Experience Highlights

Discover Local culture with a Balinese Family

You’ll begin the experience at Tiwi’s family home, where she’ll guide you through two important traditions: making coconut oil by hand, just as her grandmother taught her, and preparing simple Balinese offerings with flowers and intention.

Once the preparations are done, you’ll cook and share a homemade lunch together — full of flavor, stories, and laughter.

In the afternoon, you’ll head out for a slow walk through the rice fields surrounding the village. No noise, no crowds — just the soft rhythm of daily life and the chance to see Bali through the eyes of someone who lives it.

This is a moment to reconnect. With the land, with others, and with yourself.

Flora organised the perfect girls trip for us. From the car picking us up from the airport to the villa, where our scooter and even sim card were waiting for us in a gorgeous villa. The itinerary, the restaurant, sight seeing, loved everything. Simply the best.

I used baliwithflow services for my second and third trip to Bali as I wanted to have different experiences than the tourist-crowded areas. The team provided clear guidance, very punctual drivers and exceptional experiences. They have a lifetime customer here.

We used Baliwithflow to organize a family trip to Bali and it was perfect from beginning to end; Flora designed a truly tailor-made trip, off the beaten tracks with original experiences. It was very easy to contact Flora before and during the stay. Without hesitation we recommend Baliwithflow !
