Step by Step

The experience begins with pick-up from your hotel (Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Sanur or Denpasar). An air-conditioned vehicle will transfer you to the NBC Marine Center, where the traditional Yakatabune, an elegant Japanese boat adapted to offer you maximum comfort in a natural environment, will be waiting for you.

You will set sail for the mangrove belt of Benoa. As you navigate through narrow channels, your guide will share fascinating facts about the local ecology and the species that inhabit this sanctuary of tranquillity. The aerial roots of the mangroves and the chirping of birds will envelop you in an atmosphere of authentic connection with nature.

Arriving at the heart of the forest, you will enjoy a carefully crafted bento dinner: white rice, grilled fish (salmon or mackerel), edamame, omelette, potato salad, hanpen, chikuwa, al dente vegetables, pickles, Balinese dessert, miso soup, iced tea and a local beer or soft drink. Each bite combines Japanese subtlety with the richness of Balinese spices.

With the sky free of light pollution, you will have the opportunity to observe the stars of the southern hemisphere, creating a magical atmosphere that culminates this unique evening.
