Bali
With its iconic beaches, pounding surf, picturesque rice terraces and enclaves of artisans, this small volcanic island charms everyone who sets foot on its shores. As the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia, Bali has more than its share of ornate temples and colorful festivals.
Java
The mountain range stretching the length of the island of Java has a staggering 121 active volcanoes. The fast-paced megacity of Jakarta, Indonesian’s capital, lies in the west. However, rural Java is a place of incredible natural beauty.
Sulawesi
Sulawesi is a hidden wonder which combines stunning high-country scenery with world class diving in pristine waters. Heading inland to Tana Toraja, you come face to face with an ancient culture which dates back to around 30,000 BC. There are over 400 granite megaliths in the region. Elaborate burial ceremonies still take place. These often take several days and include spectacular dances, dramatic ritual chants and the slaughtering of buffaloes. Wakatobi, a marine national park, boasts world-class diving.
