Review:

Beautifully situated on a craggy cliff top overlooking the ocean, the lovely Tanah Lot Hindu Temple is believed to be one of the six spiritual pillars of Bali, which protect the island from harm. The relentless pounding of waves below the cliff has carved out a series of sea caves, which are rumored to be protected by sea snakes. Visitors to Tanah Lot can approach the outer sanctum of the temple, but only priests and Balinese worshippers are allowed into the inner sanctum. If you are untroubled by the possible presence of real or mythological sea snakes, you can explore the sea caves at low tide. The temple site is very beautiful and attracts many visitors each year – the best way to reach Tanah Lot is to hire a car and driver or join an organized Temple Tour.
