Experience authentic Bali: Jamu making, local sweets, Balikaru farm, plus homemade dinner
Step off the beaten path and experience Bali; discover the island’s true soul, where nature, tradition, and heartfelt hospitality come together.
Join us for authentic moments: wander through emerald-green rice terraces, learn to make Balinese sweets, and create your own Jamu—the ancient herbal wellness drink that has been part of Indonesian life for over a thousand years. Taste, smell, and feel the essence of Bali in every step.
At Balikaru Farm, you’ll meet the local farmer, feed the animals, and even try planting rice yourself. Don’t miss the buzzing highlight of the day: the stingless Trigona bees that produce Bali’s golden, vitamin-rich honey.
As the sun sets, enjoy a homemade Balinese dinner at Warung Balikaru—a moment to relax, reflect, and savor the memories of a truly special day in the village.
A day of connection, culture, and natural beauty—waiting for you in the heart of Bali.
