FAQ

Includes flight from Saudi?

No, this covers in-country expenses only. Flights from Riyadh or Jeddah typically range from $800 to $1,300 per person depending on the season and airline.

Cash per day?

It is best to carry the equivalent of $30-$50 in cash daily in IDR to cover small expenses, local eateries, and tips, as not all places accept cards.

Cards accepted?

Yes, accepted in hotels, large restaurants, and malls, but in rural areas or local markets, cash is king. Ensure you have a card with no international transaction fees.

Cheapest season?

The rainy season (November to March) is the cheapest, with hotel and activity prices dropping significantly, though expect some daily tropical rain.

How to save 30%?

You can save by choosing 'Homestay' accommodations instead of resorts, relying entirely on local food, and using public transport or scooters instead of private cars.
