We offer vast range of packages to explore the archipelago but mainly we can classified to three main category.


TOURS

EXPEDITION

is a journey with special interest to a certain area. Expedition usually has an exact objective to be accomplished; e.g. expedition for a group of Volcanologists to conduct their research, expedition of a group of Anthropologists visiting local tribe, or just a group hiking a peak of a mountain.


ROUTES

is our idea to give flexibility to participant to join our circular archipelago journey from any part of Indonesia to any part of the archipelago. We have our tour leader travelling across provinces in Indonesia and we published his schedule on our website, thus participant can already know in which province he/she can meet our tour leader, join the trip, and in which province the participant out of the circle trip.

ON & OFF ROAD TRIPS

Our packages are mainly conducted outdoor and surely participant will experience on and off road in each of our packages. We provide the proper vehicles and reliable quality of equipment to support both on and off-road tracks.


SMALL GROUPS & FREE INDEPENDENT TRAVELLERS

We design every of our package to be viable to any of ecotourism principles, and one of the reason why we maintain the size of every group to be necessarily small is in order to minimize impacts of our visits and activities. The basic concept of „carrying capacity‟ of a natural area must not be exceeded to maintain natural resources sustainability.

PAX

Pax is participant to each of our package. Every participant will be an agent of environmental conservation, thus we will share our operation standard for each of our package related to ethic of outdoor activity to minimize possible negative impacts of the activity. We offer every participant to deal with their own supplies; however, other types of support are still available on request.


EXPLORE AND SUPPORT

Our packages offer great enjoyments to participant, in the other side, bring direct and indirect benefits to locals.

TANDEM

Most of our packages provide less number of Guide and Porter (unless necessary) in order to reduce the number of persons entering fragile natural areas, but we provide our Tandem who deals with Trip Management and Technical aspects which need to be considered for entering every visited object. Tandem does not only function as Guide or Porter substitution, but will be participants‟ travel-mate, and they will update progress of the trip to The Bureau.

We strictly do profit oriented business, but in responsible ways.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY IN TOURISM

Take nothing but pictures (experience) and leave nothing but footprints‟. The clause has inspired us to design packages that will obviously apply principles in responsible tourism, to be environmentally friendly, both to natural and social environment where our activity will take place. We had set our operation procedures to maintain consistency of our commitment to the principles application.

INTO THOSE LOCAL’S

The best way to explore Indonesia is by getting dissolved into those local‟s;


TRANSPORTATIONS

All of our packages offered will optimize public transportation usage. We consider environment qualit degradation caused by pollution and more fuel (natural resources) consumption if we provide private coaches or buses for participants, instead, we offer encounters between participants and locals while they share the same public transportation. It is another interesting and total experience of locals and for us, by doing this way, can make us even closer to responsible tourism materialized as it should be.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Explore Indonesia will always do it‟s best to ensure using maximum local accommodations, like local family guest house, local house, and other type of accommodation that is commonly used including tent.


MEALS

We introduce as much as possible Indonesian culinary heritage as part of our local empowerment actions, however, in some areas where local restaurant are not available, we encourage participants to join our tandem in preparing their meals. This is an example of situation that determine the word of „friendship and togetherness‟ at least along every of our packages.
