We had a great time. We arrived after a short rain and the misty evening weather gave the place a serene, bucolic vibe. We played a small part in preparing our fresh and delicious organic meals, all prepared using traditional methods. The small tour by the conservation biologists was really informative and reminded me of the importance of preserving the purity of our natural world. I enjoyed the long chat we had in the darkness while watching fireflies light up and float around. It was, overall, an excellent experience. I hope to return in a few years to see the progress made :)

It was a great experience! I was very happy to join this event. The organizers were really lovely and took great care of the dogs. I learned many things and strongly recommend it. :)

Really nice to know about the turtles - how they breed, survive, live. It was so beautiful to see the very little turtles that was soon ready to be sent to the ocean. It was scary to learn how the worlds changes effects the turtles conditions and not for the better.

Me and my two friends, Eveliina and Sirpa, loved the hole evening. Really authentically beautiful surroundings, with respect for the nature and even though comfortable to be there, cooking, dining and learning about the fireflies. The scientists telling about there work and showing it in the lab, was a good insight. Also loved to hear and learn about the efforts to grow crops in the most environmentally best way. And getting the farmers around in on it. Every body there, was helping, smiling, participating and made it so good to be there.

From the pick up by Gede to the end of the evening, we were treated to a wonderful and interesting experience. Fortunate to be the only guests, the opportunity to speak with Wayan, his family and the scientists was great. We spent time withem all, learning about the project, the Fireflies, managing to see them in the wild, and them individually. Cooking good food in a traditional kitchen was very different to home, and I don't think many visitors would survive if left to their own devices with the available facilities. A testament to how good Balinese Cooking is. The meal gave us an opportunity to speak with Wayan, a well travelled, educated and engaging man, who is passionate about the project, his culture and its history. The evening was well worth the cost, especially when you take into account the good your money is doing. We could've spent more time there, though hopefully we have encouraged you to take our place.

Wow… Where do we begin? My girlfriend and I had no expectations coming into this experience, but we left with our hearts, stomachs and souls full of stories, good food and inspiration. Wayan, his family, the students, everyone was so kind and we truly enjoyed every second of our stay. It was a very emotional experience somehow and it was a pleasure to get away from the busy city and touristy attractions. We were told the story of how the place came to be, we visited the firefly lab, took a tour of the farmer’s land and helped cook dinner before enjoying it by a candlelit dinner. At the end we got to see the fireflies over the rice field. Even our Gojek drivers waited for us to be done before driving us home <3 we made sure to pay them cash and they got a fat tip from us! Overall we recommend this tour and would rate it a 12/10. Thank you Wayan, thank you to everyone we had the chance to meet

Amazing experience to spend time with Wayan, his family and the resident scientists to learn about this important project to recover the local fire fly population. We learned about the project, shared a fantastic dinner out in the garden at night and then had the opportunity to see the fireflies in their natural habitat. It's a once in a lifetime experience so highly recommend the tour.

One of the most memorable activities and a wonderful end to the day. We learned so much about fireflies, the importance of it to the ecosystem, and why they are disappearing in this day and age. The hosts are so knowledgeable and friendly and we really felt so at ease and comfortable. While there wasn't a whole field of fireflies (please manage your expectations - they are doing their best to bring up its population) , it was still such a great experience to see the fireflies twinkle in the night, paired with the stars in the sky. The food was also so delicious and meticulously prepared and I enjoyed every bite. I would really recommend this activity if you are willing to travel out (please get a private driver as this is quite a far trip from Ubud Central). The session is very intimate and not suitable if you are travelling with people who are scared of the dark, icky with bugs, and noisy yappers.
