17,000 individual islands, 33 provinces, a coastline which is the fourth longest in the world… This is Indonesia, and we wouldn’t blame you if this information actually proves somewhat daunting to you, if you’re considering a holiday to this incredible country of the Far East.

With vast islands like Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra to its name – not to mention the country’s encroachment onto other lands, which has produced the just as large regions of Kalimantan and Papua –the overriding, and potentially defeating question may be “Where do you start?”

Well, we think a great start to an answer to that question is one of our twin centre holidays – in which you’ll get to start in one place and finish in another! There’s no way you can take in everything of this country with one trip, but by placing yourself in two different locations during your stay you can at least come close to getting a proper taste of Indonesia and all that it offers.

Maybe you might begin in Sumatra, with its many attractions, both natural (such as Lake LutTawar and Harau Canyon) and man-made (like the amazing Istana Pagaruyung palace), and then take yourself to Sulawesi, where you’ll find unspoilt beauty amongst its Togean Islands and great wildlife in its Tangkoko National Park.

Or perhaps you might just stay within Java, and soak up all that bustling Jakarta can offer before moving on to the wonderful landscapes of the far east of the region – which, incidentally, is right next door to beautiful Bali!

The choice is yours, but we think we can say for certain that you’ll be giving yourself a holiday you’ll never forget, whichever two areas of Indonesia you decide to visit. Contact us if you can’t find just the right package for you online, and we’ll find it – for truly competitive prices.
