Top Tip
Must Do
- Bali – The Island of the Gods: Bali is Indonesia’s most famous destination, and for good reason. Known for its lush rice terraces, stunning beaches, and vibrant spiritual culture, Bali is a haven for relaxation and exploration. Visit Ubud, the island’s cultural heart, where art galleries, yoga retreats, and the magical Sacred Monkey Forest await. Explore the majestic temples like Tanah Lot or Uluwatu, perched dramatically on cliffs overlooking the ocean.
- Yogyakarta – A Cultural TreasureL Yogyakarta, or Jogja, is Indonesia’s cultural hub and the gateway to some of its most iconic heritage sites. Explore the awe-inspiring Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple, and the equally majestic Prambanan, a stunning Hindu temple complex.
- Komodo National Park. Home of the Dragons: For wildlife enthusiasts, Komodo National Park is a must-visit. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, a prehistoric creature that can grow up to three metres long.
- Sumatra – Untamed and Unforgettable: Sumatra is Indonesia’s wild and adventurous side, perfect for travellers seeking untouched nature and unique experiences. Visit Bukit Lawang to trek through lush jungles and spot critically endangered orangutans in their natural habitat. Discover the volcanic beauty of Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world, and explore the traditional Batak villages that line its shores.
Top Tips
- Respect Local Customs: Indonesia’s culture varies across its islands, but modesty and respect are valued everywhere. Dress appropriately when visiting temples and religious sites, and always remove your shoes before entering.
- Try the Local Cuisine: Indonesian food is bursting with flavour! Don’t miss dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), satay (grilled meat skewers), and gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce). Each region has its own specialities, so try as much as you can!
- Pack for Diverse Climates: Indonesia’s geography includes everything from tropical beaches to cool mountain regions. Bring lightweight clothes for hot, humid areas and layers for higher altitudes.
- Get Around Smartly: Indonesia’s islands are vast, so flights are often the quickest way to travel between them. For local transport, bemos, scooters, and ferries are fun and affordable ways to get around.
- Plan for Adventure: From diving in the Gili Islands to climbing volcanoes like Mount Bromo or Mount Rinjani, Indonesia is full of activities that will take your breath away. Book guides or tours in advance for the best experience.
Indonesia is a land of endless contrasts – from the calm waters of Bali’s beaches to the rugged wilds of Sumatra, the serene temples of Yogyakarta to the bustling cities like Jakarta. Its rich traditions, incredible biodiversity, and warm, welcoming people make it a place like no other. Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or simply a beautiful place to relax, Indonesia will exceed your expectations.
