Peak season:
Generally speaking, Indonesia’s dry season – running from June through September – is peak tourist season. A lot of entertainment venues close up during Ramadan, and a lot of Indonesians tend to spend time with their families at the end of this time, also known as Eid Al-Fitr. If you’re planning on surfing, make sure you book a cheap flight to Indonesia somewhere between April and September. Keep in mind that peak season in Indonesia sees a spike in accommodation and flight rates, so be sure to book your flights well in advance if you’re planning a peak season Indonesian holiday.
Off season:
Indonesia’s wet season runs from mid-January through to March and also marks the off season for touristic activities, although this varies greatly depending on which island you’re visiting. The off season offers you with the opportunity to find cheaper flight and accommodation deals, but do make sure you book well in advance to avoid stumbling into availability issues at some of the more popular islands such as Bali.

Buses run to the city center every 20 to 40 minutes, although getting there can take up to an hour. Taxi transfers from the Jakarta airport are easy and convenient to use, and they’re also faster if you’re in a hurry.

You may also hire a car from a car rental company, although this might be easier said than done with all the traffic in the city.
