We will pick you up from the airport and transfer to the hotel. The day is free to explore the city. Your tour guide will meet you in the afternoon for a full tour briefing, and perhaps a drink or two! We take you out for dinner for your first taste of delicious indonesian food.

Day 1: Jakarta - Pantai Aquarium

180 km

We hit the road early, leaving the bustle of Jakarta behind as we ride into the lush landscapes of West Java.

The day ends at a beachside villa where fresh seafood awaits.

FAQ

When is the best time of year?

The ideal time is May to October, when the weather is generally dry and clear, making for easier riding and great views of Java’s volcanoes. The November to April wet season brings more showers, but rides still run year-round — the rain often comes in short bursts, and the landscapes are at their greenest.

Is prior off-road or adventure riding experience required?

Java has a very well developed road network, allowing us to choose our routes depending on the group. We add off-road tracks to suit the riders.

What sort of accommodation will we have?

We use good standard twin or double rooms. Private / single occupancy can be arranged with a supplement. The rooms have good beds, air-con, private bathroom etc.

Is the food safe for westerners to eat?

Yes. We carefully select restaurants, homestays, and hotels that maintain good hygiene and prepare meals suitable for international travelers. Indonesian food is full of fresh ingredients and flavor, and most riders really enjoy trying local dishes along the way. If you prefer something familiar, there are usually Western options available too.

How much luggage can we bring?

For groups of 7 or more riders we add a support van. We still ask you to just bring 1 case each as space can be limited. For groups without a support van, you should bring 1 waterproof bag, to be strapped to the bike. Smaller groups can also add a support van with a supplement. Please ask for details.

Are the bikes insured

Java does not have any insurance options for motorbikes. We take a refundable security deposit of $500 USD, which covers any potential damage to the bike. This is fully refunded when the bike is returned without damage. Riders should have their own personal insurance to cover overnight hospital requirements.

Are the bikes insured?

Yes, all bikes come with third-party insurance. We also take a refundable security deposit of $500 USD, which covers any potential damage to the bike. This is fully refunded when the bike is returned in good condition.

Absolute pros, great working with these guys.

The upgrades like the crash guards and the reinforced luggage racks they add to their Himalayans (impressive bikes) are welcome additions.
