What people love about Java Tours
- Jakarta to Ubud (including Mount Bromo)
the 2 last days of traveling before Tanah Lot should have been replaced by a faster way as the roads and traffic are very intense and only one day in Ubud is not enough. The hotel in Joshi is great but the food did not meet standards and I got sick. Generaly speaking it was a great experience. Andy was very helpful experienced and took good care of the crew; it was a pleasure.
- Jakarta to Ubud (including Mount Bromo)
This trip was AMAZING. It followed the trip notes that were outlined, and provided the adventure I sought. I was not surprised by any activities except in having my expectations exceeded! Indonesia was beautiful and I think this did a great job of taking us across Java and Bali with the time constraints allowed. Highlights - Green River Canyon (especially because I have NO idea how one would get here except on a private tour with transportation arranged and it is INCREDIBLE), Pangadaran Nature Park tour, Mt. Bromo, Seloliman Nature Reserve. Accommodations were great throughout. Only suggestions - 1) There is a lot of train travel. This is OK, because it seems if we did it by car it would be far worse/longer. If it were possible to do some of that long travel overnight, that might be nice. There are some nice views while on the train too, and I think the itinerary does a great job of not making us get up in the middle of the night for stressful travel etc. But it does feel like you lose some of your valuable vacation days to 5-8 hour distances by car or train, and often you just fell asleep on the train anyway. 2) Ubud - I know this is structured so you can spend additional time to explore there on your own once the trip is over, but I might have wanted a structured day of travel to the UNESCO rice paddies heritage site or the temple on the rocks as part of the itinerary. Balian Beach is lovely, but perhaps you could cut a day in Yogyarkata or Balian Beach to add that in. 3) The trip notes seemed to have some errors with estimates for money items - they may have been off by a decimal place. If I recall correctly, it way OVER estimated how much I needed to have on hand, but please review - estimates I am referencing were in USD Overall, this is an EXCELLENT trip and gets great highlights throughout the two islands. All of my friends who say my pictures were in awe of what we saw and did throughout and have been asking how they can do it too. I'd say that is a job well done on your part!

A fantastic tour of Indonesia with a good mix of volcanoes, temples, beach and sightseeing. Well organised, lots of inclusions and fits a lot into the 2 weeks. Excellent!

Demographics
Solo travelers tell us they quickly find their tribe on our Jakarta to Ubud routes. The long train rides through Java's countryside naturally bring people together, while cultural stops in places like Yogyakarta offer the right mix of group time and independent exploration. The homestays near Mount Bromo are a highlight - you'll share home-cooked meals with local families and learn about Tenggerese traditions firsthand. Walking tours through villages and organic farms create plenty of natural moments to chat with locals and connect with your fellow travelers.
For couples exploring Java, our longer tours blend cultural deep-dives with quiet moments together. The sunrise watch over Mount Bromo's caldera is particularly special, and the evenings spent stargazing in nature reserves create perfect moments for two. Many couples pick tours that end in Bali, adding extra days in Ubud or Pemuteran. You'll cook together in traditional classes, explore ancient water palaces and cycle through rice fields. There's a good balance of activities and downtime, with optional excursions that let you shape the experience to your style.
Young adults looking for real adventure go for our active Java tours that pack in plenty of challenges. You'll hike volcanoes, cycle through villages and find hidden waterfalls off the usual path. Our "Hammocks & Hikes" tours are a big hit - think pre-dawn treks up Mount Bromo followed by surf lessons at Red Island. The physical challenges mix well with cultural immersion; you'll stay in local villages and learn traditional crafts from masters. There's also time built in for optional activities like exploring Menjangan Island's coral reefs or joining yoga sessions in Ubud.
Senior travelers value our thoughtfully paced tours that don't rush between experiences. The Yogyakarta-based routes work particularly well, with guides who know how to adjust walking speeds and share deep historical context at the Sultan's Palace and Prambanan temples. Our travelers appreciate having both structured activities and free time to explore, especially enjoying pedicab rides through old town districts and visits to traditional silver workshops. We choose centrally located hotels and skip the more demanding activities while keeping the cultural experiences rich and engaging.
Java's family tours really shine when it comes to keeping different ages happy and engaged. Our multi-day routes through Java and Bali get great feedback from parents who appreciate how we mix temple visits with hands-on village activities. Kids love getting into the kitchen to make traditional cassava chips and trying their hand at gamelan music instruments. Starting in Yogyakarta works well for families - you can take your time exploring ancient temples like Borobudur, then hop on a horse cart to see village life. Our guides are skilled at reading the room and adjusting the pace, especially during those early temple visits and countryside bike rides when energy levels vary.
