The Experiences

Immerse yourself in Bali’s traditional rice farming practices and learn the roots of the island’s agricultural heritage on a regenerative farm in Bayad Village, Payangan. Surrounded by the beauty of the Balinese countryside, discover the story of the subak, Bali’s irrigation channels that date to the 9th century; the origins of Mansur Heritage Rice, a heritage grain that’s one of many Balinese varieties of rice; as well as the process of planting, growing, and harvesting rice in Bali – a way of life that is an integral part of Balinese culture for centuries.

Discover the Bali Starling, a critically endangered species endemic to Bali. Visit the only breeding centre dedicated exclusively to raising these birds for release into the wild. Get up close to the Bali Starlings in a protected enclosure, where you can prepare their food and admire their beauty. Then, visit the release site to learn about their habituation, post-release care, and observe free-flying Bali Starlings thriving in their natural habitat.
