A fabulous day learning about Balinese culture and tradition. Wayan Eric and his family were very gracious in showing us their family compound and explaining their beliefs and rituals. Morning tea was amazing with sticky rice and coconut treats followed by a sumptuous lunch at a warung then off for offerings and purification at Taman Beji Griya Waterfall. Cleansed with auras open and chakras activated!

Family and I had a great day. We learnt alot from our host Eric about his family, culture and religion. We ate well (don't have breakfast beforehand) and despite the heat found ourselves enjoying our time in the village and especially the water ceremony. A great way to immerse yourself in Balinese culture.

Through the relation and wonderful support of Balibuddies we joined the day event of Bali village experience! It resulted in a unforgettable wonderful day where we were guided by our tour host Eric who showed us (4 persons) his own home and life style in their village. Followed by a visit to the rice paddy‘s and a lovely midday local Indonesian lunch. During the afternoon we visited a special side with caves and waterfalls and temples where the Bali rituals and religious cleaning and awareness is practiced! A wonderful experience which is very recommendable to everybody!

We had a really great day from start to finish. It was great to see in what ways the Balinese people live and to take a look inside the doors of a large family. Best trip so far

From the very start when Made from Bali buddies picked us up to take us to meet Erik and his family we had a fantastic time. Made was an excellent driver and gave us lots of information as we drove along. Erik spoke fantastic English and we learnt so much about the Hindu religion and culture. The food was amazing and being cleansed in the holy waters was very special.

You will be welcomed into a real family compound in the village and be given a tour. During this excursion travellers learn about the family temple, the people who live there and the special celebrations that happen at this magical place. As this is a real home for many families you never know who will be there or what will be happening. There may be children running around or, when you’re lucky, a special ceremony taking place. This all adds to the genuine experience you are taking part in. he Balinese ladies who live in the compound will prepare you a traditional morning tea consisting of Balinese cakes, fruits, fresh coconuts & Bali Kopi. After morning tea you will experience making Canang Sari – the daily offerings made each day by the Balinese Hindus – some ladies make hundreds of these each day. You will create your own beautiful Canang Sari to be used later in the day at your blessing ceremony. For lunch you will visit a village Warung (small local restaurant), which is located amongst the rice fields and serves traditional Balinese and Indonesian dishes. You will get to choose two dishes from the menu and a drink of your choice. Enjoy the endless rice field views and the warm, local hospitality. All of the food is prepared fresh on the spot and can be as spicy or mild as you request. After lunch, you will visit the Village Holy Water site, the only Holy Water site in Bali that has a waterfall and Hidden Canyon. In this sacred site the water is considered to be Holy and hold great cleansing powers. Before entering the Holy Water site you will be dressed in a sarong and a sash. Using the offerings you made earlier today in the village, you receive a traditional blessing at the temple. For those willing to get wet, you can also experience a full cleansing ritual in the Holy Water. This includes visiting the Hidden Canyon and immersing yourself in the waterfall of the Holy Water. Patrons are guided through this practice, something many locals come to the Holy Water site to do often. The Balinese Hindus believe this ritual helps to cure disease and purify the aura and karma of past lives. After your ceremony you will have the chance to change before heading back to your resort/villa.
