DAJUMA ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE

/in

Last week, the beaches in front of Dajuma saw an effort in their regular cleaning schedules due to the aftermath of a substantial rainfall, which purged nearby rivers and deposited a significant amount of wood and plastic waste along the shoreline. This environmental challenge sparked a remarkable mobilization of the “Green Warriors”, a dedicated group of volunteers from surrounding villages. The beaches, which are usually maintained with great care by our staff, required this additional attention to manage the sudden influx of debris, ensuring that the sands were returned to their pristine state. Well done to our staff and all the volunteers involved—your dedication is truly inspiring!

CYCLING AROUND DAJUMA

Cycling around Dajuma offers an incredible blend of physical and mental rejuvenation, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Bali’s nature and culture. As you pedal through the lush landscapes and vibrant villages, you’ll find that this experience goes far beyond just exercise. One fascinating aspect of this journey is discovering the rich musical heritage of Bali, such as jegog music, which was born just a few kilometers from Dajuma. This unique genre is created using bamboo instruments, and its rhythmic, melodic sounds and vibrations have a captivating quality that transports you into the heart of Balinese culture. Meeting the local people in the villages that are the cradle of jegog music is a true highlight. It’s here that you can deepen your understanding of the music’s origins, witnessing firsthand the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into creating these bamboo instruments. The cultural exchange that occurs during these encounters is nothing short of enriching, giving you a profound connection to Bali’s heritage. So, cycling around Dajuma becomes not only a physical adventure but a soul-enriching experience that allows you to explore the natural wonders and cultural gems of this magnificent island.

RICE FARMING FOR EVER

/in

6 years ago, the Renaud family from Switzerland stayed with us for a long time, very happy to discover this wild part of Bali and especially our rice farming activity. What a surprise for us to welcome them again this year! They not only came to stay with us, but also rebooked the same rice farming tour, which they say left them with so many good memories, especially for the children. They also brought photos from their first rice farming experience and they shared them with the farmers. They even took photos with the same poses as they did in the past. The two little children have now grown into strong and handsome teenagers. Enjoy your stay dear friends!

ECOTOURISM AT DAJUMA

Among all activities offered by Dajuma (https://www.dajuma.com/e-library/#activities–tours), there is one which is particularly appreciated by our guests: the ecotourism tour. It is  a unique ecotourism experience that showcases the breathtaking natural beauty of the island. An amazing trip in our 4WD Jeep around Pulukan Ecotourism State Plantation of Pekutatan village (1181 ha) where you will discover rubber trees, coconut and banana plantations, clove and vanilla trees. The process to make palm sugar is shown and explained to you. Cherry on the cake, as shown on the picture, the tour ends in paradise with a lunch taken at 300 m elevation with a panoramic view on the jungle and the ocean.

Through regular beach cleanup initiatives, they ensure that plastic debris is removed, the ecosystem is preserved and marine life is protected. Dajuma’s commitment to a clean beach environment sets an inspiring example to visitors and neighboring communities in promoting sustainability and responsible tourism.

CYCLING AROUND DAJUMA

Due to its location on the edge of the West Bali National Park, Dajuma is the ideal starting point for mountain bike rides, for all tastes and levels. The less experienced will choose the small roads that wind along the seashore in the middle of the rice fields. The more athletic will prefer the steep roads and paths of the national park. This is what our client and friend from Australia Sandy chose last week with her large family as pictured. These excursions are accompanied by Jupry our Beach and Tours supervisor. All allow you a close contact with the generous nature of Bali and also with its inhabitants always happy to speak with you when you cross their villages. Welcome whenever you want!

TREKKING AT STATE ECOTOURISM PLANTATION OF PEKUTATAN

/in

Dajuma is fortunate to be located on the edge of the West Bali National Park and the State Ecotourism Plantation of Pekutatan Village (1181ha). Last week we welcomed a group of 30 people who took advantage of a half-day of trekking around the plantation where they discovered rubber trees, coconut and banana trees, clove, coffee, cacao and vanilla trees. The process of making rubber was shown and explained to the group. The trek ended with a lunch at 300 m altitude with a panoramic view of the rice fields and the ocean. Not to be missed during your next stay!

BACK TO FAIRS

After a year 2020 without any tourism fairs all closed due to the pandemic, Dajuma was particularly happy to participate in the annual tourism promotion event, the now famous Bali and Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF). It ran from Tuesday (8/6) to Saturday (12/6) at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC) in Nusa Dua and brought together more than 150 buyers. Of these, 64 overseas buyers mainly from UK, France, Australia, some from USA and also Asian countries participated virtually, while buyers from Indonesia were able to participate physically. The tourism offer was represented by 125 vendors coming from 11 provinces of the archipelago. Puri Dajuma was at booth number A72. A good vintage that bodes well for a long-awaited return to normal!
