Bali temple — Explera Indonesia creator program

Creator collaborations — complimentary Indonesia experiences for coverage

We host travel influencers and bloggers on day tours and activities across Indonesia; you share the story with your audience.

The program

Real experiences, run by the team that operates them daily.

Explera is a ASITA-registered Indonesia destination management company with our own guides, vehicles and operations team. The experiences we offer creators are the same products we run every day for travel agencies worldwide — licensed guides, proper insurance and a 24/7 operations desk behind every collaboration, not a one-off marketing stunt. You get dependable logistics and genuinely filmable days; we get authentic coverage of products we actually operate.

In exchange for a complimentary day tour or activity, we ask for honest, disclosed coverage across your blog, YouTube and social channels. It is a fair, transparent exchange that builds long-term relationships with creators whose audiences are planning Indonesia trips.

Who we look for

Three tiers of collaboration.

10k–50k followers · engagement ≥4%

50k–250k followers, or a strong niche blog/YouTube

A tailored multi-day program co-built with our team, with experiences money cannot usually buy — a private villa stay, a phinisi day to Komodo, a Raja Ampat dive.

FAQ

Creator program — your questions.

Who qualifies for the creator program?

Travel-focused influencers, bloggers and YouTubers with engaged audiences — from rising creators (10k+) to established names. We weigh engagement and content quality as heavily as follower count, and prioritise creators whose audience matches our source markets.

What exactly is complimentary?

The day tours and activities themselves — guiding, entrance fees and local transport for the agreed experience. Flights and hotels are generally not included, though we can arrange trade rates and occasionally partner on accommodation case by case.

Do you cover flights and hotels?

Not as standard. The program covers experiences and activities; for flights and stays we can quote trade rates, and larger collaborations may include negotiated hotel partnerships depending on scope and reach.

How does disclosure work?

All collaborations must be disclosed honestly per ASA, FTC and platform rules — a clear “in partnership with Explera” or equivalent. Authentic, transparent coverage performs better and protects both sides.

Can I bring a partner or crew?

Usually yes for one plus-one or a small crew, agreed in advance. Larger crews and equipment for professional shoots are handled through our film-production desk.

Do you require content approval?

We ask to preview content before publishing for factual accuracy (names, safety, pricing), but we never script your opinion — honest reviews are the point.

How far ahead should I apply?

For peak seasons — cherry blossom (April), autumn foliage (November) and the ski season — apply 2–4 months ahead, as inventory and dates are tight. Off-peak, 3–4 weeks is usually enough.

Which destinations are available?

All of our operating areas — Bali, Java (Yogyakarta, Bromo), Lombok and the Gilis, Komodo, Sumatra and Raja Ampat — subject to season and availability.
