Your day-by-day itinerary
Wonders of Yogya
Watch the sun rise over giant buddhas buried in the misty morning jungle at Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world. Wander between the stupas in the soft purples of dawn, the air thick with mysticism and a touch of magic. You’ll stay in Yogyakarta, the cultural heart of Java. Before dawn, you’ll set off to Borobudur to catch the sunrise. It really is something quite special.
Onward transfers
You’ll jump into a private car with driver for the journey to Mt Bromo. The journey takes roughly 3 hours.
Rumbling Bromo
Journey from Yogyakarta to Mount Bromo, Java’s most photogenic volcano with a perfectly-shaped cinder cone. En route, you’ll amble around the Hindu temple of Prambanan, get a taste of local life staying in a small village, hike through fertile green plantations and climb the curling scenic road to the volcanoes. Sunrise at Bromo is something quite staggering. Prepare to be knocked sideways.
Onward transfers
Back in your private car, your driver will take you all the way to Surabaya airport, in time for your flight to Kalimantan. The drive will take around 4 hours and direct flight to Palangkaraya is just over an hour..
Drifting Downstream in Kalimantan
After you land in Palangkaraya, you’ll be transferred to one of the modern hotels for the night and your adventure will start in the morning when your driver takes you to the port. The next couple of nights you will live a true explorer’s life aboard a traditional boat (klotok) while venturing to the heart of Central Kalimantan. With only a handful of cabins, a viewing deck and an outside dining area, your floating hotel is cosy and comfortable, and sights and sounds of the lush jungle around will add a touch of magic to this experience.
Cruising down the winding jungle river, you will spot wildlife, canoe around the picturesque lakes and meet indigenous Dayak people, native to Borneo. But what makes this trip really special for most wildlife enthusiasts is a visit to Bapallas island, where Orangutans are released for the final stage of the rehabilitation programme. Seeing these fascinating primates swing between the trees in their natural habitat will no doubt be one of the many highlights of your adventure.
Onward transfers
After your klotok docks in Palangkaraya port, you’ll be whisked to the airport to board your flight to Bali (either via Surabaya or Jakarta). Your private car and driver will be waiting for your arrival in Denpasar and will transfer you to Sanur, a beautiful coastal town only an hour’s drive from the airport.
Beaches of Southern Bali
Snooze on the sand, stroll on the beach, indulge in a spa treatment (or two) and soak up the tropical sunshine in Sanur, a southern beach with a village feel and a deliciously drowsy vibe. It’s a great place to end a busy trip to Bali, with narrow beaches, spa treatments and seafood by the bucket-load. Stretch out by the pool, take a leisurely walk along the beach and grab a cocktail at sunset. Simple.
Onward transfers
At the end of your stay on Sanur, you’ll be collected from your hotel and transferred to the airport to begin your journey home.
