Explore seven Indonesian islands with a group of gay travellers and discover the culture and history of Indonesia. We’ll begin at Java and then head to a rustic lodge in Borneo. Here we’ll explore the rainforest and diverse flora and fauna of Borneo – keep an eye out for monkeys. We’ll sail through the rainforest on a Klotok and visit feeding stations for the Orangutangs. Back in Java, we’ll explore Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple.

It’ll then be time to discover Bali. We’ll have lunch overlooking Lake Batur. At Tirta Epul we’ll visit a holy spring and then watch a fire dance at The Chedi Club. From Labuan Bajo we’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.
