(1) I wasn't expecting this temple to be so beautiful... :)\nStrong white waves, nice breeze, breathtaking views.\nMany people come here for a sunset, but why? In the day time it is also pretty. Colours of the ocean, not so crowded...\nEntrance ticket 20 000 IDR. You need a sarong (if you don't have your own, they provide it for free).\nThere are monkeys running all arround. Be careful, they try to steal sunglasses, bottles of water - anything.\nOne of the most beautiful places in Bali!\nExceeded expectations. \nI mean, the temple is small and the main part of it is closed. But the arrea and surroundings are great!
(2) My 1st time here was in 1990. It has become more crowded n crowded and it needs real timing to visit it not at high tide but at low tide in the low season so you can relax and also walk there. It is said that inside the caves are little rattle snakes. If local people ask there for money just dont pay it the want to show you something but inside the cave there is nothing to see. It's a great place but you have to be smart to enjoy this temple and not pay extra money. We will come back with 1st time visitors.
(3) Nice place to see sunset.\nThere is a temple approx. just 10 meters in the sea.\nPhotogenic place.\nAlways crowded.
(4) We visited this place to watch the sunset view. Our hotel was in Nusa Dua and to reach this temple more than one hour. The place is authentic but there is no permission to enter inside of the temple,so I became a little bit disappointed. Only religion people can enter this place. But the view is very nice you should go if you come to Bali.
(5) Nádherné místo, které určitě stojí za vidění. Může se fotit bez problémů vše. Za poplatek možno se i vykoupat Vstup do chrámu 30.000 IDR.\n\nWonderful place definitely worth seeing. It can take pictures. For a fee, you can also bathe. Entrance to the temple 30.000 IDR.
(6) Went mid day and played merry as low tide allowed us to go well into the water, the temple makes for a majestic setting in mid of sea. Must visit
(7) We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids visiting Bali for the first time from the USA. This place was very unique. It was low tide so we were able to walk around the temple and watch it so close. We were lucky to watch a “ceremony”. This place is really magical especially for sunset
(8) The gardens were pretty, with some stunning flowers but I was underwhelmed by this temple and a little disappointed as I was really looking forward to visiting it.
(9) This temple is built on a lake but one can't get to the sanctum like most other temples in Bali. So one has to feel satisfied by watching from the pavement built on the river side. And from there it won't look any different from any other temple in Bali. So the point is one can avoid visiting this place if one wants. Our episode of visiting this place was even more tragic because it started to rain heavily and since it's an open park, we had to run quite a distance to find shelter. So our experience wasn't great here.
(10) A very popular tourist resort and local place for villagers to go too. Although it is a popular place to visit, depending on when you go during the day there are quieter periods. We stayed at the hotel located in the gardens. The gardens are very beautiful and well kept, and can be very relaxing with all the water features and ponds. We enjoyed walking around the park and whilst we were there the local village were preparing the temple there for the festival of the lanterns, which was a nice experience to see part of the Balinese culture. Although you can complete the garden it about 20-30mins there are plenty of benches to sit on to relax and to take in the ambience, or people watch. Also the hotel restaurant is available to the public with a lovely view of the gardens if you need a drink or food. There are also some little stores out the front of the palace if you want refreshments.
(11) The temple is stunning , the sun plus the temple make them look magical. The sea, the wafe... All become the perfect unity.
(12) If you're here on a clear day, the sunset is very good I've heard. A lot of tourists, but it's spacey in low season. Nice wave action for that nice splash selfie! You can't enter the temples, but that didn't matter to us.
(13) We visited this temple in the pouring rain. It was very busy with lots of selfie sticks and posing tourists... at one point we were sheltering and right opposite there appeared to be a duck and some chickens that were being sacrificed. The duck was struggling to stand up in is tiny cage and one of the young chickens was hanging upside down. We were visiting with our two daughters aged 10 and 7 and all of us were really upset by these very obviously distressed creatures! I would not have gone had I know we were going to be in some way contributing to this activity- very disappointing
(14) It is a mid-size temple that perched on the lakeside and the surrounding area offer a great view. It should not be on your most wanted place to visit unless you have exhausted your listing or places to go.
(15) This temple is amazing and the view is beautiful.. unfortunately in this period is in maintenance, in  some zone are not allowed go!
(16) The temples are located on a lake in the mountain area - very picturesque and really worthwhile to visit. Would recommend this as a must see attraction in Bali
(17) Have been before and wanted to see the temple when the tide was out, hence the second trip. Way too many tourists hovering around!! And you had to pay to see the cave snakes!! Best part was being blessed by the holy men so I could actually step foot on the rock. The whole place looks so much prettier when it is surrounded by the sea, not at low tide.
(18) Everytime we are in Bali for holiday, there are few places we always visit, 1 of them is Ulun Danu Bratan Temple. Last visit was with my Mom. What can I say :) always love to be there, and this I didnt forget to take pics with a bat and some owls haha by only paying for US$4.00-5.00. So when you are in Bali, never missed this place. \n\nRegards,\nPutri
(19) Located on high cliffs on the south west tip of Bali, this is a great location for this old temple.  Although one can't get into the inner sanctum of the temple itself (worship only), the walk along the cliffs in either direction is spectacular.  Large breaking waves crashing against limestone cliffs.  Good getaway from the benign comforts of the resorts
(20) Nice temple especially during the sunset, but it didnt amaze me. Restricted for taxi drivers so the best is to have a driver waiting for you after the visit.
(21) Temple featured on banknote. Very touristy and gets crowded. However it's a pleasant view on the lake and grounds are well kept
(22) Only thing here is get a picture taken. Using trick photography, the picture does look great. But it's too far from other attractions and with drive and wait, we spent a whole day to just get a picture taken. Also ticket price seems expensive. Not sure why they insist on wearing a sarong when they don't allow you to go inside the temple.
(23) Temple very spectacular! I have manage to be there at high tide so access not possible to thectemple itself but worth the view. Just ignore hawkers and you will be fine
(24) You cant miss this if you are in bali.a really nice place.the temple ia not sow big like in the picturs.come early to avoid the crowds.nice views of lake and temple near.
(25) Such a beautiful view and example of Balinese culture and history. The temple in the water is a great view any time of day low or high tide.
(26) we are falling in love with this temple. Amazing view of the temple on top of the cliff overlooking to the ocean. waves come and back with blue and clear water. we seen also many people come in Balinese custom for pray at the temple. definitely recommend to visit this temple.
(27) I just love this place. The scenery is beautiful especially in the sunset. The atmosphere is so peaceful even though there're lots of people from all around the world visit this temple
(28) One of the most satisfying experience of a beautiful sunset into the ocean. There is entry ticket to visit the temple but its very small amount. Definitely worth paying to visit the temple and some nice sunset clicks.
(29) This was a stop on our all day Ubud area tour.  The temple and garden areas were beautiful and it was neat to observe the bathing ritual.  Be forewarned upon exiting you have to go through aisles and aisles of shopping stands.
(30) this is a very nice temple on the sea, the view is fantastic, it is a little too crowded, many shops, souvenirs,...
(31) We stopped by this temple on a tour of West Bali, since it is one of the most photographed temples on the island. The tide was low, so we could walk to the stairs of the temple, although we are not allowed to go up. The path was quite slippery and a bit dirty, and the view was not as dramatic as I anticipated. Because we had an evening function that day, we did not stay for the sunset. If we had time, we would probably have reserved a place to watch the sunset.
(32) Beautiful sunset views to enjoy... And the best of all hindu cultural acts that you will ever see allover the world.. Such a good much visit spot in bali..
(33) Came to this temple as part of a tour around this part of the island. \n\nIt was ok and quite busy, stunning location but we completed the site within 30 minutes took some nice photos and that was about it.
(34) All I like about this temple is it’s location. Which is on the lake. The complex is quite a big one. And it’s pretty famous as lot of tourist. But they charge the fees of 50000/- idr which is on much higher side. \nI suggest it to visit it if you are going to Bali treetop adventure park because it’s just 15 minutes from it. I do not recommend a special visit as it’s about 45 km from ubud.
(35) One of top list to go when visiting Bali.\nPlaced in highland, sometimes it's can be very cold, don't forget your jacket. No matter how hot most places in bali are, this one will make you shiver.\nVery accomodating for tourist. Great view, and easy to reach, even if you're not hiring tour guide. Bring along your smartphone with GPs and you'll find it easily.\nWonderful place with so many things to see, with natural calm atmosphere of beautiful lake.
(36) We went in the afternoon to avoid the sunset crowds which was definitely worth it. It was 120,000 for two people including parking. There are so many shops and places to eat you could look around for hours. During high tide your cannot cross over to the temple. The view was amazing- if your lucky you may be able to catch locals during prayer
(37) This place is amazing, surrounded by turquoise water and flanked by an astonishing temple.\nThere is a left hander for surfing but it's very frequented by locals.
(38) Beautiful Hindu (obviously) temple not far from Amed. Actually it's seven temples on the ascend. \nI only went to the first one - the biggest and the best that opens the view to mount Agung and rice fields. \n\nThe remple is beautiful is detailed. Especially the gates and the stairs to them. There is not much of ascend to the first temple as you drive up to it and park in the parking space, then take several staircases and you have arrived. I was not very lucky with the view because it was cloudy and even the first temple is high inhough to be in the clouds. But I enjoyed my time watching the sky clear up a little and revealing the rice fields in a haze (could not the the mount still). However in Amed there are plenty spots from where you can see the full frontal of the mount.\n\nThe temple is not touristy at all and pretty empty unless there is a ceremony. In case of the ceremony it is told to be full of people moving slowly along the entire length of the road. You can hire a guide if you want to, but you dont have to. The entrace is free, but you are asked to make a small donation. You also have to wear sarong - piece of cloth to cover your legs and preferable shoulders if you are wearing and open top.\n\nThe second temple is a small jungle temple about 2 km from the first one up the road. Jungle is knows as monkey territory (especially the part between the 6th and the last temple, which is also 1700 stairs, so it's tireing too). The troop of monkeys living their is reported to be very obnoxious and agressive with a record of many people bitten. That was one of the reasons I chose to stick to the first temple. \n\nIt was a wonderful quiet comtemplation experience.
(39) The pilgrimage temple is perched on rock formation which is accessible when the tide is out. This is a pretty busy place so trying to get a spot to take photos, especially at sunset can be challenging as it is very busy with tourists. There are plenty of cafe etc Keep an eye out for the surfers, very entertaining
(40) Right from the entry gates to the temple, one sees typical Balinese architectural features and tiered shrines. The complex has shrines dedicated to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the trinity of Hinduism.  The temple appears to be floating when the lake level rises, a great photo opportunity. The serene lake views are bonus.
(41) An amazing place to visit and contemplate .. You can also complete the blessing ritual by the monks there. A beautiful place, I recommend!
(42) When I visited this temple, I didn't want to go anywhere. It's absolutely beautiful temple Bali style on the high mountain. The entrance fee is 50,000 IDR per one person.
(43) This should be a must to do on your list. I enjoyed every minute of this place. There are many people there. I was more interested in the architecture of the temple so I took many pics. do take as many pictures of yourself as you can. The weather in the evening starts to get foggy so try to view this before anything else. Also on the way to here there are a lot of rice terraces have your driver stop by there.
(44) The site of Sukarno's palace, breathtaking locale.  But the highlight for me was the water purification ceremonies which were continuous.  Hindus seemed to not object at all to tourists snapping their photos.  A family communal event in the waters of the springs. Temples are extensive and gorgeous.
(45) This a great place for seeing a good temple on the banks of a big lake with a good view of Mt. Batukaru\n\nThere are deers in an enclosure right next the temple.
(46) Loves the architecture of the site, with the temple being on a lake with a wondrous backdrop of a mountain range. Comes in early to avoid the heavy tourist volume or late in the evening to enjoy the sunset.
(47) what a beautiful temple and what a beautiful sight.\nyou can simply sit on one of the rocks for hours and soak in the view ..the mighty ocean .\n\nmust visit place for every traveler in Bali
(48) So beautiful! There is an entrance fee, but it wasn't much. The grounds are gorgeous. There is also a restaurant and shops within the temple grounds.
(49) You can not access the temple, you can only admire it from outside. The spectacle of dance and fire is interesting.\nThe best are the views of the sunset
(50) We came here after having visited the Taman Ayun temple... ( revised separately). At first we didn't see what the fuss was about . You enter , pay 60,000 IDR ( £4 ish ), you walk pass the many touristy stalls in and out of the temple complex, you get to the view point ... Amongst the Indian Ocean ... Take few photos amongst hundreds of others ... Try to cope with the scorching heat ... And thinking this isn't the same place You've  seen in the photos.... As you're about to leave , you see the main temple in the ocean !! That makes sense now... Almost missed it !! It's too hot and too busy and we were tired hence the confusion... I've opted to walk to the temple from the shore with my new flip flops that I bought in Seminyak... The water is slippery and waves are making it hard to walk ... My sister and my friend decided to stay on the beach and take photos instead... you can't go inside the temple anyway... Just to see the surroundings ... \nJust beautiful.... I love visiting different temples and I've visited many but this is very different.  \nThis is a must see place if you're in Bali , even better if you combine it with Taman Ayun Temple (visited first ). For us it was a lovely half day trip .  Both very different and give you some insight to Balinese culture and the Hindu temples ... \nMany eating and drinking places inside... Unfortunately we didn't have time for the sunset . Visited in the late morning. As we wanted to spend the day at Kudeta beach club afterwards. What a mistake .\nIf I come back to Bali , I'd definitely visit this amazing place at sunset and have a drink / dinner at one of the restaurants... Day time is lovely and beautiful however too hot and busy making it hard to walk . We got sun burnt on this day ... \nStill I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is in Bali or the surrounding areas . \nLovely rural villages and local places and people en route from Seminyak .... \nI'd definitely come back here again...\nHappy holidays....
(51) I enjoyed this temple.  I think because the vendors weren't as pushy as other places.  I had an excellent driver.  We stopped to buy strawberries on the way.  It had a very peaceful feeling though busy with a few school students on tours. The temple was different than I expected.  I thought it more of an island, but it is close to sidewalk.  You can see the stones on which they place bamboo boards to walk to this small isolated structure.  I also thought I small.  Being on the back of the \blue\" money I thought it would be a larger size.  There is a fenced in family of deer for viewing.  A wonderful Buddhist structure is outside the walls of the water temple.  Another temple has a beautiful color door.  The sacred tree is more appreciated from a distance to understand how big it was.  The place is clear with wired food shaped trash receptacles.  Parking was easy, but the drive was very long."
(52) This a great place for seeing a good temple on the banks of a big lake with a good view of Mt. Batukaru\n\nThere are deers in an enclosure right next the temple.
(53) This temple is on a cliff and the views are astonishing!! Worth walking along the cliff to see the temple from different sides during sunset! A picture-perfect spot!
(54) It is actually one of those places which looks better on the photos.  Although still used for worship - I saw a very unhappy duck being carried off with great ceremony, followed by a group of men in impressive robes.\nThe day we visited was cold, dark and dreary the temples rising from dark waters -  nevertheless  the whole atmosphere is almost Disney Like
(55) This water temple is very beautiful with many decorations. Cheap local tourguides who can tell you about the history and add that little extra.
(56) Arrived at right time to watch the beautiful bali sunset, was able to walk out to the temple as tide was out.  Lots of markets & food stalls.  Great family outing
(57) The temple  is  really beautiful.... . With view of an awsome  lake and mountains in the backdrop.....green and well maintained gardens lay in front ...  Must visit place... Anyone looking for getting pictures clicked with exotic birds,  bats etc.. Shall also not be disappointed..
(58) Crowded with tourists and groups but apart from that it is a beautiful place with a fascinating view to take photos/videos and to also enjoy the amazing surroundings. To those who are planning to visit Bali, this temple is a must-visit ! Best to come during sunset.
(59) This temple is a nice temple, you can make some nice pictures from the temple. altough, we went early around 9.30 in the morning it was not so busy, but when the buses arrive its crowded. if your going north just to see this temple i wouldnt do it. There are so many other beautiful temples to see on bali. But if your around, its a nice one to go to.
(60) The structure of the temple is beautiful. The main entry is also an attraction, and will have a big line of people getting pictures. Can spend up to an hour here. The view is amazing, and the atmosphere is serene. Has a bit of shopping outside. Overall - nice place!
