Tour · 15 nights · with Travelsphere
A 15-night escorted tour by Travelsphere following Java’s cultural heartlands to Komodo dragons and Bali’s temples, combining scenic train journeys with wildlife and waterfalls across Indonesia’s diverse islands.
Highlights
Borobudur Temple with 504 Buddha statues and ancient reliefs
Komodo dragons spotting on Komodo and Rinca islands
Scenic train journeys across Java’s volcanic landscapes
Sunrise over Mount Bromo’s volcanic desert
Snorkelling at Pink Beach and Manta Point
Travelsphere’s escorted tour through Indonesia spends its first week moving inland across Java, from Jakarta’s Dutch colonial history to the royal palaces of Yogyakarta. Highlights include climbing the ancient stone steps of Borobudur temple and watching Hindu spires of Prambanan rise skyward. Two train journeys cut through rice paddies and volcanic peaks, offering a chance to watch rural life unfold slowly outside the window.
Journeys
After a sunrise at Mount Bromo, the route shifts east to Flores, the gateway to Komodo National Park. Here, the programme blends hikes with wildlife-spotting walks led by expert rangers searching for Komodo dragons and a snorkel trip to coral-tinged pink beaches. Nearby, a short trek brings a refreshing stop at Cunca Plias Waterfall, while Labuan Bajo’s markets and Mirror Cave add local flavour.
The final days bring a short flight to Bali, with time for a local project visit and a free afternoon to make your own discoveries. The one clear rule: leave space in your suitcase for fragrant frangipani and souvenirs neither hurried nor heavy-handed.
