had a great time cycling downhill. there were 2 guides with us. though I recommend not to buy from the coffee plantation, prices for the tea and coffee are alot more expensive then central market in Ubud, regretted buying. the cycling was fun and great scenery at the padi fields.

It was a much more serious class than I thought. It wasn't exactly traditional batik, but it was fun to draw with wax, although it wasn't easy. The teachers helped me a lot, making it easy for beginners to do, and it was easy for elementary school students.

The site is quite large, and there are some animal trails, so be careful. Just 10 minutes' walk from the entrance, there is a place where you can buy food for 50,000 Indonesian rupees and experience feeding the animals, so I think it's best to buy a normal admission ticket, pay extra for the food, and experience feeding the animals. The staff are very experienced, and if you hand over your smartphone, they will take pictures for you.

The ATV activity was amazing, even despite the rain in Ubud. Our guide was incredibly helpful, and the facilities were top-notch. We also had the privilege of accessing Cretya Ubud, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend it!

I was able to experience making coconut oil while visiting a local home. It was a bit hectic because of the rain, but it was easy to do and the staff was very friendly, so I enjoyed the whole experience.
