11-Nights Highlights of Bali & Java - Private Guided Experiences

This 12-day Indonesian vacation takes you from the idyllic island of Bali to Java to see the temples of Prambanan and Borobudur and explore Bandung. It features first-class accommodations and private tours. 

Your journey begins on Bali, the island that is synonymous with beautiful sunsets, sandy beaches, and the tropical comforts of paradise. Based at 4-star Away Bali Legian Camakila, located just off the beaches of the southwestern peninsula, you’ll have several days to enjoy the beaches and nightlife. Spend each day swimming off the beach, relaxing at your upscale accommodations, and hitting up the clubs, taking advantage of the island’s famous nightlife. Try your hand at surfing or book an excursion to a small village in the island interior. While on Bali, you’ll also spend a day exploring the temples and forests of the interior. Start at the village of Mengwi, where you’ll see the stark 17th-century towers of Taman Ayun Temple. Continue into the sacred monkey forest of Alas Kedaton to spot monkeys roaming across the forest before reaching Tanah Lot Temple, a stunning construction located on a rock formation along the coastline. 

Fly to Yogyakarta, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. Explore the city and visit the Sultan’s Palace, a grand complex of elegant pavilions and Javanese architecture from the 18th century. Then continue to Prambanan, the largest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia. Explore the impressive temple complex to admire the intricate stonework dating back to the 9th century. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a demonstration of Batik making before heading to the Purawisata Restaurant that evening for dinner and a performance of the Javanese Ramayana Ballet.

The following day takes you through rice fields to the mighty temple of Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple. Explore this breathtaking construction from the 8th and 9th centuries and admire its 72 stupas, each with intricate statues of the Buddha. Afterwards, continue to the Dieng Peninsula to see Hindu sanctuaries of the past before reaching Baturaden. After a night at the mountain resort town where you can breath in the fresh mountain air, you’ll continue to Bandung, the third-largest city in the country. Tour the city to explore its colonial districts built during Dutch rule and visit Tangkuban Prahu Crater just outside town, where you can bath in the rejuvenating hot springs. 

You’ll then connect to Jakarta, where your vacation ends.
