Indonesia

Wild islands, ancient wonders and dragons (yes really)

Bali, Indonesia

Indonesia: one country, a thousand adventures

Indonesia is an archipelago of wild beauty and thrilling contrasts, where adventure awaits across thousands of islands.

From up-close wildlife encounters to jaw-dropping volcanic hikes, this is a destination made for explorers. Walk among Komodo dragons in Komodo National Park (yes, they’re as massive as they sound), climb Java’s famous Gunung Bromo for a sunrise you’ll never forget, or witness the otherworldly blue flames of Kawah Ijen after dark.

On Sumba, time slows down among megalithic tombstones and the colourful chaos of the traditional Pasola Festival. For divers, Raja Ampat is the holy grail – with whale sharks, manta rays and coral reefs straight out of a dream.

Prefer a gentler pace? Unwind at serene Danau Toba – the world’s largest crater lake – and soak up the warm hospitality of the Batak people.

With dramatic landscapes, rich culture and endless possibilities, Indonesia is an explorer’s dream come true.

Let’s make it happen – chat to our Indonesia specialists and start planning today.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Indonesia is around 14 hours with a stopover. But we promise you it's worth it.

Calendar Icon

Best time to go

Indonesia is a year-round destination, but for the best weather, visit during the dry season from April to October. Shoulder seasons (March–June, September–November) offer smaller crowds.

Time difference

Indonesia is 4–6 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in NZ and regional variation across the country.

I am passionate about sustainable travel for the future. 

My entire career of 30 years has been in travel sales and tourism. I have travelled overseas more than a hundred times to over 70 countries and 6 continents for personal holidays, business and leisure.

I've made my home in London, Dorset, Chamonix and Auckland. I settled back in my home town of Christchurch after being away for five years. 

I love travel and how it enriches lives and provides a livelihood for people and communities around the globe. I love helping to inspire and inform clients, who care about the impact their choices have on local communities and the environment, and who want to have a great holiday. 

Sustainable doesn't mean you can't have luxury! My personal holidays always have a sense of adventure, you will find me on a beach or mountain or taking in a cultural experience to make the most of a destination. 

I personally rate train travel one of the best ways to casually explore, there's nothing I love more than checking in at a downtown railway station off to a new destination. I think travel provides new perspectives and respect for different cultures and values are par for the course. We can always find common ground when we are prepared to go out of our comfort zone. 

Why book your travel with me? I am a CLIA certified Cruise Master and dedicated to helping you with your travel plans. I have the tools and the networks available to assist with all styles of travel experiences you may be looking for.

My passion for travel begun when living in London. I was constantly booking getaways to explore all UK and Europe have to offer and I have not stopped exploring since!

Coming home, I have been privileged to take many long breaks to explore different parts of the world. - Some highlights include USA and Tahiti. 

Now having a family, I see travel in different light and really enjoy slowing down and embracing every moment. 

Travel is for everyone; the world has so much to offer!

I joined the travel industry just over 6 years ago and have helped many people book their dream holidays, I can't wait to help you with yours!

"Hannah has now helped us twice, and both times she’s been absolutely amazing. She really listens to what we’re after, is so helpful with suggestions, and always so prompt in her replies to make sure every detail is taken care of. We’ve felt completely looked after throughout the process. Any holiday we go on from now will always be booked with Hannah — she makes it such an easy and exciting experience!
