Welcome to Indonesia

Indonesia is located between Asia and Australia. The majority of the 250 million people who make Indonesia their home live on some of the largest islands: Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, and Sulawesi. But with over 17,000 islands, the country offers plenty of travel opportunities to keep a curious traveller busy for many years. It is no surprise that this sprawling archipelago offers incredible trip opportunities. The natural diversity of Indonesia is enormous. The country is home to over 150 active volcanoes, many of which are accessible and offer epic views of mighty volcanic landscapes. On Java the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park and the Ijen volcano complex are easily accessible. While the mighty Mount Rinjani awaits adventurous travellers in the mood for a multi-day trek on the island of Lombok.

Discover Indonesia

Indonesia, world’s largest archipelago also has plenty of wonderful beaches. The options and possibilities are enormous and many islands are surrounded by colorful coral reefs teeming with marine life. There’s much to discover for snorkelers and divers alike. When it comes to tropical jungles, Indonesia has some of the largest remaining swats of rainforest in the world. These forests are teeming with diverse wildlife from orangutans, komodo dragons, elephants, birds, and much more. Due to the isolated nature of these islands, there are many endemic animals in these forests. Ancient cultural sites of Indonesia’s Hindu and Buddhist historic past can also be visited on various islands. For example, the 9th century Buddhist Borobudur temple is an impressive structure set in a beautiful landscape. All in all, Indonesia caters to basically every possible kind of visitor. And for the partygoers among us, there’s always Jakarta and Bali.

Indonesia Highlights

Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park is a beautiful marine sanctuary nearby the island of Flores. This area consists of a number of islands of which Komodo, Rinca and Padar are the most well-known. The name of the park is derived from the infamous and endemic Komodo dragon, these are large lizards that can be found on a few of these islands. Together with a park ranger you can hike these islands in search of these magnificent animals. The Komodo National Park is only accessible by boat from Labuan Bajo and while sailing the waters you’ll have breathtaking views around you. A remarkable phenomenon around the Komodo islands are some of the pink beaches that are created by an abundance of red coral off the coast.

Gili Islands

Palm trees, white sandy beaches and clear turquoise-coloured seas. These words define the idyllic Gili Islands, located off the coast of Lombok. These tropical islands are the ultimate bounty destinations. The first backpackers discovered the Gili's in the 80s, but now these islands are popular with everyone. There is a relaxed atmosphere on these islands and because the islands are free from motorized traffic and ugly concrete tall hotel high rises, they have retained their tropical, serene character. Relaxing is also one of the main reasons why people visit these islands.

Mount Bromo

With an altitude of almost 3000 meters, the Bromo volcano is not the highest in Indonesia, but it is definitely one of the most famous and spectacular ones. Located on the island of Java, the volcano sits in a truly epic landscape. Climbing Mount Bromo is a popular activity, because the surrounding landscape is incredible and the views of the area from the volcano are breathtaking. The best time to visit Mount Bromo is in the middle of the night. Climb the volcano in the dark with views of the stars and galaxy above and wait for the incredible sunrise views. The landscape will be slowly illuminated by the sun and the colours are beautiful. It’s really worth getting up early for these unforgettable views.

Top things to do in Indonesia

Borobudur

The 9th century Borobudur temple is the most famous building in all of Indonesia and the largest Buddhist complex in the world. This huge temple is located on Java and is built from two million blocks of stone and has the shape of a huge stupa (bell-shaped Buddhist structure). The complex consists of nine terraces and is intended to represent the Buddhist view of the cosmos, which starts at the bottom in everyday life and ends at the top in Nirvana. A visit to this ancient structure is very impressive and for the best experience you can even visit the temple during sunrise or sunset. You’ll get the best views and less crowds.

Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat is an untouched tropical paradise. Hundreds of islands are found in this area and they rise out of the water like jungle-covered rocks. The water is crystal clear everywhere. You can see many fish, turtles, sharks, and with a bit luck, manta rays when snorkeling. This area is known as one of the most beautiful underwater areas in the world and it has the largest variety of fish species. Snorkel between the reefs and mangrove forests. And in the forests further in the islands, it is possible to search for the endemic bird life including birds of paradise, cockatoos and parrots. A visit to Papuan villages should also not be missed out on.

Tanjung Puting National Park

There are only a few places on earth where you can come face to face with wild orangutans, and the island of Kalimantan is one of them. The Tanjung Punting National Park is home to more than 6000 wild orangutans, making it the largest population in the world. These great apes are endangered, but here they can still swing to their heart's content through the protected forests. In addition to orangutans, you also have the chance to spot other wildlife, such as crocodiles, hornbills, bears and other species of monkeys. The only way to visit this park is by local boat. You’ll travel up and down the Sekonyer river, looking for animals along the banks. Sleeping in the middle of the rainforest in a boat on a river is an experience you’ll never forget.

Tana Toraja

If you visit Sulawesi during your Indonesia trip, you must be sure to visit Tana Toraja, the "Land of the Divine Kings". As soon as you arrive you will see that this is one the most scenic parts of Sulawesi. This area is located in a mountain and forested landscape and wherever you go you’ll see beautiful rice fields with grazing water buffaloes. Another reason to visit this area is to dive into the unique Toraja culture. They have a unique culture which is expressed through their architecture and ancestor worship. The people are welcoming and you could even join in one of their funeral festivals, which are like celebrations that can last for days.

Gunung Leuser National Park

The Gunung Leuser National Park in North-Sumatra is with its 950,000 hectares one of the largest national parks in Indonesia. Endangered animals such as orangutans, gibbons and a host of other monkey species live in the park. But also different species of bats, Sumatran tigers, leopards, elephants and Sumatran rhinos live here. It is also a birdwatcher's paradise. There are more than three hundred different types of birds. You can do single or multi-day treks through the forest. Overnight stays in the jungle are also possible, where you spend the night in a tent camp by the river. The most common are two or three day treks. During the multi-day treks all you have to do is carry your camera and binoculars and enjoy the scenery.

See you in Indonesia!
