5 Days in Indonesia - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Make the most of five days in Indonesia and opt for a Bali highlights tour that features jungle hikes, snorkeling, and enjoying the nightlife in resort town Seminyak. Or choose a Bali tour that focuses on the outdoors, from waterfalls to rice terraces to a unique "floating temple." Other excellent choices include a tour around Java, home to the world's largest Buddhist temple, or a beach-oriented itinerary that features a cruise through Komodo National Park.

1 Week in Indonesia - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

A week in Indonesia allows you to focus on Bali, visit temples and swim in waterfalls, or combine a few days in Bali with a snorkeling and boating adventure around Lombok. Get away from it all on a trip to western Flores and the Komodo Archipelago, hiking through secluded caves and sleeping in a cone-shaped hut. Animal lovers will opt for an itinerary around North Sumatra, featuring elephants and the chance to spot orangutans in the wild, or a trip to Borneo and Java, rich with wildlife viewing opportunities.

10 Days in Indonesia - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With 10 days to spend in Indonesia, many travelers visit Bali for a highlights tour of the island's historic temples, beautiful beaches, and scenic rice fields. You could focus more specifically on Balinese culture, choosing an itinerary that features local experiences like cooking classes or combine several days in Bali with time on another island, like Nusa Penida, an excellent destination for snorkeling. Another option is to skip Bali and explore Java's natural wonders or cruise around the Raja Ampat Archipelago on a traditional wooden sailboat.

You can cover some serious ground with two weeks in Indonesia, exploring up to three different islands, or basing yourself on one or two islands for more in-depth cultural, historical, and culinary experiences. For example, explore the wilds of Kalimantan and the Derawan Islands or pair Java and Bali for a smaller radius. From experiencing ancient village traditions and hiking the jungles of Sulawesi to honeymooning in Bali—your options are plentiful.

How Many Days to Spend in Indonesia

To get the most out of Indonesia's vast cultural and natural treasures, you'll need at least 10 days. This is enough time to see different archipelagos or experience the highlights of a major tourist hub like Bali. In five days or a week, you can still enjoy beach time, snorkeling, and sailing around a couple of locales, but two weeks really opens things up to go off the beaten path and visit multiple islands.

Best Time of Year to Visit Indonesia

Indonesia is a massive country comprised of many regions and thousands of islands spread from east to west across the Indian and Pacific oceans. It's also primarily tropical. Other than a wet and dry season, the temperatures here change little throughout the year. So planning the perfect Indonesian getaway is as simple as picking the suitable months to avoid the heavier rains.

This was my first experience with KimKim and without any hesitation I can recemmend them to anyone looking to plan vacation and looking to do more than go to one hotel and lie on the beach for a week. We decided to to go to Indonesia and wanted a trip that included nature and wildlife, local cultre as well beach and pool time.
We worked with Caroline who was teriffic. Caroline made an initial proposal which was already great and we then suggested some changes like adding an initial visit to Sumatra to see Oranguntans and we upgraded one of the hotels as well as shifting our proposed dates. None of this phased Caroline and she quickly adapted our trip plan!
Our trip was wonderful. We staretd with jungle hikes to see Orangutans in Sumatra (and yes we saw many as well as other wildlife). Then Ubud in Bali where we walked the rice fields, kayaked across a crater lake, visited a monkey park and spent a day with a local family with whom we cooked, Learned about cultivating rice (and even ploughed a rice paddy) and much more (Water Palace, other temples, Art and crafts village etc.). In Sanur we spend a day on a Catamaran and then chilled out at a beach club before heading off to Labuan Bajo where we boarded a private boat that took us to Komodo Island to see the islands famous inhabitants (we saw almost a dozen dragons, lots of wild boar and even more deer, as well as orchids and other wildlife). On the way there the spectacle of fruit bats leaving the mangrove at dusk was incredible, the snorkeling was like swimming in an aquarium and seeing the manata rays glide along the ocean floor was the icing on the cake. After 2 days on the boat we were very happy to end our trip at the Ayana hotel in Lauban Bajo where we could relax for a day before heading home.
A trip of a lifetime that the whole family enjoyed. Logistics in Indonesia was also arranged by Caroline. We had amazing guides and drivers at each location who made sure we were always on time and offered us lots of insight into what we were seeing. The drivers were also flexible, accomodating last minute schedule changes made by us at a moments notice. Thanks for making this a great trip!

Hotel Reviews
Ayana Komodo Waecicu Beach Hotel

Just a wonderful hotel! Would definately come back here and can recommend to all. Our room was outstanding, large with a balcony which had two-directional views out to the ocean and over the forest. The bathrooms were also huge having both a shower and a large bath. The hotel facilities are amazing. the pools, the pier bar and other restaurants were all excellent. The hotel also offers local activities like snorkling and paddleboarding which were fun.

The 101 Bali Oasis Sanur
Denpasar

This was a solid hotel in Sanur, a few blocks away from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The bathrooms were particularly small and each room had a balcony which was not really set up to sit out on since there were no chairs available. The pools were nice and the hotel breakfast was also good.

Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra

A reasonably strenuous walk through the jungle (its not flat landscape) but we quickly saw numerous Orangutans and other parimates as well. We then tubed back down the river to get back to our starting point where we then had a cold beer! Clearly one of the highlights of our trip!
