Just beautiful - An unforgettable experience. We chose the 7am slot and really not disappointed, we were the only ones in the water... just magic. Our Kombang Guide took us on a journey to discover this religion and explained the rituals in detail...we thank him so much for this experience and the memories that will remain etched in our memories. An activity to do if you are interested in Balinese cut. For our part, we loved it. A big THANK YOU for this organization and professionalism

Ritual and guided tour of Kamong - We toured the temple and did the ritual with the hilly water. Kamong was our guide and did really great. I recommend everyone do this with him. He explained everything to us and also talked about the historical background. It was great! Thank you Kamong for this experience! I recommend everyone to come early in the morning. What are waiting there just before 7:00 and could do the ritual without other people really an exciting experience.

Really beautiful - Super nice temple, really a “must see”. Beautiful old fountains where people can get a little closer to the connection between heaven and earth. Beautiful carvings and beautiful ceremonies performed live.

Enriching experience with Komang as a guide - We booked a guided tour and received Komang as our guide. It was our favourite experience of our trip in Bali. Komang explained everything to us, the meaning of the statues, trees, colours, etc.. He also guided us through the exact step of the purification and explained the meaning of each step. It was truly insightful, and we felt at peace afterwards. As a nice bonus, Komang took really nice pictures of us. Highly recommend!

Really special experience - Wonderful experience. Felt really special. Arrived at 930am and wasn’t that busy (maybe we were lucky as lots of reviews said it would be crowded). Very well organised. Ignore the comments about dirty changing rooms - it’s a temple not a spa! Great to be able to participate rather than just sight see.
