​💳 Money, Visas & Local Regulations

​Visas and Entry Requirements

​All countries require a valid passport with a minimum of 6 months validity. It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on your nationality.

​While we provide the following official links in good faith, please verify the rules independently before flying:

• Visa on Arrival

• Customs Declaration

​If you require a visa to enter Indonesia, please begin the application process at least two weeks before your departure.

​Spending Money & Currency Exchange

​During this overland tour, the local currency you will use is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). For live, accurate exchange rates, please refer to XE Currency Converter.

​The safest and most efficient way to carry your money is via debit cards, withdrawing cash directly from local ATM machines. ATMs are found throughout major cities and generally accept cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks. Traveling with both a Visa and Mastercard is an ideal backup strategy. Please note, your bank will charge a fee for overseas withdrawals.

​USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD cash notes are recommended for remote areas where ATMs are not accessible. If you are bringing US Dollars, please ensure that the notes are brand new and crisp. Notes older than 2003, or with any tears, folds, and blemishes will not be accepted by local money changers.

​Emergency Fund Backup

​Please make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an emergency backup fund. This is solely to be used when unpredictable circumstances outside our control (such as sudden natural weather disruptions) require an unexpected change to our planned route.

​🩺 Health, Safety & Local Dress Standards

​Medical and Physical Readiness

​There are no specific health requirements for this trip. However, we advise consulting with your travel doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure.

​In Indonesia, local pharmacies stock western equivalent drugs, but they are produced locally under different names. Please bring the full generic drug name with you if you have specific medical requirements. When selecting this active bromo tumpak sewu ijen tour, please carefully assess your physical ability to cope with steep volcano trekking and wet waterfall hikes.

​Trip-Specific Safety Notes

​We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while traveling for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash, and other valuable items. Leave your expensive jewelry at home. Many of the premium hotels we utilize have in-room safety deposit boxes. A reliable luggage lock is also highly recommended.

​Cultural Dress Standards

​Dress standards are quite conservative throughout East Java. To respect local communities and enhance your own comfort, we strongly recommend modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.

​Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the hot tropical climate. Singlets, tank tops, and short-shorts are not acceptable outside beach areas. One-piece bathing suits are recommended for swimming excursions.

​🧼 Laundry Facilities

​Convenient laundry facilities are offered by most of our selected accommodation partners for a reasonable charge. There may be times during the road trip when you want to do a quick manual wash, so we kindly suggest bringing a small pack of non-polluting or biodegradable soap.

​🧭 Detailed Trip Notes

​Indonesia has long been a world-class tourist destination. While English is widely spoken and tourism infrastructure is good, it may not be at the exact same level as developed Western nations. If you bring a dose of patience, a great sense of humor, and a willingness to interact with the local people, your overall travel experience on this bromo tumpak sewu ijen tour will be deeply enhanced.
