Here what we spent in 29 days travelling Indonesia

Indonesia is one of our favourite destinations for a few reasons but one of those is just how cheap it is. We spent majority of our time in Bali but also visited the island of Lombok and Gili T. We have previously spent time here in Indonesia but our last trip was 29 days so here is a complete breakdown of exactly what we spent in 29 days whilst travelling in Indonesia.

• 

• 

• 

Accommodation: $795.42

Things to consider: we almost always opt for the cheapest accomodation option and in Indonesia we typically spent around $20-$30/night and this often included breakfast.

Food: $1667.40

Things to consider: your food bill will vary completely based on your preferences. Indonesia has some incredibly cheap street food options that are delicious and will set you back $2-$3/meal. On the other hand there are a plethora of trendy westernised cafes that serve up some of the best food we have eaten and compared to Australian prices they are still cheap costing roughly $8-$15/meal.

Experiences: $224.21

Things to consider: we are not big tour people, we much prefer to explore a place ourselves, however, this included a fishing tour, snorkelling, surfboard rental and a few massages.

Travel: $652.94

Things to consider: This price does not include our flights. It is motorbike rental, taxis and our boat crossings from Bali to Lombok and Gili T.

Laundry: $14.66

Things to consider: laundry is based on weight so obviously it will depend on how much clothing you are washing.

Shopping: $86.95

Things to consider: we are full time travellers so if it docent fit in our backpack we can't have it so we don't do much shopping. This amount is mostly art supplies for our daughter and a toy here and there.

Bank Fees: $0

Things to consider: We bank with ING so we do NOT incur any international fees for using our card and we receive 4 free ATM withdrawals per month and after that it is $5.

Flights: $675.39

Things to consider: We are a family of 3 and we always book the cheapest flight available. This flight was from Singapore to Indonesia and the reason its a little high is we had to pay to change our dates.

Visa: $148.33

Things to consider: This amount covers 30 days in Indonesia for 3 people.

Medical: $0

That brings our grand total for 29 days of travelling in Indonesia to $4265.30. This was our second time visiting Indonesia but or first time tracking our budget. We came in $954.70 under budget but we were travelling with friends so could have definitely stuck to a stricter budget if it were just us 3 but its way more fun to travel with mates.

I hope this budget breakdown helps you plan for your next Indonesia trip. If you have any questions shoot me a DM - @lifeofatravelfamily
