Everything was unique about the visit to this special, authentic place, and the warmth and friendliness of the hosts. We got a tour of the camp and learned from the team of scientists about the life cycle of the fireflies. A short walk through the jungle was followed by dinner preparations and a delicious meal. After dark we got to experience the magic of the fireflies. Seeing them twinkle around the field while the stars were twinkling in the sky was nothing short of magical. I particularly enjoyed the conversation with Wayan, a visionary on ecotourism and conservation. Warmly recommend this unique tour!

If you’re looking for an activity for the evening/night after a flight, look no further. You will be treated to a delectable full course dinner (appetizer, black coffee/tea/coconut water, mains, dessert) cooked on the spot by Wayan’s sister. We did not have time for lunch and this meal really left us full and contented. We slept well after. The spinach chips may look like ordinary fried food, but it’s my first time eating such fresh fried spinach paired with self made tomato sauce, loved it! Pictures don’t do it justice, you will have to taste it! Seeing the fireflies fly and blink were left to be experienced near the end before dessert as night falls. How many fireflies you get to see flying around will depend on your luck, don’t expect too much. Wayan and his family/colleagues shared a lot of their passion and love for Mother Nature. Thank you all for what you do! To others: Please cater in about 2+hrs from landing time for any flight delays, to clear customs and to find your driver pick-up point. Also, do cater in additional time for traffic as they are mostly single lanes with high traffic. We were late but Wayan and his family/colleagues kindly waited for us. However, if they had more guests for that day, it might be disruptive for them. Thank you Wayan, his son & sister & the lab staff for hosting us, we wish all of you the very best!

A very special and unique experience to learn about these sensitive little creatures. Loved foraging for herbs and having the most delicious meal prepared by Wayan and his family.

It is not the conventional commercialised tourist experience, Wayan and the family is sincere, and the most beautiful part is they truly believe in what they doing, it’s beautiful! My advice (speaking from experience) for anyone who plan this trip, MUST add on transport arrangements because this beautiful location is quite far out, e-hailing doesn't work, unless you already have your own private driver.

Such a great experience. Not only did we learn a ton about fireflies, their meaning to the Balinese culture, their natural habitat and the ongoing conservation efforts, we also got to eat a delicious traditional dinner and hear about the history of the project. Wayan and his family were such great hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is even just a little interested in Balinese culture, food or fireflies. Thank you so much for having us!

It was so inspirational and educational learning about the ‘bring back the light’ initiative and seeing the fireflies light up. Truly appreciate the experience and all the work that you guys do and the yummy Balinese food! Unforgettable experience. As for tips I would just recommend socks and runners if possible as I had open toe slippers on and got ant bites on the rice field while foraging for natural leaves for dinner (fun experience but I’d come more prepared next time they were painful bites!)
