East Bali Full-Day Tour

The famous Gate of Heaven, royal water palaces and a peaceful side of Bali far from the crowds.

🕒 Up to 10 hours👥 1–6 people📍 Hotel pickup included

East Bali is quieter, greener and more regal — home to the Instagram-famous Gate of Heaven at Lempuyang and two beautiful royal water palaces. It's a longer drive, so this full day is priced a little higher, and well worth it.

Good to know

East Bali Tour questions

The east is further from the tourist hubs, so it's a longer drive and a longer day on the road. The trade-off is far fewer crowds and some of Bali's most spectacular sights.

There can be a queue for the famous photo later in the day. That's why Awan suggests an early start — arrive first and the wait is short.
