Is this trip right for you?
verified
This trip includes included walks, hiking, cycling and snorkelling. While no specific training is required, a good level of fitness will help you to get the most out of the activities on this trip.
verified
Java is one of the largest islands in Indonesia, and you'll cover a large distance on this trip. Where suitable we travel by train to make the journey more comfortable but on some days we will be taking road transport. Travel times can be long, and traffic can be heavy and slow, especially over holiday periods.
verified
You will be expected to carry your own bags onto and off trains, and for short distances (porters are available in most stations at an extra charge).
verified
Dress standards in Java are more conservative than in other areas of Indonesia. It's a good idea to take a sarong along with you or to cover knees and shoulders for the temple visits included on this trip.
verified
To climb mountains for sunrise, we must start very early! Your sunrise climb of Mt Bromo and Mt Batur start around 3 am. This means you'll walk over gravel and volcanic rock in the dark. Head torches, a rain jacket, some warm clothing and good walking shoes are a must. The view at sunrise is well worth the effort, especially if the weather's fine!
verified
Accommodation at Seloliman Nature Reserve, near Mt Bromo and Mt Batur, is in basic guesthouses. Set on the edge of a tropical forest, the Seloliman Reserve embraces philosophies of environmental education, and we are sure you will get a good night's sleep. The guesthouses at Mt Bromo and Mt Batur are close to the base of each mountain, reducing the travelling time to start our sunrise walks and giving you a little bit more sleep.

I did the Explore Java and Bali 22 day tour and loved every minute of it. It was so well organised and planned and the variety of the trip really clinched it for me. Our leader was superb and I felt that I learned so much about the local history and culture during the trip. The activities scheduled were enjoyable and accessible and throughout our trip everything had an authentic feel to it. Highly recommended.

We had a great time in Java trip even in the difficult traffic in Jarkata. The rain season did not stop us for almost all planned activities. Nice people, nice country with lots of potentials!

Indonesia massively exceeded my expectations with the amazing places to see, interesting food and varied cultural aspects of the people. The trip only provided a small insight into a very fanscinating country. I only wish the trip was longer as there wasn't enough time to see everything! No doubt I'll be going back to see other parts of the country soon with Intrepid.

I especially enjoyed the first part of the trip from Jakarta to Ubud the most. It was so various. The nature was stunnig, especially the mnt. Bromo and the walk around the rim! All the included activities were very good, I would`nt miss one of them. It was just perfect! The Bali part was not so various and nor so exciting, but nice aswell! My fav activity was the Mnt. Batur. The sunrise was just stunnig!
Some tips: Don`t arrive a night bevor in Jakarta, there is not a lot to see, but stay an extra night in Sanur, because at the trip you`re not going to see a lot from Sanur.

Combines Intrepid's separable Java and Bali tours. Good choice of culturally and environmentally rich destinations. No "tourist traps." Great accommodations. Downsides: Too groupy; too focused on humble village markets/handicrafts rather than Indonesia's amazing high culture. Felt too tailored to Intrepid's core clientele of female solo travelers. Might feel constricted to couples or gamelan fans.
