Overview

Read 2 reviews and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 9 Day Best of Java. With a population of 135 million crammed into just under 140,000 sq km, you'd think there'd be no room on Java left for adventuring. As densely populated as it is, this amazing stretch of Indonesia has loads of unexplored corners just waiting for travellers looking for something a little different. From Jakarta, you'll venture to the curiously European-like city of Bandung (the “Paris of Java") en route to Yogyakarta, home to the island's monstrous volcanoes. Then wrap it all up...read more

Itinerary

Welcome to Indonesia's modern metropolis, and capital city, on the coast of Java. There are no planned activities until the evening welcome meeting, so get out there and explore. Stay: Erian Hotel

Enjoy a guided city tour of Jakarta visiting the former Batavia area, remnants of the colonial past, and stroll through the Sunda Kelapa Harbour. In the afternoon, depart for Bandung surrounded by volcanic peaks and tea plantations. Opt to see the angklung orchestra - resonating traditional melodies created by children shaking bamboo instruments. Stay: Arion Suite Hotel (B)

Board a morning train and take in the beautiful scenery on the ride to Yogyakarta, steeped in ancient ruins and culture. On arrival, opt to go on a cycling tour or take in a Ramayana dance performance. Stay: KJ Hotel Yogyakarta (B)

Venture to the Prambanan Hindu temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and wander through the remains of some 244 temples, with some towering out of the rubble. Spend the afternoon at leisure. Stay: KJ Hotel Yogyakarta (B)

Visit Borobudur, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world and another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend time exploring the pyramid-like complex, admiring the intricate carvings, and come away with a deeper understanding of Buddhist culture here. Later, enjoy free time to continue exploring Yogyakarta. Stay: KJ Hotel Yogyakarta (B)

Continue the journey across the agricultural heartland of Java to Ngadas, a village in the scenic Mt Bromo region. Experience the local culture with a G Adventures-supported community homestay. Stay: Ngadas Village (B/D)

Start early today (approximately 2:30am) for a pre-dawn trek across the “sea of sand” to Mt Bromo. Watch the sunrise over the crater’s rim, popular with both tourists and the local Buddhist Tenggerese, who can be seen giving offerings to receive blessings from the Supreme God Hyang Widi Wasa. Head back to Ngadas for lunch before exploring more of the village on an included walk. Later, travel to Malang for the night. Stay: Whiz Prime Malang (B/L)

Drive from Malang to Surabaya airport for a short flight to Sanur, a serene seaside town on the island of Bali. Spend the afternoon on the beach, and cheers to a beautiful sunset. Stay: Swastika Bungalow (B)

Depart at any time. (B)

Great tour through Java 0 Hayden, WA, Australia, Jul 2024

Great group of travellers and a great guide with Mangun! Good local knowledge and always very organised 😁 Optional Tours were all exceptional and our bus drivers were all friendly and experienced.

Best of Java Tour really was the BEST! 1 Paul & Ali, VIC, Australia, Jun 2023

Our G Adventures trip really did exceed expectations! Our CEO Panji was a 10/10 tour guide who went above and beyond in many different ways. Java was a complete unknown before we went but turned out to be a real gem. The highlights are too many to mention but here are a few: Homestay in Ndgas, 2am sunrise trip in 4x4s to see view towards Mt Bromo, walking ...read more
