About this experience
Bali attracts people from all over the world with its special energy and unique spiritual practices. Perform a real Balinese purification ceremony of the soul and body by bathing in the sacred Sebatu waterfall!
Sebatu is a particularly revered place for Balinese. Locals believe that if you stand under the streams of the waterfall, your head will be cleansed of bad thoughts, and your body and mind will be filled with new strength and energy. Before bathing, you will go through a traditional Balinese ceremony, with incense and offerings of flowers.
On this tour you will also visit the 25 meter high Tegenungan Waterfall, take a bath in the healing waters of the Tirta Empul Temple and enjoy the views of the Tegallalang rice terraces. You can also take beautiful photos and have lunch in a cozy restaurant overlooking the terraces.
