Temples at dawn. Volcanoes before breakfast. Coral reefs, jungle waterfalls and sacred waters in Bali. Then three nights sailing through Komodo aboard a premium small yacht. Indonesia in Full Colour packs fourteen days with extraordinary landscapes, exhilarating encounters and just enough time to slow down and savour it all. Come ready for the journey—and the stories you will bring home.
If your first journey to Indonesia should be bigger than a beach holiday, this is the one. Created for active couples, honeymooners and culturally curious travellers, Indonesia Highlights: In Full Colour brings together Java, Bali and Komodo in one exhilarating 14-day journey. You will stand before ancient temples, watch daylight reach volcanic calderas, cross between islands by ferry and finish aboard a premium small yacht in the wild seas of Komodo. It is Indonesia in all its contrasts—sacred, untamed, beautiful and completely unforgettable.
Begin near Borobudur, where specialist interpretation brings Java’s sacred landscape vividly to life. From the carved terraces of Borobudur to the soaring Hindu towers of Prambanan, history becomes the opening chapter of your journey. Then the landscape takes over with two unforgettable pre-dawn adventures at Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen.
Crossing into Bali reveals coral reefs, mountain waterfalls and a quieter rhythm of island life. Snorkel or dive at Menjangan, travel through the cool Munduk highlands and slow down among Sidemen’s rice fields, village traditions and warm hospitality. Besakih, the Batur caldera and a carefully hosted water-temple experience complete the story.
The finale belongs to Komodo. Spend three nights aboard a premium small yacht, waking beneath rugged island peaks and sailing between ranger-led wildlife experiences, remote beaches and condition-led marine encounters. This is an energetic journey, balanced by restorative time in Sidemen and the freedom of life at sea—fourteen remarkable days that reveal just how extraordinary Indonesia can be.
Welcome to Indonesia. We arrange your private welcome at Yogyakarta International Airport and the onward drive to an especially selected stay in the Borobudur or Yogyakarta area. The first day remains deliberately free of fixed sightseeing, allowing time to settle in and recover.
Borobudur is arranged for the best confirmed visitor slot, with a licensed local expert and the level of monument access permitted on the day. The temple's reliefs and Buddhist cosmology are placed within the wider pilgrimage landscape rather than treated as an isolated monument.
Brief visits to Pawon and Mendut complete that sequence before a proper lunch and rest period. Later, your driver takes you to Prambanan for clear historical interpretation in the softer part of the day. Plaosan remains optional only when timing, light and energy support it.

Travel east across Java by the best available daytime rail or air routing for the confirmed departure date, selected for comfort and to protect the Bromo programme. Your private driver meets the confirmed arrival and continues into the highlands, where an early dinner and mountain briefing prepare you for the pre-dawn start.
Before dawn, an authorised local jeep is waiting for the Bromo landscape. The viewpoint is selected against current access, weather and crowd conditions. Continue across the caldera and towards the permitted crater approach when conditions and your ability allow, then travel east towards Ijen or Banyuwangi.
The Ijen programme begins before dawn when official access, health requirements, weather and volcanic conditions allow. The crater rim at morning light is the core experience; blue-flame access is never promised. After breakfast, we arrange the private transfer to Ketapang, the ferry crossing to Gilimanuk and the onward drive to a quiet coastal stay in West Bali.

After returning to the mainland, continue into Munduk's cooler highlands.
Begin the following day with a waterfall and plantation walk adjusted to the weather, trail and your ability. Continue to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, where your local expert explains the temple's place within Bali's water and belief systems, before the cross-island drive to Sidemen. The evening remains open at the retreat.

One carefully chosen cultural element may focus on weaving, silverwork, offering-making, music or a hosted compound visit. A Balinese cooking experience and shared lunch, or another strong meal-led local experience, follows in the confirmed format.
The later afternoon is yours for the pool, spa or private time. A short arak-maker visit is optional only where the host relationship, hygiene and responsible tasting arrangements are suitable.

Later, Pura Mengening or another approved quieter water temple provides an appropriately hosted purification experience. Your driver then takes you to an operationally convenient premium hotel in South Bali, with no evening touring commitment.

The captain and park arrangements determine whether Rinca or Komodo provides the authorised ranger-led visitor experience. On shore, every movement follows ranger instructions and the animals set the terms of the encounter. Condition-led reef, beach or island time follows, with wildlife sightings never promised.
Padar's viewpoint is approached at the most suitable permitted time, adjusted for heat, crowds and the vessel's safe route. Beach and reef time follows at sites selected for currents, sea state and guest ability. A manta programme may be attempted where appropriate, but sightings are never promised.
