Featured destinations
Standalone deep-dives on Indonesia’s most distinctive non-Bali destinations: Komodo & Flores, Lombok & the Gilis, Raja Ampat, Bukit Lawang and more. Each is a serious destination worth a trip in itself.
Komodo & Flores — Dragons, Diving, and the Eastern Islands
Komodo National Park and the surrounding Flores region are Indonesia's most iconic eastern destination — home to the famous dragons, world-class diving, the pink-sand beach, and the cultural depth of Flores's traditional villages.
Lombok & the Gili Islands — Bali's Quieter Alternative
Lombok is Bali's neighbour to the east, with the famous Gili Islands offshore, the dramatic Mount Rinjani, and beaches that often surpass Bali's. The major Indonesian beach destination after Bali.
Raja Ampat — The World's Best Diving
Raja Ampat off Indonesia's Bird's Head Peninsula in Papua is consistently ranked among the world's premier diving destinations, with the highest marine biodiversity ever documented. Logistically demanding, expensive, and transformative.
Bukit Lawang & Sumatra Orangutans — The Wild Encounter
Bukit Lawang in North Sumatra is one of the world's premier locations to see Sumatran orangutans in the wild. The Gunung Leuser National Park surrounds it, and trekking through the rainforest with experienced guides offers some of Indonesia's most memorable wildlife encounters.
