Exotic, educational and enlightening are just three of the words that spring to mind when describing this 13-day Java Bali and Lombok Indonesia tour package. Embark on a voyage of discovery through a kaleidoscope of color and texture, amounting to the enviable terrain of Indonesia and its rich and cultural heritage. You will traverse three of the most praised islands in the region - Java, Bali and Lombok. Each of offering something unique that will no doubt enthral and entertain in equal measures.

Your Java Bali and Lombok Indonesia tour begins in Jogjakarta, Java, where you will get better acquainted with the history and symbolism of the temples, a repository of classical Javanese art. Go off the tourist trail and discover remote villages untouched by the forces of modernity. You will have the rare and thrilling opportunity to experience Mt Bromo, the most active of all Indonesia's volcanoes. Here you will take a 20-minute ride on horseback to the rim of the still-active Bromo crater.

A definite highlight of this Indonesian tour package is likely to be a day spent discovering the cultural heart of Bali, Ubud. Slipping into the laid back mentality that is the Balinese way of life, this is where the pace of the tour takes a decidedly slower turn with early morning strolls through the tranquil rice fields and market trips before lunch at one of Bali's most exclusive restaurants, Indus. After a strenuous few days the option of an hour long Balinese massage is likely to appeal.

Once you reach the idyllic shores of the Gili islands, our Three Islands tour becomes all about relaxation and optional recreational pursuits including swimming, diving and island excursions. The main form of transport here is horse-drawn cart (cidomos) testament to the sleepy and undisturbed nature of this destination.

The Java Bali and Lombok Indonesia tour concludes with a leisurely breakfast and midday check out, enabling you to enjoy your last hours on the beach, with the added option of a full-day excursion to Sasak Villages and South Lombok. Our 13 day Indonesia tour package is perfect for those who are curious about the regions culture and appreciate a balance between adventure and relaxation when on holiday.
