Overview

From Yogyakarta with the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan you travel by train to Malang, watch sunrise at Bromo, visit Ijen volcano and cross to Bali. Snorkelling off Menjangan, a bike ride through the heart of Bali, Ubud and relaxation in Sanur.

Your journey from Java to Bali begins with a true highlight: Yogyakarta, the cultural heart of Java. In the surrounding area, you'll explore impressive temple complexes – the world-famous Borobudur with its Buddhist stupas and the intricately decorated Hindu temples of Prambanan. On a relaxed bike tour through the rural region, you'll immerse yourself in the everyday life of the people – an authentic experience off the beaten tourist track. Then it's time to head for the heights: You'll make your way through the impressive crater of Tengger National Park and marvel at Mount Bromo at sunrise – an unforgettable sight. Early in the morning, the ascent to the crater rim of Mount Ijen is also on the agenda. Once you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with a view of the brilliant turquoise sulfur lake – a true natural spectacle. In Bali, Ubud, the island's spiritual center, awaits you first. Afterwards, it's time to put your feet up and relax – on Gili Meno you'll enjoy a few peaceful days by the sea before your island adventure comes to an end.
