West Nusa Tenggara, Group travel
West Nusa Tenggara has many beaches that are still rarely visited, so they are still very clean, beautiful, and somewhat difficult to reach. Apart from the beaches, there are also other traditional attractions. Although not very big, West Nusa Tenggara has several small islands that are also tourist attractions, one of which is known as the Three Gili (Tiga Gili)

Labuan Bajo, Group travel
Labuan Bajo, who in Indonesia hasn't heard of it? If you are looking for beautiful beaches and seas for snorkelling and diving, then Labuan Bajo is the answer. Labuan Bajo is currently in the tourism development stage, so the cost of getting there is quite high, but its stunning natural beauty makes it worth it. Although the island is small, the experience of visiting it will be unforgettable. Ever hear komodo? Found them in Labuan Bajo

Sanur was overall a great experience to stay with my family. We went to a great hotel by the beach, enjoyed the food and had a nice vacation. I did feel safe in the environment (maybe due to the fact that I was with my family and in luxurious accommodations)

Bali, Solo travel
It was perfect experience! I really loved it! Even though I came alone, it was easy to find girls to hang out with. Food is cheap and delicious, people are friendly! Also recommend to try massage, it’s also very cheap!

Indonesia, Solo travel
I felt very safe in Indonesia. Asia has a huge culture towards respect for tourist and keeping them safe throughout their trip! I felt a lot of peace in Indonesia! It was easy to travel around the country and my phone was broken through most of my trip. Only thing is getting ripped off and charged for prices higher in the streets! But people are always open to negotiate and lower their prices if they know, you know the real price!! Still amazing for food, rich cultures, and the best kinds of travelers I’ve met!!

It's generally a safe place.There always the regular occasional breaking and entering like in any place in the world. But I feel more safe here than in many places. People are friendly and not predatorial like you can feel in other places.

If use simple rules for safe like everwhere in the world then it’s ok. Here lots of foreigners and lots of tourists traps. But if u read and explore Beto come here about all typical stuff then it’s ok.

Went to Indonesia Bali, twice this year! I love staying and enjoying my day there. The local is nice since i speak their language. Eventho you dont speak their language, they still treat you very nice and welcoming. Its very safe as a female to be there compare my time in japan🥲 i was follow twice by stranger in japan but not once in Bali.

Bali is a safe place to travel, but you need to follow the basic safety rules that apply in any country: do not walk alone at night, do not leave a glass unattended, do not leave with strangers. But in general: the island is very safe, as the locals will always help and advise, the tourists are kind
