At these temples, you’ll find some form of holy water, whether it be in the form of a spring, pool or even a waterfall. It is believed that by immersing yourself in this holy water, you are chasing away any bad spirits in your life.
Visiting these temples provides an enlightening experience that gives you insight into Balinese purification ceremonies, and will leave you feeling at peace, and fully connected to the island.
Most purification tours make additional stops at natural attractions such as viewpoints or rice paddies before taking you back to your hotel. While the itinerary of each tour is different, most purification tours aim at providing you with a peaceful experience.
The spiritual purification tour, with the visit to the local healer, is one of the most affordable purification tours in Bali — costing just US$50 per person. The reason for this tour's cost-effectiveness is that it is a group tour.
The Bali cleansing tour is a popular private tour that costs US$65 per person, with a minimum booking of two people. The full-day water temple ritual tour and the oriental spa ritual tour are also private tours and they each cost US$80 per person.
When it comes to private tours, prices can fluctuate depending on how many people you book for.
