Indonesia Luxury Adventure

(13 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Bali, Moyo Island, Java

This luxury adventure tour visits three islands in Indonesia and features the most interesting cultural touring, scenic landscapes, and adventure activities in each destination. Accommodation is at luxury resorts known for their style, location and hospitality.

Begin in eastern Bali, one of the island’s most traditional regions, and the exclusive Amankila resort, which perches on a cliff high above the ocean near Candidasa. During flexible touring with your private guide and driver, visit royal palaces, revered temples such as Pura Besakih on sacred Mount Agung, and Balinese villages known for their high-quality weavings and traditional architecture. Also see terraced rice fields and other beautiful landscapes. One day, enjoy an afternoon cruise (including the option for snorkeling) off the coast of Eastern Bali. During free time, relax on the beach or by the resort's spectacular tiered infinity pool overlooking the ocean. If desired, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange hiking or biking through verdant rice paddies, as well as diving or sailing excursions.

Next, take a short flight to Moyo, a sparsely inhabited island that’s primarily a wildlife park and marine reserve. Stay at Amanwana, a luxurious tented camp and the island’s only resort, surrounded by emerald forests and turquoise waters. One day, enjoy a spectacular snorkeling excursion to a nearby reef. Another day, take an excursion by boat and jeep, and then hike through the jungle for a refreshing swim in a waterfall. During leisure time, kayak, fish, go diving or night snorkeling, explore nearby coral coves and beaches, or relax and rejuvenate with treatments at the open-air spa.

Return to Bali and travel to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. With your private guide and driver, tour the region according to your interests: visit local artisan villages and the workshops of noted artists and craftsmen; peruse a local outdoor food market; visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; explore Ubud’s most interesting museums and art galleries; tour Balinese water palaces and important temples such as Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu; meet with a Balinese healer or spiritual leader; attend local festivals; or venture into the highlands to Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Kintamani and villages along the slopes of Mount Batur. One evening, attend a Balinese dance performance at Ubud’s royal palace. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities in the region, such as river rafting, mountain biking and cooking classes. During free time, enjoy the town’s many cafes and boutiques, and take advantage of your private plunge pool and the resort’s spa.

Next, fly the short distance to Java to Yogyakarta, a city renowned for traditional arts, culture and education. During city touring with your private guide and driver, visit the sultan’s palace, browse for traditional art and antiques at local galleries and boutiques, and explore fascinating Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to spectacular Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world and another impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay at the extraordinary Amanjiwo resort, which is located in the lush hills overlooking Borobudur. With a private guide, tour Borobudur to learn about the history of the temple and its intricate stone carvings. Other touring options include hiking in the forested hills, biking to nearby villages, a horse-pulled carriage ride to local villages, meditation sessions at a local temple, and having a traditional meal at a private home. During free time, perhaps enjoy spa treatments or relax by the resort’s pool, which is set among rice paddies.

Testimonials

This was truly the trip of a lifetime…In New Zealand, all six of us caught trout, went horse riding, helicoptering, jet boating…all the while being cared for by the most wonderful people ever.
~ P.F., Gwynedd Valley, PA

Peru was absolutely outstanding. Our guide gave me the encouragement and help I needed in climbing to the very top of Huayna Picchu – an accomplishment of which I will always be thankful!! 
~ P.C., Smyrna, GA

We had a wonderful time in Asia!!! Highlights in Indonesia were the airplane view of the volcanoes on Java, walking each level of Borobudur by ourselves with no one else around, the trek to Selogriyo and its breathtaking terraced rice fields…
~ T.T., New York, NY
