Så utrolig personlig og fin opplevelse. Vi følte oss som familie da vi ble invitert inn til vertene og vist rundt i landsbyen dems. Det var en helt spesiell opplevelse vi sent vil glemme. God mat. Utrolig fine folk og selvfølgelig så spesielt å se ildfluene på slutten av kvelden. Rett ut av en Disney Film.
Tusen takk for en fantastisk kveld.

Wat een bijzondere ervaring. Een kijkje in het leven van een lokale familie. Veel dingen geleerd en gezien die ik niet had willen missen. Een maaltijd met rijst uit de velden van de familie. Met als kers op de taart de vuurvliegjes, echt magisch. Het was een stukje rijden vanaf Ubud maar zeker de moeite. De foto’s doen het tekort. Would def recommend!

L activité était super. Nous avons pris un grab pour nous rendre au village (les routes sont un peu compliquées en scooter). Arrivées sur place, nous avons été tout de suite prises en charge par notre hôte. Il nous a fait visiter le village, les plantations,... et nous a expliqué les traditions familiales balinaises. Nous avons ensuite pu profiter du dîner préparé par la famille. Et nous sommes parties en voiture jusqu aux rizières où nous avons pu apprécier le spectacle des lucioles, (visibles entre 19h et 20h) toujours avec les explications de notre hôte (il nous a fait de magnifiques photos-souvenirs). Puis il nous a déposé au plus près pour reprendre un grab. Activité en anglais, très ludique pour petits et grands! Prix très correct. Je conseille cette soirée a 100% Merci c était super beau!!!!

Wonderful experience in Bali! The fireflies were magical, but the best part was definitely the focus on the Balinese culture and way of life.

Such an amazing, unique experience! The host was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to answer all our very specific questions, the food cooked for us was delicious and authentic. Super grateful for the opportunity and would recommend to any tourists, experienced or new to the area!
Me encantó. Es gente auténtica que te enseña la verdadera forma en que viven te dan de cenar en pleno campo y te llevan a ver las luciérnagas. Sencillamente maravilloso. Les deseo lo mejor. Se lo aconsejo a todo el mundo que vaya a Bali y quiera conocer un poco de su cultura y no …
It was a truly wonderful trip with a special atmosphere! The food was truly delicious, and the fireflies were fascinating. A quick tip for anyone who wants to experience this: wear sturdy shoes (as you’ll be walking through the rice fields), long clothing (because of the mosquitoes), and pack mosquito repellent.
