Uzone.id – Thinking about visiting Indonesia any time soon? A country with breathtaking sceneries, rich cultures, friendly hospitality, and a thousand hidden-gem islands that offer fascinating experiences for you as travelers.
Bali is a great destination, but we assure you there are so many places to visit that it’s worth your time and money. For example, Komodo National Park, Yogyakarta with ancient temples and ruins, Raja Ampat with its heaven-like sceneries, Flores Island, and East Java (Banyuwangi and Sarongan Pesanggaran).
Exploring Indonesia can be an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime, and having the right apps can make your journey even smoother. Well, this should be on the preparation list, because you need to pay attention to these details before starting your trip.
Here are five travel apps that can be super helpful while you’re traveling in Indonesia, whether it’s Bali or any other city.
Grab
Well, Grab is the Southeast Asian version of Uber–with a cheaper price. Whether you need a car, a motorbike, or even food delivery, Grab has got you covered. Plus, Grab has health services to buy medicine, just in case you’re catching a cold or fever.
The app is super user-friendly—you just input your starting point and destination, and it gives you a fixed price without haggling with the driver. You can pay with cash or cashless, making it a versatile option for getting around the busy streets of Jakarta or the serene beaches of Bali.
Gojek
Another ride-hailing app is Gojek, which is the Indonesian original one. It offers similar services to Grab, including rides and food delivery.
But, there’s always uniqueness in every app. Gojek has some features that Grab or even Uber doesn’t have. One of them is its GoLife services, where you can book everything from home cleaning to massage therapists straight to your door.
There’s also a GoTransit option where you can buy a public transportation ticket combined with GoRide Services. With this feature, you can start your journey from a GoRide to the station, purchase a Commuter Line ticket in the app, and take another GoRide from the station to the final destination.
Traveloka
Traveloka is your one-stop shop for booking flights, hotels, and even activities in Indonesia. It’s particularly handy for finding local deals and last-minute offers. This app also provides you with detailed information about your destinations.
The app’s user-friendly interface and extensive network mean you can book everything, even from a motel to luxury resorts only in one app. Plus, the app often features exclusive promotions that can save you a ton of money on your travel expenses.
Klook
If you’re looking to book tours, activities, and attraction tickets, Klook is a must-have app to travel wherever you are.
To use this app, you can just download the app on your phone, create an account with your active email, and connect your phone number. Then, input the destination you are interested in and Klook will show you the top things to do and recommended experiences around the area.
From exploring the cultural treasures of Yogyakarta to diving in Raja Ampat, Klook offers you a bunch of options. The best part of this app is the convenience of having your tickets and bookings all in one app, often at a discounted rate. It’s perfect for spontaneous travelers who decide on their next adventure on the go.
Maps. me
Exploring a new place can be tricky, especially if you don’t have a reliable internet connection. Maps. me app can easily solve this problem by providing detailed offline maps.
You can download maps for the areas you’re visiting beforehand and use them without needing any data.
Since Indonesia still has remote areas without internet, this app is particularly useful for exploring remote areas like Komodo Island or the jungles of Sumatra. The app’s detailed maps include hiking trails, points of interest, and even some off-the-beaten-path locations that you might not find on other maps.
Well, using these apps can transform your travel experience in Indonesia and make it more enjoyable and less stressful. So, before exploring Indonesia, download these apps and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
