Get ready for an enthralling holiday in a landscape dominated by exuberant rainforests, idyllic beaches, historical monuments and active volcanoes. This archipelago of 17,000 islands mandates multiple trips to truly experience her diverse lands. There is no place on earth for you to experience the famed Komodo dragon, one of the world’s apex predators — it is only in Indonesia. And if that is not exciting enough, witness your school geography textbook turn live in 3D as you experience magma turning to lava on one of the active volcanoes in the nation.
