Tours to Indonesia from Almaty: prices from 1,094,000 ₸

Finally got down to doing the documents for the trip to Ubud and realized my passport was old and a visa for Indonesia with all that is a nightmare, we were just looking for someone to help. The manager just happened to help us on the spot at the office with photos and copies all those papers, basically saved us. the flight was long of course, but those terraces and temples, monkeys climbing right on the cafe roofs — you forget about the tiredness right away. the locals are so smiley and the weather is like our July only better, you wanna sleep from the humidity but that's nothing, we should've brought more light t-shirts. surprisingly everything went smooth and they didn't even check the hotel booking at the front desk, I'm happy as a clam

was in Ubud the third week of january. thought it would be just rice terraces and monkeys, but it turned out to be, like, all of this. a local guy taught me how to drink luak properly, bitter as hell, but after it you really feel pumped like you downed three espressos. scooter rides through the jungle — deserve a special mention on their own, was braking before every pothole and praying not to fly into a palm tree. the water temple with snakes, i didn't touch them, but i didn't get too close either, kinda creepy tbh, though beautiful. but the bar in the neighboring hotel with a rooftop pool — that's where i hung out for the whole sunset.. the cocktail came in a coconut, and i almost choked on the straw from the sheer impressiveness. a massage for pennies did the trick so well i walked around like rubber after, the muscle tension in my back that had been bothering me since the flight really let go. the only downside — street noise at night, roosters screaming and scooters, but i bought earplugs at the local supermarket and kinda adapted. five out of five i give it, this was that very adventure i was looking for and found.

Went to Indonesia because we just wanted to lie on the beach and forget about work, and we picked Nusa Dua for the calm ocean and the bungalows right by the water; the manager helped with the paperwork and advised which hotel to take. Overall I was satisfied, we found the beginner surf spot ourselves, but the views and sunsets there — pure relaxation, except for the local monkeys that swiped my hat.

Нуса-Дуа маған ұнады, Бали әрине өзіндік ерекше, бірақ мен менеджерден турагенттіктен алдым ғой, сол мені көндірді, қонақүй жақсы болды, теңіз жай кайф, жылы сүттей. Дегенмен серуендеуге еш жерде жарамады, такси құрттай, бірақ Балиде де, қайтарда да кептеліс мәңгі, әйтсе де турдың өзіне шағым жоқ — бәрі уақытында. Жалпы алғанда сапар жаман емес, төрттік берік, менен ұзақ ұшу мен Санурдағы қандай да бір қандала үйіне осы жетеді, есептегенде құлағымнан бу шығып жатты.

went to the agency for a trip to Indonesia purely because I wanted the ocean not the sea, in Kuta everything just lined up, in winter it’s just right and the heat ain’t hellish and the waves are fine for first-timers. flew with a layover but I didn’t even notice the tiredness — slept like a log on the plane, but the local beach massage stuck with me the most, the ladies straight-up twist your back till it cracks and after that you float like you’re reborn, also loved that fruit is on every corner for pennies. took a cheap hotel, but the room turned out fresh with a pool view, the food though was too plain for me, but the staff smiled so sincerely I didn’t wanna leave, came back rested and happy and already thinking of sending my mom there in april..

organizovyvala poezdku na dve nedeli na Bali dlya sem'i s rebenkom, vybrala eto agentstvo potomu chto podruga letala cherez nih v Tailand i ostalas dobovol'no - nu i ya reshila, chto raz u nee vse proshlo gladko, to i mne ne nado iskat' chto-to eshe, tem bolee s rebenkom ne hochetsya eksperimentirovat'. vse ponravilos', otdyh poluchilsya to chto nado, verna i uzhe dumayu o sleduyushei poezdke (teper' cherez nih zhe)

We went to this Indonesia, Kuta, because of a friend's wedding, she invited us a year ago, well we decided to combine it — both the sea and the celebration, the soul was asking for warmth in October. We got a tour package at a local agency, everything was arranged quickly, I didn't really dig into it, just as long as there were tickets and a hotel, and for the rest, whatever happens happens, though it happened, of course, in different ways. The hotel turned out to be a bit noisy, but the breakfasts were hearty, and on the very first day I managed to lose my sunglasses in the sea — what a scatterbrain I am, though the beach itself with the dark sand I even liked, not as polished as in the pictures, and the surfers kept getting in the way of swimming peacefully; the weather overall was nice, rain only drizzled a couple of times, and that was in the evening, so for a beach vacation it's fine, but this running around from one end of Kuta to the other by taxi wore me out, they could've arranged everything nearby themselves, in short, a solid three out of five, not without its quirks, but not a failure either, the sea is warm, and that's the main thing.

Landed yesterday, still in a mild shock, the sea really is turquoise, and even if it's cloudy in the morning the water doesn't get murky. Went for a massage right on the beach — some grandma with her daughter operates with her elbows so hard I almost started snoring, but the view of the ocean through the palms was worth it. Weather is generally perfect, after three days I stopped using the air conditioner, opened the window and listened to the tide at night, now I'm thinking I don't wanna go back to Kazakhstan, it's a shame of course everything costs a pretty penny even water, but Nusa Dua is really worth the money #

mornings in Ubud are foggy and the roosters are screaming, thought it was a concert under my window but it's just the village living its life. Took a tour through a local agency, cheaper than dragging yourself everywhere on your own. rice terraces are of course something else, but the most awesome thing is the swing ride in the middle of the jungle — adrenaline is wild while you fly like a bird and palms down below. Then they took us to a volcano to watch the sunrise, I expected something epic but there it's just beautiful and cold — blankets handed out at the entrance, that saved me. tasted local coffee in a village, they have that very luwak, but I drank regular lemon basil straight from the bush. went into a sacred temple, they make you wear a sarong and a sash for sure, felt like I was in a bedsheet, but the energy does transfer, don't get how but it really got calmer. the driver waited patiently every time, didn't rush, drank tea with him on the roadside and talked about life. from Meduza better take it right away with breakfast at the hotel, I usually ignroe the buffet but here I was hunting coconut waffles all around). came back happy as an elephant and didn't even get burned anywhere in all five days! only the mosquitoes bit me up badly the first evening, should have plugged in a fumigator in advance

Went to Kuta purely because my friend said it was the best beach in Bali, and after my divorce I needed a change of scenery and to urgently recharge... ended up sitting in the hotel for the first two days just like a vegetable, and then I got into it. The waves there are such that the first time they flipped me head over heels and I almost lost the flip-flop I bought for two thousand tenge at the local market, but the water is warm and local guys offer board rentals right on the sand, cheaper than online. The Sumatra in the little cafe on the corner I liked more than the ones at the hotel even though you'd think why, but oh well. spent the whole evening watching the sunset and thinking this is it, happiness, simple life and no work)) plus the advice came from a woman at Almaty airport when I was still doubting whether I should even book through an agency, they did everything fast and didn't push anything extra.

Booked the tour in advance for the New Year holidays, stressed about the flight with two layovers and in vain — everything went smoothly, didn't even pass out on the plane once. The hotel in Nusa Dua turned out to have a huge territory: by the time I walked to my building I was already sweating, but there was always a free lounger by the pool and the bartender remembered my order by the second day. Came back with a decent tan and a bunch of food photos, giving it a five as is, no discounts.

my wife and I were planning a trip to Bali, but my passport had expired back in October, so I had to urgently get a new one and fly with it. we went to an agency that a neighbor recommended, he always buys tours there, although in Bali it was more like just tickets and a hotel. The manager helped pick out a villa in Canggu, I first messaged her on whatsapp some nonsense about a child car seat, she called back and sorted everything out quickly. we flew through Dubai, that was rough, 14 hours in the air with a layover, but the food on the plane was decent, however at the airport exit we almost got trampled by local taxi drivers, they shout and grab your arms. the villa was awesome, our own pool and monkeys on a tree right behind the fence, I even snapped one with my phone while it stole a pack of cookies from us. the downside is that for russians everything is expensive there now, even plain water at the supermarket cost like a good beer back home, but by the end of the week you get used to it and stop counting. the ocean waves are huge, I thought I'd swim but got nailed right away and swallowed sand, but the sunsets are straight fire, we sat on the beach every evening like idiots and watched. came back home and already want to go again, although after the flight I was recovering for two days and my back hurt from the seats. overall I'm happy and even with the small annoyances it's a solid five out of five..

I needed to urgently get a visa and pick a decent route around Bali, so I went to the travel agency near my house, didn't want to deal with those websites myself and risk it. I told them right away that I don't just want to lie on the beach, but to have a bit of action and see the rice terraces and their volcano, in short everything like on bloggers' Instagrams. Listen, the trip turned out totally top, everything was clearly organized as I asked and even better, but the coolest thing was when we drove away on a scooter further from tourist trails and found a wild beach where there's no one except locals and huge waves crash against black rocks, that view gave me goosebumps and we sat there until sunset ([well the traffic jam on the way back was insane] the driver was great showed me temples and coffee plantations, where I finally understood the difference between luak and regular arabica)) I returned all happy head clear skin rested though I got sunburned on the shoulders, but that's nothing, next year I definitely want to repeat it and I'll already know what to take with me and where to go)

Got my passport a month ahead, thought they'd lose something again, but everything arrived on time — Bali ain't your neighborly Turkestan, flew over fine. The hotel in Nusa Dua is something else, palm trees right on the grounds and the smell of sunscreen (I still have that scent stuck in my nose), mixes with the ocean and somehow cloves. Went for a spa treatment, the massage lady turned out pretty grumpy, but she rubbed me so hard I spent two days rediscovering myself, honestly loved it. Came back an absolute vegetable, but it's the best vegetable I've been in years, already rewatched the photos like a hundred times — still get goosebumps)).

Ubud is fine if you're ready for eternal crowds and heat with humidity like a sauna — I was exactly looking for solitude and found it in the rice terraces outside the city. Took a tour so I wouldn't think about transfers, but the guide talked more about shopping than about culture, though a couple of temples were shown in a way that makes you forget his flaws. Four points out of five — the jungle itself in the center of the island really impresses more than I expected, you have to see it with your own eyes.

Bali etogo zhdet’ ne stoilo – srazu srazu popal v atmosferu. Vse organizovanno, ot transfera do ekskursii po hramam, nichego ne vesselos’ i ne terjalos’ (a etogo ya bol’she vsego boyalcia). Edinstvennoe, chto smutilo – eto tolpa turistov, no cherez polchasa ya perestal ee zamechat’, tak kak vse bylo slishkom interesno R).

кторотко: Кута маған толығымен ұнады. қонақүй топ болмаса да, күн сайын тазалап, таңғы астары қалыпты еді, мен өмірімде онша көп скутер көрген емеспін, дыбысы аралардың ұясындай күндіз-түні басылмайды — бірақ үшінші таңға қарай үйреніп кеттім.. серфте тек көбікте тұрдым, бірақ жергілікті базарда сөмкені жарты бағаға сатып алып, өзімді шыңғысхандай сезіндім, күйіп келдім де балаша бақытты болып қайттым..

The passport was expiring in six months; everywhere was refusing, and here it turned out that with such a remaining period they let you into Indonesia. The manager immediately said — we’ll make it, and true, she was the only one who took it on. We didn’t do a visa, they stamped it right at Denpasar airport, though I kept worrying they’d turn us back. We stayed not in Ubud itself but a bit off to the side, but with a view of the rice terraces, and that turned out even better — silence, only roosters screaming. I booked the tour for temples and nature, but in the end what I remembered most was a massage for three dollars right on the roadside, the old lady squeezed all the tiredness out of me. I took an excursion to the volcano, went for that sake, but rain started — got blown through on the summit cap, but the ocean impressed, thats a fact. Definitely you need to come here not for a week but for three, and with no plans at all — the package paid for itself completely.

I got my visa for this their Indonesia through friends who also vacationed there, so I went to the same agency, time before the flight was running really tight. They did everything in a week, although I'd already mentally said goodbye to Bali — thought I wouldn't make it, and that's with my documents having a bunch of work-related complications. Landed in Kuta and immediately understood: it was worth the paperwork hassle, though the beach, of course, is nothing like our photos, but it has its own vibe. Spent the whole day walking through local shops, bought some wooden figurine for pocket change, then bargained with a taxi driver to the point of tears and ended up feeling like a winner. The coolest part — the ocean, warm like fresh milk, I sat in it for hours and thought about absolutely nothing, weird feeling. Came back happy as hell, tanned, full of impressions and with a recommendation for anyone who's doubting — go for it, you won't regret it.
