What people love about Indonesia Tours for Young Adults
- Bali Experience 12 Day
Bali Experience has by far exceeded my expectations!! I'd previously done the ThaIntro tour which made picking Bali Experience an easy choice for my next holiday. The accommodation was amazing, so much was included that i didn't expect! By far my highlight was the epic Volcano trek for sunrise and the resort we stayed in on Gili T. It was great to meet and learn about how the local people live. Ive made friends for life. From the moment of booking to the staff in Bali everyone has made my holiday unforgettable. See you all soon in Vietnam!!!
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
This tour was amazing. I really like to have Stacia as a group leader. She was always open to talk and help. My favorite part was the cooking class and the snorkeling time. All the food was amazing and to have a small group was a huge advantage to enjoy all the activities. All of them were well prepared and enjoyable. Just one thing, I have a problem with the first hostel in Ubut, the receptionist was not aware about me and he didn’t help me with my luggage. Apart from this issue everything was amazing.
The itinerary was brilliant, a good variety of activities and places. The tour guide, Hendri, was wonderful, very knowledgable, friendly and lively. He made everyone within the group feel at ease, was very organised and informative in regards to each days schedules and was a lot of fun! The trip was well organised, the accommodation and meals provided were great, and Hendri was very helpful in regards to recommending restaurants when non-included meals were required. Could not recommend the whole experience more!
