Sights & Attractions
Beaches in Bali
If you’re dreaming of a postcard-perfect beach with palm trees, snow-white sand and turquoise sea, you’ll find it on a tour of Bali. Kuta is one of the most popular beaches where you can combine sunbathing with surfing. Sanur is known for including more culture and a lot of water sports.
Borobudur
The ancient temple is one of the most famous landmarks in Indonesia. The temple was forgotten for centuries when the majority of the population moved to East Java due to a volcanic eruption. We recommend visiting the temple at sunrise to experience a climb to the top of the temple, where you will have a breathtaking view of the entire temple bathed in sunlight.
Gili Islands
The Gili Islands have become popular in recent years for tourists and backpackers. The beaches of the Gili Islands can almost rival those of Bali, and the Gili Islands are also great for snorkeling and diving. There is an underwater museum of statues that you can see just by snorkeling.
You have the opportunity to dive at a turtle sanctuary and can visit the sanctuary afterwards to see how they look after the turtles. The Gili Islands are also ideal if you’re looking for relaxation, as you’ll find many yoga retreats. A great place to gear down on your Asia tour.

Komodo Islands
Here you have the opportunity to experience the dragon–like Komodo dragons that live on the island. They attack their prey with a single venomous bite and wait for their prey to slowly die.
On Komodo Island you can snorkel, kayak, visit the small villages or experience Pink Beach where the sand is pink. You must arrive by boat to the island and pay an entrance fee to the island, as well as various costs for transportation, guide and other activities.
Mount Bromo
Indonesia covers the Ring of Fire, an area with some of the most active volcanoes in the world. Mount Bromo is best known for its stunning views, but also because the summit was blasted off during an eruption.
Kalimantan, Borneo
In Borneo, you can experience wild nature in the form of the wild jungle of Borneo. Here you have the opportunity to go hiking in the jungle and experience the wild animals that live here, including orangutans, snow leopards and Malayan bears.
Lake Toba
The lake was formed around 70,000 years ago and is believed to have been created as a result of a volcanic eruption, as volcanic activity is still being measured, resulting in several islands emerging from the water. You can swim, water ski, kayak, fish or simply hike in the area.
Mount Krakatau
In 1883, the volcano erupted, resulting in the largest volcanic eruption in world history. The eruption resulted in Anak Krakatau, an island that was formed after the 1883 eruption and appeared above the surface in 1930. Anak Krakatau continues to spew smoke and fire, and tourists can experience the volcano and see the mighty forces at work beneath Indonesia.
Raja Ampat
Above the water, hundreds of small green cone-shaped islands stand out against the turquoise and blue sea. Colorful fish and other sea creatures thrive in the warm water. The coral reefs are some of the most beautiful in the area and are a diver’s paradise on a tour of Asia.
The Banda Islands
This small archipelago is a hidden gem in Indonesia. The archipelago is a paradise for divers as there is a chance to see tails, turtles, whales, dragonfish, lobsters and much more.
Rice terraces in Bali
While the postcard-perfect beaches are the highlight of Bali, it’s also known for its beautiful rice terraces. The rice terraces are an example of the wealth of natural resources in Bali that are nurtured and maintained by the locals.
