Opplevelse med kokosoljeproduksjon og tradisjonell saltfarm på Øst-Bali

Our driver and guide Eka came punctually to pick us from our hotel. The ride to Eastern Bali was quite long (>1hr). Eventually we reached our host’s house where we were warmly welcomed with coffee and some cakes. We were shown how to grate coconut with traditional tools and the kids had a fun time squeezing the coconut milk by hand. While waiting for the milk to cook for oil extraction, Eka brought us around the family’s ancestral temple for a visit and explained in detail to us the cultural significance and practices of ancestor worshipping etc. It was an eye-opening session and we learnt a lot. We were then treated to delicious home cooked lunch by the host. The visit to the salt farm was also very interesting. Pak Nyoman welcomed us and showed us how he harvest sea water to make salt. He enthusiastically took pictures with our kids. The only thing that I think need slight improvement is probably the host covering the cakes with a net or something cos there was quite a bit of flies.

If you want to experience local market and walk into local houses and experience the deepest locak culture, you must try this activity!! Thae whole family was really kind and nice, also it is great to learn their culture!

導遊駕駛技術良好，我和朋友得到良好的睡眠。我們先到觀看海鹽的製作，但可觀看的東西有限，亦沒有參與製作過程。有走訪傳統市集，並向我們介紹印尼傳統的食物。行程最主要是椰子油的製作，我們到訪導遊的家中，他為我們提供一些小吃和茶。可以參與椰子油和青咖喱的製作，和介紹製作的工序。最後在導遊家享受午餐。

ノマンスタバンさんにご案内して頂きました。始めに庶民的な市場に行って、現地の方達がよく利用する店に連れてもらい、新鮮な食材が沢山ありました。その後ノマンさん宅にてタピオカのチマキのようなおやつや珈琲を頂き、ココナッツオイル作りや、カレーや副菜なども一緒に作ってランチして、とても楽しい時間でした。1からココナッツの実を剥がして削ってろ過して、この工程が初めてでとても面白かったです。それから海に塩作りを見に行きました。手間のかかる塩作りを見て、ミネラルが沢山入った塩はとても貴重だと改めて感じました。皆さんに親切に教えて頂きとても充実した一日になりました。本当に有難うございました。　

Đây thật sự là một trải nghiệm thú vị, sự hỗ trợ của Putu và gia đình anh ấy là vô cùng tuyệt vời. Chúng tôi đã có một ngày lăn xả hết mình để hòa nhập với đời sống của người Balinese. Tôi rất vinh dự được đề xuất dịch vụ này cho bất kỳ ai nếu họ muốn có một trải nghiệm khác với cái cách mà họ đã đi du lịch.

Amazing experience at a local's house. Got to understand more about the culture, houses, way of life and traditions. Got dropped off on the way at a coffee plantation as well for coffee.

Sri is a very friendly personnel that brings us around the spots and chatting us up, the family that we made the coconut oil and lunch together is very accomodating too as well, the friendliness in Bali never lies.

Vi reiste i omtrent 2 timer fra Sanur til øst for å få denne opplevelsen. Det føltes ekstra spesielt å oppleve dette i et privat hjem. Vanskelighetsgraden for å lage olje og mat er enkel, så det passer fint å gjøre med barn. Jeg syntes imidlertid det var litt synd at vi bare fikk se oss rundt på et begrenset område i saltlandsbyen. Selvfølgelig er det å besøke slike steder og se dem med egne øyne en verdifull opplevelse, men etter å ha brukt nesten en time på å komme oss dit fra oljeverkstedet, fikk vi bare se oss rundt i 5-10 minutter før vi dro tilbake. Selv om vi ønsket å bli lenger, var det ingenting å gjøre... Det føltes litt meningsløst å ha reist så langt for noe det ikke var noe å gjøre med. Uansett, det var en morsom opplevelse! Kokosoljen vi laget selv luktet virkelig godt. Vi fikk ta med oss den kokosoljen vi laget, så det kan være verdt å prøve det selv.

とても記憶に残る1日でした。ガイドのIwayanさんは、多少日本語も話せます。観光地でない本当の地元を体験することができます! ローカルしかいない市場を見学したあとは、そこから車で15分位のIwayanさんの自宅へ。 本当にご家族で暮らしているお家で、アットホームな雰囲気のなかコーヒーとバリ菓子(ココナッツ付のういろうみたいな、どこか日本人には懐かしい味です)をいただき、ココナッツオイル作り、グリーンカレー作りを行います。子連れ(3歳、0歳)で参加しましたが、彼のお母様にはぐずる赤ちゃんを抱っこしてココナッツオイルマッサージまでしていただき、とてもお世話になりました。グリーンカレーは、肉類を入れずに自然のものだけでこんなに美味しいなんて、感動しました。オイルも含め、余すことなくココナッツを使い尽くす地元の知恵にも感動です。 塩田見学は、海水を凝縮させて乾かすだけという、伝統的すぎてにわか信じがたいほどでしたが、とても旨味があり美味しいお塩でした。 ドライブ中も終始いろいろな説明をしてくれて、バリ島の文化の理解がとても深まりました。 まだ新しいツアーだそうです。 Iwayanさん、ありがとう🙏

This is certainly the one of a kind experience I never imagined to have. Iwanyan kar was an excellent host and guide. We were picked up at our hotel early in the morning. During the 2 hour drive, he introduced to us the culture and beautiful scenes of the places we drove by. When we got to the site, we were greeted by his lovely family and brought us coffee and traditional dessert. During the visit, we were able to make coconut oil and green curry from scratch. Iwanyan kar has everything prepared. So you won’t need to worry a thing. It was definitely a trip I would recommend to anyone who’s keen on exploring the Bali culture and lifestyle, and anyone who’s tired of the typical tourist attractions.
