East Bali Private Tour with Gates of Heaven (Optional Lunch)

Bali tour with private driver

The most important detail that made our Bali trip unforgettable was meeting Made Wijaya. With her smiling face, kindness, and wonderful hospitality, she made us feel right at home. Not only was he a fantastic driver, but he was also an excellent guide who beautifully explained Balinese culture, history, and local life to us. He drives incredibly safely and calmly in traffic, which allowed us to feel completely comfortable throughout the journey. He's also a complete professional when it comes to taking our photos! If we ever come back to Bali, we would definitely work with Made again. We wholeheartedly recommend Made Wijaya to anyone looking for a reliable, punctual, and friendly private driver/guide! Terima kasih Made!

Bali Full-Day Car Charter: The Gates of Heaven Bali Tour

Great Gates of Heaven Bali Tour

It’s a long day, but worth it. Our great English speaking driver and guide, Raj waited patiently while we had our photos taken at the gates of heaven. What an amazing site and background for our photos. Raj bought us fish food to feed the Koi at the water palace. It was very windy at the Virgin Beach so it was difficult to swim. The visit to the ancient village was very interesting with Runi as our guide, but I would not like to live there.

Bali Full-Day The Gate of Heaven Tour by VW Safari Classic Car

VW Classic jeeps - big smiles all round!

From the moment we walked out of the hotel to see theses amazing be classic jeeps waiting for us and our guide who was very flexible in making changes based on different family needs I.e a family with two twenty year olds in tow! The drive from Nusa Dua to the Gates of Heaven was 2hrs 30.. our guide was chatty all the way. When we arrived he sorted out all entrance fees, took the bus up to the top and walked with us to get our tickets and photo. Then onto a recommended coffee and tea shop with the top down. Where the whole family tried all 20 samples. Purchases in tow we were then off to water palace, which was beautiful, quite breathtaking and very peaceful. From there onto lunch at a local restaurant just 5 minutes away, service, lunch and views over rice fields was amazing, the menu catered for Indonesian, tourists (burgers, pizza, pasta) and Indian curry’s. Big helpings. From there to Virgin beach, you will need to take a towel and 100,000idr for 2 beds and an umbrella. Beach was pristine and ocean was glorious, great views as you descend down. We decided to take a dip in the ocean and chill before heading back to the cars and then changed the plan and visited a jewellery shop instead of a traditional Bali village. It was getting quite late by then and we missed watching them make the jewellery. However biggest jewellery store I’ve ever seen!! Back to the cars and long trek back to Nusa Dua via very busy traffic. Although long we didn’t stop smiling the whole day. Very enjoyable and stress free as our guide took care of everything!! ❤️
