About this tour
Start your day at a local market where Balinese shoppers gather for daily supplies, then move to a cooking class where you'll learn to prepare authentic Balinese dishes—meat or vegetarian—from scratch. No prior experience needed; instructors guide you through chopping, grinding, frying, and grilling satay over coconut shell. After eating what you've made, cool off at Secret Waterfall, where natural pools offer swimming and a chance to rinse off before heading back. The full experience runs 8 hours from pickup.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and drives you to a working local market—expect noise, smells, and vendors selling produce, spices, and meat for everyday cooking. You'll then spend 2–3 hours at the cooking facility learning hands-on technique: your instructor walks you through each step as you handle ingredients, use mortars and pestles, work a stovetop, and tend satay over an open flame. Lunch is the food you've cooked. The final stop is Secret Waterfall, nestled in jungle; you can wade, swim in deeper pools, and rinse off before departure. Travel time varies by your accommodation location but can consume up to an hour total.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wear clothes you don't mind getting wet or stained. Bring a towel and dry clothes for the waterfall. The tour mixes active cooking work with travel, so pace yourself.
