About this tour
A nine-hour private exploration of Bali's eastern highlands by vintage VW Safari, taking in Lempuyang Temple's dramatic clifftop setting, the water gardens at Tirta Gangga, and the coastal stretch at Virgin Beach. You'll drive through rice paddies and village back roads with a knowledgeable local driver, stopping at Tenganan to observe traditional Balinese life. The open-sided car keeps you connected to the landscape—wind, light, and local rhythms included.
Highlights
- Lempuyang Temple perched high above valleys, unmissable photo moment
- Tirta Gangga's tiered pools and manicured gardens, peaceful swimming
- Virgin Beach's quiet sands, far from cruise-ship crowds
- Tenganan village walk, see weaving and traditional daily routines
- Vintage open-top VW, private group only, scenic back roads
- All entry fees and lunch (vegetarian available) covered
What to expect
The day starts early with pickup from your accommodation. Expect winding mountain roads—the VW's open sides mean you feel every turn and gradient shift. Lempuyang requires a walk uphill to the temple; the payoff is a view across terraced slopes. Tirta Gangga is gentler: a stroll around formal gardens with pools deep enough to swim in. Lunch breaks at a local warung serving Indonesian staples. The coastal stop at Virgin Beach is brief but refreshing. Tenganan, a traditional village where few tourists venture, shows older ways—looms, communal spaces, no motorised traffic. By late afternoon, you're heading back down.
Good to know
Not suited to those with heart or breathing problems. Bring sunscreen, swimwear, a towel and camera. Wear smart casual—no formal wear or beachwear needed for temples. Timings flex to suit you. Children under two travel free. The VW seats 5–6 people; it's your private vehicle for the day.
