Yes, Tanah Lot Temple is undoubtedly worth visiting; perched on a rock in the ocean, surrounded by rolling swells and breaking waves, it boasts one of Bali's most spectacular temple settings. Sunsets at the temple can be epic, but it also draws crowds, so you may opt to visit earlier in the day. While it's possible to see the temple on your own, many opt to experience the site on a guided tour that takes in other Balinese temples while delivering a richer understanding of Bali's Hindu culture.

Per one customer who booked the Tanah Lot and North Bali Tour: Scenic Journey, "In over 70 cruises, we can honestly say that this was one of the very best tours we have ever taken, thanks in great part to our wonderful guide. We loved each and every stop on our Bali journey. From the gorgeous gardens at Ulun Danu Beratan Temple on Lake Beratan to swimming under several waterfalls and walking the rice terraces and enjoying a delicious lunch overlooking them, sampling Balinese coffee and teas at a thriving coffee plantation, and topping off our day with a wonderful visit to Tanah Lot, built over 1,000 years ago right on the lava-strewn beach, our day was AMAZING!"

Yes, many Bali sightseeing tours combine Tanah Lot with other nearby attractions. Tours of north Bali typically visit the temple with the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces—part of the UNESCO-listed Cultural Landscape of Bali—and the volcanic Tamblingan twin lakes. Other temple-focused tours add it to itineraries featuring Ulun Danu Bratan and Taman Ayun temples.
