We booked a 26 day private tour in Indonesia, and it's fantastic!

We booked a 26 day private tour in Indonesia, and it's fantastic!

“We normally do not book private tours but they came in at a reasonable price. Both organizations did a super job, they covered all local travel (air flights, ferries, and cars), hotels (with great breakfasts), guides and drivers, plus fees for all the sites. The hotels were 4 to 3.5 stars on the North American scale with 5 star service. They delivered on what we planned and then some.”

Rockhounds Touring Kalimantan, East Java & Central Java

“We thoroughly enjoyed our Indonesia adventure. Accommodation was well chosen to suit the trip we requested. We asked for a ‘rock’ tour and were very excited about the sellers we found. The Orangutan tour was truly amazing. Great tour guide, crew and cook in Kalimantan. Our journey through Central and West Java gave us many cultural experiences. Very caring guide and skilled driver. Thank you Febby and Carolina.”

We are absolutely thrilled by Indonesia…

We are absolutely thrilled by Indonesia…

“We are absolutely thrilled by Indonesia – the diversity of the country, the stunning nature, and above all, the warmth of its people truly impressed us. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this journey so wonderfully organized – the agency, the guides, the drivers, and the entire team working behind the scenes. A special highlight was the time on the houseboat. The crew and our guide were simply fantastic – everything was perfectly arranged, and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. These days will remain unforgettable! Another wonderful experience was our visit to a village in Bali. We were warmly welcomed, had the chance to see and learn so much, and felt truly embraced by the community. A special thank you goes to our guide and the entire family who hosted us. We also want to mention the incredible support we received from the team in the background. We were constantly kept up to date with flight information and other updates, which made everything run smoothly. For example, we had forgotten something at a hotel and realized it too late – but thanks to the amazing support from all sides, we got everything back without any hassle. All in all, We can only say: If you don’t book with them, you’re missing out. So many wonderful people are doing an outstanding job, and you can truly rely on every single one of them. Thank you once again for the countless impressions, the lovely people we met, the unforgettable experiences, the amazing team, and the flawless organization from A to Z!”

...it all started with a thought, a desire

...it all started with a thought, a desire

“...it all started with a thought, a desire: to visit Kalimantan and the splendid Togean and Banggai islands, a trip off the beaten track, often "very off the beaten path." This desire came true thanks to Agung, Ratih, Diwan, and the entire Kekayon Journeys staff. Communication during the trip planning process was clear and fast; our every wish was taken into consideration, evaluated together, and then made a reality. Throughout the trip, Diwan was always present with his discretion and professionalism. Everything went according to plan, even better. We visited heavenly corners and met hospitable and joyful people. We recommend Kekayon Journeys without hesitation. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏❤️ Pina and Simone”

From the initial inquiry to the very…

“From the initial inquiry to the very end of my 3 week trip, all I can say is AMAZING! Every single detail was taken care of. Even when the volcano erupted and I had to be rerouted, the team came through with no issue. I have never been more happy with a travel company. They aim to please, literally at all costs. Unbelievable service, reliable, and economical. I will use again and again and again. Thank you so very much”
