Jakarta Shore Excursion Guide
Tanjung Priok port is approximately 12-15 km from Central Jakarta, which takes about 45-60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Our drivers know the best routes and timing to avoid congestion. The distance means you'll have about 6-7 hours of actual touring time on an 8-9 hour shore excursion. We've designed our itinerary to maximize your experience while ensuring you return to port with plenty of buffer time before your ship departs.
Most nationalities receive a free visit visa or Visa on Arrival for Indonesia for stays up to 30 days. Cruise passengers are typically granted a short-term landing permit for the duration of the port call. However, we recommend checking with your cruise line or the Indonesian embassy before travel. We can also advise based on your passport — just message us via WhatsApp with your nationality before booking.
We monitor cruise ship schedules through port authorities. If your ship is delayed, we automatically adjust pickup time at no extra charge. If the delay makes the tour impossible, we offer a full refund or the option to reschedule for your next port call. For cruise cancellations, we provide 100% refund with no questions asked. Your peace of mind is our priority.
Absolutely. While we have a recommended itinerary, you can customize based on your interests. Want more shopping time? Prefer to focus on museums or food? Need wheelchair-accessible sites? Just let us know when booking. Our driver will adjust the route to match your preferences while ensuring we return to port on time. We've accommodated many special requests from cruise passengers over the years.
Our drivers speak conversational English and have good knowledge of Jakarta's history, culture, and top attractions. They can share key facts about Monas, Kota Tua, and other landmarks. For guests wanting an in-depth guided experience with a licensed professional, we can arrange a private tour guide at an additional cost (approximately IDR 500,000 for the day). Request this option when booking.
