Indonesia Traveling Highlights

Reviews of our travelers in Indonesia

Since we began in 2007, we have been receiving a lot of feedback from our clients . We take all of them to our hearts and learn from them to keep improving the way we handle our trips in Indonesia as well as crews. While we can sit and talk with you how amazing our trips all day, it is surely best if you could see the positive feedbacks yourself. 

The best and greatest professionals!

We have been through Indonesia and repeated experience with them and the truth is that we have not had any problems. They organize everything from your arrival, local flights, transfers, hotels, etc., to different islands, friendly guides and they also speak Spanish. There is no doubt that I would count on them.

Trip Advisor

A trusted agency for your trip to Indonesia We made a 15-day visit with them to Indonesia, visiting Borneo, Java, Bali and Gili. They adapted very well to what we wanted, always in contact with Guiomar and once there everything was very well organized. We left very happy with the agency and with the guides they put us with. Definitively an agency in Spanish that you can trust

Unforgettable trip to Borneo!

I hired the klotok tour with them to visit the orangutan fields in Borneo. 3 days / 2 nights. Incredible journey. From the first moment, very good communication, explanation of the entire journey and good management. The trip itself a wonder, perfectly organized, everything in its time, large, clean and comfortable boat. The charming crew, always aware of what you may need. How I’d say the perfect ORGANIZATION. 

An unforgettable experience! I traveled with a friend. We took the tour to see orangutans in Borneo and I loved it. We did it in a Klotok with more travelers and the guide Isai who spoke Spanish and was also very fun. It was a great trip through the national park and a 100% recommended experience!!

We have been traveling with this agency for more than 10 years, which is run by a Spaniard Norberto and his wife Melysa. It has never failed us, every year they go out of their way to make routes in Indonesia, mixing relaxing adventures and diving I recommend this agency since they never leave you hanging, something easy in Indonesia Trip advisor

Hello Rendy,

Thanks for your email. Getting feedback of the customers is always so important and that shows that you really want to provide an excellent service. We were very happy about the trip and so comfortable with the crew. They were helpful and kind with us. We really enjoyed the time spent and we will recommend you for sure! I will send you some pictures when I get some time to transfer them to the pc.

I promised myself to write to you, because it was really a unique and unforgettable experience and this was certainly thanks to the whole team of our boat, Rambo 1. I would like to thank everyone, our guide , Andy Hartadi, Captain Safarudin the wonderful chef Ratna with his beautiful daughter and the always very kind and very nice Indra. All of them have helped to make this already fantastic experience truly unique. 

We did the 3d2n orangutan tour in November, with the guide Opi. The experience was incredible, not only for the trip of being in a Klotok in the jungle and seeing orangutans but for the service. We learned a lot and had impressive meals (something difficult, given that you are in the middle of the jungle), on an environmentally aware trip and employing local people. I hope they continue to grow.

Google Review

We have had a unique and incredible experience. From the first moment both the guide Isai, the captain of the Klotok, and the lady who attended us were very friendly and helpful, always with a smile and with great respect, and taking care of the details. The delicious food, the best of our entire trip to Indonesia, without a doubt !!!  Isai the best in the jungle of Borneo! hahaha … greetings from Tenerife, Canary Island.

Facebook Review

Traveling this year to Bali, Java Island and Singapore was amazing, but above all the quality of the service provided by Come2indonesia.com, they made the trip go on wheels, solving the inconveniences that arose, I would definitely recommend one and a thousand times, thanks to all the team.

Indonesia Tours & Vacations

If you thought Indonesia was all big resorts and Bintang, it might be time to check your atlas.

Because there isn’t really just one  Indonesia ... not when you’re an archipelago made up of 17,000 individual islands (only 8,000 of which have ever seen a human footprint). One minute you’re spotting orangutans in the jungles of Sumatra, the next you’re chowing down on an organic acai bowl in Ubud. You could be hiking the slopes of Mt Batur or kicking back on the sugar-white beaches of Gili Air (preferably holding a delicious tropical cocktail). Whether you’re looking for party, peace or paradise, the odds are good we’ve got an Indonesia tour that fits the bill.

Best time to visit indonesia.

Indonesia’s close proximity to the equator ensures consistently hot and humid weather in all seasons; however, its tropical climate means many areas are prone to periods of heavy rainfall. The wet season normally takes place from October to April and flooding can make the roads difficult to travel at times.

Popular vacation spots like Bali tend to receive large crowds during Christmas and school holidays but are significantly less crowded in shoulder seasons. Also worth keeping in mind are Indonesia’s various religious holidays. With a large population of practicing Muslims, Ramadan results in the closure of many services, so expect a quieter experience when traveling during Ramadan.

Geography and environment

An archipelago of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia works its way across several oceans, beginning with the island of Sumatra in the West and stretching to Irian Jaya in the East. In between, Indonesia includes a sizeable part of Borneo, as well as larger islands such as Java, Bali and Sulawesi. With such a broad selection of islands, Indonesia encompasses a variety of landscapes such as: thick tropical jungle, fertile rice fields, grasslands and volcanic mountain ranges. Indonesia’s ecosystems are full of a rich variety of flora and fauna including the very rare Sumatran tiger and elephant, the Javan rhino and the fierce Komodo Dragon. Indonesia is also famous for its incredible beaches and marine life. With thousands of kilometers of reefs, beaches, bays and lagoons, Indonesia is a diver's paradise.

Top 10 creatures of Indonesia

1. sumatran rhino.

Appearing almost prehistoric, the Sumatran rhino is smaller in both size and number than its African cousins. Covered in a reddish brown fur, the Sumatran rhino is a solitary animal, and has been quietly grazing the grasslands for thousands of years.

2. Sulawesi Giant Squirrel

Living deep within Sulawesi’s rainforest canopies, this enigmatic and shy rodent can be tough to spot, so stay quiet and alert if you want to catch a glimpse of one.

3. Sun Bear

A perennial favorite, the sun bear can be found on many of Indonesia’s islands. Perhaps suffering from ‘small bear syndrome’, these fiery characters are often quite aggressive, defying their nickname as the ‘Honey Bear’.

4. Sulawesi Macaque

Native to the island of Sulawesi, these crafty primates are known for being exceptionally social creatures. With family groups usually led by dominant females, Sulawesi macaques are a prime example of 'girl power' in action.

5. Sumatran Tiger

A noble predator with an almost mythical status, the Sumatran tiger stalks its prey deep within the jungles of Sumatra. With some estimates putting their numbers at just over 300, an international effort is underway to protect this incredible animal.

6. Javan Slow Loris

Slow in name, slow in nature. Don’t be fooled though, this super-cute creature packs a deadly punch – it is the world's only poisonous primate!

7. Long-Beaked Echidna

Inhabiting the island of New Guinea, this crazy critter snuffles about the forest floor using its large snout. Don’t expect to see many of these guys though; they are classified as ‘critically endangered’.

8. Komodo Dragon

The fearsome Komodo Dragon is the world’s largest lizard, often weighing up to 70 kilograms. Described as the ‘perfect predator’, this stealthy beast makes for an exhilarating sight.

9. Moluccan Flying Snake

Scared of snakes? Now you'll have to search the ground and the air as these aerodynamic reptiles have found a novel way to move between the treetops, by becoming airborne and gliding for up to 30 meters.

10. Babirusa

What do you get when you cross a pig and a deer? The odd looking Babirusa: a short and stocky animal with large, curled horns. Native to Indonesia, populations of these bizarre beasts are sadly in decline due to poaching and habitat loss.

Local culture.

The culture of Indonesia is diverse and varied across the approximately 6,000 inhabited islands. There are over 300 different languages spoken across the islands, however most people can speak Bahasa Indonesian. Despite the diversity, Indonesian tends to have a strong cultural bond, with the national slogan meaning Unity in Diversity. Religion is a big contributor to cultural identity in Indonesia, with everyone needing to have an official religion, which will be listed on their national identification card. Generally speaking, you can only marry people of the same religion as you. The majority of the population are Muslim and, but Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism are also practiced.

Food and drink

Here are some of the most popular foods and drinks you should try in Indonesia.

Satay is delicious skewered meat (often chicken), which is cooked over hot coals, covered in a spicy peanut sauce. Vegetarians can also try this sauce on rice cakes called ketupat. Satay is a great meal to eat on the run or equally good as part of a feast in a restaurant.

Beef rendang

Similar to a beef curry (although with less sauce and a richer flavor), Beef Rendang is a spicy dish that is traditionally served at special festive events like weddings. However, travelers will be able to sample this dish all over Indonesia.

Nasi Goreng

Indonesian fried rice known as Nasi Goreng is Indonesia’s national dish for good reason. This famous meal is eaten all over the world in many different formats, but what makes Indonesia’s rendition particularly special is the darkness of the rice, thanks to the use of thick, sweet soy sauce known as kecap manis.

These steamed fish dumplings served in peanut sauce are Indonesia’s answer to dim sum. The cone shaped packages can be made with a variety of fish including tuna, mackerel and even prawn. They’re a popular street food and can be found at many streetside stalls and restaurants.

Nasi uduk translates to mixed rice, and is a dish of rice cooked in coconut milk mixed with various herbs and spices. It is normally served with some sort of meat dish or curry.

Tea and coffee

Tea and coffee are the most common and popular beverages in Indonesia. They are often served sweeter than you may be used to drinking at home.

For most travelers, shopping in Indonesia will be very affordable, with opportunities to purchase authentic arts and crafts, including traditional batik clothing, woodcarvings, pottery and other unusual items. On bigger islands like Bali and Java, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to shopping opportunities. Tourist centers can be worthwhile if you are looking to buy handcrafted items like puppets, leatherworks and batik. Otherwise, explore local markets for clothing, shoes, antiques and other items.

At most markets, bargaining is encouraged. If you want more information about haggling in Asia, check out   this blog .

Festivals and events

There are many different religious and cultural celebrations in Indonesia, but some of the key public holidays include:

Galungan dan Kuningan

Celebrating the victory of light over darkness. Many believe their ancestors visit their relatives on earth during this time.

Kartini Day

The birthday of the national heroine Raden Ayu Kartini, who fought for women's education rights.

National Awakening Day

Celebrates the coming together of people from the 17,000 islands of Indonesia as a national identity.

National Batik Day

Celebrates the traditional batik clothing and is commemorated in October on the day when UNESCO first acknowledged batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2009.

Public holidays that may impact travel include:

• Lailat al Miraj
• Chinese New Year
• Hari Raya Nyepi
• Eid al-Fitr
• Ascension Day
• Buddha's Birthday
• Eid al-Adha
• Islamic New Year
• Birth of Prophet Mohammed

Please note the dates of Indonesia's public holidays may vary.

Top islands to visit in Indonesia

Bali might be known for its Instagrammable smoothies and rice paddies, but there is so much more to this island paradise than meets the eye. The mountain areas are second to none, the waterfalls are stunning and the beaches are iconic. Ubud is a yogi paradise, while a sunrise climb to Mt. Batur is perfect for hikers looking for a challenge.

Whether you're looking to hike and cycle or relax on the beach and in hot springs, we've got a  Bali tour  that'll tick all the boxes.

Learn about the unique Sasak culture on Lombok from the food, arts and crafts and farming. The secluded beaches are less visited than their Balinese neighbor, but no less beautiful. If your visit is over a weekend, you may also be able to witness a traditional wedding to experience the local customs, dress and feasting.

Explore both of these neighboring islands on our 15 day Bali & Lombok Adventure.

Komodo and Flores

There is only one place on earth to see the legendary Komodo Dragons in the wild, and that is Komodo National Park. Two of the more notable islands that make up the park are Komodo and Flores, both of which are great places to catch a glimpse of these famous reptiles.

Located in the Indonesian section of Borneo, exploring the jungle is an experience you’ll never forget. Keep an eye out for orangutans, meet with friendly locals and learn about how they work to conserve the wildlife in this largely untouched slice of paradise.

Join the adventure of a (wild)lifetime on our  12 day Indonesia Expedition: Orangutans of Kalimantan.

Indonesia travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do I need a visa to travel to Indonesia?

Passport holders for most nationalities are permitted to enter Visa Free for up to 30 days for tourism purposes. Please check with your relevant consulate or embassy.

Entry requirements: presentation of onward or return tickets, passport which is valid for at least 6 months. Visitors on Visa-free Short Visits must enter AND exit from certain airports and seaports in Indonesia including: Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta Airport), Bali (Ngurah Rai Airport), Yogyakarta (Adisucipto Airport) and Surabaya (Juanda Airport). This currently excludes entry and exist from Lombok (Bandar Udara International Airport). Visa-free Short Visits cannot be extended and cannot be transferred to another type of visa.

Some nationalities are required to obtain a visa on arrival, or in advance. Citizens of countries who aren't on the visa on arrival or visa-free lists are required to apply for a visa overseas before travelling to Indonesia.

Nationals of all countries planning to stay for more than 30 days in Indonesia have to apply for the appropriate visa at an overseas Indonesian consulate or embassy before their departure.

Local laws require that you must always carry identification. We recommend taking a clear photocopy of your passport photo page and photo of your visa (after arriving), to carry with you.

What's the weather like in Indonesia?

Indonesia has a tropical climate with a distinct wet and dry season and hot, humid weather throughout the year. Temperatures average 72°F to 90°F along the coast, but it's typically a bit cooler at higher elevations such as the Padang Highlands in  Sumatra  and Mt Bromo in  Java . The sea is warm all year, with temperatures averaging a balmy 79°F to 82°F.

Is tipping customary in Indonesia?

Tipping isn't mandatory or customary in Indonesia, but a tip of spare change or another small amount would be appreciated by restaurants, drivers and other service workers, especially if the service has been particularly good.

What is the internet access like in Indonesia?

Internet access is widely available in tourist areas like Bali, which has many internet cafes. Internet access is less common in rural and remote areas.

Can I use my cell phone while in Indonesia?

You'll be able to use your cell phone in most urban areas of Indonesia, although some of the islands or more remote areas may not have network coverage. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your cell carrier before you leave home if you wish to use your phone while in Indonesia.

What are the toilets like in Indonesia?

You'll have to adjust to different standards of hygiene and sanitation while in Indonesia. The standard toilet is of the squat variety and this may take some getting used to. However, western-style toilets can be found in large hotels and some tourist areas.

Can I drink the water in Indonesia?

Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Indonesia. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found, some hotels we stay in may have drinking water available. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Indonesia?

Major credit cards are widely accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in Indonesia. However, they may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas. Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases, since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Indonesia.

What is ATM access like in Indonesia?

ATMs are found widely throughout Indonesia, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be problematic in most areas. Some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so be prepared for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.

Is Indonesia accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely   accessible , regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Indonesia can be a difficult destination for travelers with disabilities because pavements are uneven and steps are frequent, paving is poorly maintained and footpaths are usually obstructed with parked vehicles, street stalls and debris. Accessible public toilets are rare other than in big modern shopping malls. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available only through specialist tour operators, but cars and drivers can be hired readily and are good value. Local guides are easy to find in tourist areas. Bali has a wider range of tourism services and more developed facilities, including some accessible accommodation options. Some sights such as Borobudur and Prambanan in Yogyakarta are partially wheelchair accessible. Visitors generally find that Indonesians are very welcoming and willing to help those with access needs. The Asian Para Games took place in Jakarta in 2018 and have helped raise the profile of people with disabilities in the country as well as give new direction for making facilities more accessible in the capital.

Is Indonesia safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Everyone should feel comfortable when they travel with Intrepid and we know that many of our travelers are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s important for our travelers to be aware of the local laws and customs in the destinations we visit as some countries have laws that discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people. We recommend you visit  Equaldex  and/or  Smartraveller  before you choose your trip for up-to-date advice and information about LGBTQIA+ related laws. 

Homosexuality is not currently illegal in Indonesia, other than in Aceh province (which is governed by Islamic law), however the LGBTQIA+ community has routinely been targeted and harassed by police.

Revisions to Indonesia’s criminal code that would allow prison sentences of up to five years for sex between unmarried people are being considered by parliament. These changes would criminalize same-sex relationships and advocacy groups are fearing a profound setback to human rights in Indonesia as a result.

A predominantly Muslim country, Islamic organisations have increasingly been pressuring the government on moral issues and in the past few years politicians and public figures have frequently been using anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric as a means to win votes. Gay dating apps and media portraying LGBTQIA+ behaviour as “normal” have been banned. Same-sex marriage, civil partnerships, and adoption are all illegal, and the lack of anti-discrimination laws means that attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community in Indonesia regularly go unpunished.

There are few gay-friendly venues outside of Bali. Because sex in general is a taboo subject in Indonesian society, the issue of sexuality is unlikely to arise while traveling here. The majority of the country is safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers, provided you are willing to be discreet and cautious with public behaviour. Bali, with its Hindu majority, has always been more liberal, tolerant and relaxed in attitude, however public displays of affection are still not the norm for any couples anywhere in the country. Upscale hotels will likely not have any issues with same-sex travelers sharing a bed, however at budget or family-run businesses if you are allocated separate beds you might feel more comfortable not to draw attention to your relationship.

Does my trip to Indonesia support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Indonesia directly support our foundation partner, Coral Triangle Center Foundation.

Coral Triangle Center Foundation

The Coral Triangle Center is on a mission to restore coastal and marine ecosystems in Indonesia through training and education. Over the last several years, coral reefs along the northern coast of Nusa Penida have suffered from widespread mortality due to irresponsible marine tourism, disease, coral bleaching, tropical storms and water pollution. Donations from our trips help their coral restoration project in Nusa Penida Marine Protected Area and support their educational outreach activities for local schools in Nusa Penida.  

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Rien à dire de plus. Pleins de souvenirs mémorables. Beau pays et des Balinais très souriants.

Seul l'hébergement dans les appartements n'était pas très sympa mais tous les autres très bien. Très satisfaite et du guide et Show more.. du chauffeur.

We did not apreciate the last restaurant in front of the beach The travel by bali was amazing

REQUENA MICHEL

Bonjour, Je tiens à préciser que mes critiques sont constructives et doivent vous permettre de vous ameliorer. Aucune notion historique sur Bali, Show more.. sa colonisation, quand, où, pourquoi, comment... Dans cette première semaine les 2 Wayan ont été parfaits. Le. Problème vient plus de ce que vous nous avez proposé vous voyagiste. Nous avons eu des désagréments tous les soirs dans TOUS les hôtels proposés (pas d'eau chaude, pas d'électricité)... Le seul endroit super bon ou nous avons mangé était à Ubud. La visite du marché était un attrape touriste. Il aurait fallu nous amener dans un vrai marché Balinais pour découvrir la nourriture et les gens. Il. Aurait fallu nous faire voir les waterfall. Trop de temples à mon goût, Bali est autre chose que cela. La visite des 2 derniers jours était inutile.m et ne vous a rien coûté d'ailleurs.... C'est moyen de faire payer la danse et le repas... Nous avons payer trop cher cette première semaine pour ce qui était proposé. Quant à la sortie dauphins sur Lovina ?! Une honte !!! 50 bateaux qui sautent sur le moindre ailerons qui dépasse !!! Nous n'avons rien vu du tout. L'hôtel était le pire d'ailleurs, encore de l'eau froide et des cafards plein la salle de bains. Les draps sentaient le moisi. Heureusement que sur le dernier jour là visite de l'école a mis un peu de joie. Sur cette deuxième semaine j'ai tout organisé moi même et nous avons vraiment découvert Bali Lembogan... Il vous faut faire des visites plus locales et d'autre lieu de festivité détente plus attractifs (Canggu, Ubud plus longtemps, waterfalls....). Nous ne recommanderons pas votre agence de voyage. Mais nous retiendrons la gentille, ma bienveillance le sourire à toute épreuve du peuple Balinais.

Damping if the bus was used. Space between chairs. Broken seat backs. Last hotel (Sadara) hygiene to be really improved (durty, smell). Lost of Show more.. time in one hotel asking one passport per couple despite other hotel only require passport of the group leader. Congrats to Kabal and the Drivers. Excelllent service of Kabal taking care of feedbacks and wishes of his customers. As well he is very fun making jokes all along the travel. Also the two drivers were always present at the right time opening the doors and welcoming as well as filling our water bottles.

GeneralElectric

Attention, plusieurs vol à l hôtel de lovina. Personnel peu fiable pour les chambres lors de notre promenade avec les Show more.. dauphins!

Excellentes prestations. Superbes hôtels. L'hôtel à Undusan était convivial, familial, et le personnel très agréable et aux petits soins pour Show more.. nous. L'hôtel Mélia est superbe mais trop impersonnel à mon goût car trop grand. Explications du guide très riches, et surtout gentillesse, accessibilité de la part du guide.

I would be good to have more authentic local cuisine and have the chance to have extra days at the Show more.. beach, based on the tour that we had with Total

Fabio Coutand

Excellentes prestations. Visites très riches en explication grâce à un guide qui aime son métier et son île. Merci à Show more.. Kabal pour sa gentillesse, son accessibilité et son sourire. TREMA KASI...????????

More local food, more time by ourselves

I would have preferred more authentic Indonesian food with local taste. Beach time was limited its better to include more free Show more.. time and beach sorties.

Martin Tammik

It was a very good trip ! Hôtel Umah Bali was very beautiful and personnel were so Nice. Hôtel Show more.. Meliá very good hôtel . We saw a lot of beautiful places. Kabal is the best guide I know. Many thanks to him and thank you also to the drivers.

Mireille Nicolas

Nyoman was really excellptional. Veru intelligent, knowledgable, kind, posititive, accomodating. I was truly impresssed by his teachings, from spiritual practices Show more.. to climate change. He’s a keeper. That’s not to say my driver was not great too. He engaged during our drive to also explain aspects of Balinese life, all the while driving safely and calmly. I couldn’t have asked for more

Bali Bucket List Tours

• Excellent - 412 reviews for Indonesia tours

I decided to go on this tour on my own at the beginning of this year and omg it was the best decision I think I’ve ever made. I met some incredible people and had the most amazing tour guide. Rio could not do more for his guests, he was so accommodating and made even the hard times (climbing up mount batur) funny. The tour it’s self is brilliant, you get to see so much in only ten days but not too much that it feels like all you’re doing is traveling from place to place. Thank you so much Bali bucklist tours for a perfect 10 days in Bali!

Bali has been a dream of mine for years and this tour did not disappoint! Got to do a bit of everything while still having some downtime. Our tour guide Ali did an incredible job of guiding us around and making it such a fun and unique experience. I’d recommend this tour over and over again!

PrestiGo Asia

• Excellent - 192 reviews for Indonesia tours

Prestigo Asia exceeded my expectations with their tailored toursin Bali. From the moment I booked, the process was seamless. Our guide, Dat always made sure my trip was going smoothly. I wholeheartedly recommend he and his team and look forward to traveling with them again.

Unforgettable Journey with Prestigo Asia We recently a 15-day tour with them, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment we landed in Vietnam to our final departure from Bali, everything was meticulously planned. The overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay was a wonderful experience. Flights were seamless, and the hotels and transportation exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Prestigo Asia for an unforgettable adventure!

Wanderlands Travel

• Excellent - 4,046 reviews for Indonesia tours

Overall very nice tour and kind tour guide Zio. Towards the end of the tour it seemed a bit loveless and unmotivated as there was not really any activities planned and free time all day. Also we almost always went to really fancy and expensive places for lunch which I would prefer to also go to less expensive and more authentic places. Except of the Pub crawl in Gili in advance it did not say that it will be that much party which is not bad but would have been nice to know. Overall a great experience with many memories I won’t ever forget.

For anyone who has not traveled to Bali before this tour allows you to see both aspects of the party life as well as the culture. I very much enjoyed my time during this tour meeting new people, meeting the locals of Bali and Lombok seeing both the beauty in the land and being guided by the tour leader on what to eat for the local cuisine.

G Adventures

• Excellent - 19,172 reviews for Indonesia tours

The tour was an excellent, fast way to explore the basics of Bali!

Overall the tour was great, lots of variety of places to see and very good accomodation. The one downside was the "optional activities" that were offered while en-route. I was physically unable to do a couple, which meant waiting by the transport until everyone returned, and some days there were too many options. On other tours options are usually offered once we arrived at our destination. The age limit in the notes was up to 90 years old, and I doubt anyone of that age could do some of the challenging climbs etc. The trip notes were incorrect for Gili islands, stating little electricy, fresh water & basic accomodation. The tour is now done from Gili T (& has been for 5 years) which was very modern with lots to do. The incorrect trip notes would put many people off of this tour.

This trip was amazing. It was packed full of activities that I never would have chosen to do if I planned a vacation for myself. From surfing to snorkeling to exploring temples and rice gardens, this trip had it all. The Gili T island was absolutely beautiful. And none of this would have been possible without our amazing tour guide Austin. He was very proactive and handled emergencies with grace.

Had the time of my life, would recommend to anyone

Excellent daily activities arrangements

Incredible adventure!! I personalised this tour to skip Bali and went to Ubud and Komodo. The hotels used were fantastic and very well located, with the views in Komodo out of this world. The driver guides for the day trips in Ubud friendly and knowledgeable and we saw so many cool places, they even took us to extra sights we wanted to see. The boat trip to Komodo was the highlight with the most stunning beaches I've ever seen, and of course the huge Komodo dragons. Communication from Vio Travel was excellent from start to finish, as well as there local contact via WhatsApp when in Indonesia, there was always someone to ask any questions or assist. I highly recommend this trip and Vio Travel, thank you!!

it was soo fun day ????

Reiseleiter waren sehr freundlich und auskunftsfreudig. Die gewählten Aktivitäten waren gut gewählt und interessant. Die Unterkunft war sehr laut und in einer eher abstoßenden Gegend (lauten leeren Bars, zahllosen Tatoostudios und Touristen, die kein Land gerne zu Gast haben möchte)

Es war sehr schön. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Die zwei Wochen gingen so schnell wir haben so viel erlebt. Wir als Gruppe hatten immer viel Spaß gehabt.

This was my first time with One Life and it was amazing. There was a lot of variety from snorkelling on Gili T to exploring the forest and seeing the monkeys on Ubud. The authenticity of Ubud was beautiful! Overall you get to see what Bali has to offer on those 12 days and it was worth it! Our guide Putri took such good care of us and made sure we were all happy!

Most of the hotels were substandard. Especially in Thailand and Bali. The tour guides were very good and polite. They were accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing!!! Tour Radar fixed and answered all my questions and requests. The tour guides were knowledgeable, attentive, made efforts to accommodate extra tours, spa times and others activities outside of the tour in our extra days. The hotel was also excellent. I am grateful for the kindness of Bali people I will definitely recommend Tour radar and to visit Bali! I willl comeback…

15 things to know before going to Indonesia: culture, etiquette and safety

Dec 7, 2023 • 10 min read

From etiquette to safety, here are 15 things you need to know before you go to Indonesia © ErmakovaElena / Getty Images

If you’re looking for culture, activities, wildlife or sheer adventure, Indonesia  is one of the richest countries in the world. With an estimated 13,466 islands, it's a whopper too. But Indonesia beyond Bali and Lombok (and the Gili Islands ) remains largely unknown to many travelers. To pick just one example, Sumatra (80 times the size of Bali) is almost a world in itself. And yet people ask the question: “Is Indonesia worth visiting?”

Of course! This chain of islands – many culturally unique – stretches west to east across more than 5000km (3110 miles), making it one of the world’s most excitingly diverse countries. From getting ready before you go to important etiquette and safety information, here are 15 things you need to know to help you plan your trip to Indonesia.

1. Pick the best season depending on where you're going

Most visitors to Bali do their best to avoid the rainy season (normally November to March), but there is really no bad time to visit Indonesia. Even at the height of the monsoon, rains are normally short and sharp and can form an unforgettably dramatic sound and light show. You will often have several bright sunny days between relatively brief storms. There are benefits too in reduced crowds (and dropped prices) since this is also low-season… but the greatest disadvantage comes with the first rains of the year that wash plastic trash (one of Indonesia’s greatest problems) down the rivers and onto the beaches.

At other extremes of the archipelago,  West Papua and the Maluku Islands tend to have their dry seasons between September and March. Giant Sumatra (1000km/620 miles long) and Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) are big enough to have weather patterns all of their own. As a general rule, March to October is a good bet for avoiding the heavy rains in these areas. This can be important in jungle regions since some areas might be inaccessible during the rains.

2. Choose the right visa

It is possible for citizens of the UK, USA, Canada and Australia to be granted a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at some international airports, seaports or land crossings. However, it is best to apply for an e-Visa (e-VOA) at least 48 hours before departure instead. This can also be extended for a further 30 days. The initial 30-day tourist visa costs around US$35. Make sure you have at least six months before your passport expires before departure. 

If you're planning to stay longer in Indonesia to work or study, there are different visa options available. For citizens of other countries, check your visa options and  apply online . 

3. Learn a few words and phrases in Indonesian

It’s been said that one in 10 of all the world’s languages are spoken in Indonesia. Many islands have their own unique languages (some have hundreds), and English is spoken only in tourist areas. Fortunately for the traveler, Bahasa Indonesia (literally "Indonesia language") is spoken by everyone, with the exception of the youngest preschool children and some of the elderly in rural areas.

Indonesian is a relatively easy language to learn and people from all walks of life will appreciate even minimal efforts to communicate in their own tongue. (Bahasa Indonesia shares much in common with Malay, so your efforts to learn the language will also serve you on trips to Malaysia , Sarawak  and Sabah ).

4. What to wear: pack for the tropics, but be respectful

Indonesia is tropical, and wherever you go in this country, you’re likely to want shorts, t-shirts or beach clothing much of the time. It can be surprisingly chilly in the highlands, however, and if you plan to do some trekking or volcano climbing, you will appreciate some warmer layers. Also beware that transportation (planes, trains and buses) are often surprisingly cold, and air-con units in shopping malls and hotels are often set to frigid levels, allowing fashionistas to dress in the sort of chic style you might associate with a European fall.

Even in beach areas, it’s considered extremely impolite to walk around shirtless (especially to enter a shop or restaurant), although you will see this often in the party areas of Bali. Male Indonesians will often be shirtless if in the comfort of their own home but would never dream of removing a shirt on someone else’s property.

If you are visiting temples, you will often be expected to wear a sarong and (for women) to cover your shoulders. Religious buildings and ceremonies in most parts of the country will often be off-limits if you’re wearing shorts. In most of Muslim Indonesia, dress codes are relatively relaxed, but you are likely to feel more comfortable (and appear more respectful) in long pants in communities that are predominantly Muslim.

5. Buy a local SIM card and download useful apps

Buy a local SIM card upon arrival at the airport so that you have calling credit and internet data wherever you go. It is inexpensive and easily done – staff will upload and activate the card for you within a couple of minutes. Make a note of your national consulate or embassy contact details in case of emergency.

Prior to traveling, download the transportation apps for Grab and/or Gojek . For  solo travelers , this may be reassuring because drivers/riders are vetted and reviewed, and there is a security alert button to hit if you feel threatened.

6. Etiquette includes respecting your hosts’ religious beliefs 

Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim country. While this is true (87% of the country’s 275 million people are Muslim), it is also misleading since – with the exception of Aceh (northern Sumatra ), where Sharia law still prevails – Indonesia’s Islamic restrictions are very relaxed. Indonesian Muslims are also among some of the most hospitable people you will ever meet.

Vast tracts of the country are also predominantly Christian (large sections of the Maluku Islands, for example) and Bali itself is almost entirely Hindu. Intermingled with these "formal" religions – and sometimes almost inseparable from them – are an entire spectrum of animistic beliefs. Your trip will be all the richer for any attempts to understand and appreciate the beliefs of your hosts.

7. Kick off your shoes when entering a building

Most people realize that in Asia, you shouldn’t walk into a house wearing shoes, but it surprises many visitors to Indonesia that this also often extends to homestays and sometimes even to hotel rooms. While it is not strictly necessary, many owners of small souvenir shops also appreciate your politeness in leaving slip-off shoes at the door.

8. Never ask elderly people their names

In many traditional communities (including rural Bali) there’s a strong prohibition on speaking the name of an older person. The gods have a list of people who are "due to be called," and there’s a pervasive belief that speaking a name can remind the gods that someone has been "overlooked." Older women are invariably known simply as Nenek (grandmother), and older men are most commonly known as Bapak (mister) or Kakek (grandfather). In general, an older person should always be referred to respectfully as Pak (mister) or Ibu (mother).

9. Offer a gift to your hosts

If you’re visiting a family home, a small gift (an oleh oleh ) might be appreciated – especially something that is representative of your own country. Locally bought sarongs – often available for just a couple of dollars – are a conveniently lightweight alternative. It’s considered uncouth for an Indonesian to make a big fuss about receiving a gift, so don’t feel offended if it is received with just a brief word of thanks and then carefully put away (still unwrapped) to be inspected later.

10. Staying safe in Indonesia: there's a small risk of pickpocketing

In general, you are more at risk of crime in a European or American city than in Indonesia, and most trips are hassle-free. However, it's worth staying alert in crowded bars and marketplaces as there’s a small risk of pickpocketing or being approached by scam artists here.

The vast majority of Indonesians from all regions (and all cultures and religions) are instilled with an almost inviolable tradition of hospitality towards strangers and travelers. Wherever you travel throughout the world’s greatest island nation – among the fabled Dayak ex-headhunter communities of Kalimantan or among the ex-cannibal communities of the Batak (Sumatra) or Asmat (West Papua) – you’re likely to realize very quickly that you are among friends. Almost uniquely, Lombok has a reputation for organized robberies on quiet roads, but elsewhere, community law is usually enough to ensure that such penjahat (evildoers) are promptly punished.

11. Be prepared for volcanoes and earthquakes

Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are almost a daily event on the Ring of Fire. The excellent Volcano Discovery site and app provides up-to-the-moment details (and alerts) – and some fascinating background reading – for almost 200 Indonesian volcanoes. When there's heightened activity, be sure to respect official advice concerning exclusion zones.

During a period of particularly regular and intense earthquakes, travel with a small lightweight (particularly sensitive) wind chime – the sort you’d usually string up in a garden. Hang it in the wardrobe (away from the fan) in hotel bedrooms, and it serves as a very effective early-warning system for tremors.

12. Drug laws are extremely strict in Indonesia 

Indonesia has some of the strictest anti-drug laws on the planet. Possession of illegal narcotics can result in up to four years imprisonment, while a conviction for trafficking can often result in a death sentence – carried out by firing squad.

13. Know the laws regarding LGBTQI+ travelers

In Aceh, where pre-marital sex, in general, is considered a crime, same-sex relationships are also criminalized. This is the case to a lesser extent in the Sumatran city of Palembang. Throughout most of the rest of the country, discreet same-sex couples will find themselves welcomed.

Displays of public affection, regardless of sexual orientation, are considered inappropriate by typically conservative Indonesians. Parts of Indonesia – especially Maluku – have traditionally had a very natural acceptance of waria (considered to be men born with women’s souls), but increasing anti-LGBTQI+ rhetoric among politicians is making the situation harder for Indonesians in same-sex relationships. Few Western-style tourist hotels have an issue with same-sex couples sharing rooms, but, especially for travel in more off-the-beaten-track areas, increasing numbers of same-sex couples appreciate the anonymity of booking through sites like Airbnb .

14. Get up to date with vaccinations before you go

Travelers to Indonesia should check official sources such as their embassy or consulate for what vaccinations are required for your visit at least eight weeks before travel. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are recommended. Typhoid vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis are also recommended for some areas. If you are coming from a country with a prevalent risk of yellow fever, you may be required to produce a yellow fever certificate upon arrival.

15. Don’t drink the tap water

Even locals don’t drink tap water in Indonesia; they buy bottled water or boil it. To be on the safe side, where possible, use bottled water for ice and for cleaning teeth, too. Indonesia suffers from a problem with plastic garbage: if you are staying in a property for more than a couple of days (or are traveling in a group), consider buying a big 19-liter bottle (known locally as a galon ), which you can then exchange for refills, rather than run through scores of liter bottles throughout your stay.

Building Jagorawi Toll Road: Indonesia's First Highway

In the 1970s, the United States, through USAID, provided crucial support for the construction of the Jakarta-Bogor-Ciawi (Jagorawi) highway. At the time, Jakarta to Bogor was one of the most heavily traveled routes in Indonesia. Around 9,000 vehicles each day made the 37 mile journey, and congested roads could slow travel to 25 miles an hour. With USAID support, Indonesia built its very first highway—the initial 60 kilometers of what has now become a national highway network of 2,800 kilometers and growing.

As Indonesia’s economy rapidly expanded, daily traffic between Jakarta and Bogor doubled between 1969 and 1971, and the modest roads being used at the time were not equipped to manage the increased flow. Working closely with Indonesia’s Ministry of Public Works, USAID contributed $26 million to finance construction and bring in experts to oversee the quality of work to ensure it met the highest global standards. These financial and human capital investments led to the construction of a robust highway that has stood the test of time across more than 45 years.  

After completion of Jagorawi in 1978, travel times between Jakarta and Bogor were cut in half. The new road was quickly embraced by travelers, providing a smooth ride between these two important cities and a gateway to West Java. Within three years of opening, more than 27,000 vehicles used this scenic road each day—a demand that well surpassed the anticipated number of cars expected over 30 years! 

“USAID was one of the only donors willing to take on this project. If Indonesia didn’t build Jagorawi during that time, I can’t imagine how it would be now with the traffic that has developed,” says former USAID engineer Philip Tjakranata, who worked on the Jagorawi program.

Today, Jagorawi still stands strong. With more than 400,000 vehicles traveling on its broad shoulders each day—on their way to work or school, visiting family, or transporting goods to sell in Jakarta—the Jagorawi highway is a daily reminder of the durability of the U.S.-Indonesian partnership.
