Rory, traveled in December
Groups stay small at 12 travelers max, typically around 8-10 people. This size works well as you visit remote Sasak villages like Tetebatu and Pringgasela, where fewer people help create genuine connections with local artisans and farmers. Your compact group stays in secluded beachfront bungalows at Labuhan Pandan and tries traditional rice planting alongside villagers - activities that work better without a big crowd. The intimate size means everyone gets to participate in hands-on experiences like pottery-making in Masbagik, and you'll enjoy the evening Gamelan music performance at the community hall without feeling lost among too many people.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Indonesia
- Tailor-Made Indonesia Highlights Trip, No Group & Daily Depart
We had a wonderful trip in Indonesia and we would like to thank Agate Travel and specially Mrs Emily Xin for arranging this high-quality itinerary. The days spent in Bali, Java and Komodo National Park are already part of our dearest travel memories. Bali is a paradise, Borobudur is a marvel and navigating the semi-phinisi boat around the Komodo National Park was a pleasure. Our visit was perfect to every small detail and we were really pleased with the high standart services offered by Agate Travel. Mrs Emily Xin is highly professional and her support and care with our trip was highly appreciated. She took care with very small detail and really did everything in her power to make sure we had an unforgettable stay in this corner of paradise.
Amazing Trip to Gili and Lombok! Everything was so well planned, we had plenty of activities to keep us busy, but also enough chill time to enjoy the islands. One of my favourite parts was the optional activities we got told about – especially the diving, which ended up being a big highlight for me. So glad I did it! The hotels we stayed at were great too, all comfy, in good locations, and with breakfast included. A huge shoutout to our group leader, Bapo, who truly made the trip even more special. He was fun, supportive, and always made sure everything ran smoothly. This trip was such a fun adventure with a great group of people. If you're thinking about exploring Gili and Lombok, I 100% recommend doing it this way!
Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
Since I'm not one to come halfway across the world to get drunk on the beach, the "4 Days Bali Authentic Experience" was the perfect tour for me. Mr. Pepenk confidently navigated the insane and incomprehensible streets and traffic of Bali to get us safely to some of the most extraordinary sights/sites I have ever seen. Mr. Yustus was patient with my questions and full of interesting stories and explanations. The Bali Trip Mate has hired tremendously capable, congenial people, and planned an exciting and varied experience for tourists. It was everything I had hoped for, but more than I had imagined. Yustus and Mr. Pepenk are fantastic guides and drivers. Thank you!

What our customers ask about Indonesia Small Group Tours
What is the optimal group size for exploring Indonesia's cultural sites and natural wonders?
Groups of 8-12 travelers provide the best balance when exploring Indonesia. This size works particularly well at places like Borobudur Temple or villages in Ubud where visitors can engage meaningfully with local culture. Boutique properties such as the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel accommodate these smaller numbers comfortably offering a more personal atmosphere than large resorts. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "Having a small group made the experience much more personal and allowed us to really connect with local communities and our guide."
What is the average cost difference between small and large group tours in Indonesia?
Small group tours cost about 20-30% more than large group options with daily rates from $150-400 compared to $100-250 for larger tours. The higher price includes closer attention from guides stays at boutique properties like the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and more focused experiences. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The slightly higher cost was absolutely worth it for the intimate experiences and personal attention we received throughout the journey."
What unique accommodations are available for small group tours in Indonesia?
Small group tours access a range of distinctive places to stay throughout Indonesia. Travelers might find themselves in the luxury villas of Kamandalu Ubud one night and experience village life through homestays in places like Ngadas the next. A TourRadar traveler noted "The homestay experience in Ngadas village was incredible - something that wouldn't be possible with a large group and really helped us understand local life."
How do small group tours handle transportation between Indonesian islands?
Transportation for small groups moves smoothly with private vans boats and ferries sized just right for intimate groups. Between Bali and Lombok groups take private speedboats instead of crowded public ferries. Reviews often mention "Having a dedicated minibus for our small group made island-hopping so much smoother especially when visiting remote spots like Nusa Penida's Diamond Beach."
How does dining work on small group tours in Indonesia?
Small groups enjoy access to local warungs and family restaurants that larger tours must skip. In Ubud groups often share meals in local homes getting closer to authentic Indonesian cooking. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We could eat at authentic local spots like the Gianyar Night Market rather than tourist restaurants which really enhanced the cultural experience."
