INDOSESIA FAQs

  • The best way to travel to Indonesia depends on your location and preferences. For international visitors, flying is the most efficient way to get there, with Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport being a major gateway. Other important airports include Bali's Ngurah Rai and Medan's Kualanamu, making it easier to reach different parts of the country. Once there, domestic flights are handy for covering the vast nation quickly. For scenic travels, ferries connect the islands, and buses and trains are good for intercity journeys. Renting a car or motorbike offers the freedom to explore at your own pace, ideal for those confident on local roads.

  • The best time to visit Indonesia is in the dry season, from May to September. This offers great weather for exploring beaches, temples, and parks, with less humidity, little rain, and cooler nights. It's ideal for hiking, snorkeling, and sightseeing, especially for surfers who find the best conditions. Though it's the peak tourist season in places like Bali, visiting then ensures a comfortable experience. For those who prefer fewer crowds and better accommodation deals, April and October are also good, with pleasant weather and fewer tourists.

  • When packing for Indonesia, consider its tropical climate, cultural norms, and your activities. Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing such as cotton or linen for the warm, humid weather. For beach spots like Bali, pack swimwear, flip-flops, hats, and sunscreen. In temples or rural areas, dress conservatively, covering shoulders and knees. You can often rent or buy sarongs at temples for this. For adventures in jungles or highlands, bring sturdy shoes, a raincoat, and insect repellent. Evenings can be cool, especially in areas like Ubud or Mount Bromo, so a light jacket or sweater is wise.
