What’s not to love about Bali’s pristine beaches, bucolic rice terraces and vibrant culture. But the island has so much more on offer only a fraction of visitors discover. On your next visit, take a trip away from the bustling tourist hubs and seek out Beji Guwang Hidden Canyon. A geological gem formed by a relentless river force over millions of years, Beji Guwang features a stunning labyrinth of rocky canyons framed by towering cliffs. About an hour’s drive from Bali Garden Beach Resort, the canyon is located in the village of Guwang, Gianyar. Visit during the dry season, typically from April through September when the water levels are lower so you can hike the canyon then cool off with a refreshing dip in the river pools. Ask Guest Services to assist you with organising transport and a tour guide to help you navigate the canyon safely and explain the history of the area.

A paradise for nature lovers, bird watchers from across the globe are travelling to our tiny island to catch a glimpse of the elusive Bali Starling (Bali Myna). Recently saved from the brink of extinction thanks to conservation efforts, this striking bird now has two Bali strongholds; in Nusa Penida and West Bali National Park. What makes this recovery so remarkable is the role local community played in reintroducing the bird to its natural habitat. As recently as 2015 there were just 57 known Bali Starlings in West Bali National Park however the latest figures now indicate over 450 birds in the area. Endemic to Bali, this stunning bird is stark white with black tipped wings and turquoise blue around the eyes.

Jean Burling is her name and to us she is affectionately known as “Mama Jean”. She has been traveling to Bali since 1979 and taught swimming and surf life saving skills throughout Indonesia for over 25 years. Mama Jean first came to Bali Garden in early 2000. Since 2016 she began teaching Agus (Front Desk Supervisor) and the security team in swimming and continues to do so every time she comes back to Bali. Mama Jean is hoping that all the staff can join in the swimming lessons, because for her “swimming is very important, as we live on an Island surrounded by the water” We at Bali Garden are so glad that Mama Jean has taught them so well and has also taught staff in rescue techniques in the ocean as well as the hotel pools. Thank you Mama Jean for the great work and passing on your skills so we can continue the training and create a safe environment for all !

INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP

Bali Garden — Wed, 11 Sep 2019 08:19:42 +0000

Harnessing the Power of People to Fight Ocean Trash

The International Coastal Cleanup began more than 30 years ago, when communities rallied together with the common goal of collecting and documenting the trash littering their coastline. The movement was catalyzed by the passion and spirit of two committed individuals. Back in 1986, Linda Maraniss moved to Texas from Washington, DC, where she had been working for Ocean Conservancy. She’d been inspired by the work her Ocean Conservancy colleague Kathy O’Hara was doing on a groundbreaking report called Plastics in the Ocean: More than a Litter Problem that would be published the next year. Linda and Kathy reached out to the Texas General Land Office, local businesses and other dedicated ocean-lovers, and planned what would become Ocean Conservancy’s first Cleanup. They asked volunteers to go beyond picking up trash and record each item collected on a standardized data card in order to identify ways to eliminate ocean trash in the future. The Cleanup has grown immensely in the 30 years since Linda and Kathy’s first Cleanup. Volunteers from states and territories throughout the U.S. and more than 100 countries come together each year and participate in a Cleanup event near them. Bali Garden Beach Resort will join this event that held on 21 September 2019 start from 07.00 – onwards along to the Kuta beach until German Beach. Many hotels in Bali also participated in this annual event that will held on the beach close with their hotel.
