HEALTH TIPS FOR INDONESIA

Stay healthy in Indonesia

Essential health advice for your Indonesia trip, including Bali

Avoid "Bali Belly"

Traveller's diarrhoea is common. Never drink tap water (even for brushing teeth) and avoid ice in drinks. Stick to sealed bottled water only.

Animal Safety

Rabies is a risk, especially from monkeys in Bali's tourist areas and stray dogs. Avoid feeding or touching animals and seek immediate medical advice after any bite.

Mosquito Protection

Use DEET-based repellent, wear long sleeves/trousers at dusk and dawn to protect against Dengue and Malaria. Dengue is present island-wide including Bali.

Alcohol Safety

Be cautious of locally brewed spirits (Arak) which can be contaminated with methanol. Stick to bottled, recognised brands from reputable establishments.

Travel Health Kit

Pack diarrhoea medication, oral rehydration salts, antihistamines, pain relief, and any prescription medicines. Carry extras in hand luggage.

Travel Insurance

Ensure comprehensive travel insurance covers medical treatment and emergency evacuation from Indonesia, including remote islands.

INDONESIA TRAVEL FAQs

Your Indonesia questions answered

Common questions about travelling to Indonesia and Bali

Hepatitis A and Typhoid are essential for most travellers. Depending on your itinerary, you may also need Hepatitis B, Japanese Encephalitis, and Rabies. We'll assess your specific needs during consultation.

Malaria risk in Bali is very low, and antimalarial medication is generally not recommended for travel only to Bali and Java. However, if you plan to visit other islands like Lombok, Flores, or rural areas, you may need them. We'll advise based on your specific itinerary.

We recommend booking 6-8 weeks before travel to allow time for multiple doses and immunity to develop. However, we can accommodate last-minute travellers—contact us as soon as possible.

Yes, dengue fever is present throughout Indonesia, including Bali. There's no vaccine available, so prevention focuses on avoiding mosquito bites—use repellent, wear protective clothing, and stay in air-conditioned or screened accommodation.

Consultation fee is £30. Individual vaccine costs vary—some like Hepatitis A and Typhoid may be available free on the NHS. We'll provide a full cost breakdown during your consultation with no hidden fees.

Yes, most Indonesia travel vaccines can be given in a single appointment. Japanese Encephalitis requires 2 doses over 4 weeks, so early booking is recommended if you're visiting rural areas.
