About this experience
Your journey begins at 8:00 AM with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, followed by a scenic drive to the Blue Lagoon. Nestled along Bali’s tranquil eastern coast, this idyllic cove is renowned for its calm, crystal-clear waters, making it a top choice for families and beginner snorkelers.
After your underwater adventure, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a restaurant, where you can savor fresh flavors amid peaceful surroundings. Next, travel to the majestic Lempuyang Temple, often called the “Gates of Heaven.” Perched high on the slopes of Mount Lempuyang in East Bali, this ancient and sacred site is one of the island’s oldest and most revered temples.

Detailed itinerary
1
A great highlight in Padangbai for beach lovers is Blue Lagoon, a small bay northeast of the seaport with only a 60m stretch of white sand, from which you can snorkel right off from. Divers take a five-minute boat ride from Padang Bai to a dive spot of the same name, where large Napoleon wrasse, several kinds of reef shark, stonefish, moray and blue ribbon eels, nudibranchs, rays, squids and octopuses, giant frogfish and cuttlefish are among the marine diversity. Another beach, often dubbed a ‘hidden beach’ due to its location between small hilly capes, is Bias Tugel, a 130m long strip southwest of the Padang Bai port, and which also offers calm and blue waters most times of the year. Here you can relax on the even sand or under shades of parasols with beach loungers. The beach that shares the bay with the seaport is not so busy, especially on its eastern end, and you can also enjoy fairly good swimming and snorkeling here, too.

Lempuyang Temple is believed to predate the majority of Hindu temples on the island. Definitely a highlight on any travel itinerary for the fit and adventurous, the main temple lies at 1,175m above sea level, up on the peak of the namesake Mount Lempuyang in East Bali. The heights are reachable via a steep staircase of over 1,700 steps, with attractions along the way including several other temples and hordes of grey long-tailed macaques that inhabit the surrounding cool mountain forests.

The gardens of Tirta Gangga Water Palace show a unique mix of Balinese and Chinese architecture. The grounds of the water garden (ca 1.2 ha.) consists of three separate complexes each with ponds and many sculptures. The complex on the lowest level has two large ponds and a water tower. At the second complex (middle level) of the Bali water palace are the swimming pools. The third level houses the main complex with the country home of the former Raja.
