Places to visit in Indonesia

The islands of Indonesia sweep across the Indian Ocean from the rainforests of Sumatra in the west to the rarely visited tribal enclave of Sumba to the east. In-between, there are thousands of islands that celebrate an array of beliefs and traditions. Our Indonesia specialists can help you pick the best places to visit within the archipelago to create an itinerary especially suited to your interests.

For wildlife viewing, there’s Tanjung Puting National Park, a refuge for orangutans, and Komodo Island with its namesake giant lizards. Active visitors can hike to the crater’s edge of a volcano on Java or snorkel through the coral gardens of the trio of Gili Islands. Bali is the most popular beach destination, but Lombok and Sanur offer quieter, better stretches of sand.
