Weather
Indonesia is split by the equator, resulting in a warm, tropical climate all year round. The best time of year to visit Indonesia is between May and September when the days are dry and sunny. However, during the wet season temperatures are still high, and rain only lasts for a couple of hours, and certainly won’t spoil your trip.

Formed mostly as the result of volcanic events, Java is the 13th largest island in the world and the fifth largest of Indonesia. A chain of volcanic mountains form an east-west spine along the island. Java is rich in art and culture which are intertwined with religion and age-old traditions from the time of early migrants with Western thoughts brought by Portuguese traders and Dutch colonists. Located some 4 hours drive from Surabaya, the capital of east Java, lies the famous Mount Bromo. Highlight of the island is the largest Buddhist temple in the world – Borobudur. Today the complex is the most visited tourist attraction in Indonesia.

Sumatra
The second largest island in Indonesia with a remarkable panorama, virgin forests, lush vegetation, rivers, beautiful waterfalls, peaceful sandy beaches and large ancient lakes. The island offers a vast diversity of arts, people and culture. In North Sumatra, Lake Toba is one of the awesome natural Wonders of the World. This is a crater lake so enormous it has an island almost the size of Singapore in its center. It’s hard to imagine a more scenic place to come and enjoy hiking, swimming and sailing although once you arrive it might be difficult to resist the anesthetizing effects of the lake. The cool, clear water coupled with the relaxed atmosphere and friendly people is what draws visitors from all over the world to Toba.

West Papua
To experience West Papua is to discover one of the most mysterious and unknown areas of the world. This far-away island is home to the most ethnologically primitive cultures on Earth. You will find a vast display of tribes and tribal customs as well as a large variety of languages. The most important tribes are the Amungme, the Asmat, the Bauzi, the Dani, the Korowais and the Kombai.

Gili Islands
Three islands (Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan and Gili Air) just off the northwest coast of Lombok. Crystal clear water, white sandy beaches and diversity and abundance of marine life make the Gili’s a vision of true paradise. While Gili Meno is a secluded island paradise with less accommodation and a more relaxed atmosphere, Gili Trawangan is considered the “party island” with many restaurants and bars on one and a more relaxing part on the other side. Closest to the mainland lies Gili Air which is home to a big local population – a great island for families.
