What people love about Indonesia Tours for Young Adults
- Indonesia: Hammocks & Hikes
I really enjoyed this tour! We got to see some beautiful places around Java and Bali, and there were times when the scenery took my breath away! I can't praise Epul high enough, he did everything within his ability to organise things so that everybody was catered for and happy! He was always eager to share his knowledge about Indonesian culture and could give us a real insiders perspective ! He was always very helpful, even taking an interest in helping people organise their further travel plans after the trip! He was always checking in with us, and really made it his business to keep everybody happy and make sure people had the best experience possible! I loved the homestay experiences, I feel like this is not something I could have experienced otherwise, and it was great to see the reality of how people live and witness the authenticity of it all.... Our hosts were always so welcoming and happy to teach us about their culture and traditions. The only small suggestion I would have is perhaps finding a way to break up the longer travelling days.... There were about three days that were completely given over to commuting from place what with roads and traffic, and these were tough going. I am really happy I chose this trip, thank you very much
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
Loved Gili Islands, was a great experience! Scuba diving as the extra was a good experience too, learning how to dive deeper than before. We seen turtles and cool fishes both snorkelling and diving. The pub crawl and bingo was a good experience too. Had good atmosphere with all the other people around. The last Lombok hotel at El Tropical was the highlight of a beautiful accommodation! But all the other rooms weren't bad too.
