About this tour

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to Tirta Empul Temple, where you'll change into a sarong and join other visitors at the sacred spring pools. The purification ritual involves wading into the water channels whilst following the temple's traditional blessing sequence — guides will show you where to stand and what to expect. After the ceremony, you'll have time to explore the temple grounds and take photos.
You'll then head to a coffee plantation for a break among the tropical gardens, likely with a chance to sample local coffee. The day concludes with a private palm reading session where a reader will examine your hands and offer interpretations. You'll be returned to your hotel by late afternoon.

Good to know
This tour works best for people genuinely curious about Balinese spiritual practices and open to palm reading as a cultural experience rather than fortune-telling. It's not suitable if you're pregnant. The temple visit involves wading into water, so bring a change of clothes and waterproof footwear; the sarong covers you during the ritual but you'll get wet. Tirta Empul can be busy, especially mid-morning. The experience is private, so pacing depends on your guide. No specific fitness demands, though you'll be walking temple grounds and standing in water. Confirm whether the palm reading is included or a separate cost.
