Tanah Lot Temple, Bali (12.5km NW of Canggu Beach by road)

Tanah Lot is one of the amazing Balinese rock formation islands that pinches out to sea but still connects (bridge-like sandstone) to the Balinese mainland.

What the best possible way to get there?
I hired a scooter for 60,000 rupiah for 24 hours in Kuta and rode up there using Google Maps on my phone. It takes about 22.5 kilometres or about 1 hour to get there.

Getting a car, taxi, or coach are an alternative but the traffic in Bali is quite troublesome given their roads are very narrow and everyone is going there at the same time, the hardest part is when everyone is leaving at the same time. On my scooter I saw everyone in vehicles got quite frustrated stuck in traffic and not moving.

Entry ticket is 60,000 rupiah and 2,000 rupiah for parking a scooter (I can't remember what price for parking a car was).

Advantages
Scooter: quicker to get there and avoid heavy traffic

4 wheeled vehicle: better to be in one when wet weather, roads in Bali are not the same in the west.

Disadvantages
Scooter: be extra cautious when riding and not knowing the directions or in wet weather

4 wheeled vehicle: when stuck in traffic (high chance), twice as long to get to and from the temple
