Jakarta makes a good base for those looking to make a brief foray deeper into Java or even as far as the neighbouring island of Bali. Gray Line (tel: (021) 630 8105; website: www.grayline.com) offers day trips to Borobodur, setting out from Soekarno Hatta International Airport. On arrival in Yogyakarta, the tours move on to the epic site itself with the world famous temple complex. The Bali tours are also run by Gray Line and again begin at the airport in Jakarta. They include a speedy run through of the main sights on the island, including the rice paddies and temples, before a late flight back to Jakarta. Two day/one night tours are also available to both destinations through Gray Line.
