Overview

This is not just a holiday — it’s an awakening of the senses across Indonesia’s wild, wondrous terrain. Begin with Bali’s golden shores and sacred dances, then veer east into a realm of fire and ash, where the otherworldly glow of Ijen Crater and the smoking caldera of Mount Bromo steal your breath and still your thoughts. As the skies calm, fly to Lombok, where unspoiled beaches and Gili Island escapes offer barefoot bliss. End in Ubud, where emerald rice paddies, forested temples, and sacred springs cradle you in calm. From volcanic sunrises to spiritual sunsets, this journey rewrites what it means to explore — and to feel.

  • Snorkel in Crystal Waters Around the Gili Islands
  • Unwind on Lombok’s Untamed, Tranquil Beaches
