Taman Safari Bali adds underwater theatrical experience to its offerings

Taman Safari Bali, an attraction that combines wildlife in their natural habitat with ecosystems intersecting with Balinese culture, has launched Varuna, the first of its kind underwater theatrical show and dining experience in Bali, Indonesia.

This innovative addition is not just an attraction but a paradigm shift in immersive entertainment with Varuna marking a significant milestone in the development of The Exciting Marine Safari Bali, set to captivate audiences in 2024.

The essence of Bali's culture is intricately integrated into Varuna, achieved through collaborations with both international and local artists. This blend of traditional Balinese art and contemporary theatre crafts an exhilarating fusion, enriching the immersive underwater adventure with authentic cultural elements.

Nestled within Taman Safari Bali's sprawling 50-hectare landscape, Varuna is more than a show; it's a celebration of Bali's mesmerising underwater splendour. This multi-sensory spectacle artfully blends culinary artistry with an impressive underwater performance. Varuna's narrative, a tapestry of enchantment and local lore, unfolds through a combination of paper animation, the traditional art of wayang kulit (shadow puppetry), and breathtaking performances, all brought to life under the expert guidance of renowned technical advisor, Peter Wilson.

What sets Varuna apart is its commitment to sustainability and marine life conservation. Every aspect of the performance is designed with the utmost respect for the ocean's inhabitants, utilising cutting-edge technology to ensure wildlife welfare and conservation. This ethos is woven seamlessly into the narrative, offering visitors not just entertainment, but an enlightening perspective on the importance of preserving our marine ecosystems.

Varuna introduces a new era of exceptional performances in Indonesia, paving the way for the anticipated 2024 launch of The Exciting Marine Safari Bali. This attraction goes beyond entertainment, aspiring to be a hub for marine education and conservation.
