INDONESIA
“Wonderful Indonesia”
An intoxicating land of seemingly endless exploration, Indonesia’s islands have something for everyone, whether you’re a thrill-seeker, culture connoisseur or nature lover. The scenery is gorgeous with a stunningly beautiful archipelago and an amazing array of differing holiday experiences. To name a few of the well-known islands, we have the ever-popular Bali, the even prettier Lombok, volcano-covered Java and the horse-filled grasslands of Sumba. Lesser-known islands such as Sulawesi and Raja Ampat offer some of the best diving and snorkelling spots, while you’ll feel on the edge of the world exploring the Maluku Islands. Of course, with over 17,000 islands, we simply can’t list them all here, but our knowledge is extensive if you’d like to call us for a chat.
Beaches
Picture white sandy vistas fringed by coconut trees, endless emerald ocean views, skies on fire at sunset and hammocks swaying gently on the tropical breeze. Indonesia boasts some of the world’s best beaches. With so many superb dive sites, surf spots, water sports and seaside resorts to choose from, Indonesia is a beach comber’s nirvana.
Wildlife
Home to orangutans, komodo dragons, birds of paradise, the Sumatran tiger and the Javanese Rhino. And that’s just on the land. Venturing out into the open oceans opens up a whole universe of dazzling corals and a uniquely varied proliferation of marine life.
Centuries Old Tradition and Cultures
Indonesia is bursting with artistic traditions, carrying age-old customs through the generations and onto the modern stage. Check out a Wayang puppet show for a timeless story of Javanese mythology. Listen to the exquisite and complex symphony of a gamelan orchestra in full flow. Visitors can still see Barong spirit dances in Balinese temples.

Best Time To Visit Indonesia
Indonesia is a fine example of a tropical country, and it mainly has just two seasons – the dry season and the wet season. As you move inland and climb higher, the temperature drops and it gets cooler.
July, August and December are known as Peak seasons whereas May, June and September are known as Shoulder seasons. The low season is between January to April also known as the wet season. But if you prefer to have less touristy time and can handle some rain then off-season offers a great value.
