What you'll see and do
Ubud
Balinese shamanic healing is a traditional form of healing practiced in Bali, Indonesia, deeply rooted in the island's cultural and spiritual beliefs. It combines elements of animism, Hinduism, and traditional medicine. Shamans, known as "balians," are respected healers who are believed to have a special connection with the spirit world and possess the ability to communicate with spirits to diagnose and treat illnesses. The healing process typically involves rituals, prayers, herbal remedies, and sometimes trance-like states induced through chanting or meditation. Balians often use traditional tools such as talismans, crystals, and other symbolic objects during the healing sessions. The aim is not only to address physical ailments but also to restore spiritual balance and harmony within the individual and the community. Overall, Balinese shamanic healing reflects the interconnectedness of the physical, spiritual, and social realms in Balinese culture.

We had a great experience with Tude, our guide. We learned a lot about Balinese culture and traditions with this tour, and left refreshed and motivated. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Bali. Tude endured we started early enough to best the crowds. We had the purification ritual part pretty much go ourselves. He also took the time to explain everything, and took amazing pictures! - Andres and Carolina
Response from the operator: So much pleasure that hear our guide can make your Bali trip one to remember. We wish to see you again in the next future.

10/10 must do experience
Wow! What an experience. From pick up to drop off it was amazing. The healing ceremony was insightful and spot on. I came away feeling lighter but my energy buzzing within. The waterfall ceremony was so traditional and grounding. This waterfall temple is much quieter than the ‘famous’ one but just as beautiful. No queues. If you want a traditional Balinese experience with the best guides, do this one. 10/10
Response from the operator: What a pleasure to read it. We really appreciate, and we are so happy that you enjoy your trip with us.

Great find!
Tode was so genuine and generous with his time and information- I was skeptical but this was more than I hoped for! I had physical and spiritual benefits not to mention some amazing opportunities to buy authentic art from locals!

What an incredible experience!
Our guide Tude was amazing. He was so wonderful and thoughtful with everything. A true guide, guiding us and teaching us everything we wanted/needed to know, making sure we got the most out of our experience. If you'd like the real deal, I would highly recommend!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud Shamanic Healing and Purification Ceremony start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
