Visit Besakih Temple, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and Cepung Waterfall on a flexible Bali tour with guides, transfers, and optional extras.

“Activities were FANTASTIC. First we visited the waterfall. The guide Ardana took us to another waterfall, Tegenungan Waterfall, because a road was closed ; the bridge had collapsed. Ardana was very patient, told a lot of information and took a lot of nice pictures of us. Sitting together at Omma Bali (SUPER view) for a drink so we could take the elevator and nog have to walk up all the stairs again. Then the rice fields and the swing!! GREAT. After that a delicious lunch was arranged by Ardana at a beautiful location. Finally to the Besakih Temple. Very nice but you get a temporary different guide there and he's…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 20 reviews · 10 hours · from $42

Explore Penglipuran, Besakih Temple, a scenic Balinese lunch, and Tukad Cepung Waterfall on a private 10-hour tour from Bali.

“Kadek was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide, took me to many places of interest and as I was the only person on the tour, there was some flexibility in the itinerary. It was a shame about the weather, but there were torrential downpours everyday while I was in Ubud so I had no choice. Definitely pick a day where the weather conditions are more favourable, especially to see the waterfall.”

13.Mount Agung Sunrise Trekking Tour via Besakih Temple

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · 12 - 16 hours · from $60

Climb Mount Agung from Besakih for a demanding sunrise trek, island views, volcanic slopes, and a private English-guided experience.

“Firstly it was really difficult - I’ve run ultramarathons and have climbed one other 3,000m+ peak and this was up there in difficulty. Part of the challenge was not having the right equipment - you need a big bag to carry 3L+ of water and huge snack/lunch boxes. You could really do with specialist climbing/hiking shoes thatre good with slippy volcanic rock. And cold weather and rain protection gear is a must. The tour should do more to let you know about this before the trip.”
