A lovely way to spend a few hours learning about the Batik craft. The artist's don't rush you which we appreciated. We were also grateful to use one of the talented artist's premade designs since we aren't the most creative!! Highly recommend and make sure to check out the gallery too

I booked this experience for the same reason that seek Sophie was started.. I wanted an authentic and insightful look into local life.. all other tours of batik and similar , that I could find were more touristy and offered the same things on all other trip booking sites..
We were not disappointed...this experience gave us an excellent opportunity to learn the highly skilled work of the batik artists in a relaxed and welcoming environment..all of the staff were so friendly and helpful... the batik class was fantastic and the staff helped us FIX our poor efforts into something that we can actually display.. we did the cooking class also and the lady who did this with us was great and food fantastic. They send you a menu choice beforehand where you choose what to cook... we enjoyed coffee and some music by Karon... karon then took us a walking tour of the village, explaining its history culture and aspects of daily life for the local people..it was very informative...the owner of the business was Tatang and he was also very friendly and helpful..
If you are looking for a tour that gives a bit of everything for a day out and enjoy chilling and learning about local culture then choose this tour... great job guys, I hope you continue your excellent service... first class. ...

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver picked us up right on time and the ride was very pleasant. Upon arrival at the plantation, we received a warm and heartfelt welcome from the owner and her team, which immediately made us feel at home.
After enjoying a welcome drink, we had the unique opportunity to plant our very own coffee tree, which will begin to bear fruit in about three years. We then picked ripe red coffee cherries and learned so much about the coffee plant and its fruits. Later, we roasted the dried beans over the fire and ground them ourselves – such a fun and authentic process! After that we were brewing and enjoying our very own coffee, accompanied by some delicious local snacks.
Throughout the visit, the entire team was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all our questions and share their passion for coffee. We truly enjoyed every single minute of this unforgettable experience and left with a deep appreciation for the effort and love that goes into coffee production.
This was a one-of-a-kind experience, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Yogyakarta!

It was lovely spending time with Leksa Ganesha and folks working with him. You'll spend around 3 hours learning the basics of batik, how to use wax to outline your design, and then dying. Everyone is really lovely, talkative, and was great experience as part of our trip in Jogja.

This was a big highlight of our trip in Yogyakarta! We had such a creative day! Hanung and the Leksa Ganesha team were so welcoming, friendly and helpful to me and my husband. We made beautiful batik art, and we also cooked and ate very delicious Indonesian dishes. We even caught our own fish to eat when we were given a tour of the village to see the different foods that the community grows. We were given free mineral water, tea and coffee. We would highly recommend this experience and we would love to come back again in the future. We were there from 10am - 5pm, so you should allow a full day for this (perhaps 9am - 6pm) so you can take your time. Thank you Hanung and Leksa Ganesha for your hospitality!

This activity was really great. All the people there were lovely, especially considering I came with my 6 and 8 yo daughters. They made sure it was safe for them to use the hot wax. It does not really take 3hrs, more like 1h30-2h, unless you want to do a lot of details, which is quite difficult for beginners. But the place is nice to hang out a bit afterwards and chat with other people and take a coffee. This will probably be one of the highlights of our trip to Indonesia!
