Plan 7–10 days for one island or two nearby areas. Allow at least two weeks if you want to combine destinations such as Bali, Java, and the Komodo Islands without spending most of the trip in transit.

April through October is generally the driest period in many popular destinations. Weather patterns vary across the country, so check the specific islands you plan to visit.

Cash is important for small restaurants, markets, drivers, and businesses outside major tourist areas. Cards are commonly accepted at hotels, shopping centers, and larger restaurants.

Domestic flights and ferries connect the islands. Ride-hailing services and private drivers are convenient within many destinations. Traffic can make short distances take much longer than expected.

Bring lightweight clothing, sun protection, insect repellent, and a compact rain jacket. Pack clothing that covers your shoulders and knees for temples, along with a swimsuit and comfortable sandals.
