Indonesia

This beguiling nation of over 17,000 islands is home to a huge diversity of adventures to choose from. It's hard to beat Indonesia for the sheer range of experiences on offer.

Having more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the largest archipelago in Southeast Asia, making it difficult to decide where to travel when on holiday there. A customised trip to Indonesia will guarantee that you are visiting the locations that are most appropriate for your requirements. There are many options, including elegant retreats amidst rice terraces, volcanic views, and roaring rivers in Ubud, Bali’s cultural centre, or unwind in a breathtaking beach resort or opulent villa. Beyond Bali’s borders, there are a tonne of additional places to visit, all with the help of a knowledgeable tour guide: Java, Lombok, Komodo Island in Komodo National Park, the Gili Islands, Sumba Island, Sulawesi, and Raja Ampat.For luxurious sailing excursions in her distant eastern seas, Indonesia also boasts some stunning traditional phinisi boats that are ideal for scuba diving lovers.

The islands of Indonesia are surrounded by beautiful beaches, making them ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Islands like Bali and Lombok also boast some of the best surfing beaches in the world. Indonesia is made up of various unique ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups spread throughout its numerous islands. Scuba diving, jungle trekking, and mountain climbing are just a few of the unforgettable Indonesia experiences that can be had there. Despite having a large population and many densely populated areas, Indonesia has vast wilderness areas that support the second highest level of biodiversity in the world.

 

No two areas you visit in Indonesia will be the same; from nature and terrain to religion and culture, this archipelago’s diversity will leave you yearning to learn more. A person visiting Bali, located in the centre of Indonesia, will learn about the island’s vibrant Hindu culture, ancient civilizations, and numerous temples. Nearly all Balinese adhere to Hinduism, in contrast to the majority-Muslim rest of Indonesia. There is a prevailing sense of tranquil spirituality on the island, which is frequently referred to as “the island of a thousand temples.”

 

Lombok, which lies next to Bali, has some of the best surf and less crowded beaches than Bali. Although Lombok doesn’t have the same depth of culture, it is unrivalled for beach serenity and is close to the remote Gili Islands. Your trip to Indonesia will get more isolated the further east you opt to go from Bali, and this remoteness provides a variety of unique activities, such as diving near Raja Ampat Island’s Misool Eco Resort or seeing Komodo dragons.Java, the most populous island in Indonesia, is home to many historical landmarks, including the magnificent Borobudur temple, the vibrant cities of Yogyakarta and Jakarta, as well as stunning natural areas, including volcanoes like Mount Bromo and the Central Javan mountain ranges, which are ideal for trekkers and intrepid explorers. Discovering everything Indonesia has to offer in one trip is simply impossible after visiting; the key is to do less and make plans to come back the following year for another luxurious holiday.
