(1) This was a very unique experiance seeing a beautifully constructed Temple built on a rock. When the tide goes out the Monks have acess to retain the temple and provide their offering. Once the tide comes in there is no acesss to the main land. Such a pretty place to visit, we really enjoyed appreciating eveythiny Tanah Lot Temple had to offer.
(2) My wife and I visit Tanah Lot Temple and markets every time we go to Bali. This year there was an extremely low tide and it was a doddle to get across to the temple - previous trips have seen crashing waves and heavy undertow on occasions making it impossible to access the temple itself. I am told that you can only ascend to the top of the temple if you wear a sarong. I didn't have one so I didn't test it out.\nI did however touch the Sacred snake in its cave. There are actually two of them and they are banded sea snakes, At the encouragement of the handler I did actually touch it and was told that I would have good luck. It didn't bite me so I guess that was lucky to start off with. All sea snakes are very venomous. There is a small fee to enter the cave and touch the snake/s but it is miniscule. (5000 rupiah)\nAfterwards we visited the reptile park which is down a small lane behind the market stall just at the head of the stairs. Here you can see pythons in various sizes (they all looked big to me until the keeper took us to see some truly BIG ones at over 5 metres in length and as thick as a small child's body. My friend had a picture taken with a  3 metre  python draped around her neck and another with a 2 metre python and an owl perched on her upraised arm. She is a lot braver than I am. The photos turned out very well and were printed on the spot, framed in a cardboard cover and then sealed in a plastic bag for carrying..\n\nWe didn't do a lot of looking around in the market as our driver was getting a bit impatient but I would recommend a trip to this attraction to anyone who goes to Bali. The scenery is fantastic and there are lots of places to eat and have a drink if you want to laze away a few hours Balinese style.
(3) I visited Tanah Lot to watch the sunset in late September. The tide was out, which created lovely pools in the rock that reflected the sky. Nice big waves were rolling in. There were hundreds of people there but the beach is quite large so it was still possible to have space and get some nice photos. Definitely recommend. Next time I’d like to visit at high tide. I was not able to access the temple (I’m not sure if that is even possible, it’s quite small). There were lots of shops on the walk down but I didn’t feel overly harassed to buy anything. I think entry was 65,000 or so so have cash before you arrive. All in all a positive experience and a gorgeous sunset.
(4) Tanah Lot does look amazing with the bright orange sunset as a backdrop to the Temple. But as i have mentioned earlier, anytime of the day is good, as you walk around the temple, the experience and feeling are different. The grounds are quieter and peaceful, get less touristy. Taking photos will be a breeze compared to taking one during the evening, packed with people.
(5) Tanah Lot Temple its nice place to visit in the evening and seeing sunset, it's very crowded place even out of season. What I did like that minutes after sunset hundreds of bats did fly out of the cave that was something :) as I didn't expected that one. For pro photographers it is good place to take good shots.
(6) We were not that impressed with Tanah Lot Temple, which is considered one of Bali’s most important landmarks. This is famous for its unique offshore setting and sunset backdrops. \n\nWe reached this place in the morning, our first stop from Hilton Hotel a drive of at least 90 minutes. The place was very crowded; the climate was hot and humid. \n\nFrom a distance this ancient Hindu shrine perched on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves looks good. The onshore site has smaller shrines alongside restaurants, shops and a cultural park presenting regular dance performances. \n\nWhen we reached the Temple it was low tide and we cross to view the rock base where the legendary ‘guardian’ sea snakes dwell in crevices around the Tirta Pabersihan fountain. \n\nAlthough we could not enter the temple grounds, we enjoyed the panoramic view. \n\nThough nothing great as compared to Temples in India worth a visit.
(7) Beautiful serene place and one to definitely visit if you are in Bali. Sadly our guide was unable to speak any English so we had to rely on Wikipedia for the history. One slight jiggle why oh why do tourists agree to pay for pictures with amazing wild animals. One guy was carting a beautiful yellow cobra around and morons were agreeing to pay for the picture. At the royal palace another man had a mongoose and was doing the same. But overall Tanah Lot is one not to miss. Without a doubt it cataract for mass tourism with the shops warungs etc
(8) This is a must see in Bali...you feel very spiritual as soon as you see the temple...it is absolutely stunning... the Balinese people are very welcoming to visitors...we hired a driver to take us from Legian Beach to Tanah Lot...you have to choose your time as the traffic can be hectic at peak times...all part of the Bali experience
(9) Temple Tanah Lot is one of the main attractions in Bali. The temple is located on a rock off the island and apparently reachable by foot at low tide. However, when we there waves were huge and tide was high hence we watched it from a distance with hundreds of other tourists. The place is in fact very crowded and consists mostly of stalls selling the usual stuff one finds in Bali. We were not too impressed with this site visit. One of those one wants to tick off the list. Would not visit again.
(10) I love this place every time I go to Bali I go to Tanah Lot.It is so beautiful.The markets ther are a great place to pick up some good bargains.Some things are cheaper here than other places.
(11) As any other traveler you always have the thrust to explore more and more. Having said that, i came across a new destination this year - Bali. I always used to hear from others that many foreigners stay in Bali. Once anyone stays in Bali , will wish to remain there forever and ever..That's a true saying for all obvious reasons.\nJust to start with my trip, Tanha lot temple was the first place to choose to see after so many good reviews about the place.Not to much of surprise, the place met the expectation and raised the bar for Bali in my eyes.\nSoothing atmosphere and sunset view is the best thing you can ask for. All the tiredness went to blues after looking at the ambiance.\nUsually, people are heard complaining about the google photos of places v/s the reality. TanhaLot is exactly the same as seen in \ so call photo shoped pictures of Google. Also last but not the least was the show stopper dinner at roof top sea facing hotel at the destination itself. Sea breeze along with soft mesmerizing music is the best thing you can ask for a day. For me , all the destinations of Bali -TanhaLot temple, Ulluwatu Temple, Belguda ,Kintamani,Kuta Beach,Nusa Dua ,Sunset Dinner Cruise all were 10 on 10. Would strongly recommend everyone to travel to Bali and visit these must go places"
(12) We had Bali Tour guide take us to Tanah Lot Temple. Truely beautiful place and a must see when visiting Bali. Breath taking views.
(13) What a beautiful experience. We went on a half day trip only to Tanah Lot Temple, really helped us enjoy the experience. I rushed and not far to travel, We had the perfect amount of time to enjoy the gardens and temple before the sunset. I would highly recommend this half day tour to the temple only as it is a nice change of pace from other full day tours. Our driver Agus was most lovely, taking photos and explaining things to us. We enjoyed the market also, bought some original art directly from the artist and then enjoyed the relaxing sunset till the very end. So glad we did it!
(14) Located about 30 Km away from Denpasar, Tanah Lot Temple was purportedly built in the 16th century, in the honor of the Hindu sea god Baruna. The temple itself is relatively difficult to visit, as it is located on a rock formation about 300 meters from the shore and is accessible by foot only on low tide. As others have mentioned, even you are able to make it to the temple, chances are you find it closed. However, there are a few small open restaurants on the cliff west of the temple, which offer wonderful views of the temple itself and the surrounding ocean. It is one of the important Balinese temples, has an amazing location and is very much worth a visit.
(15) Tanah Lot is a Balinese Hindu Temple on the rock and the seawater encircles it when the sea water is tide. It is looked to be adrift in on the ocean and owns the magnificent view of sunset in the late afternoon. There are several points to see this temple with all amazing view. At this temple, we can find other Hindu temples like that make it a holy place in Bali. There are sea snakes dwell the cave in front of Tanah Lot Temple which you can see with small donation and those of them are believed the holy snake by the local community.
(16) Tanah lot is a nice place for couples who wanted to have their previous wedding shots. Nice ocean in the background. However it is very crowded at certain timing especially in the late afternoon as the tour buses will bring tourists for the sunset.
(17) Tanah Lot is the one of the most beautiful places in Bali. There's a lot of people at the sunset, but that's a very big place, so we didn't feel IT crowded.\nEntrance fee is 60k.
(18) Tanah Lot Temple it's a must if You are in Bali.It's unique place with its architecture and atmosphere and the surroundings,but very,very crowded.
(19) Tanah Lot Temple is one of those great places to say you have visited in Bali, like Kuta, Ubud and Uluwatu Temple.  You can't enter the temple, but you can certainly take photos outside, if you can negotiate the Japanese with their selfie sticks.  You must pay for parking, 15000rp for a motorcycle of 30000rp for a car, then there is an entry fee of about 20000rp for adults and 10000rp for kids.\n\nBefore you get to the temple you can haggle for almost anything you will never use again at the large markets and eat at many of the mediocre restaurants in the area.\n\nThe trip to Tanah Lot is about 20 minutes from Canggu or about 40 minutes from Seminyak by motorcycle, much long by car.\n\nDue to its isolation you probably want to spend a bit of time here but not sure what you would do once you have taken your photos.  Still a rather inspiring place, especially at dusk when the sun is setting over the ocean behind.
(20) We headed to Tanah Lot Temple late in the day, wanting to capture the essence of the area, at sunset. Whilst we captured some great photos, I cannot say they were \amazing\" - Mother Nature was not in the mood to be photographed.\n\nI fully appreciate this is a tourist hot spot, so I was expecting a madding crowd. However, it became really difficult to get a decent vantage point for a photo, as everyone else was trying to do the same thing. To be fair, I think I might have ruined a few other photos, just trying to get my own!\n\nThe temple was really difficult to enjoy, so this visit ended up being a little 'under-whelming' for me. We visited in September, which is also not a madly touristy time of year. I dread to think what it must be like in the height-of-the-season? The upside of this might be that Mother Nature might be a little more accommodating with her sunsets!"
(21) This is the one place we visit every trip we live the culture the markets the Temple and the snake park. The holy snake is at the bottom of the steps on a cave there is a donation box there and you can touch the holy snake. You can Criss the water and enter the temple at low tide so make sure you check the tides before going if this is something you want to do. Tanah Lot is the snake temple around the surrounding paths you will have opportunities to hold and have your photo take with large pythons. There is a snake park which has lots of pythons along with birds, bats and lizards very cool to visit get the big python out for a group photo. The markets are old school and most sellers are friendly and not pushy. There are surf shops and Knick knack shops along with places to eat. Sunset is pretty amazing awesome for photos .
(22) Having already visited Tanah Lot previously, my driver took me here before. Situated opposite a mosque in a mostly Muslim area, the temple sits beautifully in front of the lake. Gardens are gorgeous and there are a few retail shops but not swamped with shops. \nHighly recommend visiting here
(23) If you are one for beautiful photos and views then Tanah Lot is one place to be at. There are markets as well. Means for you to experience what happens at the temple. The beach at Tanah Lot Temple is great. One disadvantage of being at Tanah Lot though - it becomes crowded. A real tourist attraction.
(24) Tanah Lot is the place to visit for viewing sunsets! And very romantic.\nIt gets very busy at this time but definitely worth a look. \nThe temple is beautiful and the views overlook the Indian ocean. \nWe were staying in Kuta and it seemed quite a drive from our hotel which surprised me.
(25) Been here 3 times and all times i got to witness an amazing sunset. Tanah Lot is a must visit in Bali. If you haven't then you truly haven't seen the beauty of Bali. Check out the protector snake at the cave at a small fee. It lived for a few hundreds of years and yet it remains small to its age. Cross the connecting pathway to Tanah Lot during the low tide. There is a spring water as well as priests inside the temple. The tide begin to rise approaching sunset.\n\nCheck out my page for a more detailed review
(26) Tanah Lot was high on our list of places to visit in Bali, but we could have done without it.  Compared to the temples we visited in Ubud and points north, it was a complete tourist trap.  You pay your entrance fee and then have to walk through a long stretch of gift shops until you actually get to see the ocean, let alone the temple.  We were laughing as the announcements directing people where to go sounded almost exactly like the flight announcements in the Jakarta airport - which are non-stop.\n\nThat said, it is a beautiful temple.  Unfortunately we were not able to go inside as there was a ceremony the evening we were there and tourists were not allowed inside.  It was neat to see the Balinese people participating in the ceremony though.  We found a nice, somewhat shady area where we sat and watched the sunset.\n\nIf you are looking for a temple experience in Bali, I would pass on this one.  There are so many other great spots without the crowds!
(27) we went here because of the kecak dance (100K/pax), on stage by sunset. it's entertaining. located near jimbaran bay and garuda wisnu kencana (GWK) statue complex, so perhaps you can visit 3 places in a day.\nfor the view, tanah lot temple is better imo.\nif you're lucky you can see the monkeys as well on the way walking to the uluwatu temple.
(28) Tanah Lot was our last stop for the day. Our tour agent had to drive fast & dodge traffic in order to reach the place before sunset. We were just in time as traffic was really bad.\n\nTanah Lot is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage temple located in Tabanan. In the Balinese language, “Tanah” is earth or land & “Lot” is sea. Hence, “Tanah Lot” simply means “Land in the Sea.” It was built on a 3-acre large rock known as Gili Beo in the 16th century. A religious figure, Dang Hyang Nirartha had spent a night on it & was inspired to build a shrine as well. Apparently, using his magical powers, he moved the rock to the sea & ordered the people to build the temple to worship the Sea God, Bhatara Segara. It is said that Dang Hyang had also created a poisonous snake from his sash which is believed to be living at the base of the rocky island to safeguard the temple. \n\nHowever, the temple’s rock had started to crumble in 1980. A loan was then given by the Japanese government which led to a massive restoration project. More than 1/3 of the offshore rock is now artificial. Also, interestingly enough, there is a cave with a magical spring underneath Tanah Lot. The water is fresh although the temple is surrounded by salt water.\n\nIn order to go to the temple, you will have to cross some dry land during low tide & then climb a footpath hill. We did not attempt to do so as it was already getting dark & the tide was getting high. Also, there were just too many people below the temple. We could only see the rock from afar. However, the view was breath-taking. It was like a postcard picture & we busied ourselves with selfie moments. \n\nThe entrance fee to Tanah Lot is IDR60,000. Parking is also chargeable. It is opened from 7:00 am – 7:00 pm. The best time to visit is probably between 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm or just before sunset as the view is simply stunning. However, expect hoards of people to be there with you, too. Another alternative is to go during low tide. Then, you can walk to the temple using the walkways from the parking lot. I think that is as close as you can get as visitors are not allowed to go in unless it is for worship purposes. In addition, there is a Tanah Lot ceremony held every 210 days following the Balinese calendar, which will take place for 3 days. \n\nWe saw rows & rows of shops for tourists to buy souvenirs & knick-knacks, nearby. My travelling partner had bought a small set of phallic key chains for her friend as they were regarded as popular souvenirs from Bali. As for me, I had bought a few materials for an aunt & cousin. Unfortunately, the shops had started to close after sunset. Thus, we did not have much time to shop which was good. So, come early, shop 1st before you go to the temple or before taking the numerous sunset shots. Don’t forget to buy the local grilled corn & the refreshing coconut water. It will definitely quench your thirst in the heat.
(29) Tanah Lot is Bali’s oldest and most holy temple. Lovely view of the ocean, cliff, sunset. There is a small temple on a hill, it is placed just offshore and the scenery is very magnificent. You should join in a holy spring water ( for Hindus ), it is a part of their tradition. \n\nEspecial, the sunset was beautiful in there - must visiting it when you're in Bali
(30) Tanah lot is a must-see temple in Bali itinerary. Ideally people visit the temple in the evening to catch sunset. But irrespective of the weather and sun conditions, the temple looks majestic sitting atop a black rock cliff with sea waves crashing the shoreline.
(31) Tanah lot is a very beautiful and peaceful place to visit; it’s quite a drive from Seminyak and Kuta, it’s a Balinese Hindu temple on the rock surrounded by the sea, it has natural spring water, the source of which is unknown. The best part of the visit was being blessed by the priest and holy water from the base of Tanah lot it was done by an older Indonesian gentleman. The priest that did the blessing looked very peaceful and he was just so nice. Once the blessing is done you can make a small donation as request by the priest. You are anointed with a liquid and some rice and a flower placed into your hair. After you have had this 'blessing' you are accepted onto the holy land of Tanah Lot.\nThe only downside to this beautiful temple and its surrounding area are the high number of tourists that come to this area. Some areas are really dirty and there is a lot of trash all over the place, be prepared to be bombarded by the Chinese tourist and their selfie stick and they will push you out of the way just to get their picture. There are quite rude towards other people and really have not respect for the Balinese people or anyone else for that matter. \nThe restrooms are pretty disgusting, who knows where the Rp3000 fee goes to as you need to pay to use the restrooms. Obviously the money dosen't go into the maintenance and upkeep of the facilities and you have to pay an extra Rp2000 for a pack of toilet tissue. The cleanest restrooms are next to Gloria Jean Coffee. (if you can take your own toilet paper)\nThe grounds leading to the beach and temple are beautiful and overall a very interesting and beautiful experience I highly recommend a visit to this temple.
(32) Went to Tanah Lot around 4pm. The place was pretty crowded. It was low tide and so people were walking all the way up to the main temple. There wasn't really much to see because the main courtyard was closed off. Wouldn't really recommend Tanah Lot because it's quite a long drive away from most of Seminyak and Kuta, and doesn't really have much to offer beyond a view of the temple in the distance.
(33) Tanah Lot Temple is nice view. Recommended for visiting for Family  and friends also Tours Group. Nice.
(34) An wonderful experience to visit Tanha Lot temple area. One should visit here with enough time in hand, preferably from evening 5 o'clock till complete setting of the Sun to have all best Sun set picture. Don't forget to take picture from opposite side hill area to have wide angle view of temple & it's sorrounding areas along with sea.
(35) Visit to this place makes you wonder about the people in 16th century. They must have been real architects to build temples on a rock overlooking the ocean. Sunset at Tanah Lot is mesmerizing in itself and watching Kechak dance while setting sun is out of fantasy land.
(36) Tanah lot is a temple, situated at the west coast of Bali, The temple is built on a rock that is situated in the sea. The temple is believed to be protected from evil spirits and intruders by venomous snakes . Komang said that snakes come out near the rock in the morning and roam around there, and go back at night fall. This has been happening every day, for years. I have also seen in some TV shows that there are people who come out here with pythons, and let us take photos with them, on us. I was looking forward for this. The sea has to be in low tide for people to go to the temple. We were praying that it be a low tide. But when we reached the place at about 3 PM, the tides were very high. We were a bit disappointed. The tides were very strong. Wonder how the rocks were sustaining such a force. Our guide told us that the rocks were affected by the tides, and it was the Japanese govt which helped to restore the rocks. Most of the rock we see now seems to be artificial rocks. Komang was pretty confident that the tides would be lower if we wait for some time, and he was correct. By about 4:30, the tides got lower. So we all started climbing down to the rock. On our way I could take a photo with a live python on my shoulders. We then climbed down to the Tanah Lot temple. The temple priests helped us cross the sea to the temple. Inside the rock there is a fresh water source, which is considered holy. We drank it and sprinkled on our faces. We gave a small donation to the temple. The priests there applied rice on our forehead, just as we apply sandal paste. We then climbed the rock to the point until where tourists were allowed. The view from there was excellent. On the way back we saw a snake lying down inside the pores of the rock.
(37) You can't come to Bali and not go to Tanah Lot. Crazy thing is- is actually not far. We rented scooters for a week, and this was one of our day trips. Only took 30 minutes from Canggu. We went early. Hate to think what it would be like in the setting sun. Rows and rows of souvenir Kuta style 'shops', like, a city block worth. Maybe time it for low tide, but don't worry, there's still enough magic to see if it's not.
(38) While most major temples in Bali have turned into tourist magnets by now Tanah Lot may be the most prominent one. It is surrounded by little shops and photographers try to get hired to take yout photo while hordes of other tourist walk past you.\n\nThe temple itself is very impressively situated on the coast and under the influence of the tides (like a mini Mont St Michel) so you may have to take the tide into account when visiting. The earlier you go, the quieter it is.
(39) The Tanah Lot temple is located on a large offshore rock with waves of India Ocean crashing onto the shore. One of the iconic seven sea temples in Bali, it is dedicated to Baruna, the sea god. We went there for watching the famed sunset. However, the area was crammed with large number of tourists. Thankfully, we managed to get places to sit from where we watched the beautiful sunset. The vast Indian Ocean with it's majestic waves was a treat to the eyes. If you are able to shut out all the obnoxious noises of the surrounding, the sunset will be a lifetime experience for sure. We even saw the god rays seeping through the clouds as the sun was about to set. It was a remarkable experience. Try to reach there early to get a proper spot to experience the sunset and also to avoid the traffic on the way.
(40) As with Tanah Lot this is one of the high volume visitor destinations but it has been well constructed to cope with large numbers.  There is a short walk through woodland where you may see grey monkeys.  Where it comes to the concourse that leads to the temple straight on, later there are promenade walks out along the coast to your right is a crenelated walkway out to the next headland ( west/north).  It can be exposed without shade so make sure you have protection if full on sun.  The walkways off to the left run along to the other headland (east/ south) through the edges of the forest then inland back to your starting point.  The temple itself is restricted fir worship only but you can see inside and there are a number of routes up and down included shaded huts (very welcome) looking out into the beautiful sea and cliffs. The entrance/ car park has cafes and shops, before you reach the entrance admission kiosk (30k IDR) where there are purple sheets you can use to hide your legs if you’re in shorts. Really enjoyed the experience, I expected lots of tourists ( like me!) and think that it is a well managed experience that allows so many people to view this precious site.
(41) We had sunset and dinner at Tanah Lot Temple as a part of our day tour. Our driver Wayan took us there about 30 minutes before the sunset to walk around and take pictures. There is a small market with everything Bali has to offer. The view is breathtaking. You can also stay for the Fire Dance after the sunset. We had BBQ dinner booked next to Tanah Lot at the restaurant with an ocean  and Temple view. Very memorable experience
(42) We went to Tanah Lot as recommended as things to do when in Bali. \n\nThe view was stunning but we had to walk through a lot of touristy market stalls. It was quite busy and you can’t get very near the temple.
(43) Very windy and great place to view the sunset. Indeed a nice place to take photos. \nDo arrange for a two way transport for those intending to visit Tanah Lot. Unless you do not mind to pay a little more for a private transport (fixed price written on a chart) to get back to the town if you just arrange for a one way transport.
(44) We got to Tanah Lot a bit before sunset and it as an amazing view watching the sun go down on the Indian Ocean! There were tourists, like any other place, but the temple sits on two sides that you can definitely find a small section for yourself to just meditate with the sounds of the ocean waves and breeze in the air. As with most attractions, there is a fee for entrance which unfortunately I cannot recall at this time, but I believe it was equivalent to less that C$20. However I definitely think it’s worth the visit especially if you’ll be in south Bali. Note that based on the tide, you may not be able to walk to the temple, but we got lucky on a low tide day and were able to see the temple and a small prayer ritual going on\n\nWe stayed in Ubud for a few days and when driving down to Seminyak, asked our driver to stop off at Tanah Lot on the way. Would definitely recommend a visit 10/10.
(45) We've been to Bali a few times now, and always take a trip to Tanah Lot Temple. There's just something about it.... One you're out of the busy streets it's nice to sit back and enjoy the view. Transport is reasonable and the driver is happy to wait for you to get fares both ways, even if it's a couple of hours.\n\nMarkets/shopping is relaxed and drinks at sunset reasonable. Only a couple of dollars for entry as well.
(46) Tanah lot is a beautiful temple out on the water. On low tide it is a good experience to walk across, pay a small donation and get blessed. Also the bars and cafes that overlook it are great for afew drinks.\n\nBiggest downside is that for a temple and sacred place you get hassled by absolutely everyone you walk past to buy Bintang tshirts and other junk you'll find in Kuta. Was a little disappointed with that but otherwise it was a great experience!
(47) We went to Tanah Lot in the late afternoon to catch the sunset. The temple is at the beach and its access depends on the tides. In our case the tides were low and we could walk toward the temple. (Wear convenient shoes for wet ground). You can get live photos for 2$. After we went for a drink with a breathtaking view. Of the temple, ocean and the sunset.
(48) Did a 3 temple tour today, the last one being Tanah Lot.\nWas a beautiful sunny afternoon, arrived at Tanah Lot around 1715, sunset was due around 1815\nLoads of people, went down to the beach level but soon realised it was not going to be a great sunset view, so climbed the stairs to higher ground where the restaurants are.\nFound a good spot, ordered a couple of coconut drinks and had a relaxing wait for the sunset.\nWas very nice but not spectacular.
(49) I rush to tanah lot to catch the sunset. The beach very crowded with people. Temple and sunset was perfect combination. I enjoying sunset with big wave, very nice beach and beautiful temple. There was plenty shop that sell handicraft or t shirt balinese with reasonable price
(50) We did a day of visiting some of the Bali Temples whilst we had our hire car, this was one of the more popular ones, and we had a lovely day and finished it off with a visit to Tanah Lot Temple. There were lots and lots of people who must have had the same idea.
(51) We went to Tanah Lot first thing in the morning. It was about an hour drive from Seminyak and we arrived at 10AM. At this time the area surrounding the temple was over crowded and frustrating, with vendors pushing souvenirs on you every where you go.\n\nThat being said, the view of the temple from land was beautiful. It was high tide, so we couldn't go out to it, but I can imagine what a sunset would look like and it would be cool to see it in low tide. The crowd was a bit too much for me, however. I'm not sure the best time of day to go unless you can get there earlier than 10AM.
(52) Tanah Lot has its own unique beauty and scenic place to visit. Personally on my opinion the best time to go is during sunset whereby the tides are low which can cross over to visit or pay respect to the temple. During the day which the sun is much stronger and will visit again next time for the sunset trip.
(53) The Tanah Lot Temple is a magical place to go for tourists. The sunset makes for a good photo and the waves crashing over the rocks is amazing.
(54) Likely a very beautiful place, but way too many people (unknowingly went on a 'public holiday' & thousands of tourists from Jakarta at 11am-sunset would have been worse tho). Empty water bottles & rubbish, plus Selfie sticks everywhere-careful they don't knock u or ur kids over the cliff on mainland! Kinda felt like a circus which was a shame. Tide was in so likely would get a better feeling if going when tide is out & can walk across to Temple. \nBizarrely the bamboo restaurant with water feature at the Exit seemed way more peaceful & respectful of the spirituality of the area. Perhaps better to go to a quieter local temple & just buy a postcard of TanahLot at airport😀.\nNonetheless have no expectations & may be pleasantly surprised-probably like most things in life!
(55) Saw the tanah lot temple 4y ago, went back this year and it was still the same but sooooooo much more tourists!!\n\nBali has changed a lot in those 4y, there are so so so many tourist, especially asian ones.\n\nIt is pity because the local people try to exploit it by asking money to see the 'holy snake' at the temple and stuff...\n\nToo crowded if you ask me, rather go to another temple.
(56) We visited tanah lot temple on the advice of our driver... and I'm so delighted we did the views where breathtaking. Standing listening to the waves bash around the rocks was so peaceful, perfect for meditation. Restaurant views where to die for, a total dinners delight. The temple is so picturesque, its exactly like something from a travel guide, you can feel some type of energy when standing down on the rocks near the foot of the temple. Just Wish I had of learned a little bit more about the temple but maybe on my next visit.
(57) Came to Tanah Lot via Tanah Lot Cycling Tours. A fantastic place full of history. Our guides provided insightful information about this place and the surrounding villages
(58) Nice scenic place. But temple was not open for visitors. you can cross over the sea if its low tide and people are helpful while crossing. But after crossing, we were not allowed to go up . So you can just click pics from down of Temple. Since we took sunset tour at tanah lot, we could enjoy nice sunset view by having some good non-veg food in one of restaurants near the temple.
(59) After paying the entry fee which equated to approximately $25 aud for 3 adults 1 child which we didnt think was too bad we continued to park our car and make the trek to the beautiful temple.\n\nHowever that plan was not going to be an easy feet as with most tourist places it was crowded with both people and market stalls with sellers who as usual wouldnt take no for an answer.\n\nAfter what felt like hours (15 minutes max) of no saying no thank you and marching onward we came across 2 poor lewaks chained for tourists to view which certainly pulled on some heartstrings.\n\nWe finally make it the water leading to Tanah Lot itself and are told we must remove our shoes as it is holy water. We do as we were asked and unfortunately sustained cuts to our feet. We make it to tanah lot and after doing a 30 second blessing and being asked for more money we were turned back around and had to do the walk back through the stalls and markets to the car.\n\nTo say we have done it sure why not.\nWould i return... no.\nBut each to there own.
