Locations in Lombok & eastern islands

Indonesia has an astonishing number of tropical islands, which means it’s easy to get off the beaten track to where active volcanoes loom, jungles dominate and pre-historic looking creatures roam free. Bali is a relaxed starting point to Indonesia: bicycle through bright-green paddy fields or dive off the black sand beaches in the north. For those wishing to see more, we can recommend the best options in Java, Lombok, Komodo Island, Sumba, Sulawesi and Raja Ampat.
