FAQ about Java
Do I need a guide in Java?
It isn’t essential, but the trip goes more smoothly with one: the guide translates, bargains and keeps an eye on timing. Each tour card shows its format — “With a guide”, “With a driver” or “Private”.
When is the best time to go?
The dry season is more comfortable, but routes run in the rainy season too: downpours are short and usually come in the afternoon. We’ll tell you which days are best to keep for the sea.
Is it safe to book a tour in advance?
We operate officially and confirm the itinerary and all extra charges in writing before you pay. Refunds and rescheduling follow rules you see in advance, not “depending on the situation”.
