The day that you travel
Our drivers, Yohanes or Wayan, will meet you at the airport. We’ll be stood just outside arrival barrier that you go through after collecting your luggage (due to delays etc there is a very slim chance that we may be five minutes away, please wait just next to the flight information desk.
Currency
It is difficult to obtain Indonesian Rupiah outside the country. We recommend taking a debit or credit card and using cash points. Our accommodations have safety boxes for passports and cash. You can also bring some cash and exchange it at the money-changers.
Passport & Driving License
It is essential that your passport has over 6 months left until it expires (from the date you return home), preferably much longer, or you will be denied entry to Indonesia. This is valid for 30 days from entry. When entering the country you will be given an entry and exit card. Fill it in and keep it safely tucked in your passport.
If you plan to hire a car or motorcycle (if you are staying on longer or arriving early) you will need an international driving license, which can be obtained from the AA or RAC. It is a good idea to carry photocopies of your important documents (packed separately) and note that it is also easier to carry photocopies of relevant pages from heavy guidebooks etc. We also suggest that you scan copies of your important documents and email them to yourself.
