Join us for a day full of stories, learning, and fun as you explore Begawan’s work in conservation and farming in Bali.
Our tours take place on two unique sites, just five minutes apart: Begawan Gita Breeding & Conservation Centre and Begawan Giri Farm.
See Bali Starlings up close and feed the birds in our private breeding centre, then take a journey into heritage rice and gardening on our beautiful farm.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
"We were thrilled to spot some birds out of the cages and witness firsthand the positive impact this center is having on the bird population. Definitely worth a visit if you like nature, highly recommend!"
SAYAN CABANEL
"Very informative tour, lovely to see the birds up close and learn about how the conservation programme works. There were plenty of opportunities for seeing the Bali Starlings flying. It was wonderful to experience the serenity of the farms and surrounding areas."

For most visitors, we recommend our combined half-day tour – which explores Begawan’s Bali Starling initiative and regenerative farming model – together with a healthy lunch of farm-fresh, fire-cooked dishes in Begawan Biji restaurant.
If you have a special interest in rice cultivation or bird conservation, you can also opt to take our dedicated farm tour or Bali Starling tour, for deeper insight into these subjects. Our farm tour will take you to our permaculture garden, rice fields, nursery, composting house and poultry house. 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 three 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.
