Bali’s charm is simply irresistible, with its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and countless unique attractions. Among its hidden gems, North Bali stands out as a peaceful getaway where nature and culture blend seamlessly. Ready to explore? Let me take you through some must-visit spots—the majestic Handara Gate, the sprawling Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, the mesmerizing Tanah Lot Temple, and the serene Ulun Danu Beratan Temple. Buckle up for an unforgettable adventure!
Imagine walking up to a massive, intricately carved stone structure flanked by misty mountains and lush greenery. That’s Handara Gate for you—a true symbol of Bali’s charm. It’s not just another Instagram hotspot; it’s a place that feels like a doorway to tranquility and tradition.
Handara Gate’s architecture reflects Bali’s spiritual essence, symbolizing the connection between the earthly and the divine.

The cool mountain breeze and soft sunlight create a serene setting perfect for reflecting on Bali’s harmonious balance of culture and nature. If you’re a fan of quiet moments and scenic wonders, Handara Gate won’t disappoint.
A short drive from Handara Gate leads to the stunning Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, where nature and human creativity meet in perfect harmony. Imagine endless green waves of rice paddies cascading down the hills—this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a breathtaking tribute to Bali’s ancient Subak irrigation system.
No trip to North Bali is complete without visiting Tanah Lot Temple. Perched on a rocky outcrop surrounded by crashing waves, it’s one of Bali’s most iconic landmarks. After soaking in the peaceful vibes of Handara Gate, the dramatic scenery of Tanah Lot will add another layer of awe to your journey.
Nestled beside Lake Beratan, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple offers a serene escape framed by misty mountains.

I want to give a shoutout to Sandit and Dian who were our drivers and tour guide during the Jeep experience, their hospitality and warmth made everything so memorable! Would totally come back Bali and have them again to be my tour guides! ❤️
専属ドライバーでキンタマーニツアーに参加しましたが、とても良かったです!!運転手はMadeBoyさんで、とても親切で移動の時も色々話をしてくれてとても楽しかったです!! インドネシアのことも教えてくれて、ありがとうございました!!
Made boyさんに案内してもらいました。とてもフレンドリーなガイドさんで質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ、バリのいろんなことを教えてもらえました。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえて、素敵な思い出の写真がたくさんできました。 英語でにやりとりが難しくても翻訳機などを使ってコミュニケーションを取ってくれます。
BEST BALI TOUR EVER – ALL THANKS TO MADIA JR! Just got back from our Bali trip and I have to rave about our tour guide, Madia Jr. From the moment we met, he made us feel like old friends – so warm, kind, and genuinely happy to show us around Bali. He went above and beyond in every way: making sure we stayed safe crossing busy streets, pointing out hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, and he was absolutely fantastic as our personal photographer—every single shot turned out perfect. (seriously, all our vacation pics are frame-worthy now!). If you’re looking for a tour guide who cares as much about your experience as you do, look no further – he’s the one! Highly, highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali!
Please request driver Jero Pica. He is a young and passionate local. If you want to learn about Balinese language, local culture, and customs, make sure to ask the travel agency to assign him to you. And of course, his photography skills are top-notch as well! - 請指定司機Jero Pica，他是個年輕、充滿熱情的當地年輕人，如果想了解峇里島語言、在地文化與民情，請務必要向旅行社指定由他服務。當然，他的拍照技術也是一流！
We had a wonderful trip to East Bali thanks to our tour guide, Mr Pica. He was very responsible and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited, which made the experience even more interesting. He was friendly, helpful, and kind throughout the entire journey. We truly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bali.
We’re a family of four and booked the Ubud Sightseeing Private Tour with Pisan Bali Tour. Our driver Kadek was excellent — very friendly, helpful, and patient throughout the trip. He shared great local insights, made sure we were comfortable, and took us to beautiful spots around Ubud. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommended for families who want a relaxed and enjoyable day exploring Bali!
Superb tour! Both Madia & Dian are friendly, very accommodating & they take really great photos. One of the best tours I’ve joined. Definitely above expectations 👍🏼
Keliwon is the best driver and guide in Bali. He took me to Mt.Batur and some of famous temples. Not only did that, but also he can took nice photos and videos. I could spend wonderful moments even though solo trip. Thank you so much!
광고 없이 한국어 어플 없이 챗지피티 검색해서 당일 왓츠앱으로 예약해서 이용한 후기입니당 일단 가격 합리적이고 막 더 받으려고 하지 않어요 ㅎㅎ 가이드도 굉장히 친절했어서 굉장히 만족합니다 또 이용하고싶어요 ㅋㅋ 계획 없이 발리 왓다가 첫날 갠차나서 4일 내내 이용한 곳입니다 특히 드라이버중에 ‘제로’ 드라이버님 넘 갠차나요 좀 더 잘되길 바라며 남깁니당! 차 종류와 상관없이 운전 거칠게 하는 분들 여기에 많은데 와이프 임신했는데 편안히 갈 정도로 편안하게 부드럽게 잘 했어요 ㅎㅎ
A great trip with tour guide Keliwon and thanks for helping me to take lots of great pictures. Hope can come back to Bali and try other local tours soon
keliwon boy and agus made the best trip for me on the jeep tour of Mt. Batur. They were very helpful and always ready to help if we had any problems. If they are in charge of your tour, you can be sure that it will be the best trip ever.
Experiencia muy buena. Estuvimos con Kadek todo el día y la subida en Jeep con Wayan. Un 10 para los dos
They can cover all the must-visit spots in Bali, with very reasonable prices and a super convenient service.
It's a nice experience with ATV and Sunset Cafe, and special thanks to our friendly driver Jero :))
Gede Mara is friendly and safe driver. The ride was smooth and I could ask any questions easily.
Excellent! We love the trip - enjoyed it a lot!! Wayan is professional in photographing and driving!! Highly recommended!!!
早朝からランプヤン寺院に連れていってくださり、各スポットで素敵な写真もたくさん撮ってもらい、最高のツアーでした！Mr.Picaさんはとてもフレンドリーに話しかけてくれて、楽しかったです！ありがとうございました。
Great sunrise experience. Our guide Dian is handsome and super funny. He took a lot of great photos of us. 💯highly recommend👍🏻🇮🇩
Gede Mara was a kind and friendly driver. He also helped take photos, so we had memories at each tourist spot.
Highly recommend Pisan Bali Tour for anyone planning a trip to Mt. Batur! Our drivers, Mr. Keliwon and Mr. Wayan, were incredibly kind, professional, and provided excellent service throughout the journey. They made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Truly grateful for them🙏🏻
Amazing guide Wayan, enjoyed his company a lot, super sweet and helpful, clicked great pictures for us too! 10/10 experience with him
Unforgettable Sunrise Experience – Exceptional Service! I recently joined Jro Sana's sunrise tour, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured our safety while making the experience enjoyable. Waking up early to hike under the stars and witness the sunrise from the summit was truly magical.
We had such an awesome time with all the fun activities like jeep tour at Mount Batur and the black lava, brunch at Akasa Café Kintamani, and riding ATVs. The photos turned out amazing, thanks to our cool jeep driver, Wayan! Big thanks as well to Keliwon, our super nice driver for the whole trip. And of course, huge thanks to Pisan Bali for arranging everything so well!
Perfect!!!!!! Very good hospitality, perfect in communication, nice photography skills
The operator was incredibly friendly and flexible, even accommodating last-minute requests that came with additional charges. The Jeep operators (Nyoman, Wayan & Agus) were also amazing—super helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to take beautiful photos for us and even suggested great poses. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely worth every cent paid!
J'ai passé une journée exceptionnelle avec le guide Keliwon. Il était très sympathique, souriant et m'a servi de photographe personnel pour la journée. Nous avons visité des cascades, participé à une dégustation de café, admiré des rizières et j'ai fait une purification au Titra Empul, c’était une expérience magique. Je recommande vivement.
Although our original booking for an atv tour was rerouted due to some issues, Pisan rearranged everything for us and still gave us an excellent experience!
It was absolutely stunning, having breakfast with this beautiful sunrise, that’s a must do! To be fair getting up at 2am was hard, but totally worth it. We had an amazing tour guide, Kadek made sure we were safe and helped us so much by hiking up and down. Our safety and wellbeing was her priority. We had so much fun with her and felt very comfortable and safe 🙂
I randomly bought the Mt Batur & Tukad Cepung waterfall tour voucher from KKday. At first i was very worried about the route will be very crowded and the photos will turn bad because i am very particular in photoshooting. But!! After the tour I am so so so satisfied and happy with Pisan Bali tour and want to express my gratitude to everyone of this tour, especially our driver Kelewon boy and Jeep tour guide Wayan! 🥹💙 They are so helpful, friendly and most importantly, they can take very nice photos and videos! Look at the raw photo that they took for us, it’s soo nice even without editing! 😍 Not only that, they take care of our bags and belongings, take care of us during the entire tour and making sure we have our photos/videos nicely taken. Without second doubt, i will definitely come again and book their tour service at other tourist attraction spot.Highly recommended!
I joined the Mt. Batur trekking tour with Pisan Bali Tour and had an amazing experience. I first saw the Jeep sunrise tour, but once I found out they also had a trekking option, my boyfriend was super excited and we changed our plan! I contacted them on WhatsApp to ask for a customized trip since we had a driver for the day. The conversation was smooth, the price was reasonable, and we ended up visiting Mt. Batur, Tirta Empul, and Tegalalang Rice Terrace—all in one day! Our driver Pica texted us the day before, which made us feel more comfortable. He picked us up at 2:30 am, was super friendly and drove very safely. He didn’t talk too much when we were tired but was always happy to chat when we felt more awake. We had lots of questions about Bali and he answered everything patiently. We felt really relaxed and safe with him. At Mt. Batur, we met our trekking guide Kadek, a petite and super sweet girl. The hike started out fine, just really dark (a headlamp is helpful!). After halfway, the trail became steeper and more like climbing than hiking. Kadek held my hand for the rest of the way and kept checking if we were okay. She had even lived in Taiwan before, so we had a lot to talk about, which made the climb even more fun. She always reminded us that “it’s your trip, so go at your own pace.” The view at the top of Mt. Batur was stunning—something you don’t see anywhere else. If you're going, bring a jacket and wear long pants even if it’s hot in the day. The volcanic rocks are slippery—I even fell once! We were the last to get back to the car (thanks for waiting, Pica 😅). After the hike, we had breakfast at AKASA Cafe with a great view of the volcano. Then we visited Tirta Empul, where we learned about Balinese Hindu culture. Pica explained everything clearly and helped take great photos. We skipped the cleansing ritual because of the long line—if it’s a must-do, go early! Last stop was Tis Cafe near Tegalalang Rice Terrace. It started raining, but the view was still beautiful—quiet and romantic. It was a nice way to end the day after the tough hike. Huge thanks to Pica and Kadek—you both made our Bali trip unforgettable. Your English was great, and we felt so taken care of. Highly recommend Pisan Bali Tour for anyone planning their trip! Our itinerary: Mt. Batur trekking AKASA Cafe Tirta Empul Tegalalang Rice Terrace + lunch at Tis Cafe Pica and Kadek, wishing you both all the best! ❤️
Had a very nice trip with baruna the taxi driver , and after that ive seen very nice sunrise with the jeep tour!
I had an amazing tour today with Wayan our tour guide for the Sunrise Jeep tour/Akasa coffee. Wayan has been very friendly, funny and professional when taking us to see the spectacular view of the sunrise and the lava field of Mt Batur. I had learnt lots of knowledge about the mountain as well as getting lots of great photos from Wayan. Highly recommended tour guide!!!.
Had Wayan as our tour guide. Fantastic service and knowledgeable, informative. Also great photographer as well
Had the most amazing time taking photos and witnessing the sunrise in Mount Batur with Pisan Bali Tour. Huge shoutout to Wayan & Dian, make the whole experience a 10/10 ❤️. As for the transportation, Santana also gave us a very comfortable drive to Kintamani and back to our hotels. Much appreciated and if i ever come back to visit will definitely rebook with them.
この会社のツアーでジープサンライズツアーに行きました。ホテルへの送迎と朝食付きでとても安く参加できて、皆さん親切に写真や動画を撮って下さりました。日本人の方にもおすすめです！ジープサンライズツアー、参加するか悩みましたが参加して本当に本当によかったです！めっちゃいい景色を見れました。送迎の間もたくさん話しかけて、寺院での写真や動画もたくさん撮ってくださり、Keliwon boyさんありがとうございます😊 またバリ島に行く際にはこのツアー会社を利用します☀️
Good service Radin was our driver and he is so nice and take a good photo😁
必须给满分💯！感谢Pisan Bali Tour (Sandhya Artha)，我们订的是Mt Batur jeep tour, 两位司机让我们感受到了当地人的淳朴和善良，详细的解说和完美照片，还给我们抓拍了很多家人之间的互动，太可爱了。他们不只是把这当成工作，他们真正想办法让我们拥有一段难忘的旅程。下次来巴厘岛，我一定会再订他们的活动👍
