Your Activity

Stingless Bee Workshop & Honey Tasting
Your morning begins at Pak Nyoman’s home bee farm, a quiet family-run space surrounded by flowering plants that feed the stingless bees. Here, you’ll learn how these tiny bees live, how their honey is made, and why Pak Nyoman chooses a fully natural approach. No sugar feeding, no pesticides, and no forced production. You’ll see a hive opened safely and watch a real harvesting demo. The session ends with a hands-on moment where you can taste the honey, and later on, you will get your own 100 ml of Madu Kele-Kele honey to take home.

Village Lunch & Relax
After the workshop, enjoy a slow, simple lunch under the shade of the trees. This is your time to unwind, you’re free to explore the small farm, ask Pak Nyoman about farming practices, browse honey products, or simply rest and enjoy the village atmosphere before heading to the river.

Lazy River Tubing
The day continues with a short ride to Penarungan for an easy, peaceful tubing experience. You’ll float along a gentle river framed by bamboo groves and greenery, letting the current carry you through the calm water for about half an hour. It’s relaxing, refreshing, and a perfect way to end the day.

Our Impact

Supporting Local Farmers
Every visit supports Pak Nyoman’s family and their effort to keep traditional honey production alive. Your visit helps fund new bee-friendly plants and shares knowledge about Trigona bees with the younger generation.

Bees First, Always
At Madu Kele-Kele, the Trigona bees are cared for with respect. Honey is only harvested when there’s extra, so the bees always keep enough for themselves. The hives are placed in quiet, pesticide-free areas surrounded by natural flowers.

Your Activity

Coral Restoration in Padangbai
Start your day in Padangbai, a seaside town in Karangasem best known for its port. But beyond the boats and ferries, Padangbai hides a beautiful underwater world full of life. Here, you’ll meet communities working to protect and restore the coral reefs. After a short briefing, you’ll head out to the pontoon to help make a reef star, an important part of the coral restoration project. Later, you can dive or snorkel to see the conservation site and experience the vibrant marine life up close.

Community Time at Wholesome Hub
Back on shore, unwind with everyone over coffee or fresh juice at the Wholesome Hub. Learn more about their journey, the challenges of marine conservation, and how local communities are working together to protect Bali’s reefs for future generations.

Traditional Salt Farm Visit in Kusamba
In the afternoon, head west to Kusamba, a seaside village where salt-making has been a way of life for generations. Here, you’ll meet Pak Warta, one of the last few people still keeping the traditional craft alive. He’ll show you how seawater is spread over black volcanic sand, left to dry under the sun, and then gathered by hand to form pure, natural salt.

Our Impact

About the Community You’re Supporting
Meet the people behind our Karangasem Trip — two communities connected to Bali’s sea and coastal traditions. In Padangbai, the Livingseas Foundation works with local divers to restore coral reefs and protect marine life, ensuring lasting impact for the ocean.

In Kusamba, Pak Warta continues the age-old craft of handmaking salt using seawater, black sand, and sunlight. By joining this trip, you help support their efforts to preserve both Bali’s marine and cultural heritage.

Using Tourism to Protect What Matters
Tourism drives most of Bali’s economy, but it doesn’t always give back to the people or the environment. This trip is designed to change that. By joining, you’re helping turn travel into a force for good — supporting coral restoration, preserving traditional salt-making, and empowering the local communities that keep Bali being “Bali”.
