We begin on the famed island of Java, and start our tour in the historic capital of Yogyakarta, the cultural center of Java. On a series of day trips, we shall explore temples and sites including Borobudur - the world's largest Buddhist temple and largest ancient monument in the Southern Hemisphere. We take the train to Surabaya and head south to Mount Bromo where we will watch the magnificent sunrise on the volcano, with an optional hike to the rim.

We continue to the exotic island of Bali, where we will divide our time between the artistic and cultural center of Ubud, and the beachside towns of Permuteran and Candidasa. While in Northern Bali, explore seldom visited Bali Barat National Park (particularly good for those interested in birdlife), or join a trip to Menjangan Island, with its spectacular snorkeling and swimming. Take traditional fishing boats to a white sand beach with crystal blue water for swimming.

Fly to Labuan Bajo, Flores, our base to see Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizard. We journey to Rinca and Komodo Islands by overnight boat, allowing us a magical experience where you can swim, snorkel or simply relax in nature, overnighting in a stunning sheltered bay instead of returning to the city! We also journey to the fascinating Manggarai, who perform the enthralling caci dance. We fly back to Bali for our farewell dinner and departure.
