Wild islands, ancient wonders and dragons (yes really)

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.

Having visited 32 countries (and counting!), I've been lucky enough to turn my passions of exploring the world into a career helping others do the same. I specialise in travel across Australia, the Pacific Islands, Cruises, and bring a wealth of knowledge from a six-month backpacking adventure across Europe that gave me first hand insight into travelling on and off the beaten track. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a once in a lifetime adventure, I’ll take care of every detail so that you can relax and enjoy the journey. Your travel will be made easy, memorable, and be perfectly suited to you.

Some of my most memorable experiences include hot air ballooning over the desert in Dubai, island hopping along Croatia’s stunning coastline, and something a little closer to home - Fiji! - A destination every Kiwi should experience at least once.

Travel is constantly evolving, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way — from planning and booking to those special insider tips. Get in touch via phone or email to start planning your next adventure. Video consultations are also available for your convenience.
