12 Ubud Photo Tours We Would Book Again

1.Bali Instagram: Gate of Heaven Temple Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 737 reviews · from $85Our pick

Spend about 10 hours exploring Bali’s temple gardens, waterfall, rice terraces, and jungle swing with a private driver-guide and hotel pickup. The day includes Lempuyang Temple’s famous gate, Tirta Gangga’s spring-fed pools, a local buffet lunch, and photo stops. Guides such as Berata, Bagus, and Komang Pi have led the route, though assignments can vary. Expect an early start, long drives, and possible waits at the temple.

“We had Bagus as our guide. He was a safe driver, timely, and a great guide to have. You’d be lucky to get him! 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…”
