Bali Explorer
Explore the beach-fringed island of Bali taking in its culture and natural beauty beyond the well-trodden path.
Across the 17,000 islands of Indonesia, you can scale volcanoes and walk with dragons, tiptoe in temples and eat with local families; you can snorkel, sail, trek, dive and discover more than you thought possible. Our Indonesia experiences reflect this remarkable variety and promise to reveal the fabric of the destination.
IT'S ALL ABOUTTHE EXPERIENCE
It’s impossible to sum up experiences in Indonesia because they are just so diverse. In Bali, you could explore the distinctive Hindu heritage; in Java, you could go from volcano-viewing to beach-hopping; in Sulawesi, you could witness an unforgettable Torajan funeral. Each island has its very own spirit and appeal.
Wherever you choose to go, we aim to take travellers an inch off the map and reveal what makes the archipelago so fantastic. For example, while many tourists to Bali remain around Ubud and the beach, we also like to show the inland magic: the verdant paddy fields, the hidden hotels, the evocative temples known only to locals. Our Indonesia travel specialists know the country inside out, and craft tours and excursions that bring their passion to life.
Beyond things to do in Indonesia, your holiday experience lasts from the minute you start planning your trip until you return safely home. Anticipation and reflection are key parts of the journey, and we seek to maximise them.
