The official currency of Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ’ฒ
The notes feature national heroes and iconic symbols, representing the rich heritage of Indonesia. With denominations ranging from thousands to millions, it's a unique currency experience! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ต

Here's the deal with the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)! Cash is king, especially for small transactions, while ATMs are scattered across cities and towns. Credit cards work in larger places, but don't rely on them everywhere. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’ณ
For seamless transactions, try local payment systems like Grab/Gojek. ๐Ÿ’ฐโœˆ๏ธ

| How long are the travels within Indonesia ? |

Traveling through the 15th largest country globally, Indonesia, is an adventure that demands a bit of effort when it comes to transportation. Whether it's by plane, mini-bus, train or boat, allowing for some downtime during travel is essential, given that teleportation is still not a thing in 2023 ๐Ÿ˜‚.

The longest travel time can reach up to 4.5 hours, with Sumatra offering more extended journeys to cover a broader area compared to Bali or Flores. This ensures your clients can immerse themselves in the diverse landscapes, from the lush jungles of Sumatra to the bustling cities of Java, providing a comprehensive glimpse into Indonesia's cultural and environmental richness.

| Visiting Traditional Local Market - A must in any travel itinerary |

Here are several reasons, why ?

๐ŸŽ Local markets are a window into the culture and way of life of the people in that region.
๐Ÿ These markets offer authentic, locally-produced goods, often unavailable in touristy areas. You can find unique souvenirs and try genuine local cuisine.
๐ŸŽ It's an opportunity to interact with locals. You can engage in conversations, learn about their lives, and even pick up a few words in the local language.
๐Ÿ Many markets have food stalls where you can sample local dishes and street food, giving your taste buds a memorable experience.
๐ŸŽ Goods and food in local markets are often more reasonably priced than in tourist-centric areas.
๐Ÿ By shopping at these markets, you're directly supporting the local economy and small businesses.
๐ŸŽ Local markets are often vibrant and colorful, providing excellent photo opportunities.
๐Ÿ Markets can lead you to hidden gems and neighborhoods you might not have discovered otherwise.

In summary, visiting local traditional markets is a cool way to connect with a destination on a deeper level, gaining insights and memories that go beyond typical tourist attractions.

| Why do people like rafting? |

Rafting provides an adrenaline rush. The thrill of navigating through turbulent waters and challenging rapids is a major draw. It often takes you through stunning natural landscapes that are otherwise inaccessible. It's a way to experience nature up close. ๐ŸŒฟ

Apart from being a team sport, ideal for fostering bonds within the group of travelers, rafting provides an escape from the routines of daily life. The opportunity to be in the great outdoors, far from the distractions of technology and the noise of urban living, is genuinely refreshing.. ๐Ÿšฃ๐Ÿ’ฆ

| Scuba Diving During the Group Trips |

Incorporating scuba diving into your group trips is not only feasible but highly advisable, particularly for those with a desire to explore the beauty of the Coral Triangle. ๐Ÿชธ

Both Malaysia and Indonesia are renowned as two of the world's most biodiverse diving destinations, making it a missed opportunity to partake in this extraordinary experience. ๐Ÿคฟ

This activity is open to individuals aged 10 and above, with no prior experience necessary. We can arrange day-trip discovery scuba diving adventures. Moreover, those who are already certified can enjoy a day of diving alongside a local dive guide for more profound and extended underwater explorations.
