After, we’ll head to the majestic Tanah Lot temple (meaning Land in the Sea), where you’ll find the temple perched on a rock, surrounded by the ocean and full of spiritual significance. We will head back to the hotel around 2 PM and the rest of the day is yours to relax by the pool or catch another sunset before dinner.
