Java: Yogyakarta and the Borobudur temple
Discover Yogykarta
We are heading to our first stop, Yogyakarta. This morning the first transfer awaits us: we reach the central part of the island of Java with an internal flight. One thing is certain: once we arrive in the accommodation we’ll be ready to kick off our adventure among the Indonesian islands!
Prambanan and Borobudur
The first stop is Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex that stretches for miles - it takes a while to explore it completely but it’s worth it! Let’s get ready to visit the complex up to the Shiva temple, the greatest Hindu monument in Indonesia. Brahma temple and Vishnu temple to follow - they are a must too. Not too far away from Prambanan, we’ll be able to see the magnificent Borobudur, the world's largest Buddhist temple. Built-in the 9th century, the ancient site is one of Indonesia and the world’s most valuable treasures. In the 1970’s Borobudur became a UNESCO World Heritage site.

On the road in East Java
On the road
Rise and shine dear WeRoaders: we have some traveling to do! We get in our minivan to reach Mount Bromo. Tomorrow we'll be mesmerized by one of the most wonderful sunrises you’ve ever seen, we promise. We stop for a lunch break along the way to grab a quick bite and stretch our legs! We then continue the drive until we arrive at our accommodation near Mount Bromo. Here we have a nice dinner but don’t forget to go to bed early: the alarm is set for 2 in the morning - yes, you read that right ... but hey, it’ll be worth it!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast, minivan with private driver
Money Pot: any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Enjoy a breathtaking sunrise on Mount Bromo
Sunrise on the volcano
Get up, sleepyheads! I know, the alarm goes off at 2am and we don't have much time to stay under the covers. So let’s put on some warm clothes (you know, it’s quite cold) and we are ready to go. We get in a jeep that will take us almost to the top of the mountain in less than 30 minutes. We have more or less half an hour of easy walking ahead - and guess what? The sun is rising - we will admire Mount Bromo slowly lighting up...it's a a jaw-dropping view! Let’s fully experience this magic moment in contact with nature. We then return to our base camp with our eyes still lit up by this incredible sunrise. Now it’s time for our next stop, Banyuwangi. Are we tired from this morning's wake up call? It’s all set: we have plenty of time to rest during the transfer! We’re sure you want to take advantage of it because we’ll have another early alarm - but again, it will be worth it!
Included: overnight stay, local transport, Mount Bromo excursion
Money Pot: any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Bali: discovering a new island
Kawah Ijen
Another early wake up call to to climb the Ijen volcano. This place is famous for two unique peculiarities: here is the largest acid lake in the world and the blue will-o'-the-wisps! Getting to the top of the volcano is not difficult but the second part of the route becomes much more demanding. At this point, we can venture down into the crater to reach the acid lake and admire the surreal wisps of blue flame far below and the sulphurous fumes rising from the depths of the volcano. Just be careful - as we go down the path is not so visible because of lake gases. We’ll wear masks but don’t worry...if you believe this is too difficult we have good news for you: the descent is optional. However, if we are brave enough to go into the heart of the volcano we’ll be rewarded: the dawn here has a completely different colour!
Arriving in Bali
Now that we are back to the starting point, we can take our backpacks and set off to Bali. What are we waiting for? We first take a minivan and then jump on a ferry towards the most famous Indonesian island! After regaining some strength, we can decide how to spend our morning: do we want to visit the famous Ulun Danu Beratan temple, or do we feel like going on a swim in the Git Git waterfalls? One thing is certain: we’ll arrive in Ubud in the evening, where we can begin to relax…maybe with a nice massage!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast, minivan with private driver and ferry
Money Pot: Any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Ubud: Monkey Forest
Sacred Monkey Forest
We’ll visit a rainforest oasis on the edge of Ubud this morning. We’ll be fascinated by the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary - such a wonderful and bizarre temple for the statues of animals and mythological creatures we’ll have the chance to see.
Relaxing afternoon
We spend the rest of the day relaxing. Ubud is one of the world capitals for yoga and spirituality, so what better place than this to take a class or enjoying a cooking class? Or we can take a walk among the rice fields: if you aren’t too tired of moving around, the surroundings of the city are full of forests, temples, and waterfalls!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast
Money Pot: any admission fees, local transport
Not included: food and drinks
From Ubud to Kuta: a relaxing day!
Bali Beach Club
Today's all about chilling and exploring. Our own beach club perks include drinks, snacks, and towels - no stress! Balinese beaches rock for their nightlife, but hey, we call the shots today. Fancy yoga? Temple hopping? Or finding that Insta-worthy spot? We've got time! Later, we roll into Seminyak by private van, getting ready for a wild night. Ready to kick off this trip with a bang?
Included: overnight stay, breakfast, beach club (entrance can be organised for either day 7 or day 8 of the trip)
Money Pot: any admission fees
Not included: food and drinks
Kuta, between beach life and nightlife
Surf and sunset
Welcome to Kuta! We are in this little surfer’s paradise, let's put our swimsuit on and surf the waves! Here it won’t be too difficult even if we are just starting out surfing for the very first time. If we don’t feel like surfing, we can take it easy. We can spend the day relaxing on the beach until sunset - the best time to enjoy a nice cocktail overlooking the wonderful sea on comfy beanbags. Let’s get started with a few Balinese cocktails (we suggest the typical Arak) and then let's cut some shapes!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast
Money Pot: any admission fees, local transport
Not Included: food and drinks
Sea, relax and trekking: time to visit the Gili Islands
Paradise on earth
After three days in Bali we are ready to go: today we take some transfers to finally reach the archipelago of the Gili Islands. If you wonder what a paradise on earth looks like, here we are! No picture will be able to catch the incredible beauty of the infinite white beaches and bright blue waters.We get to the Gili Islands, we can decide what to do: do we want to enjoy the sun and relax on the beach all day, or are we feeling adventurous and ready for snorkeling or scuba diving? Or are we ready for a trek in the jungle? We'll be at the beach till late where we’ll see a different side of the Gili Islands: here the chiringuitos invite us to enjoy some cocktails and dance barefoot on the sand all night long. Cheers!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast, ferry to Gili Trawangan
Money Pot: any admission fees, local transport
Not included: food and drinks
Gili Islands: time to discover the coral reefs of Trawangan
Relax and fun
It’s time to enjoy the beautiful Gilis today: three small islands that attract travellers from all over the world for their immense beauty. Let’s explore the paradisiac tropical coral reefs in Gili Trawangan. If you're looking for something even more unique, be sure to make your way to Gili Meno. Here you can have a swim among the beautiful underwater sculptures and take the most epic travel photos - we are sure you won’t regret it!So why don’t we spend the rest of the day on the beach relaxing and enjoying this peaceful place?
Included: overnight stay, breakfast

A day in Lombok: time to enjoy Sengiggi beach one last time
Last day on the beach
That’s the last day on the beach between Gili and Lombok - so let’s make the best of it! Luckily we still have time to appreciate the beauty of the Gilis in the morning. So why not swimming one last time in these wonderful crystal clear waters? We’ll move to Lombok in the afternoon where we’ll enjoy the rest of the day on a beach just off the tourist trails. Here we’ll experience the very essence of this new island and fully experience silence and relaxation. We'll be at the beach until late so that we can enjoy our last sunset on Sengiggi beach!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast
Money Pot: any admission fees, local transport
Not included: food and drinks
Back to Jakarta
The capital
Today we fly back to Jakarta and try not to think too much the wonderful ocean we left behind. Today we can have a relaxing afternoon in the hotel or we can spend some time exploring the capital.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.
The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
