A Memorable Trip to Indonesia
Indonesia

Jul 10 - Jul 27, 2025
Our trip to Indonesia was truly memorable and allowed to experience a broad range of activities (cultural sites, a Balinese cooking class, and outdoor hiking activities to Mt Bromo and various trekking activities in both Bali and Java) that catered to our variety of interest. These activities allowed us to experience the culture of Java and Bali through a variety of activities that allowed us to interact with the local people with the help of our drivers ( Hendri in Yogyakarta and Bargus in Bali) and guides and experience the natural beauty of both Bali and Java.
We really appreciated the help of Yuqqa in helping to suggest some wonderful additions to our original itinerary ( e.g the Gilli Islands, and the Catarmaran Cruise) both of which were nice additions that allowed us to enjoy the beaches and unique snorkel opportunities present in Indonesia. The Gilli Islands also provide a nice change of pace and gave us some down time to relax and have some free days to explore on our own without any structured activities.
Hotel Reviews
Hotel had many amenities including spa and multiple swimming pools for guest and a direct access to the beach. Also, the breakfast buffet offered a nice selection of items including Dim Sum, traditional American breakfast items, plus cooked to order eggs and local Indonesian food items. Also, the hotels location offered easy access to many outside dining options that one could walk to in under 15 minutes.
Really nice hotel with great amenities and spa. The decor of the hotel is unique with antique furniture pieces in both common areas and rooms. The breakfast buffet was great as there was a wide range of food available to suit all taste
Activity Reviews
Even though it was crowded, the system in place for tourist to visit the site has greatly made the experience more enjoyable
The trek to the falls is awesome. There are not many people on the trail so this makes the whole experience more serene and enjoyable
The water a beautiful turquoise and clear which makes it possible to see many fish and some sea turtles. Depending on your preferences, it is possible to charter a private snorkeling adventure.
This was one of the best acclivities we did on Bali. Our instructor was very personable and we learned a lot about Balinese culture and cuisine talking to her and getting hands on instruction. The food which we prepared turn out to taste really good too.
