From Java to Bali, explore volcanic islands, spot wild orangutans, and relax on pristine sands - includes breakfast, excursions, transfers and more

With its irresistible allure, the Indonesian archipelago reveals a breathtaking world of misty volcanic peaks, emerald jungles, and pristine coastal shores.

Those opting for longer itineraries will then briefly return to Java to discover the soul-stirring palaces and vibrant batik workshops of Yogyakarta, the island's captivating cultural crown jewel. Finally, your route carries you to the legendary island of Bali, guiding you from the vine-draped bridges and playful macaques of the sacred Ubud Monkey Forest to the soft, curving sands of Nusa Dua.
