Primates & Dragons Of Indonesia

Guide

Tour leader throughout

Meals

All breakfasts, 4 lunches and 2 dinners are included. Food is cheap in Indonesia and you can generally avoid the spicier food if you wish. Western food is available in Ubud and Sanur though it is well worth trying the local cuisine. In more touristy areas, especially Ubud, there is a lot of food options and some fantastic restaurants and coffee shops catering for all tastes and requirements. Indonesian cuisine is generally fairly simple, with rice as the main staple, though noodles are also common, accompanied by dishes created with various spices including coriander, cloves and chilies as well as coconut and lemon grass. Fish, unsurprisingly is popular but other meats are also common. Peanuts are a popular ingredient especially in dishes such as sate or gado gado and you should inform Exodus and your tour leader if you have a peanut allergy. Nasi (rice) and Mie (noodles) are very popular, especially the staple dish Nasi Goreng (fried rice). Quite often tea or water (aqua) is drunk with a meal. Beer is not always cold and coffee is unfiltered and usually very sugary. Vegetarian food is available in Indonesia, however the concept of vegetarianism can be misunderstood so if you are a vegetarian please be clear and state that you don't eat meat, chicken or fish. Please advise at time of booking if you have any dietary requirements.

Transport

Throughout the trip we use a private coach usually with air-conditioning. Road conditions, in many cases, are not very good, and traffic is a constant problem in Sumatra and Bali. Most travel days with driving, the average travelling time is between 4-6 hours. We also use a boat when visiting Rinca and Komodo islands. All bookings on domestic flights are made in economy class. Domestic flight schedules in Indonesia can change so we cannot guarantee that we will be using flights at the preferred times stipulated in the itinerary. Airport transfers are included for those on the group flights. Please note that transfers are not included for clients arriving on any other flight, even if Exodus has booked it. If you require airport transfers, you may (by prior arrangement only) be able to join the group transfer. Transfers are arranged to coincide with the arrival time of the group flight ‐ please check the group flight details 2 weeks before departure. If you do not take this transfer, or miss it, you must make your own way to the joining point at your own expense.

Accommodation

11 nights’ hotels (a mix of comfortable and standard), all en suite and two nights on board the boat in Komodo National Park. The nights spent on the boat are quite idyllic as we anchor in quiet bays but please be advised the accommodation is basic. Accommodation is a mixture of bunks in cabins and mattresses on deck with shared bathrooms. The reason we spend 2 nights on board the boat during this wildlife trip is to maximise wildlife viewing around the islands. At Bukit Lawang the hotel only has cold water, but as outside temperatures are hot this is refreshing. Please be advised that the accommodation listed in each location on the day to day itinerary are the standard hotels used. However, there may be some departures where groups stay at similar hotels of the same standard and quality. Single supplements are available (on request) 11 nights only. Please note the single supplement does not apply for the 2 nights spent on the boat in Komodo National Park. Please advise the sales team at the time of booking if you would like to request a single supplement.
