Island nation
More than 17,000 islands
An extraordinary range of cultures and landscapes stretches from Sumatra to Papua.
Travel tips and inspiration
Indonesia stretches across thousands of islands and combines volcanoes, rainforest, rice terraces, temples and some of the world’s most biodiverse seas. Every region has its own languages, traditions and landscapes. Our Indonesia travel tips include personal travel stories and practical advice for major sights, beautiful scenery and memorable experiences.
Bali and the Gili Islands are well-known destinations, while Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Flores offer completely different experiences. Orangutans, active volcanoes, traditional villages and Raja Ampat’s island world demonstrate the enormous variety. It is worth choosing regions carefully rather than fitting too many islands into one trip, leaving time for nature, culture and encounters beyond transfer routes.
We show you which places are genuinely worthwhile, where famous highlights await and which quieter corners add variety. Our experiences help you discover Indonesia with realistic expectations and enough time for the experiences that best suit your trip.
