Indonesia Tour: Java, Borneo, Bali & Lombok

Your journey begins in Jakarta, where you can take a moment to settle in after your flight. The bustling capital is for many just a stopover, yet it offers a first glimpse of Indonesia’s diversity. This is the time to relax, recover from the long journey and build anticipation for the adventures ahead. If you wish, take a short stroll and experience the vibrant rhythm of the city before the tour continues to Java’s cultural treasures.

Yogyakarta is considered the cultural heart of Java. Here you will find two of Indonesia’s most remarkable monuments: the Buddhist Borobudur and the Hindu temple complex of Prambanan. Beyond these spiritual sites, the region is alive with Javanese culture – from traditional crafts and gamelan music to flavorful local cuisine. A visit to the nearby Merapi volcano reveals the powerful forces of nature that shape the island. These days are dedicated to history, culture and authentic encounters.

Located on Java’s north coast, Semarang blends colonial history with modern life. Its old town, with warehouses, temples and small shops, tells stories of past centuries, while local markets and narrow streets give you a glimpse of everyday life away from the tourist paths. The city reflects the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Java. After a night here, your journey continues – the call of Borneo’s rainforest and its orangutans awaits.

Borneo invites you into a world of dense rainforest, winding rivers and unique wildlife. A boat journey takes you through lush vegetation where proboscis monkeys, gibbons and countless bird species thrive. The highlight is meeting orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park – an experience that is both moving and unforgettable. Jungle walks, wildlife encounters and evenings lit by swarms of fireflies along the riverbanks make this stop a true adventure. Borneo reveals Indonesia’s wild side in its purest form.

After the rainforest, Bali greets you with its tropical beaches and cultural charm. Days here are shaped by relaxation at the ocean, visits to sacred sites such as Uluwatu temple perched on dramatic cliffs, and encounters with traditional dance and music. A seafood dinner by the beach in Jimbaran is the perfect way to end the evening. Bali combines spiritual depth with island ease – a place to both unwind and explore.

Surrounded by rice terraces, rivers and villages, Ubud embodies Bali’s creative and spiritual spirit. The town is home to temples, palaces and bustling markets, while local artists and performers keep traditions alive. Beyond the center, adventures await on the Ayung River with white-water rafting or in the countryside of Sidemen, where weaving, farming and cooking are still part of daily life. Ubud invites you to pause, reflect and immerse yourself in a culture where art, spirituality and nature intertwine.

Lombok offers the perfect ending to your Indonesia tour. Here you will find white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and the majestic Mount Rinjani rising in the distance. A boat trip to the Gili Islands reveals colorful coral reefs, turtles and a laid-back island atmosphere. The following days are yours to enjoy at your own pace – whether by the pool, at the beach or while exploring the island’s lush interior. Lombok is the place to unwind, reflect and let your journey sink in.

After several unforgettable weeks, your Indonesia tour comes to an end. Depending on your flight schedule, there may be time for a final swim or walk along the beach before your transfer to the airport. With lasting memories of Java’s temples, Borneo’s wildlife, Bali’s culture and Lombok’s island charm, you head home with experiences that will stay with you for years to come.
