- Help Planning a 10d Indonesia tripHi!! I’m aware that this is not NEARLY enough time to visit Indonesia, but my friend and I are 23 and will be in Indonesia from Oct 31 to November 10 th , and are trying to plan the best trip. We arrive in Bali on the 31st Oct early afternoon, leave from Bali on the 10th Nov evening. Want: - Active/adventures (snorkeling, jetskiing, jeep tours, sunrise hikes, waterfalls) - A bit of Nightlife is okay! savaya in Uluwatu looks cool - okay with a a more packed trip Don’t care for: - Canggu - temples/historical sights (we’re seen a lot of those on previous travels and just looking for a bit more outdoor activity as opposed to sightseeing) - we’re not pro trekkers - don’t really care for hostels/hostel life. We like a bit more privacy I was thinking Bali > two days East Java trip to see bromo/waterfalls > uluwatu > Can anyone reccomend specific experiences or an itinerary that makes sense? Specifically am considering swapping out some things to include a Liveboard Komodo Cruise, Amed, Sidemen, or Ubud. There’s so much this country has to offer and it’s a shame I only get 10 days of PTO. submitted by /u/Effective_Speech_855 [link] [comments]
- 8 days in Java, Indonesia27M Japan - I recently took a trip to Indonesia. I had some local friends on Java and did half of the trip solo and half with the group. I mostly explored south central Java with some time in Jakarta. Indonesia is a wonderful country with some of the best views on earth. Its more casual Islam is a very unique cultural experience, and in general Indonesians are very laid back happy people. In more rural locations, because I am a 181cm tall white man (which is average in the west), at times locals literally stood in line to take pictures with me or would ask to take large group pictures. It was an interesting experience to regularly be the tourist attraction instead of the tourist. Western currencies are very strong against the Rupiah, and prices are similar to other SEA countries. Jakarta is technically the most populous city on earth right now, and it certainly feels like it when you're there. I only spent a day in Jakarta and I'm glad I spent more time with rural locals than in the city. Prambanan and Borobudur were always bucket list items for me, and I highly recommend you make the trek to Jogja to visit them. They are very exotic UNESCO sites while also being close to the accommodations of a major city. I caught Borobudur in a thunderstorm, had the whole site to myself and it really felt like out of a movie. You can plan a pretty picnic but you can't predict the weather! Trip Length: 8 days Destination(s): 2 nights Jogja 1 night Petanahan 1 night Cilicap 1 night Kebumen 1 night Jogja 1 night Jakarta submitted by /u/kingherp70 [link] [comments]
- Indonesia travel timeline suggestionSo I’m planning a trip to Indonesia this coming July, the problem that I’m having with planning my trip is that most other places that I’ve been to in Southeast Asia for example two weeks is enough time to see 2-3 different parts within a country for example in Thailand, Vietnam, or the Philippines. It seems as though this isn’t the case for Indonesia, I’m seeing in general the recommendations for places like Sulawesi, Raja Ampat, or Sumatra alone are two weeks at least. In two weeks I did siargao, siquijor, el nido and coron in the Philippines for example. We have 16 nights to visit so I’m imagining an itinerary somewhat as follows: 4 nights (3 full days) in Java 8 nights (7 full days) in Raja Ampat 4 nights (2 full days) in Bali July 16 - Fly to Bali July 17 - Landing in Bali 10pm July 18 - Bali -> Java July 19 - Java July 20 - Java July 21 - Java July 22 - Java -> Raja ampat July 23 - Raja ampat July 24 - Raja ampat July 25 - Raja ampat July 26 - Raja ampat July 27 - Raja ampat July 28 - Raja ampat July 29 - Raja ampat July 30 - Raja ampat -> Bali July 31 - Bali August 1 - Bali August 2 - fly home Is this timeline feasible? Obviously we aren’t very interested in the hype around Bali but would like to atleast see some main parts. We love snorkeling but aren’t professional divers, are looking for nice beaches, islands, scenery so would Sulawesi or Sumatra be better for that over Raja Ampat? submitted by /u/Martyczerrr [link] [comments]
