The Amazing Race by Pharmaton
Through MEGA Active’s co-presenter, Pharmaton, guests participated in challenges designed to get their minds and bodies working. For example, they played Seven Degrees of Separation and Rebus or Bust, which tests their creativity and ability to brainstorm. Team challenges and friendly competition that involved swimming and blindfolded walking made the experience an extra delight, too.

Yoga
Shortly after the amazing race, the guests were guided through an invigorating yoga session. Yoga is a known mind-body exercise that plenty of studies suggests is beneficial for one’s mental and physical health.
With a day packed with activities, it’s imperative to have all the resources you need to keep you going. As Aiyana Perlas, one of the guests, testified online, she had all the energy to explore Bali thanks to Pharmation’s Energy Plus for optimum daily performance.

Cooking class
Third but not least is Klook’s five-hour cooking class in Sukawati. Here, the guests walked through Sukawati’s local market scene to pick out their ingredients in order to make some iconic Balinese dishes, such as Soup Ayam, Bumbu Bali, Ayam Bumbu Bali, Sate Ayam Bumbu Kacang, Pepes Ikan, Mie Goreng, and Kolak Pisang. As a twist, Ginseng was also incorporated into the dishes, allowing guests to understand the benefits and importance of this healthy plant. Learning to make these delicious and nutritious dishes will undoubtedly spice up anyone’s diet back home.
