Savor food in Jakarta

Jakarta is one of the best food cities in the world, combining Sundanese, Balinese, Javanese and many other cuisines in one place. The food scene in Jakarta is always vibrant as you move from a restaurant to a street stall, wandering through an endless array of street food options.

And local street food is not only delicious, it’s also cheap!

Snorkel in coral triangle

The 17,000 islands of Indonesia are located in the southwestern corner of the “biological triangle” of coral that extends across southeast Asia. With the looming climate change, you will want to dive into these waters as soon as possible: every dive destination reveals a unique undersea paradise that opens with flora and fauna!

Ride the waves in Bali and East Java

Among Indonesia’s 95,000 km coast, a few hundred km is one of the world’s best surfing destinations.

The beaches of Bali remain a favorite destination for contestants who come during the surf season between April and October to benefit from beach breaks in southern Bali, and from the presence of specialized schools to teach water skiing.

Beyond Bali, hikers also go to Nusa Lembongan and Mentawai in West Sumatra and Banyuwangi in East Java to find breaks away from the noise.

Relax in the Gili Islands

Gili Islands in eastern Bali can be reached by boat from Lombok or Bali, and Gili Trawangan is the main gateway to the aforementioned group of islands. The island road is adjacent to white sand beaches, and is surrounded by restaurants and boats that take you to other tourist attractions in Gili.

Carrots prohibit motorized vehicles, so in order to roam you have to rent a bicycle or horse-drawn carriage, to travel between areas.

Learn about Javanese culture in Yogyakarta

Home to the last Sultan in Indonesia, Yogyakarta retains the decorations of the major Javanese culture that once dominated Java.

Sultan Palace – Kraton – is still the living core of Yogyakarta, surrounded by a royal neighborhood that includes a beautiful palace and Malioboro shopping district.

You can also visit Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex not far from the city and dating back to the ninth century AD.
