Why Indonesia

Why Visit Indonesia?

Five reasons this one country feels like many countries in a single trip.

  • Diverse nature and landscapes

    Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire. From the craters of Bromo and Ijen to the Lake Toba caldera and the highland valleys of Papua, the landscape changes dramatically with a single flight.

  • Thousands of islands and rich marine life

    The world's largest archipelago is home to the reefs of Raja Ampat, Wakatobi, and Bunaken, among the planet's centres of marine biodiversity.

  • Culture, traditions, and hospitality

    Hundreds of ethnic groups keep their languages, weaving, traditional houses, dances, and ceremonies alive. Many villages warmly welcome guests who respect local customs.

  • A different cuisine in every region

    Rendang in Padang, gudeg in Yogyakarta, coto in Makassar, papeda in Maluku: every region has flavours and cooking methods you won't find anywhere else.

  • A different experience in every region

    Hike a volcano in Java, dive in eastern Indonesia, cruise a river in Kalimantan, or attend a traditional ceremony: one country, many kinds of trips.

Sumatra

Ancient lakes, rainforest, and cultures from Malay to Minang

The sixth-largest island in the world stretches from Sabang at the far western tip to the Sunda Strait. Sumatra holds Lake Toba, a giant volcanic caldera and the homeland of the Batak people, rainforests where orangutans and tigers still live, and traces of the Malay, Srivijaya, and Minangkabau kingdoms.

Java

Volcanoes, temples, and the cultural heart of the archipelago

Though only a small part of Indonesia's land area, Java is home to most of its people and full of historic landmarks: Borobudur and Prambanan, the Yogyakarta palace, and hundreds of volcanoes. From the Bromo caldera to the blue crater of Ijen, travel in Java is easy to organise and wonderfully varied.

Bali and Nusa Tenggara

The Island of the Gods, savannas, and the Komodo dragon islands

The chain of islands from Bali to East Nusa Tenggara offers sharp contrasts: terraced rice fields and temples in Bali, Mount Rinjani and the Gilis in Lombok, savannas and horses in Sumba, and Komodo dragons in Labuan Bajo. Traditional life is still strongly felt in villages such as Wae Rebo.

The spice islands that once changed the world

Cloves and nutmeg from Maluku were once worth more than gold, drawing Europeans to sail thousands of kilometres. Traces of that history remain in Fort Belgica on Banda, the sultan's palaces of Ternate and Tidore, and the clear waters that attract divers.

The far east, with majestic seas and mountains

The six provinces of Papua hold some of the greatest biodiversity on the planet. From the reefs of Raja Ampat and Lake Sentani to the Baliem Valley, home of the Dani people, most places can only be reached by plane or boat, so trips take careful planning, but they reward you with truly unique experiences.

Culture and Uniqueness of the Archipelago

Indonesia is home to hundreds of ethnic groups, each with its own language, beliefs, and arts. Several cultural treasures are recognised by UNESCO, including batik, wayang, and the Saman dance.

  • Traditional houses

    Minangkabau rumah gadang, Torajan tongkonan, mbaru niang in Wae Rebo, and honai in Papua: each house reflects the way of life and beliefs of its people.

  • Clothing and weaving

    From Javanese batik and Batak ulos to Sumba ikat weaving, each textile is made with techniques and motifs that carry traditional meaning.

  • Performing arts

    Kecak in Bali, reog in Ponorogo, the Saman dance of Aceh, and Javanese shadow puppetry are performed at ceremonies and for visitors alike.

  • Traditions and everyday life

    Floating markets in Kalimantan, the Baduy traditional village, and the sandeq boats of the Mandar show how tradition lives on alongside modern life.
