Destination Indonesia

Destination Indonesia
Destination Indonesia

Although most visitors to Indonesia flock the shores of Bali, this 17,000 island country is filled with completely unexplored areas some of which are as beautiful as they are stunning. Active volcanoes, ancient ruins rivalling Angkor Wat and boulder beaches like the Seychelles, diving in the rich Coral Triangle, Komodo dragons and culture galore, Indonesia is much more than surfing at Kuta or shopping in Seminyak, give it a chance and it will surprise you.
