See sunrise over Mt Batur, without the crowds. Best part: a magical starlit boat ride on Lake Batur

MtBatur_Caldera-23.jpg

This hike supports local communities by employing local Kintamani guides and directly paying the elderly landowner for use of her private land, ensuring income is invested back into the community.

As dawn paints the sky, you'll witness Mt Batur, Agung, and even Rinjani bathed in golden light – an unforgettable panorama that rivals any summit. But the magic doesn't stop there. Glide across the glassy surface of Lake Batur on a serene boat ride, the stars twinkling above and the cool air whispering promises of adventure. Feeling energized? You can either pamper yourself in the hotsprings overlooking the lake and volcanic mountains nearby in Kintamani or take a short boat ride to the Trunyan cemetery where you can learn about the villagers' unique "magic tree" burial traditions and get a glimpse into a way of life untouched by modern times! Here's what awaits you:<ul><li>Pick up:&nbsp;Convenient hotel pickup from Ubud or South Bali.</li><li>Boat ride:&nbsp;Cross the tranquil Lake Batur as the stars fade and dawn approaches.</li><li>Gentler trek:&nbsp;Conquer the caldera rim on a journey that's less strenuous than the Mt Batur trek,&nbsp;suitable for most fitness levels.

When was the last time you see a firefly?Our scientific observation shown that fireflies population is decreasing over time now in Bali. Mostly caused by the environment degradation and human behaviour. This phenomenon will continue to happen, if we don't take action. Fireflies decreased population in Bali inspired our regenerative movement to save the fireflies through "Bring Back The Light" You'll learn fireflies life cycles from a scientific perspective, and what caused their population are decreasing. We are also pleased to share about the fireflies from the Balinese cultural perspective., What to expect:<ul><li>An educative fireflies edu-tour at our lab</li><li>A short walk through a local plantation area to explore its natural habitat</li><li>Witnessing the magical light show of fireflies in their natural habitat (Based on its population cycles in the natural habitat)</li><li>Insights into firefly behavior and their connection to local beliefs.</li><li>Learning about firefly conservation and how you can help protect these wondrous creatures.</li><li>Engaging in a short cooking experience, making local dishes such as Moringa soup, Tempeh skewed with peanut sauce, Chicken stuffed inside bamboo and Mix steamed vegetable with grated coconut with the host's family member, and enjoying the meal you cooked.</li></ul> Important tips:<ul><li>Note:&nbsp;Depending on the location, there might be a small entrance fee to support local conservation efforts.</li><li>Difficulty:&nbsp;The walk is generally easy and suitable for most fitness levels.</li></ul> Why is firefly conservation so important?<ul><li>Fireflies are magical creatures that light up the night sky. They are a joy to see, and their presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. However, fireflies are declining in many parts of the world, including Bali.</li><li>There are many reasons why fireflies are disappearing. One reason is habitat loss. Fireflies need clean air, non-contaminated water, and fertile soil to survive. When their habitats are destroyed, they cannot live there anymore.</li><li>Another reason for firefly decline is light pollution. Fireflies use light to communicate with each other, and when there is too much artificial light, they cannot see each other. This can lead to problems with mating and reproduction.</li><li>Finally, fireflies are also being harmed by pesticides. Pesticides can kill fireflies directly, or they can make it difficult for them to find food.</li><li>The decline of fireflies is a serious problem. Fireflies are important pollinators, and they help to control insect pests. They also play a role in the food chain. Without fireflies, our ecosystems would be less healthy.</li></ul> By joining this activity, you'll not only experience the magic of these creatures but also support their conservation in the village. Your participation directly contributes to their protection and a sustainable environment.

Fireflies Safari with conservationist

Fire fly is a natural creatures which only active at night and full full of magic and wonder. Every country has different believes regarding this tiny bugs. And Balinese believe that this heavenly creature can lead the human spirits to heaven afterlife. It is known there over 2,000 species of the fireflies. They are recognised to be a bio indicator of clean air, non contaminated water and healthy soil.

Rumah Konservasi Kunang-kunang is a community based initiative to save the fireflies by doing in-depth research about fireflies through rearing, breeding, observation and experiment to increase their population for rewilding. We are also developing a pesticide free zone to protects its population in nature, by collaborating with the local farmers.

Why Fireflies Conservation Is
So Important?
Isn’t  sad to imagine, if the fireflies extinct, our future generation can only see their pictures, videos and animation movie?

The over development in Bali nowadays have caused the pressures to the fireflies population. The change of natural landscaping have created habitat loss, light polution and chemical contamination.

Many scientist agreed, that the presence of the fireflies actually mark the area as an indicator of clean air, non contaminated water and fertile soil. It is also an environmental indicator for biodiversity.
