Komodo Islands
Set sail for Komodo National Park on our Indonesia tours, a fantasy come to life! From rosy pink beaches to volcanic cliffs and sapphire shores, this series of islands is almost too stunning to be real. Just as unforgettable is all the wildlife you can spot - including snorkelling with friendly manta rays, and the legendary Komodo dragons!
Indonesia Island-Hopping
When it comes to island-hopping, nowhere in the world does it quite like Indonesia. Whether your idea of paradise involves tropical rainforest that curves around the coast, authentic village homestays or unspoilt golden sand that stretches for miles and miles, the beaches of Indonesia are calling your name… Will you answer?
Canggu - Bali
There is something in the air in Canggu, Bali’s most iconic coastal village. Home to colourful beachside bars and delicious foodie spots, not to mention some of the greatest waves made for surfing on the island, Canggu is effortlessly cool. From the moment you arrive on our Indonesia tours, this destination becomes an instant classic!
Lombok
Lombok is one of Indonesia’s greatest hidden gems. From secret waterfalls in the heart of the rainforest to glorious sunsets by the crashing ocean, it is only a matter of time before you fall in love with Lombok. When you can enjoy beaches practically all to yourself and experience some of the best surfing culture on the planet, how could you not?
Orangutan Trekking
Ever wanted to see orangutans in their natural habitat? Our Indonesia trips make this dream a reality, as you trek through the jungle with a local guide. Get ready for bucket list wildlife encounters as part of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, listening out for all the different monkeys and tropical birds who call this rainforest home.
Sumatra
An undiscovered paradise on Earth, Sumatra is bursting with natural beauty. More than a special glimpse of orangutans hanging out in the wild, Sumatra is your chance to get completely off the beaten path on our Indonesia tours. Enjoy an authentic homestay in the heart of the jungle with an Indigenous tribe, and go island-hopping in total seclusion.
Mount Bromo
Trek across the Sea of Sand under a blanket of stars to reach one of the most breathtaking sunrises of your life. It could only be Mount Bromo, as the sky transforms into awe-inspiring shades of violet and pink over a ring of towering volcano peaks and steamy craters. Moments like these are what travelling is all about!
Yogyakarta
Experience another side of Indonesia inside the mountainous city of Yogyakarta, home to some of the country’s most spectacular archaeological sites - including Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple and famed for its bell-shaped relics. The history is on another level here, from water castles to ancient palaces and lotus-shaped towers.
The Coral Triangle
If you have ever wondered what the secret behind Indonesia’s world-famous snorkelling scene is, the answer is the Coral Triangle! This biodiversity hotspot is like the Amazon Rainforest of the ocean, and Indonesia is right in the heart of it. Enjoy all that Indonesia’s crystal-clear waters has to offer, from colourful coral reefs to tropical marine life.
Indonesia Travel Advice
Climate & Weather
Indonesia is a tropical country with lots of different islands, experiencing warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. While much of Indonesia has distinct wet and dry seasons, islands like Sumatra are known for their lush nature all year round. Rain showers in Indonesia tend to be short and intense spells.
Average annual temperatures are consistent, sitting between 23℃ to 33℃, although this can vary slightly between islands. Indonesia’s highlands and mountain regions are generally cooler.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit on one of our Indonesia tours comes down to preference. Indonesia’s dry season lasts from April to September, with June to August being especially popular due to the sunny weather. Meanwhile, Indonesia’s lush rainy season falls from November to March, which can be a fantastic option for travellers on a budget.
If you are looking to experience the best of Indonesia’s wildlife, May and September can be incredible times of year to visit, as this is during Indonesia’s shoulder season.
Customs & Culture
Because there are so many different islands in Indonesia, the country is very culturally diverse and offers a whole variety of experiences to travellers. While Indonesia is more traditional compared to Bali and is predominantly Muslim, similar cultural customs such as dressing modestly, avoiding public displays of affection and respecting personal space are valued here.
Indonesia is a warm and welcoming country with a relaxed attitude to punctuality. It is important to show respect to the local communities and the environment by leaving each place as you found it on our Indonesia trips.
Passports & Visas
British passport holders will need a visa to enter Indonesia, and this is easy to obtain online before your trip starts or upon arrival. This typically lasts for 30 days and is single-entry, with proof of onward or return travel. Your passport must have an expiration date of at least 6 months after the day you arrive and have at least 2 blank pages.
We recommend staying up to date with FCDO advice before you go travelling, as entry requirements and visa rules can be subject to change.

At Gap 360, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. From the moment your trip is confirmed until you arrive back home, you'll have access to a 24/7 emergency contact number for any urgent issues. For anything non-urgent, our friendly team is also available during office hours to help.
