Visa
Most tourists can obtain a visa on arrival, costs are US$25 for a 30 day stay, or US$10 for a 7 day stay. For some countries there is an additional visa fee of US$50. Payment is by cash at the immigration desk upon arrival at the International Bali or Jakarta airport. For some countries this visa-on-arrival does not apply, and people need to apply for a tourist visa in their country of origin before traveling. We highly recommend that you contact your local Indonesian Consulate or Embassy to check requirements for travelers of your nationality and/or passport that you will be traveling on.
Vaccinations
Please get advice from your local medical center. For some parts of Indonesia malaria prophylactics are recommended as well as booster injections for intestinal diseases and hepatitis A and B. While onboard the Seven Seas, we ensure you will run no risk of "traveler's diseases" as the food is prepared with a high degree of hygiene and all the drinking water comes from bottles. Please ensure your medical insurance covers your vacation.
Currency, Cards, Cash
Your trip will be fully-paid before you start. Typical additional expenses for which you must consider bringing cash for (Indonesian Rupiah or US$) include: domestic airport tax, rental of dive or snorkeling gear, laundry, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks and tips. The Seven Seas has a small on-board shop with souvenirs and beach wear. Those items can be purchased with cash. Also, when we visit villages often there are interesting local handicraft for sale, for those you must pay Indonesian Rupiah, the boat can help exchange small amounts if needed.
It is highly appreciated if you choose to tip the crew. You are free to determine the amount, but we suggest you give it to the trip leader, who will combine and then spilt it evenly over all crew at the end of the trip.
If your holiday included land stays, you can pay for most hotel and restaurant bills with credit cards. However, we recommend you pay as much as possible with local currency. On Bali, at about every corner of the street you will find ATM cash machines that service most foreign bank cards, most common are those servicing cards with the Cirrus and Maestro logo's.
When leaving Indonesia, departure tax is Rp 100,000 (about US$10) per person. This can only be paid at the airport in local currency.
Alcoholic Beverages
The Seven Seas bar has a wide selection of wines and spirits. If you like to bring your own, please discuss that during booking. Note that Indonesian Customs Department allows for 1 liter of liquor and 200 cigarettes to be brought in duty-free per person.
Language
The Seven Seas works with a very experienced crew from all over the Indonesian Archipelago. The trip leader and PADI divemaster are fluent in English and most of the crew know basic English. As most of the areas that we visit are remote, people you will meet will speak Bahasa Indonesia only. The trip leader will be happy to translate for you.
Insurance
It is recommended to arrange a Calculation Insurance policy with your travel agent for your flights and to have good medical insurance, a baggage loss or damage insurance or combined travel insurance. Please check the terms and conditions of your booking with respect to cancellation of the trip with Seven Seas.

If you have special needs for meals, equipment (fishing gear etc) or sleeping arrangements (baby cot) please enquire with us prior to departure. Almost anything is possible! As parents ourselves, we understand what it takes to ensure an enjoyable trip for all members of your group, big and small.
