💡 Visitor Tips

Climb up the steep stone steps to the main pillar ruins on the hill for a stunning panoramic view that blends the pools, Mount Agung, and the ocean.
Apply plenty of sunscreen and carry a lightweight umbrella since the vast open garden pathways offer very little shade from the direct midday sun.
Buy some fish food packets from the vendors at the entrance gate if you want to feed the large schools of colorful koi swimming in the main bridges.
Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals because you will be walking long stretches of stone pathways and steps across the massive 10-hectare park.
Rent a traditional boat or water bicycle available at the pond if you want to experience the royal water gardens from a completely different perspective.
