He took the time to teach us about Indonesian culture while we waited for our turn at the Temple. Make sure to book the 4 am trip. It’s early but worth it as it will minimize the amount of time you have to wait. Bagus also let us play our music and we had a jam session in the car on the way to activities. This trip was very well planned out, and Bagus was a wonderful guide to spend the day with! We highly recommend…”

We originally booked the tour for 4:00 a.m. and were informed that the pickup would be at 4:30 a.m. Because of that, we didn’t catch the sunrise at the temple and arrived around 6:30 a.m., when there were already some lines for photos.
