We are avid "off the beaten path" travelers and Jarrod has certainly taken us there, sometimes to the edge of our comfort zone. Not an easy task when he has to take into account our large extended family of nine, ages preteen to early 70s. With his guidance and planning, we have wandered all over Indonesia. Logistics alone are a staggering task. Jarrod's immense network of contacts and friends is almost unfathomable. It seems like everybody knows him or has heard of him. Thank you, Jarrod! We'll be back for more soon." - David and Kathy Q. "Wild Indonesia: A Custom Journey" Sample Itinerary Jarrod Hobson's 18-day Indonesia Itinerary Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
