The Pretty Woman star, now 61, visited the ancient landmark with his wife, Carey Lowell, 50, and their son, Horner, 11.
Inside, according to local reports, he took time out to meditate during a visit lasting at least three hours.
As Richard was being guided around the temple with a Buddhist monk, he asked waiting media to calm down and be respectful.
He made a prayer gesture and told the media, 'Shhh, thank you all very much but you are going to be asked to leave now.'
The actor and his wife are both practicing Tibetan Buddhists and chose to be in Bali for the Dalai Lama's birthday, which is July 6.
He and his family are staying at a five-star resort on the island.
