INDECON Spotlight: indecon.id/spotlight-networks/java-volcano-tour-operatorWhat happens if I need to cancel?
Cancellations made ≥48 hours before Day 1 receive 100% Travel Credit — non-expiring, transferable to any traveler, denominated in IDR, with no rebooking fee. Within 48 hours, the deposit is forfeited. Force-majeure closures (e.g., volcanic alert) are handled under a separate weather-and-closures protocol with full Travel Credit protection.
See cancellation policy →What if the volcano closes on my trip date?
Volcanic alert level changes and BBKSDA closures are outside any operator's control. When a closure affects your confirmed dates, JVTO issues 100% Travel Credit with no rebooking fee — valid indefinitely, transferable. We monitor PVMBG alerts and notify guests proactively; our weather-and-closures policy documents the full SOP.
