Indonesia Tour Packages

Beyond famous Bali, Indonesia offers the grand temples of Borobudur and Prambanan on Java, sunrise volcano treks at Bromo and Ijen, the dragons and pink beaches of Komodo, and superb diving across the archipelago.

A few practical notes make any Indonesia trip smoother. The currency is the Indonesian rupiah (IDR), and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), with English spoken in tourist areas. Domestic flights are essential for hopping between islands, with private drivers and boats handling local touring. Pack for the season and carry a little local cash for markets, tips and small vendors.

Indonesia stretches across the equator between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, a chain of volcanic islands including Java, Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Lombok and the Komodo group. It sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, hence its dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Indonesia is tropical and warm year-round, with a wetter and a drier season rather than distinct hot and cold ones.

The best time to visit most of Indonesia, including Java and Bali, is the dry season from April to October. The wet season, November to March, brings heavier rain but greener scenery and lower prices, with showers often confined to the afternoon.

Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim-majority nation, yet it holds a mosaic of cultures — Hindu Bali, the Buddhist and Hindu temples of Java, and hundreds of distinct ethnic traditions. The result is one of Asia's most culturally fascinating destinations.

Indonesian food is rich and varied, from the fragrant rendang of Sumatra to street-side satay and the ubiquitous nasi goreng.

Dishes to seek out: nasi goreng, satay, rendang, gado-gado, soto, nasi campur. On our tours we are happy to steer you toward the best local food and to cater for any dietary needs — just let us know in advance.

Bali's Hindu festivals, including the silent day of Nyepi, are extraordinary, while Islamic celebrations such as Eid shape the national calendar and countless local ceremonies fill the islands year-round.

Many nationalities receive a visa on arrival or an e-VOA for a 30-day stay; a separate tourist levy applies in Bali. Visa rules vary by nationality and change from time to time, so always confirm the current requirement for your own passport before booking. If you travel with us, we will guide you through exactly what you need.

A little courtesy goes a long way in Indonesia. Dress modestly away from beach resorts and at temples, use your right hand, and observe local ceremonies respectfully — especially during Bali's temple festivals.

Do dress respectfully at religious and cultural sites, ask before photographing people, carry small change for tips and markets, and stay hydrated. Don't drink tap water unless it is confirmed safe, flash valuables in crowded areas, or rush — the best trips here are unhurried ones.
