The Experience

Our slowest journey, and often the one guests write to us about a year later. You’ll stay with a host family in a fishing village on Kelantan’s coast — not a hotel dressed up as a homestay, but an actual spare room in an actual house, with a dinner table you’ll be expected to sit at. Kak Yan, who hosts most of our groups, has taught batik and songket weaving for over thirty years.

01
Day

Welcome to the Kampung

Arrival and a warm homestay welcome, with a simple orientation walk through the village before dinner.

02
Day

Batik & Boats

A hands-on batik workshop in the morning, then an afternoon visit to a traditional wooden boat-building yard.

03
Day

Paddy & Pedals

Cycling through kampung backroads and rice paddies, followed by a cooking class that ends at the family dinner table.

04
Day

Night Market & Farewell

A final morning free to wander, an evening night market visit, and a slow goodbye.

“You haven’t tasted gulai until Kak Yan has made it for you twice.”

— Mira, founder

Who It’s For

Anyone craving genuine cultural connection over sightseeing — families, curious solo travellers, and people who’d rather learn a craft badly with good company than see it done well in a museum case.

What You Might Take Home

A crooked piece of batik you made yourself, and — more often than not — a standing invitation to come back for dinner.

Very — it’s our most family-friendly journey, with an easy pace and hands-on activities kids tend to love.

A private room in Kak Yan’s family home, with shared meals and communal areas — simple, warm, and genuinely local.
