Jakarta Tours

Large volcanic island Samosir, also known as Samosir Island, is situated in Lake Toba in the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Six of the nine districts that make up Samosir Regency are responsible for overseeing Samosir Island administratively. Approximately 75,000 years ago, a supervolcano erupted, creating the lake and island. The island was formerly a peninsula that was joined to the surrounding caldera wall by a narrow isthmus. To facilitate shipping, the Tano Ponggol Canal was built in 1907. Samosir is the biggest island inside an island and the sixth largest lake island in the world, covering 630 square kilometers (243 sq mi). Lake Sidihoni and Lake Aek Natonang, two of its smaller lakes, are also present. To the east, across the lake lies Uluan Peninsula. A small isthmus that connects the towns of Pangururan on Samosir and Tele on the mainland of Sumatra connects the western portion of the island to the mainland. As a result, Tele provides one of the best views of Samosir Island and Lake Toba.

Bali, the famed Island of the Gods, is the most visited part of Indonesia. Its diverse landscape of mountainous terrain, rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides provide a picturesque backdrop to its unique colourful and spiritual culture. Home to world-class surfing and diving sites, and a large number of cultural, historical, and archaeological attractions, Bali is one of the world's most popular island destinations which consistently wins travel awards. While most of Indonesia is Muslim, Bali is unique in that most of its local people are Hindu. Hinduism was the dominant religion in the country before the arrival of Islam and is one of the six official religions of Indonesia today. Nevertheless, Hinduism in Bali is not quite the same as Hinduism in India and other parts of the world, shown in the differences of the architecture of Bali's temples. Hinduism came to Indonesia in the 1st-century through Indian traders, sailors, scholars and priests. A syncretic fusion of pre-existing Javanese folk religion, culture and Hindu ideas, that from the 6th-century also synthesized Buddhist ideas as well, evolved as the Indonesian version of Hinduism. Bali is part of the Coral Triangle, the area with the highest biodiversity of marine species, especially fish and turtles. In this area alone, over 500 reef-building coral species can be found which is about seven times as large as in the entire Caribbean. Surrounded by reefs, wrecks, and coral gardens, Bali is a pure heaven for underwater explorers with snorkeling and diving activities. The best snorkeling beaches are on the East, Northeast and West side of the island such as Padang Bai, Tulamben, Amend... In these areas, the sea is calm and there are vibrant coral reefs close to the shore in shallow water offering perfect conditions to explore the underwater world. 

Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands. It lies between the substantially larger neighboring islands Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east. Komodo and the nearby islands of Rinca and Padar make up Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Komodo dragon. It also boasts crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant coral reefs, exotic marine life like manta rays, and mesmerizing underwater vistas. Stunning pink beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking viewpoints create a complete picture of one of the best-untouched treasures of Indonesia. Home to the legendary creatures, Komodo has about 2,500 fairly ferocious dragons which live alongside wild boar, buffalo and deer. This kind of the world’s largest lizard can grow up to 3m long and weigh over 70kg found only in the wild in Komodo National Park (mainly in Rinca and Komodo islands). This makes of the park a unique and special place to visit. You can take guided tours to see these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat, either on foot or on a boat tour. Apart from exploring the wild life, scuba diving and snorkelling in the park waters are among Indonesia’s best. There are 260 species of reef-building corals, sheer-drop walls and around 1,000 species of fish and marine mammals, including manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins and whales. The waters in the south are cooler than those to the north, creating an ideal habitat for corals and reef fish, while to the north, rich plankton and nutrients attract a wide variety of temperate marine life. For snorkeling lovers, Pantai Merah (Red Beach) offers butterfly, parrot and triggerfish, giant clams and colourful corals at close range. The gorgeous beach is pink due to an abundance of red coral in the region.

Locals often use speedboats and motorized boats to go to and from each of the Gilis.

Flores means “flowers” named by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century. For this reason, Flores is the only major island in Indonesia where Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion. Nevertheless, there is an existence of a unique mix of traditional beliefs with Catholicism, evidenced by churches sit alongside megalithic stones, ancestral shrines and houses crowned with buffalo horns. For example, in Ngada communities for instance, if a person dies prematurely or unexpectedly then it is believed to be the result of evil spirits that must be chased out. So while the deceased might receive a Catholic burial service, the village ancestors must also be appeased with a ritual animal sacrifice. Flores' rugged topography is formed by a chain of volcanoes featuring a landscape punctuated by volcanic cones, its coastal waters fringed with nature reserves and a marine park. The most famous attraction in Flores is undoubtedly the Mount Kelimutu, distinctive with its trio of crater lakes at the summit. Each lake stands out from the others, too, tinted by differing levels of minerals and oxidisation, and changes shade throughout the year. Apart from its natural wonders, Flores is also home to a diverse range of ethnic groups, each has its own distinct traditions, languages, and crafts. Visit traditional villages like Bena, Wae Rebo, and Ruteng Pu’u to witness the authentic way of living of the local communities. These villages offer a glimpse into the traditional houses adorned with intricate carvings, traditional ceremonies, weaving demonstrations, and the opportunity to engage in conversations with the villagers.

Moni is a small village on the Indonesian island of Flores, Nusa Tenggara, near the volcanic Mount Kelimutu. It also serves as a suitable location for visiting the volcano's colored lakes. Mount Kelimutu National Park is the primary attraction. Beautiful at sunrise, the three mineral lakes at the summit (in the craters) change colors with the shifting light of the morning. The waters' colors may shift altogether. Go later in the day to view the stunning lake colors in daylight.

Bandung is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia. According to 2015 estimates, it is Indonesia's fourth most populated city after Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bekasi, with about 2.5 million people. Greater Bandung is the country's second-largest metropolitan region, with about 8.5 million people. Bandung, located 768 metres (2,520 feet) above sea level and about 140 kilometers (87 miles) southeast of Jakarta, enjoys milder year-round temperatures than most other Indonesian cities. The city is located in a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains, which offers a natural defense system. This was the fundamental rationale for the Dutch East Indies government's decision to relocate the capital from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) to Bandung.
