About Far Horizons

Route MapVisiting

In 2015 Indonesia Horizons (Part I) explored the islands of Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, West Papua and East Timor. Our next journey will travel extensively through Java and Bali, then cruise the fabled ‘Spice Islands’ to Flores.

From Jakarta we drive west to Anyer to take a boat trip to the shores of Krakatau island and its active offspring Anak Krakatau (“child of Krakatau”). We also visit remote Ujung Kulong National Park before returning to Jakarta and commencing a two week overland journey across Java to Bandung, Pangandaran on the south coast, the colonial market town of Wonosobo, high Dieng Plateau, the Buddhist stupa at Borobudur, the Sultan’s palaces of Yogyakarta and Surakarta (Solo), climb to the rim of Mt Bromo to gaze into the sulphurous depths, then drive to the Ijen crater on the eastern tip of Java to see locals mining sulphur.

On Bali's north coast we spend a night at beautiful Menjangan and the old capital of Lovina, then browse the many galleries of

Ubud. We then embark on Ombak Putih, a fully refurbished Buginese phinisi schooner to sail through the fabled ‘spice islands’ visiting Moyo, Sumbawa, Komodo and Rinca islands - home of the mighty Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis).

From Labuan Bajo on Flores Island, we continue east by road to Ruteng, Bajawa and Maumere, from where we fly back to Bali for a relaxing end to this incredible journey of discovery.

terraces and stalagmites destroyed in 1883 by the Krakatau tidal wave. From Carita we drive back to Jakarta for two nights stay at Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

We visit the flea markets on Jalan Surabaya, the National Monument and museum in Independence Square and at Pecinan (Chinatown) visit Asemka Market and try a famous ice coffee at Kedai Kopi es Tak Kie which was established in 1927.

We drive via Bogor Botanical Gardens and the Puncak tea plantations to Bandung, where we stay two nights at Hotel Padma.

We make a full day excursion to volcanic Mt. Tangkuban Perahu and the Ciater Highlands to walk to the rim of the crater. We visit a tea factory and have time for a bath in the Sariater hot springs, where the sulphuric water is said to cure various diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis.

Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatau)

We drive through forested countryside to Pangandaran on the south coast, enroute stopping at a traditional Naga Village. Overnight at The Arnawa.

We take a boat ride on the Cijulang River to see the stalactites and stalagmites in the beautiful Green Canyon, then drive via Cilacap to Wonosobo, a market town where tea and tobacco is grown. We stay overnight at the pleasant colonial era Kresna Hotel.

Sunrise over Borobudur

In Kota Gede we take a becak (peddle-cab) through the old city where silverware and traditional jewellery has been made for centuries. We also see pendopo (traditional Javanese houses) some dating from the 18th century. We stay two nights at the historical MGallery Phoenix Hotel.

We visit the magnificent 9th century Prambanan Hindu temple complex, where several structures are thought to date from the 8th century Syailendra Dynasty. In the afternoon we visit a traditional angklung (bamboo musical instrument) factory and have time to shop and explore Jalan Malioboro, Yogyakarta's main street.

Indonesia Horizons

Our journey begins with a Garuda Indonesia flight from Sydney, Melbourne or Perth via Denpasar to Jakarta for overnight at the Sheraton Bandara Hotel adjacent to airport.

We visit 'old Batavia' to walk through Fatahilah Square and visit the museum, and Sunda Kelapa harbour to see Buginese phinisi schooners. In the afternoon we drive to Anyer for overnight at Aston Anyer Hotel.

We cruise by fast boat to view volcanic Mt Krakatau and nearby Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatau). We continue to Rakata Island for a swim over the coral reefs before cruising to the Ujung Kulon World Heritage Site. We stay at the simple Peucang Lodge in fan-cooled rooms.

At Cidaon grazing fields we look for wildlife including banten cattle, wild pig and possibly the rare Javan rhino. At Citerjun we see the remnants of the calcifield

In the cool and misty mountains of the Dieng Plateau (about 2200m above sea level), we see the first known standing stone structures in Java. Historians believe the eight small Hindu temples dating from the 7th century are all that remain of an original 400. After lunch we drive to Magelan and stay overnight at Plataran Borobudur.

A pre-dawn start and special entry to the nearby Borobudur temple complex is rewarded (hopefully!) with a spectacular

sunrise over this 10th century Buddhist monument before the many day visitors arrive. We return to the hotel for a relaxed breakfast then drive to Jogjakarta to visit the Keraton (Sultan's palace), a living museum where Sultan Hamengkubuwono and his family still reside.

We drive to Mount Bromo, one of several active volcanoes lying inside the massive 10km wide Tengger caldera. We descend into the caldera, drive cross the 'sea of sand' and after a short walk or poney ride climb the steps to the rim of the Bromo crater for spectacular views. We then drive to Banyuwangi on the eastern tip of Java, for a two night stay at Ijen Resort.

The next day we drive to Surakarta (Solo) where to visit Danarhadi Batik Museum which showcases more than 10,000 items of rare and historical batik pieces from all over Indonesia.

At the Brojobuwono Keris factory we see craftsmen making Keris (traditional Javanese dagger), and at the Sangiran Museum see many exhibits of ancient hominids, vertebrates, marine and plant fossils. We stay overnight at the MGallery Surakarta Heritage Hotel.

We drive to the small regency of Blitar, where we visit Penataran Temple, the largest intact and finest temple examples from the golden period of the Majapahit kingdom. We stay overnight at Tugu Hotel.

We skirt around Mount Kelud on our journey north to Malang, which is a popular holiday destination known locally as “Paris of East Java”. We stay overnight at Tugu Malang, which boasts numerous antiquities and museum pieces .

page 4Mt Bromo, Tengger caldera

We take an early morning excursion to the spectacular Ijen crater, driving through rich farmlands and tropical forest to Paltuding from where we walk 3km to the rim of the volcano to observe miners cutting blocks of sulfur from the shores of the crater lake. We return to the hotel for a relaxed afternoon.

From Ketapang we take the car ferry to Gilimanuk on Bali, then drive to the Menjangan Resort for the night.

We visit Jayapranas grave, a story from Bali's distant past somewhat akin to Shakespear’s Romeo and Juliet; and Pulaki Temple, before reaching the old capital of Lovina for overnight at The Lovina Resort.

We depart early by traditional outrigger boat in search of spinner dolphins feeding along the offshore reef. We then drive

through the mountainous interior to Bedugal and visit Pura Ulun Danau temple on the shores of Lake Bratan. At Mengwi we visit the Royal Temple of Taman Ayun, decorated with beautiful Balinese ornaments. We stay two nights at Maya Ubud.

We take a full day excursion to Mt Kintamani overlooking Batur Lake, visit Goa Gajah (elephant cave), and Purkabala Museum with its collection of antique stone sarcophagi. Nearby, at Pura Penataran Sasih temple, there are two rows of ancient rock-hewn tombs. We return to Ubud through some of Bali's most scenic countryside tiered with photogenic rice terraces.

We stroll through Ubud's handicraft markets and browse the galleries of prominent Balinese artists before driving to Celuk to watch gold and silver craftsment at work, then to the village of Mas where you can test your bartering skills purchasing carved wooden artefacts or locally made fabrics at the batik factory. We stay overnight at the beachfront St Regis in Nusa Dua.

of the islands to the west are home to Asiatic animal and plant species, whereas the islands to the east of the invisible ‘Wallace Line’ have a greater similarity to species found in Australia.

In the afternoon we make our first stop at one of the three Gili islands, just off Lombok’s northwest coast.

Moored off the coast of North Lombok, we go ashore to visit the village of Senaru, where one of the local women will give us an insight into the culture of the indigenous Sasak people while showing us the simple thatched houses and gardens of fruits and spices. We stroll through the forest to Sindang Gila, a roaring 40-metre high tiered waterfall. If time permits we will visit Bayan Beleq, a grass-roofed mosque said to have been founded in the 16th century,

Rice terraces, near Ubud

The next morning we embark on Ombak Putih, a fully refurbished and modernised Buginese sailing phinisi (schooner), to begin a seven day cruise through the fabled 'Spice Islands'.

We sail across the Lombok Strait, the deep trench between Bali and Lombok which marks a very important ecological boundary first described by British naturalist Sir Alfred Russel Wallace. Wallace noticed that the flora and fauna

making it the oldest mosque on Lombok. The area around Senaru and Bayan was the birthplace of Lombok’s unique Wektu Telu belief system which combines ancient animist practices with Islam.

The next morning we will be moored off Labuan Aji village on the island of Moyo. We visit the village then walk to Diwu Mba’i waterfall for a swim in the deep clear pool.

We sail to Satonda, a volcanic island with a sunken crater lake in its centre that was created by the tsunami following the 1815 eruption of nearby Mt Tambora. The eruption was the biggest volcanic explosion in the collective memory of mankind; it had roughly four times the energy of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and gave rise to the ‘year without a summer’ because of the effect on North American and European weather. Local people believe Satonda to Ombak Putih under sail (when conditions suit)

be magical, and with this in mind, we will walk to the lip of the caldera to view the lake.

The seas surrounding the island are rich with corals and tropical fish, so we will spend the afternoon swimming and snorkelling. Around dusk we will see thousands of flying foxes leaving to feed on the neighboring island.

We visit Wera, a Buginese settlement on the island of Sumbawa, where we will see the local men building wooden boats and the women weaving brightly coloured cloth.

We proceed to the island of Banta, passing Sangean island, an active volcano towering 1800 metres above the surrounding waters. Banta island is uninhabited and lies within the boundaries of Komodo National Park.

particles of red coral mingled with the sand. Here we can swim and snorkel over one of the richest reefs in Eastern Indonesia.

The next day we visit the ranger station at Loh Buaya on Rinca Island where we take another ranger-led nature trek in search of more Komodo dragons. Rinca is also well known for its diverse wildlife, so we may also spot monkeys, wild buffaloes and deer. In the evening we go ashore to a secluded beach for a bonfire and beach barbecue to celebrate our final night on cruise.

We disembark at Labuan Bajo, on Flores Island, and visit Melo village where local ‘strongmen’ perform the ‘Caci,’ a ritual whip-fight between two rivals in which the players, each armed with a rattan shield and a whip, will try to hit each other while dancing to the rhythm of traditional instruments.

lakes, and after a walk through the Moni local market proceed to Maumere with stops at Jopu traditional village and Sikka weaving village. We stay overnight at Capa Resort.

We fly back to Bali and have time at leisure before visiting Pura Tanah Lot, an important Balinese temple siutated on a rocky outcropping. Over a thirst quenching cocktail we will watch the sun set over the temple before enjoying a meal at one of Seminyaks many exquisite restaurants. We stay overnight at St Regis Hotel.

On our final morning we visit the stunning Uluwatu Temple built at the top of the cliffs on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula. The balance of the day is at leisure until departure to the airport for our overnight flight to Sydney, Melbourne or Perth.

When we wake up, the boat will be anchored off the beach of famous Komodo Island, one of approximately 80 islands that make up the Komodo National Park. We will go ashore at the ranger station in Loh Liang for an early morning ranger-led trek through the park searching for Komodo dragons.

In this savannah-like setting of dry, rugged landscape, we will encounter, at a safe distance, these awe-inspiring, giant lizards – Indonesia’s living dinosaurs. We may spot deer, wild boar, sulphur-crested cockatoos, butterflies, rare orchids and jungle chickens

It is our policy to use the highest quality accommodation available throughout each stage of every tour. In large cities we also select hotels which offer a special ambience, history or favorable location. Outside major cities and towns hotel choices are limited and the 'best available' may be the 'only available' hotel and passengers should be aware that we are not always able to provide fully international standards of accommodation.
