Trip information
Difficulty
This multi-activity trip is of moderate difficulty. Climbing the volcanoes will involve up to 700m of vertical ascent in a day, possibly on steep and loose terrain. The trip is jam packed and you will be undertaking different physical activities every day for 9 days which can be tiring, so a good degree of fitness is beneficial to ensure you have an enjoyable experience.
To talk about your suitability for this trip please feel free to give us a call.
Food & drink
Indonesia food is delicious! Expect
plenty of meat with Sate Padang (beef satay), Ayam Bakar Taliwang (grilled chicken in spices) and Ikan
Bakar (grilled fish in Sambal sauce).
The cuisine is vibrant and colourfull with intense flavors thanks to the vast
array of spices.
A typical meal will always include
steamed rice along with one or two main dishes of Fish, meat or vegetables.
Vegetarians can enjoy Tempe Goreng (Indonesian tofu), Nasi Goreng Lotus (rice
with vegetables and egg cooked in a lotus leaf) or Gado Gado
(green vegetables with tofu and peanut sauce).
We will take our breakfasts and evening
meals either in our hotel or at local restaurants. Lunches will be picnics of
fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese and cold meats.
If you have special dietary requirements,
please let us know when booking your
trip.
Please be aware that tap water in
Indonesia is not drinkable. Mineral water can be purchased in most towns and
villages but we recommend you bring a water filter or purification tablets. You
will be provided with fresh water to fill your bottles each morning and
evening.
Accommodation
On this trip we will stay in comfortable
hotel accommodation for 10 nights. Rooms will be either double or twin with
private bathrooms.
Every hotel we use has been carefully
selected for its high levels of comfort and cleanliness, great food, facilities
and location.
A single supplement is available on
request and subject to availability.
In most hotels, you will find there are flushing, western style toilets with toilet roll available. When travelling around Indonesia in local towns and villages however, toilet paper is a rarity, with Indonesians preferring water as their cleanser of choice. Toilets are more often than not squatties with either a hose, bucket and water, or occasionally toilet paper available. If water is a no go in your eyes then it is definitely worth bringing your own loo roll. In many cases, wiping is a hands-on affair with locals sticking to using one hand for wiping and the other for eating, drinking and shaking hands. Of course, if your wash your hands thoroughly after each visit to the toilet then you shouldn't have any issues either way.
Luggage
Your main bag should be a flexible duffel
bag or backpack of around 70-90 litres and not a rigid suitcase. Your luggage will be transported by bus and can be
left on the bus while you are participating in activities. In addition you will
need a daypack of roughly 40 litres to carry with you each day containing your
water, spare clothing, lunch, medication etc. This can be used as hand luggage
during your flight. We recommend also bringing a waterproof cover for your
daypack.

hides, scales, corals, shells and live animals.
