Indonesia Tours

There are many airlines that fly to Indonesia, so we’ll always be able to find options for you. Jakarta, Bali and Lombok are the easiest places to fly in and out of with most airlines needing just 1 stop each way from the UK. There are also a small handful of direct flights to Bali, but these run with limited airlines on limited dates, so they aren’t as easy to come by.

You can fly from many airports in the UK to Indonesia - the smaller airports with less international flights may just require an additional stop en route. It is common to stop somewhere like Bangkok, Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai or Abu Dhabi on the way to and from Indonesia, so let us know if you’d like to extend this stopover and actually have some time in one of these amazing places.

A return to Bali from London can start anywhere from around £400.

This tropical country has the same hot temperature all year long. Generally the best months to travel here are May - September, with July and August being the most popular times to travel. So if you’re wanting it to be a little quieter but still with amazing weather then May, June and September are the ideal months for you!

Monsoon season is from November to March where you can expect unreliable weather patterns making it a little trickier to island hop. But don’t worry, it’s still warm at this time and some travellers don’t even experience any rain during their trips in this season, it’s just pot luck!

Currently, at the time of writing this, if you own a British passport then you don’t need a visa to enter Indonesia if you are planning on staying for less than 30 days. If you’d like to stay longer then please check out the government website for the most up to date information, you can find this HERE.

If you hold a passport from a different country then please check with your local consulate as things do change depending on your nationality.

Visa information does change often, so please check your government website well in advance of your trip and also shortly before you depart.

The currency in Indonesia is the Rupiah (Rp). 

The bill denominators are very high, don’t be shocked to see something cost 100,000 - it’s only around £5! Make sure you count your money carefully. ATMs are common and easy to find.

Local beer - 25,000Rp / £1.30

Coke/Pepsi - 8,000Rp / 40p

Tipping is not compulsory in the Philippines, but small change would be appreciated by restaurants, drivers and other service workers. 

The vast majority of trips are trouble free, but as with any trip it’s important to be vigilant and take any regular precaution. 

The British Government recommends: 

• Use a hotel safe for your valuables

• Minimise the items you carry with you. If you carry a bag, make sure the strap is over your shoulder, away from the road to deter thieves on motorbikes from snatching it

• Take extra care at night and in isolated areas

• Be particularly vigilant travelling at night by bicycle or motorcycle, especially if you’re alone. Stick to well-used, well-lit roads and carry a personal alarm if possible

• Avoid placing bags in the front basket of bicycles

• Be wary of pickpockets, especially on public transport and in crowded areas

Always listen to the advice of your guide - they are there to make sure you have a safe and hassle free adventure!

For further safety advice, it is best to check with your local government advice. For UK citizens - please that’s the Foreign Office - HERE

The Emergency numbers are 110 for Police, 118 for Ambulance and 113 for Fire. 

Some vaccinations may be required depending on where you are going and what you are doing whilst on your trip to Indonesia. The best place for the most up to date information on vaccinations is either with your local GP or at an NHS travel clinic. They will have records on if you’ve previously had vaccinations and can advise on the best options for you and your trip.

Of course, it goes without saying you’ll need to take out travel insurance before going on your trip.

English is widely spoken especially in any tourist areas and the guides all speak English too of course.

Respect the local culture! Cover up if going to religious sites or buildings.
