This 15-day tour of a lifetime will take you through the incredible natural wonders of Indonesia, from dramatic cliffs to pristine ocean waters.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS 

Yogyakarta: This city ranks as one of the best-preserved and most attractive in Java, with its ‘Kraton’ (the Sultan's Palace), the centre of Yogya's traditional life.

Prambanan: The breathtaking temples at Prambanan date back to the ninth century.

Bromo: At its heart is a vast, ancient volcanic crater with sheer walls over 300m high, famous for its magnificent sunrise views and the panorama over the caldera with Semeru volcano in the background.

Kalibaru: This inland town is a haven for plantations, including coffee, rubber and cacao.

Ubud: Known as the arts and crafts centre of the island, tradition is particularly important here and temple festivals happen almost daily.

Komodo Island: Now a nature reserve, the island is home to a number of rare bird species, deer and wild pigs, which are prey to the famous Komodo dragons.

Labuan Bajo: Blessed with beautiful and idyllic natural scenery - including beaches and offshore islands - Labuan Bajo is a slice of paradise on earth.
