(1) If you have to see a Bali temple, this is one to see. The temple is built on a rock and accessible if the tide is low. Worshippers come and bring offerings to the temple and the ocean setting is beautiful, especially at sunset.
(2) We went to the temple just before sunset and in that way were lucky to have watched sunset over the ocean with the boats coming in. It was beautiful. The temple is one of the oldest and boasts beautiful cliff side views, in terms of actual temple activity (I.e.: people praying etc...) there is none. Worth a visit for the view and pictures.
(3) We enjoyed the actual site, but the drive, traffic & the endless vendors leading up to the site were a drag.  No one could access the small temple up on its rock pedestal, but the coastal view it was most people enjoyed.  You can walk around the base & in the lower cave at low tide, so factor that in your tour.  It was difficult to get decent photos without throngs of other tourists, but they had the same problem as me.\nThe temples near the sea arch were better photos.  Despite the negatives, I am glad we visited
(4) To enter the temple, you have to pay an entrance fee of 30,000 for adults. The view from the cliff was stunning. Ignorant tourist that only see themselves and no one else around wreck this beautiful temple.
(5) Traffic is crazy in Bali but this was the one temple we were able to make it to\n\nWas quite beautiful and with being there during the sunset\n\nThere are some nice cafes with patios overlooking the main temple where you can relax and get some great photos.
(6) We could not go into the temple. A local (who didn't speak much English) told us that one can go in only for praying and must be dressed in sarongs and the headdress. We walked across the knee deep water (in low tide) to see the Holy Spring - amazingly, a fresh water spring out of the rock in the middle of the sea! Very nice area.
(7) We went at 6 pm to see the sunset which is photo worthy...we are Not allowed inside the main temple.  A fee was charged just to enter the premises.
(8) Very busy temple however at sunset on the top of the hill it's amazing. Lots of shops and a big market to spend the evening at. Go as part of a tour however and you can avoid most of the market if it's not ur thing yet still enjoy the sunset and views. Beautiful place
(9) There are actually a couple of temples here which are a bit offshore (you can walk across when the tide is low which wasn't the case when I visited).  The combination of beautiful temples and the pounding sea allow for some wonderful pictures.  The problem with anything like this is the number of tourists.  I got there around 9 in the morning so it wasn't bad yet.  While sunset is touted to be wonderful there, I can't imagine how many busloads of people there would be vying for spots.  There are, of course, many many souvenir stalls which are inevitable.\n\nRegardless, definitely worth spending a bit of time there. It is a bit out of the way. I had a private car and driver (reviewed separately) which I felt was the best way. There are many bus tours available which stop for a bit.
(10) Beautiful place. It gets crowded with bus loads but if you wait just after the sunset they all leave almost instantly and you get the place to yourself. Just hangout for a good 20 mins and you won’t be disappointed. The sky just glows and the place comes to life. \n\nI came when I was 4 and it has barely changed when I was 26! That is a one. A few more shops in the back streets but the foreshore is still lovely. \n\nAt low time you can walk to where the temple is and sit down low. At high tide you I’ll be in water down there. \n\nLove it.
(11) A beautifully located temple. However visitors are not allowed to enter and worship. During tide difiicult to reach and visit surrounding areas,
(12) We visited this place before noon just to take in the view and see the temple. The temple here is certainly not the largest on Bali island and a big part of it is closed to the public. A Kecak performance(traditional Balinese dance) is held here every evening and I heard thousands of tourists flock here for the show! The entrance fee here is INR30,000 per adult(AUD3), so it is worth a visit if you are in Bali. The cliffs are spectacular and will definitely add the \WOW\" factor to your holiday photos!"
(13) I suggest going to the temple at sunset. The sunset makes a beautiful backdrop. On the walk down to the temple there are markets and a small snake park. I suggest taking small change around $10,000 to $20,000 for the \donations\" you pay for a \"blessing\" or to view the natural spring water on the rock and see the snake in the cave. Take shoes/slippers which will get wet as you need to cross a shallow body of water to get to the temple itself."
(14) I have been to a lot of places across the globe but haven't come across such incredible figure ! \nA temple in the middle of a sea is just breathtaking ...
(15) One of the must visit place in bali , beautiful temple located on the edge of sea , entry fee for 2 person is about 600 INR , as like other temples tourist are not allowed inside the temple.
(16) I went when the temple was closed. Locals set up a fake stand to charge you for sarong rental and a \donation\" entrance fee. All you can do is walk to the stairs of the closed temple. Do not stop at the first car park where the local shops are, if you have a bike drive past this on the right and go up the hill to the real carpark at the foot of the temple, or if you have a car dont go up the stairs at the left where the scammers are but go right and walk up the hill road to the temple. Locals use this road to go to the temple. Avoid the fake scammers entrance fee to a closed temple."
(17) We could watch how a mother breast fed her baby, while others in the pack looked after each other.\nAfterward there was an amazing ceremony in the temple
(18) A beautiful temple . 4 years ago it was a quiet place, now you have to wait in a queue to make the photos
(19) this is a very beautiful temple located by a lake. the scenery is also so so beautiful that will give you a peaceful and tranquil feeling. it was a cold rainy frosty day so i had to struggle with myself to get over severe conditions of weather with cold rain and thick fog when biking through the mountain passes, but it was worth it a lot.
(20) Find yourself a place at the terrace to see a spectacular sunset with the temple. You have to take a drink at the terrace, but it was really worth the view. Come early and leave immediately after sunset to avoid busy traffic
(21) I really like this place, although I went on a Saturday (24 September 2016) at the time when it was full of visitors (around 12 noon). I usually don't like too many people. It was full of visitors because it was a special day and there was a ceremony in progress. I was fortunate enough to see the procession of Balinese people in their beautiful traditional attire, bearing offerings in baskets and trays. There was even a 'mobile' gamelan group playing as the group walked. I managed to get a good position to take lots of photos. It was a case of being at the right place, at the right moment. A truly lucky day for me. \n\nThe scenery was breathtaking. It had rained earlier in the morning, so there was mist hanging over the mountains. Then the wind blew the mist down into the temple, and I felt like I was walking in the clouds. The temple is well-maintained, and the grounds surrounding it are very clean. There are also shops for buying souvenirs and a restaurant or two to have your meals. Buffet is available for big eaters.
(22) This was so beautiful. Located in middle of the water. Nice view of Sea, Sky and Mountains. Temple floats in middle of the water.
(23) Too many people and the litter detracted from the fact that this was a sacred place, saw more meaningful temples in peoples homes
(24) Great please to visit, very picturesque and clean. Surreal Temples with a beautiful ocean background.
(25) Set in hills and mountains, this temple in between a lake is a must see.\nThe serene ambience in this temple town is just amazing.\nVisited in Oct 2018
(26) Touted to be one of the greatest attractions, the temple turned out to be a disappoiintment. Visitors are not allowed up the cliff, and the accessible areas are pretty dirty.
(27) Too many people, too many tourist shops and sales people. Not possible to go inside the temple.. Would not recommend, rather go to a more authentic temple on Bali
(28) Went there today in the scooter from sanur. Appr.  1,5 hour drive(if u know where and how to go). Getting there You have to pay for parking and entrance , fight your way through the local salesman/women,  to have a gaspe at the Temple. Want to visite it, but are not allowed to go in!  It is a huge commercial scam.  Stay at the beach and visit the temple on the internet!
(29) Were not allowed to the temple itself, should be a nice view  from there. We were there during the day time, they say it is beautiful during sunset. May be... But not excited. There were temples more beautiful.
(30) A nice place to visit and watch the sun go down. You can't visit the temple but we visited on a special day and it was fantastic to see everyone in traditional dress visiting the temple. Plenty of shops to visit while you wait for sunset.
(31) sun sets looks unbelievable!! sun draw beautiful picture on the sky, water as well on the temple it self.\n\nwe where there just once but really breath away taking moment. \n\nas everywhere you cab purchase 10k of souvenirs and you can eat as well.. worthy to go as a couple await for sea refreshing wind and watch amazing spectacle..
(32) Also here to touristical...after paying entrance for parkingplace it´s a whole village of souvenirshops and restaurants or eateries before arriving at the temple...a huge area of restaurants and souvenirshops again...
(33) I visited here 10 years ago and loved it. It was just as beautiful and lovely this time around. My favorite temple in bali as it has crystal clear waters that you can swim in for very little money. You can also feed the fish and it doesn't feel overly touristy
(34) In the evenings, right before sunset, the tide is low and you are able to walk across to the temple where some priests are giving blessings.  Remember to wear slippers or sandals as your feet will get wet walking across the beach to the island temple.\n\nIf you like to get a better view of the sunset and the temple, go to the restaurants and bars above the temple, go early to get a table by the cliffs and the view of the temple and sunset are amazing.  Remember to bring insect repellent as mosquitoes come out at dusk here.  The restaurants provide repellent, but its better to be prepared.
(35) This was something special as this temple is placed in the sea.\n\nDo your self the favour, plan you visit so you can see the place wenn the sunset ist coming.
(36) We will take the long trip from Denmark again as soon as possible. Also we will choose Segara village Hotel again and mingle with the Balinese - maybe the nicest people in the world, with a approach to life and other people that the entire world should adopt - then it would be a better place to live!
(37) Nice sunset and the temple was beautiful. What was spectacular was when it is sunset the bats come out the caves and you see them swirling around in the sky- it wasn’t scary but beautiful
(38) If you manage to come here before the crowds arrive, good for you! Surrounded by many shops and various coffees and eateries, this temple is an interesting part of Balinese mythology. Guarded by the sea snakes, we were lucky not to see any!
(39) We landed up at tank lot at 5.30 and found it crowded with people eager to snap photographs.  It has wonderful scenic places you;d have loved to go to and put out feet in water which we did not have time for. HAs lot of small shops around you can find deals in but should reach there by 4 in the evening if you want to explore and enjoy the place.\n\nYou can go down to the temple if the tide is low and cross over , at leat reach one of the two temples which will be more fulfilling. going later than 5 you cannot, so plan well.
(40) This place has a different charm of it altogether. The temple is situated on a lake surrounded by a big garden with mountains in the back drop! It's view is very similar to a dreamy artist's portrait of a holy shrine! The beauty of this place will not disappoint you at all. You can plan this trip along with Git git waterfalls.
(41) the temple is situated in a very beautiful and scenic location. it is very touristy, but you can still get some great photographs. would definitely recommend visiting.
(42) It is a long drive to get here & part of the journey is on winding roads. It was cool when we arrived in the mid-afternoon. The garden is large, well-maintained with many kinds of flowers normally found in cooler climate. The temples on the lake are, of course, lovely. Very popular spot although when we were there, we didn't see many westerners, compared to Mount Kawi or Tirta Empul Temple.
(43) Small temple which you are not allowed to access.  Walk across the rocks to the base of the temple. Nice to see once, but nothing special. Surrounded by a quiet grassy park by the sea. Black sand.
(44) The temple and gardens were lovely but it was expensive to visit and there were lots of tourists. The tide was out on the day of my visit so you could walk out to the temple but had to be \blessed\" to walk the few stairs up it and this required more money."
(45) This place is so poorly maintained. Why isn't there anyone cleaning all the rubbish around the temple. \nYou would at least expect some basic cleaning of a holy temple, popular attraction and natural location...
(46) Check the sunset timing for the day of your visit and plan on reaching this attraction half an hour before the sunset as you will need to reserve your place so that you can witness the sunset without anybody's disturbance. Visit the temple before enjoying the sunset as the temple cannot be enjoyed after the sunset.
(47) very great place, cool atmosphere.. great place to take pictures with family and friends.. fyi this temple is the temple in the 50 000 Rupiah bank note
(48) There is a few different temples on this site, well maintained with a lovely garden. The main one, located in the center is not open for tourists, only for locals. You can still walk around the outside. The 2 floating temples ( main tourist attraction) are beautiful, especially on the morning light ( I was there at about 9.00am) BUT they are small sizes, not regular size temples, so do not except to see something grandiose, like the Mont Saint Michel in France! What makes the beauty of this site is definitely the lake and mountains around it. The two little temples seems floating on the lake. Beautiful scenery. Entry fee was 50000Rp ( June 2019)
(49) The view is fantastic.\nTemple is very old and small, interesting but closed almost all the time.\nThe cliffs are around 600 to 700 mt. above the sea, the plateau is very nice for the view, to relax and get some sun tan. Beautiful sunset. \nBe aware of the monkeys, real robbers.\nAvoid week ends, too crowded and the traffic is terrible :(
(50) sunset is the time to go here. watch the local surfers. and watch the sunset. look at the two sides of the temples.
(51) Is one of Bali’s more famous sights due to its picturesque nature, a temple perched on a little rock island that can be accessed by foot during low tide.
(52) You can arrive here with a taxi. Entrance fees of IDR 30,000 is charged. Arrive here at around 4pm so that you can enjoy sunset. It has some good souvenirs shopping options before you enter the temple. Watch for high tides when taking photo graphs. If high tide then you cannot cross to the temple. Walk on the cliff to enjoy and take pictures of sunset. Before sunset grab your seat in one of the restaurant to enjoy sunset. Drinks and food are reasonable.
(53) Its a nice view of the temple. You can get good photos of the temple from the too. You can see some shops in front which has some traditional dessert.
(54) If you go to Bali, you should go to see this temple. In sunset time it is breathtaking view. It is a little bit crowded and we could not get close to the temple but even just looking from the side it was amazing.
(55) Also referred to as the Sunset Temple, the impressive black lava towers of this sacred 16th century temple are situated on a rocky outcrop that extends into the sea. Surrounded by pristine aqua waters and the white surf that crashes against the rocks, it's easy to see why this location is a favorite among photographers. It tends to be very crowed for that reason.
(56) Our tour was rushed & had to leave before sunset. There was ceremony so was not able to get close to temple. Recommend tourists to include walk to \bridge\", temple & stay for sunset. Can get close to crashing waves against rocky shores & view out to ocean."
(57) what could be more beautiful and scenic than a temple ON A BEACH IN THE OCEAN!!!!!! the place is definitely a must for Bali-visitors- the markets and whole cultural atmosphere is amazing ❤️👌🏻
(58) Positive is the location at the sea on a rock. Nice place to see sunset for photographers.\nNegatives are that it is overly crowded near sunset time. It is overly expensive. Usually temples in Bali are about 10k but this one is 60k. I have seen much more impressive temples around Bali.\nAnd finally the temples face the see and there is actually not a lot to see of the temples itself as you can't get close.\nIt is very low on my list of attractions.
(59) We have visited this temple twice. The first time was around 10 years back. At that time we did not get the chance to see the sunset due to raining day. \n\nThis time we decided to vist again hoping to see the sunset but was disappointed again due to cloudy weather.\n\nBut the temple alone is worth visiting. This unique temple together with the beautiful landscape form an unforgetable image in our memory.\n\nWhile we were there, the temple is having some kind of religious ceremony. Although we do not quite understand the meaning behind it, we still find it interesting to watch the entire process.\n\nWorth visiting at least once.
(60) the best time to visit the Temple is when all the visitors are not there, then you can really appreciate the peaceful serenity and ambiance of this beautiful place, when the lake is mirror like some fantastic photos can be taken.
