Indonesia is not a simple destination. It is a vast archipelago of cultures, landscapes, logistics, and local nuances. Designing it well requires more than bookings — it requires insight. That is where Kekayon makes the difference. Based on those genuine clients’ voices, here are what they love:

“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.”

“We were never disappointed. We got exactly what we expected and more! Beautiful accommodations, knowledge and thoughtful guides, safe and prompt drivers and fantastic overall coordination. I would argue that the guides Kekayon arranged for us were top notch. We were brought to places where we didn’t see other tourists to get the best pictures!”

“My friend Gord and I have just spent 25 days and 24 nights on an Indonesian tour thru Kekayon Journeys. Our agent, Febby, has arranged everything flawlessly. Over 3.5 weeks, 4 domestic plane flights, 2 riverboat live aboard trips, 9 hotels, over a dozen wonderful tours with both drivers and guides, restaurants and meals and so many moving pieces, its amazing that it’s gone so well!”

“The company Kekayon journeys was exceptional - we made a last minute change to our plans and they were super fast at organising the new itinerary. Everyone was friendly and efficient, we had multiple destinations and drivers who were all safe, professional and friendly. A special mention to Ricky who drove us safely across Sumatra navigating landslides and mountain bends with skill.”

“Kekayon Journeys hat unseren Bali Urlaub perfekt organisiert und begleitet. Die individuelle Auswahl der Hotels war großartig. Auf spontane Unwägbarkeiten im Verlauf der Reise, wie z. B. der Ausfall der Fähren nach Gili Travangan, wurde vorab reagiert und Alternativen gefunden. Ebenfalls wurden kleine sinnvolle Änderungen im Ablauf der Reise flexibel empfohlen und umgesetzt.”

“I had the opportunity last minute to travel to Indonesia and didn’t have time to do my usual research and planning so i tried Tavel Local which connected me to Kekayon Journeys. And am I ever glad! They by far exceeded any expectations! The team was professional, courteous and responsive not to mention flexible. They were extremely thoughtful in proposing an itinerary and very understanding as we revised and refined it as I own I’m particular about what I want to do (and not do) on travel/vacation. My 3-week journey was magical! Exceptional lodging, knowledgeable guides, safe and responsible drivers and unique activities. All that might be reasonable to expect. The support continues on the ground throughout your adventure until you’re back on a plane out of Indonesia — everything from monitoring unusual island volcanic activity or the usual travel hiccups with hotels, your personal contact assigned to you is there to advise, handle, support and check in. Mine was the phenomenal Mr. Dirwan who even came to greet me in person as I stopped in his city. I can’t emphasize enough this genuine unparalleled care and kindness — from everyone — as I traveled throughout their country for weeks — not to mention their sincere generosity. Candidly, I feel they went above and beyond to make me happy. They took care of everything. I’d highly recommend Kekayon’s team for anyone travelling to Indonesia. Consider what exactly you want, your specific style, preference, and communicate clearly — start with a video conference and let the team work their magic. Everybody needs a Mr. Dirwan! 🙏”

“We had such a wonderful experience during our time in East Java. Caroline created the most wonderful itinerary for us with a lot of activity which is what we like to see and do! It was all so memorable that we consider our time in Indonesia one of our best holiday's ever! Our driver Witoc was with us the entire journey from East Java to dropping us off at our hotel in Ubud. We do not know how he did it and always with a smile. For us the traffic and driving is nerve racking as passengers even. He had nerves of steel and got us everywhere safely. We commend him for such a fine job! Our tour guide in Jogja was very knowledgeable and friendly. Nurri was very personable, and we enjoyed our days with him. He definitely made our trip full of lasting memories. I thank you all your expertise and kindness. Our first Indonesian trip was a big success!”

“Kekayon Travel has been so responsive, professional, and wonderful to work with in planning my weeklong Bali trip for my 40th birthday. From planning the perfect agenda, accommodating all my requests for changes, specific guest needs, preferences for touristy places, and all things in between, and also being ready to jump on a video call to discuss further - they have been a dream to work with. Highly recommend working with them in planning your best Bali itinerary!”

“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 have just returned from a fabulous holiday visiting different Indonesian islands. Febby our destination expert listened to our ideas and planned a bespoke trip which exceeded our expectations by using their local knowledge. Kekayon journeys certainly delivered many wonderful experiences. We had Diwan available on WhatsApp to answer any questions whilst away, we were well looked after by local guides; Togi and Iggy. Stand out experience was trekking through the jungle at Bukit Lawang with Ranger Ginta, we saw many orangutans. This is the way to ethically travel and experience local culture. A 5 star experience, we wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you”

“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!”

“I couldn’t be happier about finding them. Our trip to Indonesia was perfectly organized from start to finish b, Kekayon Journeys. They managed to work within our budget and still gave us an amazing glimpse of the country, fully understanding the kind of experience we were looking for. From the moment we first got in touch until the day we returned home, we had a dedicated representative who made us feel completely safe during our trip. Everything went smoothly, and whenever something unexpected came up, they handled it so professionally that it never impacted our experience. I’d absolutely recommend the incredible team at Kekayon Journeys — if you’re planning to visit Indonesia.”

“...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”

“Es war eine wunderschöne Reise, die perfekt organisiert war und unsere Erwartungen noch übertroffen hat. Wir haben die Verlässlichkeit, Pünktlichkeit und das Wissen der Guides sehr geschätzt. Auch die Fahrer waren umsichtig, geübt und freundlich. Wir haben uns im Straßenverkehr immer sehr sicher gefühlt. Die Betreuung via E-Mail und WhatsApp verdient ein sehr großes Lob. Durch unsere Begeisterung haben wir im Familien-,Freundes- und großen Bekanntenkreis schon kräftig die Werbetrommeln für TravelLocal gerührt. Auch viele Photos und Berichte wurden geteilt. Deswegen haben schon einige Menschen Interesse an Ihrer Agentur angemeldet. Die Auswahl der Hotels war toll, auch da bewies die örtliche Agentur „Kekayon“ großes Geschick. Alles hat bestens funktioniert und wir werden uns in Zukunft wieder gerne an TravelLocal wenden. Vielen herzlichen Dank!”

“We booked a month’s tour of Central Java, Sulawesi and Flores – We discussed plans direct with Febby Diana in Indonesia whom we found to be highly responsive, easy to communicate with and very understanding of our requirements. She made planning and booking a very easy process. Paying through the Travel Local website was simple. We found her selection of hotels to be in accordance with our requests. The documentation received before departure was very informative and clear. Overseeing our trip was carried out by Diwan from the local agents. We communicated through WhatsApp (we had bought a local Indonesian SIM) We found Diwan to be exceptional in his care throughout our trip. He was very prompt in responding to messages and was helpful in adapting plans due to need to rebook flights and change hotels when local airlines cancelled flights or changed their schedules. He also checked us in for our flights and forwarded to us boarding passes. This was very helpful as all domestic flights must be checked in online with these only possible 12 hours in advance. We had 8 flights on Indonesian carriers, Wings, Lionair and Batik and despite warnings about reliability all our flights were on time Before departing we were concerned about road safety and are pleased to say that all three drivers were very careful and we felt very safe, The vehicles were in good condition, spacious and comfortable which was important as some journeys were long on very twisty mountain roads sometimes of indifferent quality, we particularly liked our driver on Flores. Throughout our trip we were accompanied by a local guide for each island. They were all highly experienced and knowledgeable about their areas. On several occasions their experience was able to ensure that we went on excursions at the right time of day for the best experience e,g, when to climb Mount Kelimutu – being older men possibly did mean that their English was not as good as younger generations, but it was never a hindrance. They were always happy to accommodate our changes to the schedule such as including the excellent Sangiran Early Man Site and Museum north of Solo on Java. Overall, we had a wonderful trip and were very happy that we had booked through Local Travel’s designated agents in Indonesia. Dealing directly with local agents is quick, efficient and beneficial and payment through the security of the Travel Local platform gave a sense of added security. We shall use both again.”

“The trip was really well organised. The team were very helpful before the trip in helping me understand what to do. My experience on the holiday was excellent - all connections made efficiently. Good choice of guides and hotels. Overall, very happy with the price - in particular a stay at a dive resort which I couldn't have accessed cheaper.”

“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”

“We worked with Kekayon Journeys for a 3-week tour of the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. They were absolutely amazing, exceeding expectations every step of the way. We started planning the trip a year prior to departure, as we had a number of personal objectives from the six travelers in our group. The team helped us plan the itinerary to our needs, provided us with the information we needed to be well prepared for the travels, and supported us throughout the journey. Mr. Agung and Mr. Diwan were amazing. A short story to highlight their capabilities: Under the best of conditions, travel between islands in Indonesia is difficult. But Mt Lewotobi in eastern Flores was erupting, cancelling flights for indeterminant period of time. So with an hour's notice after one of our flights was cancelled, Kekayon Journeys set us up with a driver and a night's lodging. And within six hours, had set us up with an alternate plan to go to Sumba instead of eastern Flores. We went the next day to Sumba for three days, rather than dithering in Sanur, waiting for flights to re-start. Every one on the trip plans to go back to Indonesia. My wife and I are actually planning two more trips over the next five years. And for every trip, we will work with Kekayon Journeys to plan, schedule and manage the trip. Thank you, Mr. Agung and Mr. Diwan!”
