About this trip
Twenty-seven days moving overland from Bangkok down through Thailand and Indonesia, ending on the beaches of Kuta. This is a long haul across two countries, mixing big cities, temples, rice paddies and coastline as you go.
It's built for young travellers on a budget, with a fair amount of free time built in alongside the group's fixed stops — so you can peel off and explore on your own terms as much as follow the plan.
Expect street food, local transport, and a lot of ground covered, with beach time threaded through most legs of the route.
What you'll do
- Eat street food and noodles in Bangkok
- Explore the rice paddies and temples of Java
- Beach time at multiple stops along the route
- Overland travel across Thailand and Indonesia
- Finish on the beaches of Kuta
- Long trip at 27 days, covering two countries overland
- Group format with shared rooms throughout
- Plenty of free time left unstructured for you to fill as you like
Worth it if you want curated cultural immersion with a group and don't mind long bus days. Think twice if you're budget-conscious or prefer flexibility over structure.
- Mt. Bromo trek, homestays, and surf lessons genuinely stick with travellers as standout moments.
- Group dynamic and guide quality can make or break it; passionate CEOs get real praise repeatedly.
- Long bus rides to brief stops frustrate; guide communication via Facebook isn't reliable on the road.
- Budget an extra £800-£1000 for activities, food, drinks beyond the headline trip cost.
