Here at ETG, many of us have experienced the joy of exploring Indonesia with our own families. We can confidently say that it’s a great destination for all ages and guarantees a tropical holiday of a lifetime. You’ll enjoy a fabulous fusion of up-tempo adventures and dedicated 'chill time'.
THE BEST TIMES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA
Luckily, the school summer holidays are a glorious time to visit Indonesia. The weather is at its best, so do plan ahead if you’d like to get your hands on your top choices of family-friendly hotels and villas.
We’ll always make sure you dodge the crowds but if you’d like to explore the most popular islands like Bali and Java outside of peak season, consider going in May, June or September.
Christmas is the prime time to visit the far-flung gem of Raja Ampat, when the sea is calm and clear – perfect for spectacular snorkelling that's sure to blow your teen's expectations out the water (literally).

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA
In our eyes, the best destinations in Indonesia for families are:
The cascading countryside around Ubud, where the real magic of Bali lies – far from the maddening crowd on the coast. You'll have loads of fun like dashing through the dramatic landscape by bike and setting off on a spiritual walk led by a Balinese Brahmin, before refuelling with a fragrant, home-cooked feast.
Lombok for beautiful, balmy beaches you’re likely to have all to yourselves and views of the volcanoes opposite.
Komodo National Park or Raja Ampat for an off-grid sailing extravaganza.
And Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) for a proper adventure with weird and wonderful wildlife to boot.
Indonesia has an almost infinite amount of places to explore, most of which are fab for families. Our specialists will make recommendations depending on your tastes, your terms and your timescale. Chat with our trusty travel team today to get their top tips.
