Indonesia and Malaysia Tours and Trips

This was a brilliant holiday. Both our tour leaders were excellent, as were the local guides. The mix of culture, wildlife and food kept the tour interesting. The only issues were the poor state of the roads which meant that our journeys were longer and more uncomfortable than expected. One internal flight was delayed so we missed half a day at Mulu, but our guides made the effort to fit everything in and we had a very busy day. Neither of these were something Explore could change. The trip notes need updating regarding a view point that has been closed for three years and we were never going to see an extinct rhino (event though a guide talked about them in the present). Also you can buy leech socks in resort at 1/10th of the cost in the UK (not the same quality). Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in animals, birds and food

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We had a nice sized group of 10 people. Our tour leader Hadi was excellent, very friendly , organised and just an all round lovely jubbly guy! :-) Our highlights of the trip were definitely the boat trip around Rinca, Komodo & Padar Island, snorkelling at pink beach and spotting a Manta Ray. The hotels on this trip were really great and we had an upgrade on our boat meaning we all ended up with our own room with en suite, luxury ! Some long days spent travelling but well worth it for the stunning views and experiences. Thank you Explore once again for another amazing trip!

Overall and excellent trip with a diverse group of 10 travellers. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour especially the boat trip to Rinko and Komodo islands. Flores is under development and extremely rural with glorious verdant vegetation and stunning landscapes. A real ‘away from it all’ destination. Bali was very busy with dreadful traffic, however the area this tour goes to offered some tranquility from the hubbub. The boat trip exceeded expectations, was very comfortable with great friendly service. Despite being told we would have a shared multi-berth cabin, we had our own with bathrooms! To finish at the beach in Jimbaran was a great way to relax and restore our energy before the long journey home. Tip: massages are excellent and very cheap!! Highlight: Komodo dragons, snorkelling on pink beach -fabulous!

I did the 10 day Bali bliss, and I loved every minutes. There was so much to do and there was something that suited everyone from hiking to surfing. Ikrar our tour guide was perfect. He was always there and happy to help us with any recommendations for our free time. He also planned out nights to suit the group - live music nights or dancing nights. A stunning place with amazing people

The hotels were fantastic — central, comfortable, and beautifully presented. It made such a difference to be close to everything while still feeling relaxed and at ease. The coach was also very comfortable and reliable, and guided us through heavy traffic safely and on time.

Bali is absolutely lovely and this experience made it even more special. Our guide, was amazing – patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging. I went scuba diving for the first time, and it was unforgettable! The whole team made me feel comfortable and safe, and once we got in the water, it was like a whole new world opened up. Everything was well-organized and the day felt smooth from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to diving, and I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Bali!
