Was fully immersive experience that was the first time for me, really incredible to do hands on batik art with both guidance and structure! Although there is 3 hours allocated you can stay longer for more layers of coloring or detailed design!

I did the ecoprint workshop with Ibu Pegi. It was really great! She explained what we were going to do and after that we looked for leaves and she also told me what colour they would become. After that the real work started. That was really nice to do. Ibu Pegi explained that whole proces and the girl made a lot of beautiful pictures and video's. I really enjoyed this, everybody was so nice and will do it again when I am in Yogya. I can highly recommend this workshop.🥰

The batik and cooking classes at Leksa Ganesha are fabulous! Pak Hanung provided the experience of a lifetime. He was patient in showing us how to use the batik tools (canting) and helpful throughout the creative process. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the village to learn about the community and how they work together. Ibu Tiru helped us fix a delicious meal and Pak Hanung sent the recipes to us in a follow-up message. Please do not hesitate to book this experience! It will be a highlight of your trip to Yogyakarta. The price is excellent for the services rendered. We tried a similar experience in Jakarta that cost twice as much and provided much, much less.

I had a wonderful experience. The tubing place was closed due to high rainfall so the driver spoke to the head office and found a new location to go to and arranged everything. We even stopped at a coffee place on the way back to Jogja. Everyone was very friendly. I found it hard to accept that villagers pull you up at the end however I was told it is an additional income for farmers and it is an equitable system between the owner and the farmer. I helped pull some people up and had a chat with a farmer whilst pulling someone up. They were very friendly and kept saying thank you, although I don't think I helped much 🤣

Top Things to Do in Yogyakarta FAQs

Hi! I am interested in the "2-Day Best of Yogyakarta with Insider Guide". However, is it possible to replace the day 2 activity at Timang beach with a cave tubing activity at Kalisuci instead? Intend to book this for 2 Adults. Pls let me know how the price difference (if any) will be managed. Thank you!
