Volunteer Activities Beyound Teaching
Surfing and Yoya Retreat
You are located just 20 minutes (10kms) away from Balian Beach. Everything from a private villa to a resort to a classic Bali home stay can be found in Balian Beach. It’s one of the most relaxing destinations on Bali. There are good waves to do some surfing, or you can just chill, enjoy a cocktail, and watch the sunset. Watch the local fishermen cast their nets, and if you love Yoga, there is also the Balian Yoga Retreat.
Trekking the rice terrace fields
Just 200 meters from the Center there is a traditional population of Samaman, mainly rice farmers, so the area has a beautiful view of terraced rice paddy’s and hills where you can do sawah trekking. There are also traditional farming of coco trees and cattle farming. The local village children are happy to guide you around.
Trekking the beautiful Nungnung Waterfall
The waterfall is awesome and well worth the trek down of 590 steps. The views of the waterfall and the surrounding scenery are breathtaking. Descending into the valley is picturesque with the tropical rainforesttrees and the running water down the sides of the pathway. Taking a swim in the pool under the waterfall is invigorating.
