Laughing Buddha Bali Tours
Laughing Buddha Bali Tours
Due to Covid-19 my tours are presently on hold. Please head over to my Balinese Water Blessing I would be delighted to bless you online.
Welcome to Laughing Buddha Bali Tours. My name is Made and I am Balinese. I have been in tourism almost as long as I have been speaking.
My first job was in the magical Sangeh Monkey Forest playing Bali traditional music with an instrument called The Gambalan to tourists when I was only 6 years old.
My experience as a white river rafting guide is where I learnt to speak English and Japanese from the grateful tourists who would recommend my expert customer service & fun adventures.
I previously worked in a Japanese restaurant for many years where I have met and became friends with people from all over the world.
I have designed a range of tours which offer a unique experience. My tours are designed to show you the real spiritual Bali and I wish to share the magical side of my beautiful Island home.
I study ancient Sanskrit Balinese Hindu scriptures, to enhance my knowledge in my Hindu philosophy.
My motto is to make you laugh, after all thats what holidays are for.
For your comfort Our Laughing Buddha Bali Tour Car is a seven-seater Toyota Avanza model with air conditioning,
air bags stereo & all modern features.
Laughing Buddha Bali Tours are holistic and prices quoted are fixed pick up in the Ubud area.
For pick up in other areas a small surcharge maybe added. If you have any idea's or questions please email me, I am looking forward to meeting you soon in Bali. [email protected]

Holy Purification Tour
Holy Purification Tour
This will be one of the most magical spiritual experiences you will have when visiting Bali. I will greet you with a smile at 6am. On our drive we will have a discussion about the ancient Balinese Hindu Culture, I love answering questions and sharing
my knowledge.
I will explain the rituals that will take place when we arrive at the beautiful Village where the Holy Spring Water Temple is situated. We will give gratitude for entering this sacred space.
I will guide you through our ancient Hindu prayer process before entering the temple. I study ancient Balinese Hindu text, which includes Sanskrit and understand the complicated processes.
My intention is to share our mystical culture in a fun way, to give you behind the scenes moments to fully immerse in the process with local Balinese visitors. We will bathe with the locals under the Holy Springs & hear the fascinating stories in mystical surroundings. The cool water has healing properties, after bathing in the Holy Springs you are guaranteed to feel rejuvenated and fresh. For some this can even be a spiritual awakening or healing experience. We meander to a famous rice terrace, I will take fun photos as a souvenir.
