We had the best time! The included activities were fantastic especially the mount Bromo hike and the cycling tour. I also highly reccomend the snorkeling in Bali, it was incredible!

This was my fourth tour with Intrepid Travel and my inaugural visit to Indonesia. I embarked on this dynamic trip as the second part of the 23-day Best of Indonesia tour with the Sumatra Adventure as a thrilling precursor. Following a physically exhilarating 10 days in Sumatra, this journey transformed into an enriching exploration of history, architecture, and culture, with invigorating experiences like the Jeep ride and sunrise hike up Mt. Bromo and cycling through Yogyakarta's countryside, allowing for a deeper connection with nature and surroundings. The trains were impressively clean and comfortable, while the accommodations offered a vibrant blend of hotels, nature-inspired villas, bungalows, and guesthouses, showcasing a dynamic and thriving travel experience. Nova, our outstanding tour guide, exceeded my expectations, ensuring our safety and comfort, and securing reservations for optional activities while sparking a profound connection to each destination. With historical anecdotes, surprise stops for local delicacies, and insider village access, Nova's infectious enthusiasm and humour made him a captivating, down-to-earth, and authentic ambassador for every region we visited. If you're passionate about ecotourism and immersive cultural experiences, savour the flavours of local cuisine (which include heaping plates of rice, noodles and fried foods), and crave meaningful adventures, then this tour is an opportunity you won't want to miss!

This itinerary had a diversity of activities and the train transport made it so comfortable. The length and activities of the trip is perfect to establish a meaningful rapport among travelers that truly enhances any trip. This was our sixth Intrepid trip and one of our best travel experiences.

The train journeys are a delight. The Indonesian people are so friendly and kind. The country’s varied landscape something to be hold.

I’ve traveled extensively, but this was my first tour with Intrepid. The entire experience was so much better than I expected, and my expectations can be quite high. Exciting itinerary, fantastic guide, fun, educational… I strongly recommend.

Fascinating trip visiting some under-explored parts of Java - we hardly saw any other foreign tourists until we got to Bali. Train travel was a highlight - clean, smooth, on time and great views from the windows.

Maman was an amazing tour leader, no problem too small to fix. Made the trip go seamlessly, the group all had a great time.

Amazing introduction to Indonesian culture. We had a great leader who was really enthusiastic to give us the best experience we could. Good diverse itinerary with many activities included and reasonably priced optional activities on some days. Highly recommend.

So many interesting and diverse sights and activities are rolled into this one excursion. The big cities offer lots of interesting places, but the rest of the country offers experiences. Riding a bike between rice fields and villages, climbing Mt Bromo and hearing the roar of the active volcano are my two favorites. The many temple visits and the architecture will be a new experience for even the most seasoned traveler. Train journeys offer a unique opportunity to see lots of villages, rice and sugarcane fields and people going about their lives. Don’t forget to look up, the Indonesians love their kites.

The Java Trip with Sherly was amazing, we saw a lot of the country and she leart us a lot about the people and nature. I really like the trip.
