Indonesia Best-Kept Secrets

On this 16-day journey, you will see three distinctly different, fascinating Indonesian islands in one trip: the cultural riches of Java, the distinctive culture of the Toraja on Sulawesi, and the surreal landscapes of Bali. From Jakarta, travel to Sulawesi and immerse yourself in the Toraja people's unique culture of the dead. Returning to Java, you'll visit huge temple complexes and magnificent volcanic scenery. Finally, head to Bali, the "Island of the Gods," to explore holy temples and relax your last days on the dream beaches in the south. We invite you to travel differently and explore Indonesia outside the most popular destinations.
