About this tour
This eight-hour circuit threads through Bali's cultural and agricultural heart, starting with a temple visit at Tirta Empul before heading to the cooler highlands for coffee tasting at a working farm. You'll take in Kintamani's volcanic landscape and Mount Batur views, then drop into Batuan to browse contemporary Balinese painting studios. An air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking guide handle the logistics, with hotel pickup included, leaving you free to absorb each stop.
Highlights
- Tirta Empul Temple's sacred spring-water pools and carved courtyards
- Coffee tasting at OKA Agrowisata plantation with farm explanations

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in the early morning and driven to Tirta Empul, where you'll spend 45 minutes exploring the temple's terraced courtyards and spring pools. The route then climbs toward Kintamani, stopping for views of the volcanic landscape and the distant mountain. At OKA Agrowisata, expect a relaxed walk through coffee plants, hands-on tasting of local beans, and chat with the farmers. The final leg takes you through Batuan's narrow lanes, where you'll step into modest studios to watch artists at work and see works for sale. Pace is unhurried; your guide explains history and farming practices as you go.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes and sun protection for temple and farm sections. Lunch isn't provided, so eat before or pack snacks; coffee and light refreshments are usually available at the plantation. The drive includes some winding highland roads. Wear respectful clothing at the temple (covered shoulders and knees).
