About this tour
Spend two days exploring Ubud's creative scene, starting with the John Hardy Workshop where you'll watch jewellery artisans craft pieces sold globally. Next, visit the striking Kapal Bamboo structure—a 90-foot sculptural space shaped like a ship's hull—before heading to Ubud Royal Palace, a cultural cornerstone of the town. Hotel pickups cover Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur, Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua; an English-speaking guide leads the way in a climate-controlled vehicle.

What to expect
You'll start with a visit to John Hardy's workshop just beyond Ubud centre, where you can watch designers and craftspeople produce jewellery destined for shops across 27 countries. The atmosphere is working, not theatrical—you're seeing genuine production in action. Next comes Kapal Bamboo, an architectural statement that feels more gallery than shop, where the 90-foot structure itself is the draw. Finally, Ubud Royal Palace offers a glimpse into local heritage and royal history. Expect a paced day with plenty of stops for photos and questions. The guide will handle logistics; you handle the looking.
