    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      The hotels on this tour are included as part of the overall trip cost, and because the reservations are made for the group, we're unfortunately not able to offer upgraded hotel options on this style of trip. If upgraded accommodations are a priority for you, we'd be happy to recommend some alternative trip styles that may be a better fit—such as our National Geographic Journeys or Geluxe tours, which feature higher-end hotels.

    Do you do private tours of Java, similar to the Best of Java tour?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      We do offer private departures on certain tours but the minimum required group size that is required to make it a private departure is between 8-12 people. If you are only one, the pricing will get charged for 8-12people accordingly, making it very expensive.

      Lee

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      What is the situation with tours in January as I believe that it is the month with the heaviest rain in Java? Will we be restricted in the areas we can travel to because of the rain? I am 72 years old, though reasonably fit for my age, is this tour suitable and are their increased risks of falling during the rainy season?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      Our itineraries are designed for everyone from 12+ so should you wish to join you are most welcome. Safety is our priority so should the itinerary have any safety risks due to heavy weather the local office will advise us and we will adjust accordingly. I would recommend bringing sturdy shoes with nice grip.
