que pensez vous de cet itinéraire pour partir un mois en Asie du Sud Est pour faire le Vietnam puis le Cambodge?
Vietnam: Hanoi-Baie d'Along-Hoa Lu-Hue-Danang-Hoi An-Nha Trang-Da Lat-Ho Chi Minh-Delta du Mekong
Cambodge: Siem Reap-Battambang-Pailin-Phnom Penh.
Est-ce trop ambitieux?
Le probleme reste le prix des billets d'avion...
Bonsoir,
Vaste programme si tu veux tout faire, mais c'est un beau programme à l'exception de Pailin ou il n'y a pas grand chose à voir. Mais j'y suis passé il y a quelques années et c'était encore occupé par les KR.
J'ai traversé le VN en bus du nord au sud pour 27$.et visité pratiquement ce que tu as prévu en faisant quelques trajets de nuit pour profiter de la journée.
Je pense que tu as vu trop grand.Fais un choix.Ce que tu proposes je l'ai réalisé en six semaines, peut être en ne me pressant pas mais il faut pouvoir profiter pleinement du pays et des rencontres que tu vas faire .
Si tu veux un plus d'explication, je suis à ta disposition.
Bonne soirèe
Bernard
Merci pour ces précieuses informations.
Je pense qu'effectivement je vais réduire un peu. Histoire d'avoir le temps de se poser un peu et rencontrer du monde.
Pour le bus, tu as pris un pass?
Oui, j'ai pris un pass que j'ai utiliser pour faire les différentes haltes. J'ai obtenu le pass par l'intermédiaire de la Guesthouse ou j'ai logé à Hanoï;
c'est pratique et les bus sont relativement confortable, j'ai 57 ans et je n'ai pas souffert du voyage...........
Effectivement, un mois c'est un peu court pour tout faire a moins de ne faire que "passer".
Pour ce qui est de l'open-bus, le prix a pas mal augmente. 27 USD pour faire du Nord au Sud, ce n'est plus possible si tu veux un minimum de confort.
Compte 50 USD si tu prends des sleeping-bus.
Pars aussi du principe que tu perdras beaucoup de temps en deplacements.
Hanoi : 2 jours minimum (+2 arrivee et depart)
Ha Long Bay : 2 jours une nuit pour profiter du site
Hoa Lu : connais pas, no comment
Hue : 3 jours sont un miniminimum
Da Nang : bof... ou alors en profiter pour faire une pause plage
Hoi An : 2 jours et plus si pause-plage
Nha Trang : comme j'y vis, je dirais le plus longtemps possible en faisant des tours decouverte de l'interieur des terres (Hauts Plateaux, campagne), mais 2 jours sont suffisants pour voir l'essentiel de la ville (uniquement la ville)
Da Lat : 2 jours, mais tu peux egalement partir de Nha Trang pour un tour de plusieurs jours qui te fera visiter les Hauts-Plateaux et te menera a Da Lat.
Ho Chi Minh : entre 1 jour et une semaine selon qu'on aime ou qu'on deteste
Delta du Mekong : Tout depend de la periode ou tu vas venir. Si c'est en pleine mousson, ca ne vaut pas la peine, tu vas galerer et ne pas voir grand chose.
Tu peux donc prendre un avion qui te menera directement au Cambodge
Tout ceci sans tenir compte des temps de deplacement qui sont assez longs, surtout en bus. Dormir la nuit et visiter la journee, a moins que tu aies un excellent sommeil dans les bus de nuit (pas evident si on mesure plus d'un metre 70 et deux arrets pendant la nuit), c'est de l'utopie. Tu vas etre completement vanne et tu ne profiteras pas de ton voyage.
Notre but en fait est de partir un mois, d'arriver à Ha Noi et de repartir de Bangkok. Donc en gros descendre le Vietnam jusqu'à Ho Chi Minh Ville avec étapes, et pr le Cambodge peut etre "sacrifier" un peu quelques étapes et de ne faire que Phnom Penh et Angkor là-bas?
Difficile au niveau des trajets?
Y a-t-il des trajets plus rapides au Vietnam? J'ai lu qu'il y avait des liaisons par bateau?
Je pense qu'un mois est ok pour vous explorer le Vietnam et Cambodge. Ce n'est pas trop ambitieux.
Hanoi : 2 jours pour visiter la sites touristiques
La baie d'Ha Long: 2 jours Départ de Hanoi le matin, passer une nuit dans le bateau à la baie d'halong. Retours à Hanoi lendemain l'après - midi.
L'ancienne capitale de Hoa Lu et les grottes Tam Coc: 1 jour (départ de Hanoi le matin. En fin de la journée, retour à Hanoi). Ce jour là, si vous voulez départ à Danang. vous pouvez prendre un Open bus (Départ de Hanoi vers 7:00 du soir, arrivé à Hue lendemain matin) ou bien vous pouvez prendre un train nuit à 21:00 ou 23:00. Arrivé à Hue lendemain matin.
Hue : 2 jours à Hue, c'est suffisant! Si vous prennez un vol à Hue, vous départ le matin à Hanoi. ça fait une heureu de Hanoi à Hue. L'après - midi, vous visiter la site touristiques de Hue. Lendemain, visiter Hue.
Hue - Danang - Hoian: 1 jour Départ de Hue le matin en public bus ou loeur un privé voiture. En route à Hoian, visiter la plage Lang Co, le Col des Nuages, la montagne Marble et le village de Non Nuoc, le musé de Cham à Danang. Arrivée à Hoian vers 3heureus de l'après - midi.
Hoian: 2jours: Visiter l'ancienne quartier, My Son, la plage Cua Dai.
Hoi an - Danang - Nha Trang: 1 jour Transfert à la gare Danang ou l'aéroport à Danang. ça fait presque 8 heureus si vous prennez en train. ça fait 1heure si vous prennez un vol.
Nha Trang: 2 jours pour visiter Nha Trang. Relaxation à la plages, visiter les îles, diving, snorkeling et natation à Nha Trang.
Nha Trang - Dalat: 1 jour. Départ de Nha Trang un bus le matin (ou louer une privée voiture). Arrivé à Dalat vers 14:00.
Dalat: 2 jours.
Dalat - Ho Chi Minh Ville: 1 jour en vol ou en bus
Ho Chi Minh ville: 1 jour pour faire un tour en ville
Ho Chi Minh ville - Tay Ninh - les Tunnels Cu chi: 1 jour
Ho Chi Minh ville - Delta du Mékong: 3 jours
Delta du Mékong au 3ème jour: prendre un bateau à Phnom Penh. Je pense que 7 jours pour explorer Cambodia, c'est suffisant pour vous.
si vous avez besoin plus d'information pour votre voyage au Vietnam, par exemple de logement, le prix d'avion, le train, le bus. N'hesitez pas m'écrire via email: chinhgiang79@yahoo.fr. Je serai heureuse de parler avec vous.
Y a un truc que j'arrive pas a piger.
2 jours a Hoi An ou il n'y a pas grand chose a part des pizzerias et encore des pizzerias et
seulement 2 jours a Hue, ancienne capitale ou il y a un tas de trucs a voir, non seulement en ville mais surtout dans la campagne environnante.
C'est pareil avec Hoa Lu; mais qu'y a-t-il a Hoa Lu? deux ruines qui se battent en duel et un paysan heureux de faire payer les touristes qui veulent monter sur son bufle...
Hue-Danang_Hoi An....sans s'arreter a Bach Ma, pourquoi pas? mais en s'arretant a Lang Co ou de magnifiques poteaux electriques en ferraille defigurent totalement la plage.
De plus allez essayer de faire comprendre a votre chauffeur que vous voulez monter en haut du col des nuages alors qu'il y a un tunnel qui passe dessous!
Et un jour a HCM ville...Pourquoi pas 1 jour aussi a Lyon ou Bordeaux...quand on visite la France.
Franchement, je ne suis pas du tout d'accord avec toi. Ce que tu proposes, c'est un marathon. Une heure de vol entre Ha Noi et Hue, c'est oublier les deux heures minimales de perte de temps avant et apres le vol (arrivee, passage de la douane, attente de l'avion, debarquement, trouver un taxi, arriver a destination). Je suis tres etonnee qu'un(e) Vietnamien(ne) propose ce genre de circuit, tu connais bien mieux le pays que moi et tu devrais savoir que ce que tu proposes, ce ne sont pas des vacances decouverte, mais un safari photos compagnie touristique low cost.
Je ne peux rien te dire sur le train, car je ne l'ai jamais pris. Certains sont contents de leur voyage, d'autres pas. Par contre, cela ne te fait pas epargner beaucoup de temps par rapport au bus et ca coute plus cher. J'ai eu envie de le prendre plusieurs fois, mais comme je suis habituee aux bus (plutot open-bus, pas bus publics), je reviens toujours a cette solution puisque moins couteuse.
Par contre, il y a maintenant qq lignes a grande vitesse et confort maximal. Selon les periodes, il faut reserver sa place et le prix est assez eleve. Evite les week-ends car c'est toujours complet dans les tranches horaires "normales".
Un exemple :
Un ami voulait quitter Nha Trang le dimanche soir pour rentrer a Saigon, il n'avait pas reserve et le train etait complet ainsi que le suivant. Il a du partir au train du matin (dimanche perdu) pour etre a Saigon le lundi matin (travail oblige).
Toutes les "bonnes" destinations touristiques sont prises d'assaut par les Vietnamiens pendant le week-end et les jours feries. Par contre, si tu peux t'arranger pour voyager en semaine, c'est super cool et il y a tout le temps de la place. Attention aussi a la periode de vacances scolaires ou les Vietnamiens voyagent plus. Contrairement a certaines idees recues, il y en a beaucoup qui ont les moyens de s'offrir des vacances et depuis un an ou deux, ils frequentent les hotels, ce qui etait rare avant.
salut,
vu le parcours c'est très ambitieux en 1 mois seulement, ne pas oublier qu'une visite d'Angkor prend minimum 4 jours, que les trajets sont longs, et que le Nord du viet-nam mérite au moins deux semaines...
il faudrait peut-être réduire le séjour dans le sud pour bien profitter du cambodge.
bon trip
rafa
Point de vue identique à Raphaelricote...sans un mini de 8 jours au cambodge, il vaut mieux remettre le voyage au futur. Or le conseil, le veritable, c'est que voir les sites d'ANGKOR le plus rapidement, c'est le mieux tant le public croit tous les ans!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi fellow travelers,
First trip to Vietnam.
We’ll be arriving in Ho Chi Minh City during Tet.
Is it complicated to find accommodation and get around during this period?
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks for your replies.
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip?
I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before:
- Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees.
Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands.
Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way).
Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan.
Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide).
Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre.
Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island.
Day 10 – Head to Semporna.
Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai.
Day 15 – Bohey Dulang.
Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous.
I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing.
I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture.
But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary.
If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Hi there. To make the most of Lake Toba, is it better to find accommodation on the lake’s shores (which one?) or on Samosir Island? Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!
Laurence from Bayonne
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai?
Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai.
My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Hello,
While traveling in Thailand, I’m looking for a Buddhist kumlai reed bracelet.
Does anyone know where I can find one?
In Bangkok, I visited a few temples but didn’t see any in the nearby shops.
If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Have a great day! :-)
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok:
No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna:
From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄).
Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM.
Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau:
Found this via AI—is it legit?
No online booking, as far as I can tell.
Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly????
And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cédric.
Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning
March 24: Phnom Penh
March 25: Phnom Penh
March 26: Depart for Kampot
March 27: Kampot
March 28: Depart for Battambang
March 29: Battambang
March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap
March 31: Siem Reap
April 1: Siem Reap
April 2: Siem Reap
April 3: Siem Reap
April 4: Siem Reap
April 5: Departure
Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
My partner and I are planning a trip to Indonesia in September-October 2026. It’ll be our first time in Asia, and we’re thinking of hitting the classic spots in East Java and Bali, then wrapping up with a cruise around Komodo for some snorkeling/diving. Here’s a rough draft of our itinerary—I’m wondering if it’s doable.
20/09: Flight from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, arrive around noon, afternoon/evening and overnight in Yogyakarta.
21/09: Borobudur
22/09: Prambanan
23/09: Travel to Bromo (Cemoro Lawang)
24/09: Bromo
25/09: Kawa Ijen
26/09: Travel to Bali, overnight in Pemuteran
27/09: Excursion to Pulau Melujan, overnight in Pemuteran
28/09: Travel to Munduk, overnight in Munduk
29/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk
30/09: Explore Munduk and surroundings, overnight in Munduk

02/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
03/10: Explore Ubud and surroundings, overnight in Ubud
04/10: Travel to Denpasar, flight to Labuan Bajo, overnight in Labuan Bajo
05/10: Komodo cruise
06/10: Komodo cruise
07/10: Komodo cruise, flight to Denpasar in the late afternoon/evening or overnight in Labuan Bajo.
08/10: Flight to Denpasar (if not taken the day before), afternoon in Jimbaran, overnight near Denpasar
09/10: 10:00 AM flight Denpasar - SIN, overnight in Singapore
10/10: Flight SIN-YQB
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing
July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao
August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide
August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena
August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands
August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts)
August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk
August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar
August 17: Rammang Rammang
August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
