  This was a wonderful experience! It was just my friend and me, and everything felt so personal from start to finish. First, we were picked up for the one-hour drive — such a great convenience. We arrived at Pemulan Cooking School, tucked away like a hidden gem in the jungle, and were given a warm welcome. We began with a tour of their organic farm. Our guide was young, funny, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Afterward, we had what felt like a private cooking lesson. Since we had also booked the firefly night tour, the menu was slightly adjusted to fit our schedule — all fine with us. Because of the time, we didn’t make certain things completely from scratch, like the bumbu marinade or grilling the sate ourselves, but it was still a fantastic hands-on experience. After dinner, we visited our guide’s own home, where he shared fascinating insights into Balinese culture. He explained how every room, courtyard, and placement within the compound carries symbolic meaning and reflects local traditions. It was a unique and personal glimpse into everyday Balinese life, and we felt honored that he welcomed us to experience it. Finally, we went with the driver and our guide to a quiet spot among palm trees, banana trees, and rice fields to see the fireflies in the wild. It was a full moon that night, so the bright light made the fireflies gradually disappear, but it was still absolutely magical — the peaceful setting, the sound of frogs, and the feeling of being far away from everything. I highly recommend this trip — it’s fun, delicious, educational, and magical. And, at least for us, it was also incredibly calming, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Ubud. Definitely recommend

  We didn't realize at first that it was mainly a cooking class - but unexpectedly comes often and it was wonderful! A guide took us through the organic farm with explanations about the plants and cooked an excellent Nasi Goreng and other appetizers with us, after which another guide gave us a little insight into the Balinese construction and lifestyle in his home. To top it all off, we could all watch fireflies together in the rice fields! Highly recommended! The guides are super nice ind friendly.

  This was special. The farm is amazing. The insight into rural Bali life is lovely to see and the cooking went so smoothly due to the hard work of the organisers and the setting we ate at was enchanting, made even more so by the fireflies.

  I had the most incredible experience visiting an authentic Balinese village. The highlight of my trip was the traditional Balinese dinner we enjoyed, set in the midst of stunning rice fields. The scenery was just breathtaking, and as the evening went on, we were surrounded by the gentle glow of fireflies – it felt like a scene from a fairytale. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavors that were both new and familiar. Each dish seemed to tell a story of Bali’s rich culinary heritage. The hosts were so warm and welcoming, sharing their knowledge about the local culture and making us feel right at home. This evening was magical and so relaxing, a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I can't recommend this experience enough! If you're ever in Bali, you have to try this. It’s a beautiful way to connect with the local culture, enjoy amazing food, and soak in the natural beauty of the island.
