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...

Candidasa is a beach town on Bali's eastern coast that sits on the edge of a freshwater lagoon known as Candi Dasa Lagoon.

It is a popular tourist destination, drawing divers and those seeking a more relaxed alternative to the crowded, nightclub-filled Kuta region or the huge, groomed resorts of Nusa Dua.

Menjangan Island, surrounded by pristine white sand beaches, breathtaking coral reefs, and an enthralling undersea world, epitomizes the essence of natural beauty. Part of the West Bali National Park Conservation Area, the little island of Menjangan is situated around 10 kilometers northwest of Bali's mainland. The island is encircled by a coral reef that features intricate rock formations and dramatic drop-offs that reach about 60 meters. These unique characteristics have led to the formation of numerous big and tiny caverns, many of which are festooned with sponge and soft corals. It is typical to spot tuna, batfish, angelfish, shoals of jackfish, sea turtles, and occasionally sharks, especially off the outside corners of the island, due to the depth, moderate current flow, and protection from high winds.
