We had an amazing time on our trip to Indonesia. Loved the sights and our hotel properties. The guides and drivers went out of their way to help make the trip special. They were especially helpful when seeing the major sights such as waterfalls, hiking and temples. If I had one aspect that I would have changed it would have been getting and paying for larger transportation. We were 4 healthy Americans with a good amount of luggage so the car was very tight for us. Many of the days included long drives.

I did not go into the falls as I did not feel that I would be physically able to handle it. My husband did the falls. He loved the experience but said that it was quite challenging.
