Riding in Amed & Karangasem: Snorkelling, Tulamben & Lempuyang
By the SiapPergi Editorial Team · Published 8 October 2026 · 6 min read
Amed is a string of fishing villages on Bali's east coast with Mount Agung as the backdrop. Snorkelling and diving spots are spread along the shore, so a scooter is the most practical way to get around. Prices and booking are on the Amed scooter rental page; this article focuses on how to ride here and where to go.
Road conditions
Amed's coast road is narrow, winding and hilly, but the views are stunning. A mid-size automatic is fine for the main road, while a trail bike like the Kawasaki KLX 150 is comfortable on village roads.
East Bali destinations
| Destination | Approx. time from Amed |
|---|---|
| Jemeluk Beach (snorkelling) | within the area |
| Tulamben & the USAT Liberty wreck | ±25 minutes |
| Tirta Gangga Water Garden | ±30 minutes |
| Lempuyang Temple | ±45 minutes |
| Taman Ujung | ±35 minutes |
Tips
- Petrol stations are rare — fill up in Amlapura or Culik, or buy bottled petrol at a roadside warung.
- Go to Lempuyang Temple very early to avoid the photo queue.
- Wear a sarong when entering temples; you can usually rent one on site.
