Reasons To
Visit Indonesia

  • Volcanos

    Heading up Krakatau is like trekking over Mars and as the guides tell you once you get half way: "No further or our boots melt". The basic nature of camping out on the island is outshone by the fact you will probably be the only people staying overnight and will be sleeping just metres from the ocean in the shadow of a volcano. A beautiful coral reef around one side of the island offers excellent snorkelling and the views over to the peak of the smoking Anak Krakatau are superb.

  • Beaches

    The most obvious choice for a beach destination in Indonesia would be the island of Bali. Places like Seminyak, Sanur and Jimbiran are idyllic retreats.

  • History & culture

    Indonesia is scattered with many temples and ancient monuments. Perhaps the most famous is the vast pyramidal structure of Borobudur, considered to be one of Southeast Asia’s greatest religious relics. Hundreds of Buddha images stare impassively out over the plains and the detailed galleries and terraces that lead up to its central stupa tell tales of ancient gods and battles.

  • Weather

    There is never really a 'bad' time to go to Indonesia and the weather is good during the British summer months unlike many other Southeast Asian destinations. Even during the wet season, the rain won't dampen the enjoyment of your holiday as it falls in short downpours and it means that the scenery around you will be lush and colourful.

  • Wildlife

    Indonesia is home to some incredible wildlife and the national parks in Kalimantan and Sumatra are some of the best places to see it. Trek through jungles, rivers and waterfalls on foot or by elephant to discover the wonders of nature from the orang-utan to the world's largest flower.

Visit Sumatra, Indonesia

Sumatra is one of four places in the world where orang-utans can still be found living in their natural habitat. A great place to see them really close-up is the Bohorok Rehabilitation Centre.

Sumatra

Indonesia

Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world though Audley concentrate only on the north where the main highlights are found.

The continuous mountain of Bukit Barisan, which extends from Aceh at the tip of Sumatra to Lampung at the bottom of the island, guards the province on the west side, providing a home for thick, tropical jungles and lush vegetation.

Mountain streams, raging rivers and the abundance of wildlife has made northern Sumatra a popular destination for intrepid nature lovers.

The most famous residents on the island are of course orang-utan and the northern jungles are some of the last places in the world where it is possible to see them in the wild.
