Is a group planned for this date? Are there optional visits to plan?

What is the start hotel for the tour? Is it possible to book pre-accommodation for additional nights?

What will be the cost with upgraded hotels?

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.

What is the contact information for the tour guide for Best of Java tour starting in Jakarta?

Upon arrival at Erian Hotel, look for a note or bulletin board in reception with details about the Welcome Meeting. The meeting is usually between 5pm and 7pm, where you'll meet your CEO and other travelers and learn about the tour. If no note is visible, ask reception for details.

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

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.

Do you receive us at the Jakarta airport at the beginning of the trip and send us back to the Bali airport at the end of the trip?

Arrival and departure transfers are not included in the price of the trip. They can be purchased as at an additional cost. If you would like to know the cost, please advise your preferred currency to be quoted in.

Visas are the responsibility of the traveller, these are not something that we can source for you.

Can you propose a private tour for 2 to central Java including other cities in the region for about 10 days. Start return either Jakarta or Yogyakarta. Please quote price and what are included.

Do you customize private tours for 2?

What size of suitcase can I bring on the trip?

You can bring a medium-sized suitcase. However, since some portions of the trip may require lifting your own bag, a backpack is more suitable.

What are the accommodation venues along the tour route?

Accommodations are provided at specific hotels such as the Erian Hotel in Jakarta and the Swastika Bungalow in Sanur.

I'm very interested in the 9-day Java Tour and am meeting some friends in Bali on/around 18 April so this fits in very well with that schedule. Would it be possible for me to leave the tour on Day 8 and make my way up to Seminyak to meet my friends at a villa that they've booked there?

You are more than welcome to fly with the group, but instead of driving to Sanur you can ask the CEO to help you arrange transportation from the airport to Seminyak. Unfortunately, we won't be able to offer a discount for any services missed and the additional transfer will have to be at your own cost. You will need to sign off the tour once you arrive at the airport with the help of the CEO.

  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.
