Indonesia generally has great weather all year round, but like every Southeast Asian country it has a rainy season, from November to March there will be plenty of sunshine, but from time to time a little more rainfall.

In Ubud, you must wear temple clothing when visiting Tirta Empul, but you will be provided with a sarong at the entrance, so you only need to make sure that you cover your shoulders and chest.

No problem, the lessons in Canggu are led by professionals and are perfect for beginners and advanced surfers.

You don't need proper hiking equipment. A pair of trainers and plenty of layers will suffice. You'll be warm during the hike, but when you reach the summit it can get quite cold before sunrise. We recommend a hoody and maybe a woolly hat. Once the sun is out, it's back to great Bali temperatures.

Depending on your fitness level, it takes around 90 minutes, but it is a very doable hike with plenty of rest points and great views.

German, Austrian and Swiss nationals do not need to apply for a visa before entering the country for a tourist stay of up to 30 days. It is important that the passport is valid for at least six months upon entry. Citizens of other countries should contact the relevant Indonesian ministry or the Indonesian embassy in their home country to find out about the specific visa requirements.

Entry requirements are subject to change. Please check the current regulations under the following links or with your respective ministry before travelling:

German citizenship

Austrian citizenship

Swiss nationality

Yes, most accommodation offers fast Wi-Fi access. You can also buy a SIM card or eSIM to stay connected while travelling.

If you would like to secure eSIM access before you start your journey, you will find a link to our partner airalo under the link HERE.

So you're always online and can share your experiences!

Yes, the age limit for this tour is 18-45 years. This age restriction ensures that the group shares a similar life stage and interests, which strengthens the sense of community and dynamics within the group. Many of our activities are aimed at an active and adventurous audience that is flexible and open to new experiences.

If you are looking for a tour without age restrictions, you can find it in the tour overview or simply contact us. :)

You can conveniently calculate and take out these insurance policies online via our partners. You will find the corresponding link HERE.

We recommend a budget of around €30-60 per day for this tour, depending on your personal expenses. Additional costs may include some meals, drinks, souvenirs and other personal expenses. It's always a good idea to plan a little extra to stay flexible and cover unexpected expenses.

It is best to take a Visa or MasterCard debit or credit card with you. A “normal” debit card will also work at most ATMs. There are many ATMs on site where you can withdraw cash. We also recommend taking a small cash reserve with you and exchanging it locally. We advise against exchanging into the local currency in advance or at the airport, as this is usually associated with higher fees. Your guide will be happy to give you tips on the best places to withdraw or exchange money.

For cash withdrawals abroad, we recommend a DKB debit or credit card. You can find a link and more information HERE.

We recommend travelling with a rucksack and packing light! 10-20kg should be enough. It's usually quite hot and it's no fun lugging around a huge suitcase. You can do your laundry or have it done for little money in most accommodation.
However, if you prefer a suitcase, that's no problem. You are also welcome to travel with a trolley or suitcase. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and can transport your luggage easily.

If you are still looking for suitable backpacks, you will find HERE our recommendations.
