah Lot (in August)  AND see a Kecak Dance show in the same evening.  This location is listed on Apple Maps and Google Maps, and is actually much closer to the temple since it's just up the street, about a 4 min walk through tourists from the temple.\n\nI, unfortunately, did not get to see either of these Kecak Dance shows because it was my first visit and I wanted to walk around more, but I did get to see quite a few great sunset watching spots and here's a breakdown of those... \n\n#1 Sunset from Wahrung Sunset Bagus - Relaxed drinks with cliffside temple views.\nThis is the closest sunset temple view for relaxing with drinks and western-like foods.  There are fewer umbrellas here, which make it easier to see great skies no matter where you sit.  Service is relaxed at best, so don't expect people to check on you, just call them when you need them.  They prefer to leave you alone unless you need something.  This doesn't show up on Apple Maps, but does appear on Google Maps.  From the temple, you walk through a small market alley to the right until you get to the cliffside cafes.  People start to claim their sunset cliffside tables around 6pm.\n\n#2 Sunset from Tanah Lot Beach / Trump Golf Course - Natural views with less people.\nGoogle maps lists this area as Tanah Lot Beach, Apple Maps listed this area as Trump Golf Course.  To access the beach and walking paths, go to the end of the sunset cafe area mentioned above, around a small red gate, through a little patch of wood, and then onto a paved path that leads to open beach and a great overlook that provides views of the sun setting directly behind Tanah Lot.  This is an amazing spot for photographers and instagrammers to get iconic sunset shots with Tanah Lot in the background, but lots of open beach in the foreground.  A lot of people start to claim sunset watching spots here around 5:30pm.\n\nAlternative Sunset Locations with Secondary Views...\nIf you feel like you've seen enough of Tanah Lot's main temple during the day and want a different sunset view, check out these options... \n\n#3 Sunset on Batu Bolong Temple - Thread the sunset through the hole.\nAs I was walking through the park to the north of the main Tanah Lot temple, I wondered why so many people were camping out along the side of the cliff, then I realized that it would be pretty spectacular to watch the sunset through the natural bridge under Batu Bolong Temple.  The view from above wouldn't provide a complete sunset under the bridge, but if you're on the ground at the right time of year, you might be able to accomplish it from the beach level if you can get down there when the tide is low enough.\n\n#4 Sunset at De JuKung Resto & Bar - Relaxing Indonesian Dinner at Sunset\nThis option does not give you sunset views of any of the temples, but it does give you 180º sunset views over the open waters, with a really great Indonesian and seafood meal.  We could hear a little bit of the Kecak Dance happening at the nearby arena from our table even though we couldn't see it.  There was also a private event happening for the major sports teams of Indonesia while we were there, so there were a lot of people around, but the service was still very attentive for dealing with food allergies and the quality was excellent.\n\nWas this review helpful?
(34) Wow - perched on a rock outcrop is the impressive Tana Lot Temple.  There is plenty to explore, however a bit of climbing is involved.  Ho at low tide as when it is high tide you cannot get across to the 'island'.   Wear walking shoes and maybe take a towel in case you get wet
(35) Tanah Lot is a beautiful temple but I can't seem to give any of the well known Bali temples a five out of five because of how commercial they have all become.\nAs for most of the popular tourist temples, you are made to go through the market place before you get to the temple and then have to battle the hagglers.\nI must admit though, those trying to sell their goods were not too pushy at all and left you alone to contemplate the beauty of the temple.\nWe wish we had seen the snakes! I found signage and information for this was lacking. \nHowever, what can I say but another beautiful and unique holy place that deserves a visit.
(36) We always advise our villa guests NOT to go to Tanah Lot. It is so commercial, grubby and tacky. Clear out all of the tourist crap and put it back to how it should be. No regard for culture with bikini topped visitors, both white and Asians.
(37) W came to Tanag Lot Temple just in time to admire one of the incredible sunsets on Bali. It is definitely worth to take time. Sit down and watch it happen. It is recommendable to be there an half an hour before to choose the best place. Enjoy :)
(38) We visited Tanah Lot in the early evening and it is a very beautiful place, however it is also extremely busy with the tourist hordes arriving to see the sunset. Due to the low level cloud we missed this which was not a bad thing to miss the traffic. Worth a visit if you can go at a quieter time or are prepared to sit in traffic if you stay for the sunset.
(39) The Tanah Lot Temple is the mekka of tourism in Bali. You have to pay 60k entrance fee to walk through millions of souvenir shops. When you made your way to the attraction don't be disappointed of the unspectacular rock that is located 10m into the ocean. We totally regeretted going there, just look up pictures on google.
(40) A trip to Bali shall never be complete without visiting Tanah Lot Temple. \n\nNot just for chasing the sunset, but more for listening to the murmurs of the Mother Nature.\n\nYou do need to anticipate a large crowd of tourists, but I suggest you to walk a little bit further from the temple, that’s where you can have your most spiritual moment in Bali.\n\nI whispered to myself at the end of sunset, there’s a need to come back here for another time.
(41) We got up super early to see Tanah Lot at sunrise knowing any other time it would be crawling with tourists and horrible. We got there by moped and all the tourist shops that line the streets were closed which was lovely. People are saying it's expensive to come here but we didn't have to pay a penny, as the first ones up there was no one to pay!\n\nWe took our traditional sarongs and temple belts with us and put them on before walking down to the temple, we met an elderly Balinese lady who was extremely pleased to see us correctly and respectfully dressed for a visit. She was seemingly the only other soul there and explained she comes to collect seaweed at low tide (even though she spoke no a English) \n\nWe approached the temple and noticed a priest making offerings. He beckoned us over and we took part in a Spring water purification, we made a donation of money as we had not brought any other offering with us. He gestured for us to climb the stairs and we enjoyed the view but didn't pass the temple gates as we weren't entirely sure this would be welcome.\n\nWe then explored the rock pools after watching the sun come up and enjoyed a snake sighting.
(42) I was able to see three temples in Bali - Tanah Lot, Uluwatu and the one at Batuan village.  I liked Tanah Lot the most because it was both a natural and cultural destination.  I liked the fact that we could walk down and cross to the island when it was low tide.\n\nThere were any tourists and it is proof that this is a very popular destination.\n\nAt the base of the Tanah Lot temple/rock formation, we saw a queue of people and that sparked my interest.  In turned out that there were 2-3 Hindu religious people who blessed the visitors.  The visitors queued up to a water spot, washed their faces, then the Hindu religious person blessed them by sprinkling them with water 3x with a sort-of wand made of leaves, then they would place some rice kernels on the foreheads, and put a \kalachuchi\" flower on the left ear.  I saw the visitors put money in a donation box nearby.  I am not sure if these were authentic Hindu religious people or was it business.  In any case, the visitors seemed to have enjoyed the experience and this definitely added to the allure of the place.\n\nI consider it as a nature destination as well as we were able to appreciate the green algae in the intertidal area, plus the pools of water that remained with fish and crabs trapped inside when the water receded after the high tide.\n\nThere were just a few pieces of litter such as a plastic bottle and snack wrappers.  I hope the travelers would be more responsible in disposing off their trash. \n\nWe visited this on our last day in Bali and we are glad we made it here.  We would have missed this great destination if we were not able to see it."
(43) It was a good day out to Tanah Lot Temple during our visit to Bali. The temple itself is in accessible (till the top), we could only go till the bottom of the rock where Balinese priest would bless you with Holy water & you can make a donation. The view of the temple from the entrance & nearby hills is breathtaking. The entry is lined with shops selling knick-knacks and the entire complex is well developed for tourists. Its good for half a day excursion.
(44) we were lucky that when we went there it wasn't too crowded. but I could see how bad it could be if more people were there. I did crossed the water (it was high tide) to get to the base of the temple. You can't get into the temple (only for worshipers) but you could walk around to a bit higher ground although to do that they need to bless you first with what they say is holy water and you need to donate some money (it's whatever you want to give). but i say don't bother because you still can't get far even after you you do that.\nthere are also other temples within walking distance from tanah lot temple and lots of souvenir shops and restaurants.
(45) Was very pleased to be at tanahlot..the place was very nice n the temple was in the middle ..u need to cross the in order to reach the temple but if tide u cannot go down to visit the temple... was very hot at that time we reach and alot of visitor(tourtrist) has alot of souveniers shop along the way down to the temple..our tour guide park the car in upper car park so from up u can view everyting ..then we walk down to the temple..there a holy snake near the temple and also the temple was serrounder with salt sea water but in the temple its self has pure water which i find very magical... the wave the sea was very natural and very calm to be there ..and was blessed to be blessed at the temple..if come bali is a must to tanah lot...and also alot of local n wester food restaurent too..the toilet in upper carpark need to be pay (30sen rupiah) and its very clean..happy to be at tanah lot
(46) Just about an hour drive away. The place is well catered for tourists with many vendors on your way from the car park to the temple. It is a beautiful site with the temple on a rock in the sea. The walk from the car park to the temple along the cliffs top has lovely view onto the sea.  You will pass another much smaller temple, Pura Bath Balong on your way to Tanah Lot.  There is an amphitheatre near the car park with daily performance of the Kecak dance. A restaurant is attached to this theatre. Good time to visit is around 4pm. And you can catch the sunset after visiting the temple.
(47) Tanah lot is one of the most beutiful tourist attractions in Bali...You cannot go to Bali and not visit this place...Most recommended time to visit is when there’s low tide.Unfortunately we visited this place during high tide and therefore there was no access to the temple because now it was surrounded by sea.Also during december it is heavily crowded with tourists...But even then the views of this were absolutely breathtaking specially from the hilltop..I mean who wouldn’t enjoy views of endless ocean and waves crashing into the rocks..Honestly you must must visit this place to believe the beauty of it.\nThey charge an entry fee of 30000 idr/ around 2 US dollars which is amazing for the experience you get !
(48) i revisited tanah lot on a rainy day,though impossible to see the sunset,but still beautiful.that time i visited,quite lot of people,but it is ok,not very crowded if compared to last time i visited in 2019. i saw the holy snake,and also had holy water by the priest.cuz limited time,i just took some pics ,then i left.will come again for sure.
(49) Never miss Tanah lot in your Bali trip. Out of many temples, this one stands out with best view with waves, sunset and divine vibes
(50) Tanah Lot is a very commercialised area, if you haven't shopped yet then this might be a time to do it. Everyone is after the great sunrise or sunset shot and I can understand why, but if you have no luck or skill (me) then there are plenty of local artists so why not grab a painting instead. Not my fav temple but intriguing none the less with the mystic of not being able to get too close.
(51) Tanah Lot Temple is located in one of the most incredibly stunning sites I have had the good grace of visiting. Everything is breathtakingly beautiful...definitely go see this temple. The weather in October was hot and sunny. I would personally prefer to visit this location when it was sunny however I'm sure it would be lovely in a light rainfall.
(52) One of the iconic landmarks in Bali, Tanah Lot is an ancient Hindu temple that rests on a large offshore rock on the coastal line of Tabanan area. This is, in fact, one of the seven temples around the Balinese coast. In the Balinese language, Tanah Lot stands for land (Tanah) in the sea (Lot), quite aptly describing the location of the temple. Tanah Lot is a very popular tourist destination and is often very busy, especially at the time of sunset. At the entrance to the temple, there is a gate with stunning Balinese architecture, and many tourist shops offering local art and crafts.
(53) Beautiful temple location surrounded by the rough sea and various spectacular viewing angles of the temple and different areas around the Tanah Lot temple. If you go Bali be sure to visit this place!
(54) Visited Tanah Lot with some friends in the evening to catch the beautiful sunset. Many tourists and locals were there. Entrance fee is 30000 rupiah for foreigners and 10000 rupiah for locals. Shopping here is cheaper compared to Kuta. :)
(55) Heard about Tanah Lot Temple from a friend. We arrive late afternoon and had a wonderful time. Been to many Temples and this one was amazing.
(56) Given Bali's numerous temples and the stunning location of these temples, it is very difficult to choose anyone's favourite. But if we have to choose the top3, TanahLot will definitely find its place. The broken beach and the calm beach make it an amazing sunset view  point
(57) As with Uluwatu it had been 31 years since we visited this Temple site and we were astounded with the rampant commercialism of the entire area surrounding. The Temple still stands in splendid isolation atop the outcrop, the waves and high tides providing some semblance of barriers to the hordes trying to get access. The extensive onshore commercial area also includes a number of shrines intermixed among the restaurants, shops and art market stalls. Easier to see Pekendungan Temple, Batu Mejan Temple, Batu Bolong Temple, Jro Kandang Temple and Enjung Galuh Temple. The map provided when we purchased our tickets is a user friendly plan of the complex. We arrived at 10.00am approx. after a two hour drive from Kuta Square but the throngs were already present. We were lucky to have an excellent driver/guide who interacted with officials and stall holders on our behalf and ensured that no 'rip-offs' occurred. Despite the crowds and commercialism, I still reckon that Tanah Lot is a 'must see' at least once if visiting Bali.
(58) What can I say? Everyone wants to see Tanah Lot so be prepared for the crowds especially if you want to see sunset with everyone else. For pictures, I prefer the morning light but atmosphere of sunset is very special too. It costs a lot to get tour company or even taxi to take you and wait and come back, then there is the entry fee (I can't remember exactly how much but more than anywhere else we went for the past 7 days) and then you have to pay for car entry. Expect to pay 3 times - travel/ tour, entry and car park. There is a temple on site so you can get a water blessing at the base of island but expect to queue for this in the late afternoons. No entry into the temple.
(59) We decided we would take a day to go to the Tanah Lot Temple as there were also markets before entrance there. Once inside you need to pay 30,000idr for entry each person ($3 AUD) the markets are unique but also almost the same 80% of stalls sell the same shirts, nick naks, bags etc. This place you need to bargain over here the locals are harder to barter with so if you dont get what you want offer to leave as they will eventually come around. We entered the Temple when instantly we were hounded by people selling frangipani clips and postcards 3 NO'S didnt seem enough so instead she followed us hounding my partner instead until the 15th time i had stopped and told her \ Thats enough!\" the temple is beautiful although you need to go when tide is very very low or you cannot walk over to it as it is on the ocean. The experience could be great however the locals hassling you every second your in there ruins the atmosphere and sanctuary of the temple so expect that when you go there."
(60) Tanah lot is a must visit shrine in Bali. A hindu temple on a natural rock formation besides the beach ocean is a sight not to be missed. Ticket price is less than 10$
