Here you’ll explore the rainforest and diverse flora and fauna of Borneo – keep an eye out for monkeys. You’ll sail through the rainforest on a Klotok and visit feeding stations for the Orangutans. Back in Java, you’ll explore Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple.

It’ll then be time to discover Bali. You’ll have lunch overlooking Lake Batur. At Tirta Epul you’ll visit a holy spring and then watch a fire dance at The Chedi Club. From Labuan Bajo you’ll sail to Seraya Island and take a speedboat over to Pink Beach. You’ll even get the chance to see the Komodo Dragons of Rinca Island. This will be the adventure of a lifetime.

From the ancient temples of Java to the lush rainforests of Borneo, and the tranquil shores of Bali to the legendary Komodo Dragons of Rinca Island, each destination will leave you in awe. As your journey through the captivating Indonesian islands draws to a close, you’ll bid farewell to this remarkable adventure, with cherished memories and newfound friendships in tow.
