Safety

Our local leaders are equipped to prioritize your safety and keep you informed as you travel through Indonesia. There are strict laws and regulations in place surrounding drug use and gambling, as well as newly introduced laws banning sex outside marriage which apply to both locals and foreigners. However, Indonesia sees millions of tourists every year, and it is generally a safe place to travel.

Ready made friends

Indonesia has so many incredible sights that it’d almost be a shame not to share them with anyone. Traveling with us means you’ll explore the country with roughly 10 others, all of whom are just as keen to immerse themselves in the wonders of this South Asian paradise. This means you’ll likely have someone to join you on an early-morning yoga class or clink Bintangs with at sunset.

Logistics and convenience

What’s better than having someone deal with the ‘hows’ of your next steps? Especially after a big day (or night) out. On an Intrepid trip, all the transport, accommodation and included activities are organized for you. All you need to do is show up! You’re free to make only the fun decisions – like whether you should add in a cooking class, trip to the hot springs or surfing lesson today?

Solo travel tips

Embrace local

It pays to learn a little bit of the local language wherever you go and you should always consider the country’s dress code when picking out what to wear. In many places, you maybe be expected to dress modestly and cover up exposed skin so consider packing a sarong or light scarf to cover exposed shoulders, along with a long skirt or trousers. Whether you agree with it or not, it’s respectful (and smart) to follow the local style.

Plan ahead

When you’re out and about being all adventure-y, just keep an eye on the sunset. Try to avoid catching public transport after dark when you’re on your own, especially if you’re carrying your suitcase/backpack/fancy camera/map (it kind of screams ‘tourist’). Traveling with a group is a smart move for any traveler; it’s always good to have people around who’ve got your back.

#staysafe

Social media may be the doom of mankind and rational thought as we know it, but it can be useful, even as a safety tool. Your friends and family are now privy to a minute-by-minute update of your whereabouts, regardless of where you are in the world. Before you leave home, give your friends/family a social media heads-up: ‘If I don’t post a sunset selfie for five days straight, get in touch and see if I’m okay.’
