The kind of island where you don't know where to start. Volcanoes on one side, temples on the other, long travel times between them, and spots that are better visited at certain times than others. Get the order wrong, and you'll end up spending your whole trip on the road 🫠
We created the guide we wish we’d had for our first time in Java. The right itinerary, the times when it's still quiet, and the viewpoints that few travelers know about!
No research left to do. Here's what's inside the guide:
Ready-made itineraries for 5, 10 days, and more
Two itineraries with all travel between stops included. You'll know exactly where you're sleeping each night and how much driving you have ahead of you.
+ 🏝️ Belitung Island (which looks like the Seychelles) included.

💡 We no longer share exact locations on Instagram. It's a deliberate choice: we keep them for the guide, so they don't get overrun. Better for those places, and better for you 🙌

PS: your trip will cost you around €2,000. The guide is less than 1% of that budget. Are you really going to risk the best trip of your life over that?

Questions?
When to go?
The dry season runs from March to October, and it’s definitely the best time to explore Java. April to June and September to October are ideal to avoid the July–August tourist crowds. We visited in late August / early September and the conditions were perfect.
During the rainy season, trails can quickly become muddy and slippery, making hikes more challenging. And if the sky is too cloudy, you might miss the breathtaking panoramas of Mount Bromo or the turquoise lake of Ijen.
What budget?
Java is one of the most budget-friendly islands in Indonesia. You can find hotels from €15/20 per night and meals for only €2/3.
Here’s an estimated 15-day budget for 2 people:
- Visa (2): €52
- Hotels (€30/night): €300
- Meals (€20/day): €200
- Activities: €250
- Transport: €250
- Scooter (€5/day): €25
Total for 2 people: €1077
What are the refund conditions?
We truly want every traveler to be happy with their guide.
But because this is a PDF file that cannot be “returned” or “deleted” after download, we cannot issue a refund without a valid reason. Unfortunately, we’ve seen too many abuses and we need to protect our work and our content 🙏
This is why refunds are only possible in justified situations, clearly defined below.
1. Refund request period
You can request a refund within 7 days after your purchase.
2. Eligibility conditions
A refund is possible if you explain what is missing or causing issues when planning your trip, so we can improve the guide.
What we require:
- A concrete reason with clear feedback about the specific information you’re missing.
What we do NOT refund:
- Requests based on missing information about a destination or step that was never included on the sales page.
(For example: you expected information about Malapascua in the Philippines even though this step does not appear on the map of the sales page.) - Requests without justification.
- Requests based on simply changing your mind.
- Requests submitted after downloading multiple guides in a row and asking a refund for all of them (clear abuse).
- Purchases made using major promotional discounts (over 40 percent).
What are the payment methods?
You can pay safely by bank card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Google Pay, Apple Pay and iDEAL. All payments are secure and protected
Have you tested the recommended locations?
We only recommend places we REALLY loved (collaboration or not!) and we also also recommend places based on all our research (best locations, value for money, ratings on google/booking) so you really don't have to do anything (well yes, just choose according to your available budget!).
What is the advantage of a guide compared to a blog where I find the information for free?
Personally, I have always had to read dozens of different blogs to organize an entire trip. Most bloggers only trace what they did and you need to do more research for the rest. Our guides are designed to save you this research time, and have everything in one place, from preparing (visa, business to bring, cash, sim card...) to visualizing your complete itinerary.
In addition, if you follow me on Instagram you know that we are always looking for little-known paradisiacal places, to find ourselves alone. And it's these gems that I keep very dear for my guides, I no longer share precise locations publicly! Not to mention the exclusive discounts that I negotiate and that you won't find anywhere else.
How do I get updates?
As soon as a guide is purchased, you get all of its updates for free! They will be sent to you by email to the address provided during your purchase.
💡 tip : Keep this email with the download link carefully so you can access the latest version at any time.
What format will I get after the purchase?
The e-books are interactive pdf files (with clickable links) that you can save and view from your phone. It is a format adapted for long mobile devices that can be scrolled like a site. Please don't print it ♻️
Is the e-book right for me if I don't plan to spend as much time in the country as you do?
Yes, we offer itineraries for all durations, especially for those who only have one or two weeks of vacation.
