Workshops

For something a little more relaxing, we have a range of workshops where you can learn about local handcrafting and traditional techniques. The Balinese have incredible patience when it comes to making things, which results in beautiful decorations and art pieces. You will be inspired to start making your own crafts back home. All activities can be arranged in advance or simply when you arrive.

 

Immerse yourself into the rich Balinese culture and learn new artistic skills. With years of experience and incredible patience, your Balinese guide will teach you woodcarving or show you how to make traditional Balinese flutes, baskets and kites.

 

You can also learn how to make traditional Balinese dishes with our cooking classes, make traditional coconut oil, or learn how to weave coconut leaves to make a shelter, which is a great activity to do with children.
