Tanah Lot is an iconic Indonesian tourist attraction located on the southern coast of Bali. It comprises of a famed Hindu temple, Pura Tanah Lot, situated atop a large offshore rock which has been shaped by the ocean tide over many years. It is said to have originated from the 16th century Dang Hyang Nirartha during his travels along the south coast. Here he saw the beauty of this rock island and decided to rest there, where he spoke to the local fishermen and told them to build a shrine in honor of Bali's sea gods. Today, locals and tourists alike flock to the temple to explore its magnificent culture and history. The presentation of the sacred water at Tanah Lot provides a unique and breathtaking experience as you take in breathtaking ocean views and exquisite Balinese architecture.
