About this tour
A 4–5 hour private spiritual cleansing experience centred on ritual bathing at Tirta Empul Holy Spring Water Temple, Bali's sacred purification site. You'll participate in Balinese Hindu healing practices designed to clear negative energy, then visit a local coffee plantation to learn about the island's spiritual traditions. Includes private transport, an English-speaking guide, sarong, and all ceremony costs. Best suited to those seeking genuine spiritual practice rather than casual sightseeing.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to Tirta Empul, where you'll change into a provided sarong and prepare for the ritual. A spiritual guide will lead you through the temple's sacred spring-water cleansing, explaining the Balinese Hindu practices intended to purify your aura and remove negative energies. The guide walks you through each step of the ceremony.
After the water ritual, you'll visit a local coffee plantation where the guide explains the connection between local religious beliefs and daily life. You'll have refreshments before being returned to your hotel. Most of the 4–5 hour duration includes travel time from pickup to drop-off.

Good to know
This suits anyone genuinely interested in Balinese spiritual practice and willing to participate respectfully in a Hindu ritual. It's not recommended for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with significant cardiovascular concerns. The experience involves wading in spring water and standing for periods during ceremony, so basic mobility is needed. Note that gratuities are not included. Groups are private (you and your party only), and hotel pickup and drop-off are standard. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if you prefer independent travel.
