Follow a duck between two rice fields and see where it leads you…
Everyone knows that Bali is a fantastic place to visit, but now you can visit the real Bali, as described by insiders – including ecologists, anthropologists, Balinese journalists, sociologists and artists, while supporting environmental conservation efforts!
The Natural Guide to Bali is the essential new guide book for imaginative, responsible travellers.
With the motto: “Enjoy Nature, Meet the People, Make a Difference,” The Natural Guide seeks to bring together nature and people through responsible travel. The Natural Guide to Bali is a fascinating account of Bali as a destination for eco-tourists, as well as the extraordinary cultural experiences that Bali offers.

We believe that this book will benefit the tourists and local communities alike. Besides helping the people by increasing the inflow of visitors, this book also provides education both for the tourists and the local people, while supporting environmental conservation efforts.

This book is not just another guide book. It’s a guide book with a mission. The authors’ intentions and commitments shine through clearly on every page. Their mission is the laudable one of responsible, ecologically aware tourism. The aim is to provide the tourist with rewarding experiences while at the same time benefiting local communities. It is the first of a new series and I think it will become a leader. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Gorgeously illustrated, beautifully written and replete with maps for each area, The Natural Guide to Bali is exactly what one would expect from Equinox, a publisher whose collection of Indonesia-focused works shows style and substance. The guide deserves a place on any bookshelf, for not only is it invaluable for those of us concerned about our declining planet and those who make frequent trips to Bali, it is, simply, a fascinating read.The guide is a travel book specifically for today’s environmentally fragile world, in which tourism has also been blamed for environmental degradation and the assault on traditional culture.

Follow a duck between two rice fields and see where it leads you…Do like the Balinese: wake up early to catch the glorious mornings; nap during the afternoon heat…
This is not just another guidebook. It’s not just pointing you in the right direction or telling you what is in a place. It is written by people who love Bali, with the aim to make you feel the same, and to let you know why you should feel that way – to get the spirit of the place.
