(1) We've visited the temple because it's our first Bali trip and it was on my bucket list. The place itself (the temple) is a very powerful & magical place but all this touristy things around - coffee / souvenir shops - are distroying it a bit. I will prefer to have multilingual guides around instead of shops with all that cheap crap. The reason why i'm visiting this things is to learn more about the culture and history, thus i will appreciate more historical information locally.
(2) This place is incredible and a great way to pass a few hours. From the great market and coffee stalls by the entrance, to the walk over to the Temple. (Which you couldn’t actually walk up to) the views are stunning. There’s so much to see as you walk around the temples and the grounds in which it’s set.
(3) There are lots of tourists and you cannot go into the temple. But still it is a place you must see given its history. Do wade to the temple side and receive the blessings.
(4) Lovely lake side temple. We were lucky to be there on a festival day with beautiful decorations!  Very popular with locals and tourists but well worth the visit
(5) It's a rite of passage for new comers to Bali, but frankly this place is commercialised and over hyped. Yes the temple is separated from land during high tide and you can walk across during low tide. \n\nSunset might be fantastic but I did not get the opportunity to experience that myself. It was a cloudy day and the place was very crowded. \n\nThere were a group of people chanting their evening prayer in the compound itself amidst the frantic activities of tourists clicking pictures and chatting loudly - it was a little unsettling for a place of worship.
(6) It was about an hour and a half taxi ride from Nusa Dua but it was sure worth it. The temple was very beautiful and we were glad we went to see it.
(7) Temple on Bridge and beach have very nice view and it has sunset view though we missed it due to cloud. Nice photography point
(8) We visited a lot of temples in Bali and most are pretty sober and colorless. \nSome have very nice scenery with ocean, sunset and cliffs (like Uluwatu) but only Titra Gangga wow-ed me at the entrance with the very nice garden and fontains.\n\nCertainly worth a detour and it is a shame that most standard tours in Ubud don't go to this temple.\nTherefore we hired a car for the day to visit this temple, Amed and bat cave. (600.000 idr for a car from and back to Ubud).
(9) This is a Must Visit Place. It looks as if its a Corner most Point of Bali on the Sea Edge.\n\nWhen u climb  to the Top its breathtaking.( To the Temple top, you are not allowed).\nRest of the Location is Wonderful to walk around and the Village gives you the best Good Feel.
(10) We had a driver take us to this beautiful temple which you can walk to from the beach at low tide.  There are lots of art vendors before you get to the beach. I actually bought a beautiful painting which sits in my living room today.  Definitely make this a stop on your tour of beautiful Bali!
(11) One of my favourite spots, the location of the temple itself is stunning and if you can take the time to wander a little further afield the atmosphere is wonderful. Just visiting the temple involves crossing a market where many want to sell you much, and masses of tourist from all over that come here for genuine religious reasons, or just to take as many selfies as possible. The stupidity of some tourists also takes away from the potential serenity of the place. Access to the temple is governed by the tides as it sits on a small island, waves can hurt, break camera & iPhones or just plain kill you. Something to remember when visiting.  Evening when many have gone and the sun sets is very special.
(12) This temple is very beautiful and unique. But there were too many tourists when i visited. Was difficult to take a photo without crowd.
(13) We couldn't get into the temple as we went during high tide. Personally I preferred the high tide views as the waves do splash in hard making it look very beautiful. If you wish to get into the temple then go during low tide period generally late noon to early evening.
(14) Just lovely temple in lake. Nice garden and good restaurant. Rain is possible in the afternoon visit because the highland.
(15) Didn’t know what to expect as visits to the temples has been a bit of a let down. Pleasantly surprised, great guides to help scattered throughout the sanctuary
(16) Entrance fee is fair. Serene lake view with hills in the background of the temple. There is also beautiful gardens around the temple to chill with family. Lots of tourists, but u will still be able to get some perfect angle for photos. There was a prayer procession when i was there, definitely a bonus to be able to witness the interesting Hindu ceremony.
(17) Quieter and more comfortable lower temperatures and humidity make this a more enjoyable visit than some of the coastal temples
(18) Absolutely stunningly beautiful & romantic especially on a sunset.We loved it here & definately recommend to put it on your to see list.Theres a cave under the temple where u can be blessed with holy water. Directly across from there is another cave where you can have a snake encounter.Theres markets,restaurants and also a dance show around the same area aswell.Definately a must see in Bali.
(19) Often come to this amazin temple with friend to show the magic of Bali where the temple located in offshore. Best way to visit is early morning where not many tourist then able to see more spot and fresh air.
(20) The Place is nice and the sea temples are interesting but if you staying for a short time and you want to see the best then I don't recommend going there as there are many more interesting places to see that this. if you have plenty of time on the other hand then you should see come and see it but it will take you 15-30 min to see it all.
(21) Beautiful and surrounded by nice mountains and lake the temple gives you a heavenly feeling. Being there when it was nice and cloudy gave an additional dimension. The inner sanctum is a no go for travellers which is fine. The temples reflect Balinese culture and Hinduism of a different age. It is a must visit place when in Bali.
(22) It is located in the village of pecatu and built on the top of the cliff about 100 m down to the Indian Ocean. It was founded in 11century by Hempu kuturan it has a fantastic ocean view and sunset is stunning from the temple . Those who like to watch the fire dance there is a stage that built on the tip of the cliff facing to sunset so come over !!
(23) Enjoyable temple, you can go fishing which is pretty neat. Mountains in the close distance with the lake make it a dream location.
(24) I love the scenic view! Terrific sunset, great people and culture..love the balinese people...worth the travel!
(25) Sunset view was very beautiful. Slightly crowded at the time of sunset but worth visiting. Temple was accessible due to low tides but it was closed for visitors.
(26) This temple is worth seeing but very commercialised. The amount of people visiting detracted from out visit and seeing the temple.
(27) i have found the view beautiful but they would not let us go up the temple to look which was a disappointment.......entry expensive to my liking but the food stalls around where great to eat...lots of place to sit and absorb view...greenery...lovely overall
(28) One of the most visited and touristic temples in Bali...not really spectacular arquitecture...but at sunset it will not be forgotten....
(29) Lovely relaxed attraction and well priced at about $2 each for the temple.  There is an outside show available that start at 6.00pm for about $10 each and well worth it.  You can watch the sunset during the show or just wander around and take some great photos
(30) A few hours drive depend on traffic. The temple is situated next to the lake. A peaceful and beautiful settings. The temple is not far from the twin lakes. Worth a day trip for the view and nice good mountain air...
(31) Beautiful temple and a lovely place to visit!\nI was there in the morning when the tide was low so I could walk close to the temple. The view is not as nice though as you see the dark rocky beach. Perhaps the sunset view is better, but still, beautiful and amazing and definitely to be seen!
(32) The place is cool. There have many stores before you walk down to the beach, you can chill out there after the temple. This place is slightly overdeveloped, plastic bag and bottles are easy to find around the beach. The seawater wasn’t blue as same as those pics on google. But I still recommend this location.
(33) This place was off the charts.  Me and my son did the holy bath and it was invigorating.  I got out feeling cleansed  (unlikely lol). The culture here needs to be seen to be believed.
(34) We visited only 2 temples on our short stay and framed them into one day out. It's a lovely place to wander around., the grounds are level apart for steps getting down to temple level and then back up again.You could take a picinic as there are lovely grassy areas to sit. There are of course stalls selling snacks and souvenirs. Bring small change with you as you will need to pay for the use of the toilets although they are very dirty, when needs must. There is an entrance charge and if you have a driver you will need to pay for parking too.
(35) The must go place in Bali. It represents all we expect from the island. Great atmosphere and typical temple. The best place ever.
(36) It is a very beautiful temple, with the fascinating view of the Indian ocean. Unfortunately it is not open for tourists.
(37) The location of this temple is the ultimate attraction of bali. From various corners you'll get superb breathtaking views.....Don't miss the sunset view. Just go for it....
(38) The view to the temple and to the ocean is just sopivasti spectacular. Must be even better at time of the sun set.
(39) This is a lovely temple by the sea. I'm sure if the place wasn't so overly commercialised and crowded, it will be even more stunning. But well worth a trip if you are in Bali!
(40) Very beautiful at sunset , it is a long trip in the middle of no were but there is a market with little shops and a couple of resturants which are good.\nBewere of the temple snake it is huge and for a payment you can touch it if the keeper says  you can but it is poisonous and no way I would, it lives in the cave opposite the temple and as long as it lives the temple is safe
(41) We have seen many temples whilst holidaying in Bali but this one was definitely one of the nicest ones! Very nice place to hang out and feed the fish ;-)
(42) Although you are able to access the island at low tide, it isn’t possible to visit the Temple. Picture perfect and a nice beach front walk. Expect huge crowds at Sunset.
(43) 1. Awesome temple with sunset. must see in Bali wth grat foto ops\n2. For better views, you need to buy a thing or two from adjoining cafes.\n3. Like any other attractions, you have deal with pushy shop vendors.
(44) The temple and grounds are wonderful. Would recommend this temple to anyone in the area! Views are amazing!
(45) Beautiful pictures can be taken here but man was it hot and full of tourists!\nThis was my favourite temple in Bali!!!\nTake water with you.\nIt is beautiful at sunset and cooler. My advice would be to go early or later to avoid the heat and crowds of tourists.
(46) Well, what can I say, pretty much any places in Bali have some amount of crowd. My friends and I came here just to stop by and have a look at the place. Without tour guide, we learn nothing  to better appreciate the place. One thing I can tell you is the temple is located on the top of a volcanic island rock. You have to cross a shallow seawater in order to reach it. If any of your friends on instagram posted a picture of him/her by a temple, this temple is most likely it.
(47) Particularly liked this one because of the location. A lovely lake flanked by mountains.It's a lovely temple on the lake, gorgeous scenery around it. There's an entrance fee to go in. much to experience for the effort to reach the location
(48) We asked our driver to take us here and said we wanted to go somewhere after to watch the sunset and have a drink.  The temple setting is fantastic perched on the precipice of a cliff with a long wall you can walk along to gain different views of the temple setting. Nothing much to see or learn here but a great view to soak in. A lot of drivers like to take you places that suit them to drink coffee, smoke and chat so we interrupted yet another coffee and asked to be taken to a cliff where we could view the sunset and have a drink. Not sure where we were but took a left out of temple car park and another left soon after walked down about 120 steps and didn't look promising but then started heading back up to a cluster of shops and bars. Elevated above the surf breaks this was an amazing spot for a cold drink and awesome view.  To top it off we saw orca cruising the coast. Very special
(49) Perched on a cliff top is this Hindu temple. Since you are not allowed into the temple you end up seeing only what you can from the ground. It's so nice to see the waves spraying all  around. During high tides the sea comes in and the temple is cut off from the mainland. Also there is a walk along the cliff to the right of the temple from where you get to see beautiful sunset on a clear day.  Best would be to time the visit so that you get the sunset also. There is a market place between the temple and car park where you can haggle hard.
(50) Was nice, nothing to crazy.\nYou couldn't really walk into anything as it seemed all the bits you would like to get a closer look were only open for worship.\n\nNice views, but if you were pushed for time I wouldn't bother.
(51) It is not everyday that you see a temple on a lake on top of the mountain with a background of another mountain.
(52) if you have a chance to arrive before all the crowds you can experience really unusual views - a temple in the ocean, it's the best in bali, an icon
(53) This temple stands on the high wall of rock and one can catch a panoramic and beautiful view of the sea. Don't try to risk your life by climbing the fence just to make a great pose of yours. And also be prepared to bath the sun and get sweat in order to reach there and then back again. Once a while Balinese Hindu devotees will come and offer their offering there to their god at the top area. This is considered a great opportunity to watch the very unique local traditions. For me, I will surely treasured my memories by having a chance to visit here.
(54) Have visited the temple earlier today with mu husband. \nPeople at the entrance gave us a special cloth that Balinese people wear (sarong) and we wore it so we go into the temple.\nI must admit that it was very beautiful.\nHave in mind that if you go there for the sunset it is literally very crowded.\nBest time to visit is approximately 2 hours before the sunset.
(55) Very nice at sunset but also very crowded. A must see in Bali. Probably the nicest temple on the island.
(56) Lots of tourist.   It’s a small town in its own right.   The temple was ok, which happens to be on the ocean.   Maybe we were templed out as we saw this at the end of our trip.  The fruit stand had the best durian though
(57) We got a driver from Nusa Dua to take us to the temple at noon on a Tuesday. It took about an hour to get there and traffic was very busy.  Entrance was 60,000 rupe each and 5, 000 rupe to park. There are several temples to see and many areas to walk. You can get a blessing at the base of the main temple in the water and a small donation is recommended.\nIt was a very hot day and there are many shady areas to cool down.\nThere are tons of shops and eateries around the temples. The prices are highly inflated and they will easily drop the prices. BUT, the reduced prices are still very inflated according to our driver.\nThere are toilets at the entrance and within. The ones at the entrance were ok and had soap at the sink.
(58) The fantastic Architecture, unfortunately too many nasty shops in parking area.  The statues and pools are fantastic.  The Hindu sculpture is superb.  You could easily take half a day wandering about taking pictures.
(59) One of the best temples we've visited so far in Bali.  Right next to the lake.  Very peaceful and quiet.  And when we went yesterday, it was too not crowded at all.  Definitely worth going there.
(60) No image can convey the real beauty of this place, so it attracts visitors from all over the world. Many couples and honeymooners have their pictures taken there. If you travel with children there's a small playground near so there is something for everyone. Many vendors are near but they are outside the parking lot and not a lot of hassle. There are also small boats so you can see the temple from the water side.
