Getting there

Car

If you're driving from major cities in Kalimantan, you'll first need to take a flight to Bali, as Tanah Lot is located in Tabanan Regency, Bali. Once you arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Bali, you can rent a car or hire a taxi to reach Tanah Lot. The drive from the airport to Tanah Lot takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. From the airport, take the Jalan Raya Tuban road and follow signs to Denpasar. Merge onto the Jalan By Pass Ngurah Rai and continue towards Tabanan. Follow the signs for Tanah Lot, which will lead you to the scenic area. Be prepared to pay for parking upon arrival, which can range from IDR 5,000 to IDR 10,000.

Public Transportation

For those using public transport, take a flight from Kalimantan to Bali, landing at Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). From the airport, you can catch a bus or shuttle to Kuta or Seminyak, where you can find local buses heading to Tabanan. Look for buses marked 'Tabanan' or 'Tanah Lot.' The bus ride may take around 2 hours, and the fare is typically around IDR 30,000 to IDR 50,000. Once you reach Tabanan, you can hire a local taxi or ride-sharing service to take you the last 15 kilometers to Tanah Lot. Expect to pay an additional IDR 100,000 to IDR 150,000 for this short trip.

Taxi or Ride-Sharing

If you prefer a direct route from your accommodation in Bali, consider using a taxi or a ride-sharing app like Gojek or Grab. Simply input 'Tanah Lot' as your destination. The cost from popular areas like Kuta or Seminyak typically ranges from IDR 150,000 to IDR 250,000, depending on traffic conditions. This method provides a convenient and flexible option, allowing you to travel at your own pace and schedule.
