BIRD TOUR
Bali Starling Stories

A half-day nature conservation experience by Begawan
Begawan’s Bali Starling Conservation Programme began in 1999 when the foundation brought two breeding pairs from the UK to Bali. To date, the foundation has bred and released more than 135 Bali Starlings, and is the only private breeder in Bali that raises Bali Starlings exclusively for release into the wild. Begawan Foundation received the Tri Hita Karana Nugraha Award in 2015 for its work in conservation.
- The Bali Starling tour begins in the breeding centre and ends in our release site on the farm.
- All tours are led by Begawan’s English-speaking Indonesian team members.
- You may also have a chance to meet our farm workers, bird keeper, chef, and other members of our organisation.
- Tours start at 9am, are available from Tuesday to Friday, and run two to two and a half hours long, not including time for lunch.
- We ask for 24 hours notice beforehand so we can prepare well for your tour.
- Please bring your hat, comfortable shoes for walking, a refillable water bottle, and binoculars.
