History
Bali’s temples and rice terraces grow from a syncretic Hindu culture and the Subak cooperative irrigation system, which organizes water distribution around ritual responsibilities.
Conservation
Visitors should use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid feeding wildlife, and respect temple rituals and local land-management practices to minimize environmental and cultural impact.
Reserve your spot on the Tour Full Day In Bali today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Dress for temples
Carry a lightweight sarong or long skirt and shoulders covered — many temples require modest clothing and will deny entry otherwise.
Protect belongings from monkeys
Keep bags zipped and phones secured at temples like Uluwatu and Tanah Lot; macaques are skilled at grabbing loose items.
Start early or go late for light
Traffic and midday crowds peak around noon — aim for sunrise at highland sites or late afternoon at coastal cliffs for better light and fewer people.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
If you plan to swim or snorkel, choose oxybenzone-free sunscreen to protect coral ecosystems around Padang Padang and Amed.
Lightweight sarong or cover-up
Required for temple entry and useful for sun protection.
Sturdy sandals or walking shoes
Grippy shoes help on stairs, wet rocks and village paths.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local coral when swimming or snorkeling.
