HEALTH TIPS FOR INDONESIA
Essential health advice for your Indonesia trip, including Bali
Traveller's diarrhoea is common. Never drink tap water (even for brushing teeth) and avoid ice in drinks. Stick to sealed bottled water only.
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.
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.
Be cautious of locally brewed spirits (Arak) which can be contaminated with methanol. Stick to bottled, recognised brands from reputable establishments.
Pack diarrhoea medication, oral rehydration salts, antihistamines, pain relief, and any prescription medicines. Carry extras in hand luggage.
Ensure comprehensive travel insurance covers medical treatment and emergency evacuation from Indonesia, including remote islands.

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.
