Welcome to big, bold, beautiful Indonesia. These trips are the stuff of legend and worth savouring.
Expansive and deeply rewarding, they’re designed for travellers seeking real variety and who usually have the luxury of time to roam.
Some include time at sea, where travelling by traditional phinisi opens up remote parts of the archipelago. In Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands, spend your days among jungle-covered islands and startlingly blue water, and swim among marine life. Elsewhere, such as Komodo National Park during the summer months, open horizons and striking natural landscapes also feel far away from your everyday. It’s an immersive way to experience the country, defined by space, scale and a sense of freedom.
Others focus further inland for cultural depth and constrast. From Java’s volcanoes and coffee estates to Indonesian Borneo’s tangled jungles and Sulawesi’s mountain villages and animist traditions.

What makes our epic Indonesia holidays different
Epic trips with Experience Travel Group are all about rare access, rather than pure excess.
We focus on experiences that are genuinely hard to unlock and difficult to do well, using long-standing local relationships to make them feel effortless once you’re there.
These journeys are carefully paced and each transition is deliberate, designed so places feel distinctly different and memorable.
The result is an epic journey that feels considered. Big experiences are given space to land, access feels natural rather than forced, and the trip moves with a confident rhythm that keeps things exciting without ever feeling too rushed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Epic Adventures in Indonesia
Experience Travel Group’s epic adventures in Indonesia are ideal for travellers marking a special occasion, something you’ll want to look back on for the rest of your life.
That means honeymooners, those celebrating milestone birthdays, and families seeking deeply memorable, push-the-boat-out holidays.
Endlessly. Each trip is shaped around you and your travel companions. Our specialists weave in thoughtful moments that reflect what excites you most, whether that means dialling up the adventure, prioritising privacy, or slowing the pace to savour the experience.
Not at all. Most travellers come to us with a sense of the kind of adventure they’re after, rather than a fixed plan.
In many cases, it’s only once we talk things through that the shape of the trip and even the destinations themselves become clear.
Our specialists start with what milestone you’re celenrating and what thrills you most, whether that’s time at sea, wildlife, or dramatic landscapes. From there, we suggest the places that make the most sense together, focusing on access, timing and flow rather than ticking locations off a list.
We’re very selective. On our epic adventures, where you stay and the boat you sail on aren’t just places to sleep, they set the tone for the whole trip, so it really matters.
We go for hotels with a real sense of place and boats that are well-run and genuinely comfortable. With phinisi sailings, that means small guest numbers, experienced crews, and routes that favour quiet anchorages and flexibility over strict schedules.
On land, we favour places that bring atmosphere and calm, without feeling overdone or out of place. Some are among the best stays in Asia, like Amanjiwo, where the setting, design, and service truly lift your entire experience. Others are more understated but still full of character, chosen for how closely they connect you to the everyday fabric of the destination.
Everything we recommend has been tried, tested, and picked because it adds something special to the journey, not just because it looks good on paper.
