What to expect
Your guide will walk you through several temples, explaining the role of art and ritual in Balinese Hinduism. You'll see dancers rehearsing or performing traditional pieces, then move through studios where sculptors, painters, and weavers work on commissions and stock. There's a waterfall visit to break up the day. At each artisan space, you're free to browse and buy—no pressure, though the tour is partly designed to connect you with makers. Expect a moderate pace with plenty of stops for photos and questions. Bring comfortable shoes for walking between sites.
Good to know
Wear respectful clothing for temples; sarongs are provided. The pace involves regular walking and some uneven ground—not strenuous, but steady. Lunch is not included, so carry snacks or plan to eat independently. Bring cash for art purchases. Not suitable if you have heart or breathing issues.
