Is this tour suitable if I've never done yoga before?

Yes. The 1.5-hour class at Intuitive Flow accommodates all levels, and the small group size (max 20) allows instructors to offer modifications. Focus on the experience and personal connection rather than perfection.

What exactly happens during the water ritual at Tirta Empul?

Your guide leads you through a spiritual cleansing ceremony at Bali's sacred spring temple. You'll bathe in the holy water pools in a respectful, meditative manner. Swimmers should wear swimwear and be prepared for cool water.

Will I really meet a fortune teller, and how long does it take?

Yes, a visit to a respected local fortune teller in Ubud is included to complete the spiritual journey inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert's story. Duration and format (reading, cards, conversation) depend on the practitioner, but expect 20–30 minutes.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable yoga clothes and bring a sarong (or use the one provided/required at temples). Pack a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, water, and insect repellent. Shoes should be easy to remove for temple entry.

How early does the tour start?

Tours typically begin at sunrise (around 6 AM) to catch the morning light over Mt. Agung during yoga. Exact start time depends on the season and your hotel location. Confirm at booking.

Is hotel pickup included?

Hotel pickup and dropoff are typically included within Ubud. Confirm your meeting point and time when you book. The full experience takes 8 hours from start to finish.

our guide Lucia sorted everything for us and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight ... Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Worked great for a solo traveller like me, and 6 stops in about 3 hours, and first thing in the morning. Would book again no question.

our guide Hassan was brilliant and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight ... Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in phuket last year, and good as a half-day option, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
