Ecology in Bali: Discover the most outstanding options

We had such a fun afternoon with Ilham & Andika. We first went around the farm picking ingredients to infuse with our gin, then went & made our own personalised gin that we could take home. Finally we made a cocktail with the gin we made. Then Ilham finished by making us a special gin cocktail. Highly recommend this afternoon activity.

My wife and I did the Farm-To-Bar workshop. Our session was with Yoga and it was a lot of fun! You start by taking a walk through Ayana’s farm, picking plants and herbs along the way. Yoga and Hendra let us smell and taste the different plants they grew here and we got to take some along with us to garnish our drinks with. After the walk, you get to make two drinks per person, either with or without alcohol. Yoga helped us make some delicious drinks. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours in the afternoon before dinner, you can’t go wrong with this!

A wonderful and educational experience about Ayana’s sustainable farming practices. Listening to Andika speak really highlights his care and dedication to caring for the farm. The Gin class was an unexpected treat. You get to tour through the farm picking different fruits and botanicals before getting to infuse your own gin, enough to make your own signature cocktail as well as bring a little bottle home. Yoga and Bayu provided an enjoyable and educational experience, they were top notch!

Took the Gin Workshop. Did the picking and then infusion plus cocktail making. Was fun with Ilham and sudina explaining the types of plants they have as well as teaching us how to do the Gin infusion. Very considerate and we had fun.

Great experience. And Ilham teaching is really patient and the experience is really comfort and great. The first time I know some new cocktail and detail to make them. It’s a memorable experience in ANYANA

Soil Food Temple is an absolute gem in Bali. Their range of dried fruit, grains, seeds, legumes, baking staples and spices is spot on. Loads of choice and really good quality. Everything feels fresh, well packed and sensibly priced. The staff are friendly and always happy to help you find what you need or recommend something new✨✨

This place was found accidentally when I went for laundry next door, the product they sell here was awesome, great variety. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loving everything from Soil Food Temple. Their range of jamu and organic products is next level, you can genuinely taste how fresh everything is. The turmeric jamu is a standout for me.. rich, earthy, and packed with goodness (without being too overpowering). The Balifornia jamu is lighter and super refreshing, perfect for daily hydration. You can tell these are made with real, quality ingredients at a very reasonable price.

Such a lovely and well-organized store! Everything is clean, bright, and neatly labeled. They have a wide selection of organic and sustainable products. The staff Nova are super friendly and helpful too. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re into healthy living!

Absolutely incredible service — truly beyond expectations! The menu is impressively complete, from matcha with flax seed to fettuccine, and cookies, and even jamu. Wow! Every item feels thoughtfully crafted and genuinely healthy. Highly recommended!

We had a very positive experience working with Nusa Solar. From the initial consultation through installation and commissioning, their team handled the project in a professional and well-organized manner. Communication was always clear, timely, and transparent, which gave us confidence throughout the process. The product quality and overall system performance have met our expectations. We are particularly pleased that we are now generating more energy than we are currently using. In addition, their after-sales service has been responsive and supportive whenever we had questions. We would confidently recommend Nusa Solar to anyone considering a solar installation. -Studio Jencquel Team

Its been a pleasure working with Nusa Solar. We wanted a renewable energy system consisting of solar panels and a battry to improve our night time renewable energy mix and also act as a small power backup for PLN blackouts. Their team was great to work with. By far the most professional vendor we worked with when building our house. After we settled on a system capacity, Nusa Solar helped us integrate with our MEP contractor on site seamlessly and they handled all the permits. System was operating before we knew it. Amazing work. We have had the system on for about 6 months and there havent been any issues at all. Even so, they have continued offering their after sales services and checking on us every so often. Highly recommend Thank you Nusa Solar

After relying exclusively on generators for over 20 years, transitioning to solar power was a significant and humbling experience. The performance of the system has far exceeded our expectations—we’ve only needed to run a generator three times in the past 60 days. This marks a major shift in our energy management and cost savings, and we are highly impressed with the efficiency and reliability of the solution provided. From initial consultation to final installation, Nusa Solar delivered a consistently high standard of service. Their team demonstrated deep industry knowledge, professionalism, and clear communication at every stage, making the entire process efficient and well-managed. What truly sets Nusa Solar apart is their commitment to long-term client relationships. Their post-installation support has been prompt, reliable, and solution-oriented—qualities that are essential for any business investment. We highly recommend Nusa Solar to any organization seeking a trusted partner for sustainable energy solutions. Their expertise and service have been instrumental in helping us advance our environmental goals while ensuring operational excellence.

We installed a large solar panel set-up. In teo steps with sufficient battery to cover spikes have back-ip. Nisa Solar’s advice before installing was superb (listening to our needs, being transparent on costing and RoI). Their conduct when installing was highly professional and friendly. Delivery was on time and in budget! We have worked with others in Bali. Nusa Solar’s service is a league Higher than others

Great experience working with Nusa Solar (Bali) over the last 18 months. Complete system, of panels, inverter and batteries, smoothly installed in stages during construction. System now supplying most of our power daily and providing reliability while reducing greenhouse emissions. Thanks to the Nusa Solar team!

There are many farms you can tour in Bali, but most feel very touristy. This one felt real! Putu and Komang were the sweetest! They are truly living their dream on that farm. They made us feel like a part of their family, taught us to make some sweet treats, and toured us through the whole farm. We loved seeing not only how they make the organic vanilla, but also grow coffee, chocolate, fruits, and many other local flavors. Thank you for the memorable experience!

Such a beautiful place and very sweet owners. They showed me the farm, explained a lot about the farming and gave me fruits, Balinese cake and tea. It’s possible to buy their vanilla beans and cacao and coffee. It’s their home so you can go any time and enjoy a beautiful experience and meet some warmhearted people. 💓

We had an amazing time here. Putu and Komang made us feel like family. We made lak lak, drank coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Learned a lot about farming Vanilla, and gained some appreciation for the fantastic Vanilla Bean. It’s not just about the vanilla farm when you are here… You also get to hang out with the family and have a tiny bit of village life in Bali. It’s a true Bali gem❤️ We wished we had time to do a whole cooking session with them. So please make time for that while you are here.

I am so glad I found this place! The highlight of the trip. Putu and Komang welcomed us in and quickly made us feel welcome. His passion is amazing to see and what he has in his farm is just incredible. This is not a tourist spot, just a wonderful genuine farmer sharing his space. There is vanilla beans, coffee beans, cacao powder, black pepper for sale. Buy some of his produce that is top class.

So this is going to be a bit longer since this is a very special place. It does belong to I Putu who is the farmer and grows everything by himself here. He opens his farm to customer and explains the process of farming and planting the various spices and of course the star is vanilla. He offers tea and coffee and some pancakes with his own vanilla. He does not ask for anything but people, please don’t be rude and leave him a good tip. He is very humble, in my opinion he does not have to be. He can be proud of all the achievement he generated for himself and his family. The most special thing is that you feel very welcome from the second you enter the facility. So again it is worth the trip, it is wort a hour detour, simply visit Putu and his loving family. A big thank you from me.

We’ve been there with my husband, and we first met Putu, made local cake, enjoying tea. He showed us his farm with vanilla, cacao etc.. It was so interesting we learned so much things. At the end, we had cooking class with his wife. Sweet smaller son was also there. Food was Incredible and it was so fun to do! Putu and his family are really lovely persons, pure , kind and generous. We’ll never forget them Aurore and Dimitri

Dropped by unannounced and was welcomed like family! The owner passionately shared his vanilla farming journey — you can feel how much care he puts into every plant. Cooking pancakes with his wife was such a joy (and so delicious!). Can’t wait to make vanilla syrup at home. Thank you for the warmth and unforgettable experience! 💛

Raveo’s RO System design is great. The service is good from the start to post-instalation. As of this comment was written, the technician team was friendly and informative. The customer service is friendly too. Highly recommend. I hope they continue to provide this quality of service consistenly, especially the service reliability from Mitha.

Wanda was very helpful. Contacted them by WhatsApp and coordinated all the details of the order and payment. Their whatsapp business account has a catalogue with all the products they carry.

Services provided by Ms. LIA through WA and phone were excellent. I am truly satisfied being your customer. Good luck Lia !

Raveo were great to deal with, Mitha from customer service provided clear communication and confirmed my service booking prior to installation. The installation team were on time and installed the filter system efficiently.

Prompt, reliable service even when you’re not in the country. Mitha took great care of me and my needs!

I recently had an absolutely amazing time in Bali with my boyfriend during a 3-day open water diving course at The Blue Season Bali, led by the incredible Instructor Wayan. Wayan’s unwavering dedication to safety ensured that we learned all the essential skills while keeping the course lively and fun. His enthusiasm and passion for diving were contagious, making every session a joyful adventure. Not only did Wayan teach us how to identify different fish species, observe waves and navigate mild currents, but he also shared his deep knowledge and love for the underwater world. Thanks to his expert guidance, we were able to explore the breathtaking beauty of Tulamben and Padangbai, swimming alongside vibrant fish, stunning coral reefs and even a graceful turtle. The team at The Blue Season Bali, including the fantastic Instructor Guna and diving master Dayat, took good care of us and ensured that our day trips were seamless. I am incredibly grateful to Instructor Wayan and the entire crew for creating such a happy and memorable diving journey. Will surely return for manta and mola mola later! If you’re looking for an unforgettable and educational diving experience, I wholeheartedly recommend The Blue Season Bali with Instructor Wayan.

Blue Season Bali was a very wonderful scuba diving adventure. Kai the owner very friendly and offered his expert advise. Hesty, Airi and David were my instructors. Very helpful to provide me with tips on being a better scuba diver. Highly recommend if you are a scuba diver visiting Bali.

Wonderful experience with Blue Season Bali! Very thankful to the dive instructors namely Guna, Zidan and Lee Kai! All of them were extremely helpful, had great emphasis on safety procedures and briefings and paid close attention to all of our needs. Special shoutout to Guna for being extra attentive to my friend Celeste and gave her all that she needed throughout! 🙂 he also offered to help us take pictures at the nice spots. Throughout all 3 days, we felt well taken care of, and had great conversations with the folks of Blue Season Bali! Thank you for making us feel at ease! Did 3 days of diving to Tulamben, Nusa Penida and Padangbai. The dive sites were amazingly beautiful and the highlights of the trip was seeing huge manta rays, beautifully maintained corals and huge varieties of marine creatures. I will definitely dive with Blue Season Bali whenever we are back, and I strongly recommend them to all divers from all levels!

I highly recommend Blue Season Bali for a professional and hassle-free diving experience! We completed our Advanced Open Water license here and felt incredibly well-taken care of. Our instructors, Kai and Eric, were the perfect balance of fun, caring, and professional, always prioritizing our safety. What impressed us most was their efficiency. When bad weather initially prevented us from reaching Manta Point, the team quickly rearranged our schedule and organized an ad hoc trip the very next day. Thanks to their flexibility, we finally got to swim with the huge mantas! If you want a seamless underwater adventure in Bali, this is the place to go.

We would give more than 5 stars if I could! Blue Season was carefully chosen by my fiancé, who spent months researching worldwide dive centers to find the best spot for his Divemaster certification. He stayed for a month with their incredibly warm team and successfully earned his license. Right after I joined him in Bali for a 10-day vacation, where I had my first ‘Discovery Dive’ with him and the instructor Guna. The whole team was incredibly attentive to me as a first-time diver who was a bit nervous initially. Guna, as a very experienced Indonesian instructor, reassured me and explained all the basic diving procedures. I learned a lot and felt capable of managing myself, even when I encountered a few minor challenges underwater. I fell in love with diving thanks to Blue Season Bali, and since my fiancé had such a great experience with his Divemaster program, we can assure you it’s an excellent choice, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced diver. You won’t regret spending time with them!

We had a wonderful experience with Blue Season Bali. We went diving at Tulamben and Nusa Penida Island – both places were absolutely breathtaking with beautiful corals, great biodiversity and glass-like waters. We even managed to spot manta ray and sea turtles! The two diving masters (shout out to Zidane and Rendi) who went with us were excellent – they were experienced, meticulous and encouraging. We were beginner divers who only got our advanced licences a month ago. But with our diving masters’ guidance, we were still able to go to the more advanced diving spots and had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We cannot recommend blue season more for people who wanna go diving in Bali.

Currently an intern at BsB. Did my open water and advanced course here at blueseasonbali. They provide such an unforgettable expierence with good care and are super friendly. Special thanks to Guna and Wayan for guiding me throughout the courses. Wonderful time!

Absolutely loved my experience at Utama Spice. The store feels calm, clean, and genuinely aligned with natural wellness—everything smells incredible and the product quality feels thoughtful and intentional.  Mudani was the highlight of the visit—so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. She took time to understand what I was looking for, explained the ingredients/benefits clearly, and helped me choose scents and products that actually fit my needs (not just what was trendy). I left happy, confident in my picks, and I’ll 100% be back.

Love this shop. Perfect for natural skin and hair care. They use recycled paper shopping bags. The three women working there were so kind and helpful. Many thanks 🙏🏻 suksuma

I had the pleasant experience of making my own skincare alongside the amazing nuri! She was so helpful and made the experience so enjoyable and educating! I learnt a lot of about the essential oils, uses, benefits etc. I was very pleased with my results!

I ordered essential oils via whatsapp and the service was super smooth. The informations were clear and the process was extremely easy. I live in north Bali so I needed a delivery. I checked their catalogue, sent my order and I was super surprised to receive my order the day after, on a bank holiday, right at my door! Amazing service thank you

I stumbled across Utama Spice while walking up Monkey Forest Street and I’m so glad I did! I made my own body spray and it was such a fun experience. The staff were lovely, it was super easy, and the best part – I get to bring home my own fragrance of Ubud for under $7AUD. Such a gem of a find!

I visited Utama Spice in Monkey Forest and they have not only amazing products but very nice and helpful ladies. Thank you Sri for helping me out 😊🙏🏼

The store smells sooo good! Very welcoming people. They have amazing scents and products! I bought two essential oils to bring back home 🙂

Nice interesting soap.. myself love soaps. Very aromatic and tropical smell.. can bring back Bali to your home …where you from… Me from Malaysia.

After our trip in Bali, we were looking for a premium quality of incense which you can feel relax and peaceful at home. Fortunately this shop came up on my search engine and I can feel their products are made by heart. Thank you again for producing these products, I love them!

It’s always lovely visit your shop with all these natural perfumes! Please, let me know when you got stock of your coconut body scrub 😀

Pretty and fragrant products and well managed the shop. Like to visit next time again!

Love the choice of products! The Java tea collection smells so good 🤩

good i buy many times

Lovely shop with natural soaps and creams. Everything smells amazing, the quality is great, and the staff are very friendly. Perfect place to find gifts or a little treat for yourself😍

Really happy with the whole experience. Marc, the owner, took the time to answer every question I had and made sure I fully understood the system, the pricing, and how the installation would work. No pressure, just patient explanations until I felt comfortable making the decision. We went with panels plus a battery system and the quality looks excellent. The install team clearly knew what they were doing. Cables were run neatly and organized throughout without me having to give a single instruction. Very well trained and professional. Being able to see the solar production and battery capacity in the app is genuinely cool. It gives a great feeling of independence, and it is one of those rare investments that will guaranteed pay for itself in a few years. Highly recommend.

The team at Smart Energy have been fantastic and come highly recommended. Super professional installation team – not just some random tukang with a screwdriver – but guys that really know and understand about solar installation and they are always available at short notice to help if any issues. They installed a 15.5kwp/32kwh fully off-grid setup for our home and it’s working perfectly. Solar is such a no-brainer here in Indo, but these guys make the choice to switch to off-grid an even easier decision to make!

Excellent Work! Every one who worked on my installation was very professional and timely. The components and work is of high quality and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend this company for all of your solar needs. Ask for Michael. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Dr Daniel B Taylor

Very professional team with great service. Our solar system was installed quickly with no mess and little disruption. All our questions were answered very professionally

The guys have done two projects for me very professional installations neat and tidy also very helpful setting everything up for me and registering with PLN, definitely recommend PT Smart Energy Technology

Smartenergy.tech has been providing great support for setting up the solar panels power supply @Villa Mas in Kuta heights at Lombok. The team is knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. The technician acted very professionally at site. The system status can be monitored remotely through an online application which is very enjoyable. Strongly recommended if you wish to set a solar panel power system in Bali or Lombok!

Very professional company. Took care of the entire installation, contact with PLN and used quality materials. The system was quickly up and running and has been ever since.
