Tanah Lot, the back way.
Tanah Lot is the classic Canggu day trip — the sea temple on its rock, best at sunset, 45 minutes from the corridor if you take the road worth taking. Skip the main-road slog: ride north through Pererenan, pick up the lanes through Tumbak Bayuh, and follow the paddies most of the way there. It's the same ride we call the best short run on the coast in our Pererenan guide — this is where it goes.
Any of our bikes handles it. The ADV is the most comfortable on the rougher paddy lanes; the NMAX does it perfectly well. Time it to arrive an hour before sunset: temple first, then the cliff-side warungs for the main event.

Sunset logistics
The temple's paid parking lot is well-organised — lock the helmet in the under-seat storage or carry it. Entrance fee applies to the temple grounds. After sunset, the crowd leaves at once; give it twenty minutes at a warung and ride home on empty lanes instead of in the convoy. Headlight on for the paddy roads — they're unlit and beautiful and occasionally occupied by ducks.
