For solo women travellers with a passion for textiles and a curiosity for culture, Java offers a journey that’s both rich and rewarding. At Wacky Jacky’s, we’ve designed our textile tour Java Indonesia for women who want to immerse themselves in authentic Batik traditions, connect with local artisans, and experience Indonesia beyond the usual tourist trail.
Why Join a Textile Tour Java Indonesia?
Joining a solo female travel group Java means you’re never really travelling alone. We bring together women who value creativity, learning, and friendship. From the moment you land in Bali, you’ll be welcomed into a group that values shared adventure and personal growth. With Jacky and Wayan guiding the way, you’ll experience the best of Java with all the details taken care of.
Our journey begins in Bali, where we gather for a relaxed evening before flying to Yogyakarta. This city is alive with energy, famous for its night markets, street food, and vibrant arts scene. Staying in Malioboro puts you at the heart of it all, surrounded by the sights and sounds that make Java unique.
Exploring Java’s Cultural Heart
Yogyakarta is more than a starting point. Over two days, in our solo female travel group Java, you’ll explore iconic sites like Borobudur and Prambanan, two of Asia’s most breathtaking temples. These places aren’t just beautiful, they’re living testament to Java’s spiritual and artistic heritage. They set the tone for a journey that’s as much about inspiration as it is about exploration.
Throughout the textile tour Java Indonesia, you’ll have the chance to step into the daily rhythms of local life. Whether you’re tasting new foods, chatting with artisans, or wandering through lively markets, you’ll find that every day brings something new.
Hands-On Batik Workshop in Surakarta
The highlight for many is our Batik workshop in Surakarta. For four days, you’ll work side by side with experienced Batik makers in a bustling factory, creating up to 50 metres of your own fabric. You can break your work into smaller lots, choosing your own colours and tjaps (traditional copper stamps for Batik). There’s a real sense of achievement in seeing your designs come to life using methods that have been passed down for generations.
You’ll also visit a Tjap maker, explore the famous Batik Lane, and shop for beautiful Batik fabrics at prices you won’t believe. Each piece you create or take home is a tangible memory of your time in Java, a reminder of the skills you’ve gained and the stories you’ve shared.
Shopping, Markets, and Everyday Magic
Surakarta is a city that rewards curiosity. Our hotel is set in one of the largest shopping precincts, so you’ll have easy access to markets, boutiques, and local eateries. Whether you’re searching for beautiful Batik fabrics to add to your collection or want to sample Javanese delicacies, there’s always something new to discover.
Travelling as part of a solo female travel group Java means you’re surrounded by women who share your enthusiasm for creativity and adventure. Many of our guests forge friendships that last long after the trip ends.
Beyond Batik: Mountains, Reflection, and Relaxation
After days of creative energy in Surakarta, we head for the mountains. Telaga Sarangan is a peaceful town where you can take a breath, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on your journey. It’s a chance to rest, recharge, and savour the quiet beauty of rural Java.
We also offer optional Batik workshop sessions and plenty of opportunities to explore more markets and cultural sites. Whether you’re learning a new technique or enjoying a meal with friends, there’s always something meaningful to experience.
Candidasa: Rest and Celebrate on Bali’s Coast
After exploring Java, we return to Candidasa for four nights of rest and celebration. Here, you can unwind by the sea, treat yourself to a massage, or enjoy some quiet time. Our Bali Batik Store is nearby, so you can pick up more beautiful Batik fabrics before heading home.
Candidasa is the perfect place to end your journey. It’s peaceful, scenic, and a wonderful backdrop for reflecting on your experiences and sharing stories with your fellow travellers.

We design every Wacky Jacky’s tour to foster connection, creativity, and confidence for solo women travellers. From the hands-on thrill of a Batik workshop to the joy of discovering beautiful Batik fabrics, every step of this journey is about learning, growth, and friendship.
