Java, Bali, Lombok: l’Indonésie incontournable en 2 semaines

Mon périple de deux mois en Indonésie a commencé par un voyage de deux semaines en famille. Comme toujours, c’est moi qui étais chargée d’établir notre itinéraire, de choisir les hôtels, de prévoir les visites et de repérer les bonnes adresses de restos, spa ou autre. Pour concevoir ce voyage, j’ai décidé de me concentrer sur des étapes de charme qui valorisent le patrimoine indonésien. Voici mes trouvailles!

5 jours à Java: Yogyakarta, Borobudur & la campagne javanaise

Lorsque j’organise un voyage, je prends toujours en compte le trajet en avion et le décalage horaire. Je prévois toujours d’arriver dans un hôtel confortable (de préférence avec piscine) pour pouvoir me remettre tranquillement du voyage. Prendre le soleil à la piscine est aussi le bon moyen de recharger les batteries et de faire le plein de vitamines!

Yogyakarta: atterrir en douceur au Phoenix Hôtel

Pour arriver à Java après un long voyage, rien de tel que le Phoenix Hôtel, une adresse confortable au beau milieu de la ville. La piscine est superbe et le petit-déjeuner un vrai bonheur! La situation centrale de l’hôtel vous permettra de prendre le pouls de l’île tranquillement, d’aller visiter les quelques attractions touristiques comme le Kraton Palace.

• The Phoenix Yogyakarta , à partir de 55€

Côté activités, aller voir le Ramayana (des danses traditionnelles javanaises) dans les temples de Prambanan reste un must. Pensez à réserver à l’avance au risque de ne plus avoir de place!

De nombreux voyageurs vont visiter les temples de Borobudur depuis Yogyakarta. Personnellement, je ne trouve pas que cela soit la meilleure option: Borobudur est à plus d’1h30 de route et le mieux reste de s’y rendre pour le lever du soleil. Un réveil aussi matinal, ça fait mal… Pour éviter ce désagrément, mieux vaut mettre le cap sur la région de Borobudur pour la prochaine étape. Elle recèle de pépites!

Borobudur: temples, gastronomie et dolce vita

Le temple de borobudur au lever du soleil.

Après Yogyakarta, direction Borobudur pour une étape de charme mettant l’accès sur le patrimoine religieux et gastronomique de Java. Ici l’incontournable est bien sûr le temple de Borobudur, ensemble bouddhiste datant du IXème siècle. Inscrit au Patrimoine Mondial de l’Unesco, ce monument est l’un des plus célèbres d’Indonésie. Sa visite est magique au moment du lever du soleil. Vous ne serez pas seuls, mais il y aura toujours moins de monde que lorsque tous les cars touristiques débarquent!

Le Plataran, mon resto coup de cœur en Indonésie

Avec une vue sur les stupas de Borobudur, l’hôtel Plataran Heritage Borobudur est une adresse de charme que j’ai vraiment adorée. Non seulement le lieu plein de cachet est absolument magnifique, mais c’est là que j’ai mangé le meilleur repas de mes deux mois et quelques en Indonésie. C’était un délice – rien que d’y penser, j’ai l’eau à la bouche!

• Plataran Borobudur , repas env. 35€/pers, chambre à partir de 200€/nuit

Afternoon tea à l’Amanjiwo

Si vous aimez les beaux hôtels, vous connaissez forcément la chaîne Aman, qui allie luxe extrême et charme authentique. A Bordobudur, l’Amajiwo reprend les principes architecturaux de Borobudur: domes, stupas, nivelés… L’endroit est incroyable!

Y séjourner est très onéreux, mais vous pouvez très bien aller y dîner ou y déguster un afternoon tea. Veillez à reserver au préalable car les vigiles ne plaisantent pas avec la sécurité et votre venue doit être annoncée.

• Amanjiwo , afternoon tea env. 20€/personne

Amata Borobudur, boutique hôtel de charme près des temples

En terme de rapport qualité/prix, l’Amata Borobudur est imbattable dans la région: ses maisons de bois d’inspiration javanaise entourent une vaste piscine où il fait bon plonger après avoir grimpé sans relâche les marches du temple de Borobudur.

• Amata Resort Borobudur , à partir de 70€.

Mesa Stila, un oasis dans la campagne javanaise

Le Mesa Stila Resort est une adresse de choix pour une parenthèse enchantée au milieu des volcans et des rizières de Java. Cette ancienne plantation de café désormais transformée en hôtel offre des hébergements spacieux au charme typiquement javanais. Le resto est délicieux, le spa de grande qualité et la piscine donnant sur la jungle un vrai bonheur! Des cours de yoga, un tour de la plantation et autres activités sont proposées gratuitement tous les jours.

• Mesa Stila Resort , à partir de 200€.

J’aurais adoré ajouté à ce séjour express à Java une virée dans les volcans de l’Est de l’île, mais le temps nous a manqué. C’est une option à considérer si vous disposez de plus de temps ou que vous ne souhaitez pas consacrer 5 jours à la détente en fin de séjour.

5 jours à Bali: Ubud, ses rizières et ses temples

Selon moi, Ubud est le point de chute idéal à Bali. Non seulement est-il très facile de rayonner depuis cette position centrale dans l’île, mais c’est aussi la capitale capitale et spirituelle de l’île. Cela en fait un endroit plus préservé que l’horrible côte qui s’étend de Kuta à Seminyak et que je déconseille de tout mon cœur.

A Ubud vous pourrez, pêle-mêle: flâner dans les rizières, profiter d’hôtels plus beaux les uns que les autres, manger comme un roi, visiter des temples, saluer des singes aussi adorables que mesquins, prendre des cours de yoga ou de méditation… La liste est longue! Je vous renvoie à mon guide d’Ubud que j’ai élaboré après avoir passé un peu plus d’un mois sur place. Côté logement, ma préférence va pour les adorables Madani Antique Villas, au beau milieu de rizières.

• Madani Antique Villas , à partir de 80€.

Si vous souhaitez ajouter une étape plage à votre séjour à Bali, je vous conseille Uluwatu (pour les surfeurs), Lembongan (pour les yogis) ou Amed (pour les plongeurs). Je vous renvoie à mon article Bali, côté plage pour plus d’infos.

5 jours à Lombok: détente dans une île au charme fou

Bali est complètement saturé par l’offre hôtelière, pourtant je n’ai pas été en mesure de trouver un établissement de charme avec un accès direct à la plage en dessous de 800€/nuit (prix de départ). J’ai donc décidé d’opter pour l’île voisine de Lombok, où l’offre hôtelière est bien meilleure. Non seulement les côtes ne sont pas aussi saturées qu’à Bali, mais les plages sont bien plus jolies et le rapport qualité/prix en tout point meilleur.

Mon choix s’est porté sur le Jeeva Klui, un hôtel magnifique situé sur la plage. Mon conseil: si vous le pouvez, optez pour une villa avec piscine plutôt une chambre standard, qui ont moins d’intimité.

• Jeeva Klui , à partir de 90€ (145€ pour une villa avec piscine privée).

Lombok est une île merveilleuse où vous pourrez partir à la découverte de paysages fabuleux comme ses cascades et ses plages immenses! Les îles Gili sont aussi très populaires. La plupart des touristes se concentre sur Gili Air, Gili Meno et Gili Trawagan, mais l’archipel des Gili compte plusieurs dizaines d’îles. J’ai découvert Gili Kedis, Gili Nanggu et Gili Tangkong, moins touristiques que leurs grandes sœurs mais tout aussi jolies.

Voici donc un aperçu de mon itinéraire de deux semaines en Indonésie, en mettant l’accent sur les incontournables certes, mais en évitant tout de même les coins les plus fréquentés. J’espère que mes recommandations sauront vous inspirer si vous prévoyez bientôt une escapade dans ce merveilleux pays!

Paradisiaque et vraiment dépaysant! Bali est une destination que je rêve de faire…

C’est ahurissant et renversant de beauté ! Merci pour ce beau partage.

Les photos sont magnifiques, ça me donne encore plus envie de visiter l’Indonésie, je garde l’article sous le coude pour préparer un itinéraire. Je vois beaucoup de bons plans sur Bali mais j’ai bien envie d’en voir plus de l’Indonésie, Borobudur notamment a l’air très joli :)

Merci Sarah! Avec ses plus de 17.000 îles, l’Indonésie est effectivement loin de se résumer à Bali! Voici d’autres pistes: Flores, Komodo, les Célèbes ou encore Rajat Ampat ;)

Ca a l’air tellement joli !! Je n’ai encore jamais été en Asie mais ça me donne tellement envie de commencer ma découverte asiatique le plus vite possible :).

Après avoir été conquise par la générosité et la bonté des Thaïlandais, j’ai décidé de rester en Asie du Sud-Est et d’aller passer 3 semaines en Indonésie .

L’Indonésie est un archipel qui compte plus de 16000 îles, alors bien évidemment tu ne visites pas l’Indonésie en une fois… Et peut-être même qu’une vie ne suffirait pas… Pour ces 3 semaines en Indonésie, j’ai donc fait le choix de me concentrer sur les îles de Java, Bali et Lombok .

Voici l'itinéraire DE MES 3 SEMAINES EN INDONÉSIE :

Travel Far And Wide

Indonesia – Ultimate 1 Month Itinerary (2024): 30 days across Bali, Java, Lombok, Komodo

Welcome to the tropical paradise of Indonesia, where lush jungles, stunning beaches, and vibrant culture converge to create the perfect travel destination! With more than 17,000 islands, the Indonesian archipelago is so large and diverse that you’d probably need a lifetime to discover most of the islands. This one-month itinerary covers the most beautiful sights of Bali, Java, Lombok, and Komodo Islands. From visiting ancient temples, seeing unique wildlife, trekking majestic volcanoes, to surfing the best waves and savoring delicious food, you’ll have a blissful time in Indonesia!

Canggu (4 Days)

Canggu is a former surfer town that has become the hippest place with a laid-back vibe in Bali. Home to long black sand beaches, the best cafés, restaurants, and the trendiest beach clubs, Canggu is the perfect place to start your one-month trip.

Spend a few days soaking up the cool atmosphere after your long flight, explore the markets, sip a cocktail at the beach to watch the sunset. Canggu is not the most authentic part of Bali, but it has certainly a lot to offer!

• Getting to Canggu

From the airport, the best way to get to Canggu is with a taxi, a shared transport or order a Gojek/ Gab. Canggu is relatively close to the airport, but it can take between 45 minutes to 1h30.

• Where to stay in Canggu?

There are so many great accommodations in Canggu from backpacker hostels to boutique hotels and luxury villas. You will easily find something for your taste and budget. For a quiter option in Canggu, consider the Pererenan area.

Munduk (2 Days)

Munduk is a charming village nestled in the mountains in the north of Bali. Known for its serene atmosphere and cooler weather, Munduk has many impressive waterfalls, hiking trails, and sacred temples such as the famous Ulun Danu Bratan. Most people come for a day trip from Ubud but staying at least one night gives you a chance to experience the local life and traditions in a quiet part of Bali.

Best waterfalls around Munduk:

• Banyumala Twin Waterfall
• Gitgit Waterfall
• Munduk Waterfall
• Aling Aling Waterfall
• Banyu Wana Amertha
• Getting to Munduk

From Canggu, you can either rent a scooter or hire a driver for the day and stop on the way to see rice terraces, temples, and waterfalls! Hiring a driver cost approximately 600,000 IDR – 40 USD per day.

• Where to stay in Munduk?

There are not as many options as in Canggu but Munduk offers a great selection of well-reviewed hotels and homestays that are often in the midst of rice fields or in the mountains.

Java Volcanoes – Mount Bromo & Kawa Ijen (3 Days)

From Munduk, join an epic adventure with Indo Travel Team to explore the Eastern side of the island of Java, the most populous island in Indonesia that is known for its majestic volcanoes and unique culture. Over three days you’ll explore East Java , visit traditional villages, and trek the impressive Mount Bromo and Kawa Ijen with its acid lake. Expect to witness amazing sunrises from the top of volcanoes with incredible views of the valleys.

This was by far one of our best experiences in Indonesia – read about our trip to Java here .

• Getting to Java

Pick-up, transport, and drop-off are included for trips organized by Indo Travel Team. Munduk is a great starting point as it’s only a couple of hours away from Java.

• Where to stay in Java

The two nights’ accommodation are included in the tour – you’ll stay in clean, comfortable homestays in Java.

Ubud (4 Days)

After three intense days hiking in Java, head to Ubud , the cultural and artistic heart of Bali. Spend a few days discovering the sacred temples, powerful waterfalls, lush Tegalalang rice terraces, and vibrant art markets.

Although Ubud is no longer a quiet town, it remains an authentic place and must-see in Indonesia with so many things to do. Bonus: the food scene is incredible in Ubud!

• Getting to Ubud

You’ll be dropped off in Munduk after your Java trip where you left your main luggage. The best way to get to Ubud, in Central Bali, is to hire a driver from Munduk – the journey takes approximately 1h30.

• Where to stay in Ubud

Ubud offers a great selection of hotels, guesthouses, and luxury villas for all budgets. You can stay in the center where many attractions and good restaurants are but bear in mind that it is very busy and congested with traffic! If you prefer peace and quiet, there are many options to stay in the middle of rice terraces in the outskirts of Ubud but you’ll need transport to reach the center (some guesthouses offer a shuttle service).

Amed (3 Days)

Take a few days to enjoy the slow life in the charming village of Amed , on the eastern coast of Bali. Amed is the perfect destination after vibrant Ubud where you can chill on black sand beaches and snorkel all day to spot colorful fish and incredible coral reefs. The atmosphere is peaceful, the locals are super friendly, and the surrounding countryside is stunning. Stop on the way from Ubud to visit the Tirta Gangga Temple and climb the Lahangan Sweet viewpoint for incredible views of Mount Agung.

• Getting to Amed

From Ubud to Amed is a solid 2-hour drive. Hire a driver for the day and include a few stops on the way!

• Where to stay in Amed

Amed is small but spreads out along the coast. Stay in one of the many homestays or bungalows the centre part between Jemeluk Beach and Lipah Beach.

Gili Islands (3 Days)

Next, hop on a boat to the idyllic Gili Islands ! The archipelago is made up of three islands (Gili Trawagan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air) is and it is perfect beach getaway! There are no cars or traffic here, you’ll have to walk or cycle to get around the islands. Relax at the beach, sip cocktails while enjoying incredible sunsets, and snorkel in crystal clear water in search of turtles and exotic fish. If you don’t know on which island to stay, read our detailed comparison!

Lombok Island – Kuta (3 days)

Lombok is called Bali’s sister island for a reason – it boasts popular surfing spots, countless powerful waterfalls such as Benang Kelambu and Benang Stokel Waterfalls, an iconic volcano Mount Rinjani, and stunning beaches. Unlike Bali, the island of Lombok is still untouched from mass tourism with its natural beauty making it a special place to visit while traveling in Indonesia.

• Getting to Lombok Island

From the Gili Islands, it only takes 20 minutes on a fast boat to the port of Bangsal in Lombok. Arrange a driver to pick you up at the harbor to your hotel, or try your luck haggling for a price when arriving.

• Where to Stay in Lombok

There are two main options in Lombok – you can stay in Senggigi on the west coast where you’ll find more resorts and upscale hotels. Alternatively, head south to the surfing town of Kuta with trendy cafés and a nice vibe. We strongly recommend Rascals Hotel in Kuta which was by far our favorite hotel in Indonesia (adults only!).

Komodo Islands (4 Days)

Embark on a multi-day cruise to sail the incredible Komodo Islands . On your Komodo Islands cruise you’ll be able to see it all, you’ll meet the famous Komodo Dragons, swim with sharks and – hopefully – be able to spot a Manta Ray or two also.

Not forgetting swimming in turquoise waters and hiking the iconic Padar Island at sunrise. Read about our Komodo experience here , this includes our tips on what to watch out for with the Komodo tour operators.

• Getting to Komodo Islands

Catch a short 45-minute flight from Lombok Airport to Labuan Bajo on Flores Island, which is the largest of the Komodo islands. All shared cruises depart over the weekend (Friday morning to Sunday mid-day). You’ll need to arrive in Flores on Thursday night and stay one night in Labuan Bajo, at minimum.

• Where to Stay in Labuan Bajo, Komdo

There are a range of accommodation options including hotels and upscale hotels to relax before the cruise.

Uluwatu (3 Days)

Fly back to Bali and head to the most southern part of the island, Uluwatu, but when you’re there – watch out for the local monkeys – the monkeys of Uluwatu are known as being the rowdiest. Uluwatu has a laid-back atmosphere with great surfing spots, trendy beach clubs, and the most beautiful beaches in Bali. Don’t miss the traditional Kecak fire dance, a captivating spiritual Balinese dance, performed against the backdrop of sunset in the iconic Uluwatu Temple.

Beach clubs: Savaya Bali – Palmillina – Ulu Cliffhouse – Finns

• Getting to Uluwatu

Fly directly from Labuan Bajo (Flores) to Denpasar (Bali). The drive from the airport to Uluwatu is between 45 minutes to 1h30 depending on traffic.

• Where to Stay in Uluwatu

Uluwatu area is bigger than it looks, there is a risk of possibly booking accommodation in the middle of nowhere. The most popular and convenient areas are near Thomas Beach or Bingin Beach. There are many hotels with jaw-dropping cliff views and you’ll be close to many great restaurants (and monkeys!).

Jimbaran (1 Day)

Conveniently located just 15 minutes away from Denpasar International Airport, Jimbaran is the perfect place for your last day. Head to the vibrant local fish market in the morning, rent a sunbed on the beautiful long Jimbaran beach and enjoy one last swim. The atmosphere gets lively around sunset.

In the evening, all the restaurants set their tables on the beach and serve an amazing seafood BBQ with fresh local seafood. We recommend the Warung Mang Ayu where we had a delicious fish platter and prawn curry with reggae music in the background.

• Getting to Jimbaran

Jimbaran is only a 30-minute ride from Uluwatu – ask your hotel to book a taxi or use Grab.

• Where to Stay in Jimbaran

There are many great resorts or boutique hotels in Jimbaran near the beach.

In 7th century, Yogyakarta was the center of the Mataram Buddhist kingdom , a prosperous reign, largely based on rice cultivation thanks to the region’s fertile volcanic soil. The various bas-reliefs of its temples show the daily life of that flourishing period.  During this reign, the Borobudur Temple Temple was built, which was the largest Buddhist temple in the world.

Mysteriously, in the 10th century, the old Mataram Kingdom moved its central government.  The old headquarters, with its palaces and magnificent temples, were abandoned and partially buried by the eruption of the Merapi volcano, and by the thicket of the jungle.  Six hundred years later, the Mataram Sultanate was founded and established in the region, making Yogyakarta once again the center of government for the surrounding island.

You will go up to a high point first in the dark and, little by little, the first rays of sun give way to a huge and indescribable caldera  that makes up the entire view of the Bromo and Semeru Natural Park.

Ijen Crater

For this climb you can choose between two schedules. Either leave very early to see the blue fire (leave the hotel around 1.30am) or leave more calmly only for sunrise (around 4am). You can choose depending on how tired you are from the trip from Bromo to Ijen, you can decide the day before with your guide.  Once we pick you up from your hotel, you will head towards the village of Licin to get to the side of the volcano to start the upward slope to the crater of the volcano itself.  During this trekking, your guide will give you double filter masks to protect you from natural sulfur chemicals.

Once up, at an altitude of 2883 meters and when it begins to dawn, an incredible contrast of colors will open before your eyes.  A scene of yellow earth and a large turquoise blue lake inside the crater that contrast with a suspended white cloud that is continuously expelling the volcano.

In turn, among so much beauty you will see the locals working where it is said to be one of the hardest jobs in the world.  These miners go down to the crater of the volcano to load 80 to 100 kilos of sulfur on their shoulders and then sell it.

The walls of the temple are also adorned with Chinese porcelain plates, which are a tribute to the historical relations between the local kingdom of Bali and China.

Afterwards, we continue to Penglipuran, a town that managed to preserve its 75-hectare bamboo forest located in the northern part of town. The members of this village have a strong commitment to the system of “ayahan desa”, a philosophy committed to respecting the land on which the village sits.

After Panglipuran Village, we continue our march to reach Kintamani where we will enjoy the beautiful view of Danau Batur along with Gunung Batur in the background. Danau Batur is the largest lake in Bali that works as a source of irrigation for all the farmers around it and the use for the entire Balinese society in general.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up and we will visit the places on the fantastic route of Come2Indonesia.

Taman Ayun Temple

The first site will be the Taman Ayun Temple (it was founded in the 17th century), located in the Mengwi Village.  Until 1891, it was the seat of a powerful man who dates back to the Gelgel Dynasty, which is surrounded by a moat that looks like a sanctuary landscaped, which explains the term taman, or garden. The temple is a penyawangan or place to worship other sacred sites.

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace

From Taman Ayun, the compass heads towards Jatiluwih, where without a doubt we will admire and enjoy a beautiful view of rice terraces that cover the entire landscape of South Bali.  The name of Jatiluwih is made up of two words, Jati which means truly and Luwih which means beautiful, good, special. Without a doubt, this place not only has a beautiful name but that beauty is really reflected in its landscape.

Ulun Danu Bratan Temple

From Jatiluwih, we will go to Bedugul where we will visit the Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, the famous temple that stands in a small development located on the shore of Lake Beratan and has the beautiful landscape with the lake and the mountain as a backdrop.  It is without a doubt one of the most photogenic temples in all of Indonesia. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of waters.

Sunset at Tanah Lot

We will close the visit on this fantastic route and end the day watching the sunset at the most famous and photographed temple in Bali, the Pura Tanah Lot.  Torn from the ground on a stone pedestal sculpted by the incoming tides, the lonely black towers of the Tanah Lot and the plumes of foliage shed by the cliffs recall the delicacy of Chinese painting. The Pura Tanah Lot or the Temple of Earth in the Middle of the Sea was built in the 16th century. Then we return to the hotel.

Upon reaching the top, we can see 3 craters, which have become three lakes, of different colors. One black, one yellow and one a little purple, but the magnificent thing is that they change color, especially at dawn! Take a coat, because sometimes it is a bit cold while we wait for the sunrise.

After admiring this natural wonder, we head to Bajawa . In the vicinity of our hotel in Moni, we will be able to do some stops between the villages, where we can see how most of the women make Sarongs with the looms, in a totally traditional way.

If you wish to have a relaxing journey in Indonesia with less crowds, the shoulder months of April to June and September to October are ideal and slightly more economic.

The BEST 2 Week Bali, Gili Islands and Lombok Itinerary in 2024!

Categories Asia , Indonesia , Itinerary

Do you want to see 3 islands in 2 weeks in Indonesia? Are you wondering if you should visit Bali or the Gili islands? Well with this Bali Lombok itinerary, you can and you can visit them all !

Bali is the most popular island in Indonesia for tourists , followed by the Gili Islands which comprise of Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno.

However, these Gili Islands are not part of Bali, they are part of Lombok and they’re very close to Lombok island.

Lombok is popular for tourists because there are lots of things to do in Lombok however, tourism is not as nearly as developed as it is in Bali, which is the reason why I think you should go to Lombok on this 2 week Indonesia itinerary when you visit Bali and do this  Bali Gili Lombok itinerary!

So here’s how to see Indonesia in 2 weeks!

Bali Lombok Itinerary

Best time to visit Bali and Lombok

Both islands of Bali and Lombok have the same wet season and dry season. Wet Season is from November to March and Dry Season is from April to October. You may think that dry season sounds more appealing but this also means it is high season in Bali and Lombok during these months so it depends what you want when you’re thinking about when to visit Lombok and Bali.

Personally, I’d recommend the shoulder months as the best time to visit Bali and Lombok – November, December and April bring less rain and also fewer tourists! Win win.

Map of places to visit in Bali and Lombok

Bali Itinerary

Day 1 – fly into bali airport (ngurah rai international airport). transfer to southern beaches, places to visit in bali.

Bali has one airport and it is well located for the Southern beaches in Bali which are also the most popular beaches in Bali, so this is where I recommend you go first.

There are many beaches in Bali to choose from and with 1 week in Bali on this Bali itinerary, you will need to pick one beach and explore from there.

I suggest pre-booking a taxi service like this from the airport to where you’ll stay in Bali so you don’t get ripped off by taxi’s outside and it’s hard to get Grabs and Ubers from the airport.

If you want cool cafes and good waves, head to Canggu which is popular with digital nomads and is one of the best places to stay in Bali.

If you want shops and big nights out, head to Kuta  or Seminyak which are popular for holidaymakers, especially Australians and therefore is the best place to stay on holiday in Bali.

If you want quiet beaches and culture, head to Uluwatu which is home to lots of temples and famous for its sunset.

PLANNING YOUR GILI ISLANDS TRIP

I lived on Gili Trawangan island for 6 months so I know it well! Here are my top posts to help you plan your trip:

• 30 TOP Things to do on Gili Trawangan !
• 3 Day Gili Trawangan Itinerary !
• 2 Week Gili Islands, Bali and Lombok itinerary !
• How to get around Gili T, Gili Air and Gili Meno by Boat ! Where to stay in Gili Trawangan – Best Hotels, Hostels & Villas !

Where to stay in Bali?

This will depend on which area along the coast of Bali you decide to stay on this itinerary for Bali. There are lots and lots of hostels if you are on a budget in Bali or travelling to Bali solo.

There are also many mid-range guesthouses, homestays and hotels as well as high-end resorts in Bali, there is no shortage of accommodation in Bali .

I recommend looking on Booking.com for your Bali accommodation.

Day 2 & 3 – Explore Bali

Things to do in bali.

From your base, you can explore more of Bali and the Southern beaches in particular. Surfing is one of the top things to do in Bali because most of the beaches have great waves and waves that are good for beginners.

Bali’s cafe culture and food scene are well known for a reason so be sure to visit some of the best cafes in Bali. My favourite cafe in Canguu is The Loft and Crumb and Coaster cafe in Kuta.

The best thing about Bali is that you can see a lot on a Bali day trip too, so if you want to see some famous places like the island of Nusa Penida or go on an Instagram tour to Balinese Gates, Birds Nests and Rice Terraces, check out t hese day tours of Bali:

However, be sure not to do a day tour that goes close to Ubud or includes places to see in Ubud, as Ubud is where I recommend you go next on this best Bali itinerary.

Day 4 – Travel to Ubud

Day 5 & 6 – explore ubud, things to do in ubud.

The best way to see Ubud and visit the many places to see in Ubud and places near Ubud is to go on a day tour. A day tour from Ubud will include stops at the rice terraces, temples and markets . One of these Ubud day tours will be perfect :

Climbing Mount Batur at Sunrise is number one in the things to do in Ubud, you can do it from elsewhere in Bali but Ubud is closer meaning you don’t have to get up as early. Be sure to look into one of these Mount Batur Sunrise tours :

Ubud is the home of yoga and meditation in Bali so be sure to try and take a yoga lesson , enjoy the healthy food, especially at the Vegan and Vegetarian restaurants.

If you want to head to a unique cafe in Ubud and have a unique experience in Ubud, I recommend these local restaurants in Ubud and TIS Cafe Ubud which are next to the very famous and popular Tegalalang Rice Terraces, these are the top places to visit in Ubud but at TIS Cafe you get to go in an infinity pool overlooking the rice terraces rather than watching hundreds of tourists walk through them!

Gili Islands Itinerary

Day 7 – travel to the gili islands, places to visit in gili islands.

To start your Bali itinerary including Gili islands. From Ubud, you can easily book a bus and boat from Ubud to the Gili Islands which involves taking a car or bus to Padang Bai harbour and the boat over to the Gili Islands. I really recommend the company Eka Jaya as their boat is the comfiest. You can book an Eka Jaya Boat on 12GO Asia from Padang Bai but you’ll need to get yourself to the harbour. This whole journey will take around 4 hours so I suggest you leave early in the morning so you can make the most of your Gili islands 3 day itinerary .

Which is the best Gili island to visit? There are 3 Gili Islands – Gili Trawangan, most commonly known as Gili T, Gili Air and Gili Meno, and no visit to Bali is complete without doing a Bali itinerary including the Gili Islands.

Gili T is the most popular of the Gili islands with the most things to do and the most going on. It’s known for its partying and diving but it offers a lot more than that! For example, here is my blog post with 30 THINGS TO DO ON GILI T FOR EVERYONE!

However, Gili Air is also very popular, particularly with honeymooners and couples who want a slightly quieter island. Gili Meno is good but it is very quiet.

Personally, I recommend you visit Gili T or Gili Air and with this 2 week Bali and Gili Island itinerary, I recommend basing yourself in just 1 island rather than trying to stay on them all!

However, if you’re just looking for a Bali and Gili islands 2-week itinerary without going over to the mainland of Lombok, you could spend 1 week in the Gili islands and island-hop.

Where to stay in the Gili Islands?

If you’re going to stay on Gili T, here’s my accommodation guide for the best places to stay in Gili Trawangan , including hostels, bungalows, beach resorts and villas.

Again, Booking.com offers lots of accommodation in the Gili Islands including many private villas with swimming pools .

Day 8 & 9  – Explore the Gili Islands

Getting in the crystal clear water is one of the best things to do in the Gili islands so be sure to go out snorkeling or diving on this Bali Lombok itinerary!

Hiring a bike is the best way to see Gili T and you can cycle around the island in just a few hours. Be sure to look out for the Instagram famous Gili Swings .

Come evening, be sure to watch the sunset  on this Gili islands itinerary. The Gili islands are known for their sunsets and then head out for a drink to see some live music on the beach or get ready for a big night out because the nightlife in Gili T is famous!

If you want to see more than one Gili island during this part of your Gili Islands itinerary, you can easily t ake a day trip to another island by getting the boat between them. Here’s my post on how to get around the 3 Gili islands!

Moving onto your Lombok and Gili islands itinerary. There are regular boats leaving all 3 Gili islands to Lombok, the best thing to do is to get a local boat from Gili T to Lombok early in the morning as this is the cheapest option and only takes 20 minutes. The pier in Lombok is called Bangsal Harbour .

From Bangsal, head slightly South staying along the West coast to Klui or Senggigi. You can prebook a car from Bangsal Harbour to Senggigi here .

If you want to stay in a really quiet place with a nice, wild beach, perfect for surfing, stay in Klui.  I recommend staying at Diva Lombok Resort  or Jeeva Klui Resort as the best hotel in Klui.

If you want to stay somewhere with a holidaymaker feel to it with more hotels, restaurants and bars, but still with a nice beach, stay in Senggigi . 

This area of Lombok is quiet but it’s worth seeing for one day which is why I suggest it in this itinerary for Lombok. Out of the many things to do in Lombok, surfing is number one! If you want a surf lesson, go see my friends at Lombok Wave Surf Shack  in Klui for a lesson and a sunset chill, these are the best things to do in Klui and best things to do in Senggigi.

Related Post: Here’s my full blog post on things to do in Senggigi and Klui Beach !

Day 11 – Travel to Kuta in Lombok

From Klui or Senggigi head down to the South of Lombok. Southern Lombok is the best place to visit in Lombok for tourists I think due to how many amazing beaches there are and how well it’s catered for tourists, but it is not yet overdeveloped.

If you are looking for a Bali Lombok itinerary for 10 days, instead of going down to Kuta, you could fly from Lombok Airport on this day.

Where to stay in Kuta Lombok?

Once in South Lombok, I recommend Kuta   Lombok as the best place to stay on this Bali Lombok itinerary because the town offers plenty of accommodation, restaurants, tour agencies and Kuta beach is within walking distance. Pipes Hostel is a really great hostel in Kuta Lombok and you should stay there on this backpacking Lombok itinerary.

However, if you want to stay in a quiet beach village I recommend Selong Belank .

Booking.com is the best place to look for accommodation in Kuta, there are lots of options for all budgets.

GETTING FROM BALI TO THE GILI ISLANDS

There is only one way to get from Bali to the Gili Islands and that’s my fast boat from Padang Bay.

You can wait until you arrive to book your boat or be organised and book it in advance here. Booking in advance is especially good during the summer and Christmas months!

Day 12 & 13 – Explore South Lombok

Things to do in kuta lombok.

If you are confident in riding a moped , this is by far the best way to get around Lombok and see all of the places near Kuta Lombok.

As mentioned, surfing is one of the top things to do in Lombok and South Lombok is no different, you can go surfing on Kuta Beach and Selong Belank Beach . 

However, for a unique surfing experience, head to Gerupuk where you take a boat out into the ocean and surf in the middle of the sea , it’s such a cool experience and tourist attraction in Lombok.

As for more beaches to visit near Kuta and the best beaches in Lombok,  Tanjung Aan Beach is a beautiful white sand beach and you should stick around for sunset and head up Merese Hill for sunset . The beaches are where you should head in Lombok during your Lombok itinerary 1 week.

Day 14 – Fly out of Lombok Airport

Lombok Praya International Airport is just 30 minutes away from Kuta in Lombok and you can book a transfer car to the airport here or once you are in Kuta. Lombok Airport and it is well connected to cities in Australia and South East Asia so I would recommend looking at flights on Skyscanner from here to finish your 2 week Indonesia itinerary and this Bali Lombok itinerary!

If there are no flights from Lombok to where you want to go, or it’s better to book return flights from Bali, you can get cheap, internal flights from Lombok to Bali and then fly from Bali. The flight is only 45 minutes.

If you have longer to spend in Indonesia and you’re looking for a 3 week Bali and Lombok itinerary, I recommend you head into Central and North Lombok and spend an extra 1 week in Lombok there, or you could look into a Java, Bali and Lombok itinerary and spend 1 week in Java flying from Lombok over to Java .

I hope you found this 2-week itinerary for Indonesia helpful and by following this you really will see the best of Bali and Lombok in one trip!

Indonesia Two Week Itinerary – Java to Flores Without Flying

Share this post with others

Itinerary Indonesia 2 weeks with map: You wonder where to go in your two weeks in Indonesia (and we don't mean just Bali)? Our indonesia trip plan shows you how to travel Java, Bali, the Gili islands, Lombok, the Komodo National Park, and Flores in just 14 days.

Our Indonesia backpacking route has some serious Indonesia island hopping in store for you. We have extended the typical backpacking Java, Bali, Lombok itinerary to include

• the Gili Islands
• the Komodo National Park

We have actually managed to see all these places during 2 weeks in Indonesia and so can you!

Our fast paced Indonesia travel itinerary relies completely on public transport: buses, trains, boats, and the occasional taxi - all without any inland flights!

Backpacking Indonesia Itinerary 14 Days

Indonesia travel route day 1 – arrival in yogyakarta, indonesia travel route day 2 – day trip to borobudur and prambanan temples from yogyakarta, indonesia travel route day 3 – train from yogyakarta to probolinggo, indonesia travel route day 4 – day trip bromo volcano from probolinggo, optional: tumpak sewu waterfall, indonesia travel route day 5 – day trip ijen volcano from banyuwangi, bali itinerary, indonesia travel route day 6 – explore ubud and its surroundings, indonesia travel route day 7 – bali to lombok, optional: gili islands, indonesia travel route day 8 – day trip to the secret gilis from sekotong, lombok, indonesia travel route day 9 - 12 boat trip to flores via komodo national park, indonesia travel route day 13 – labuan bajo, java indonesia itinerary.

Arrive in Yogyakarta, settle in and take in the atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this city and the Taman Sari Water Castle is a real hidden gem.

In the evening, go to Malioboro Stree t where you'll find a lively night market full of super delicious food stalls as well as clothes and probably the cheapest souvenirs you'll find on this whole trip. Enjoy some street food and your first Bintang beer.

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. And while its sheer size is impressive, there are also plenty of details to explore, like the stupas and Buddhas on top and some intricate rock carvings. Additionally, the views are amazing.

Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia and we're sure that it's equally as impressive and shouldn't be missed on your Indonesia travels.

How to get from Yogyakarta to Borobudur and Prambanan

If you only have a limited amount of time, don't repeat our mistake to try and take local buses . Yes, it's possible but it's time-consuming and they sometimes break down altogether (we write this from experience). If you want to see both of these amazing temples in one day, take a tour. They are not expensive and you can make the best of your limited time!

The next stop on this itinerary is Probolinggo because it's the perfect base to explore the Bromo volcano. It might seem excessive to dedicate a whole day of your limited time to a train journey but you'll need it. The ride itself takes at least 7 hours and is a super interesting experience in itself. And trust us: You want this day of rest before the next two days that are about to come.

How to get from Yogyakarta to Probolinggo with public transport

There are several trains from Yogyakarta to Probolinggo. Just go to the station and buy your ticket. Currently, the best option seems to be the direct train leaving at 11:15 am and arriving at 6:19 pm.

Again, if you have a limited amount of time, you want to take a tour to explore the Bromo Volcano . It's possible to do this self-guided with a scooter, but it's going to take more time. Our guided tour was amazing. You'll get up in the dark to drive to a viewpoint and see the sunrise over the volcano. This might be the best picture spot we've ever been to. Afterwards, you drive through the caldera and make the short climb to the crater rim. If you are early and a fast walker you can leave the other tourists behind. Standing on the edge and looking down into an active volcano is an indescribable feeling. But beware, the rim might be a bit disconcerting if you are scared of heights.

Because this tour is a morning activity, you can hop on another train in the afternoon to Banyuwangi, the perfect base to explore the Ijen volcano. Make sure to get a good night's rest because this next hike is going to be tough.

Travel Guides

Bromo or Ijen – Which Volcano Should You Visit?

Comprehensive Bromo vs. Ijen guide. Including how to visit – independent and with a tour.

How to get from Probolinggo to Banyuwangi with public transport

The train journey from Probolinggo to Banyuwangi takes roughly four hours. Although there are several direct trains per day, the 3:42 pm train currently seems to be the best option.

If you have a day to spare visit the super instagrammable Tumpak Sewu waterfall. It's on the south coast of Java, opposite Probolinggo. Apparently, the way down is quite a hike but it seems to be quite worth it to see the several streams of water flowing down a cliff edge with a volcano in the distance.

Book a guided tour to the Ijen Volcano . You want to have a gas mask with you. And we don't assume that it's part of your regular travel gear. You'll leave in the middle of the night because the ascend begins at 1 am. You want to be in the crater before sunrise to see the unique blue flames! Don't underestimate this hike. Some people don't make it and you can even let yourself be pulled and pushed up the hill by several porters.

After you make it to the rim you'll start your descent into the crater. Here you'll see the famous blue flame. The colour originates from the sulphur, which is still actively mined in this volcano. To see the porters carry 80 kg (175 lbs) of sulphur and more up this steep mountain is awe-inspiring. And they do this several times a day! When the sun goes up you will be able to see the highly acidic crater lake. Once you make it back up to the rim, you can see the amazing views which you missed on your ascend during the pitch-black night.

Because this is a morning activity again, you can make your way to Bali in the afternoon.

Mount Ijen Tour – Our Honest Review

Seeing the blue flames of Mt. Ijen was a major bucketlist item for us. Can we recommend a Mount Ijen tour or not?

How to get from Banyuwangi, Java to Ubud, Bali with public transport

The ferry to Bali leaves from Banyuwangi and a bus will take you from Gilimanuk on Bali to Mengwi, from where you can take a quick taxi to Ubud. The journey should take around 5 hours.

Bali Indonesia Itinerary

We chose Ubud as a place to stay on Bali because it's central and there will be plenty of beaches waiting for you in the days to come. This is not a Bali guide, there a plenty of those online already. Instead, we'll give you a few of our must-dos.

We loved exploring Ubud with the instagrammable vegan restaurants and its beautiful temples, like the Saraswati water temple. In Ubud's surrounding, our favourites were of course the Tegallalang rice terraces and the Tirta Empul Temple.

On Bali, there are so many temples and waterfalls to visit, just pick the ones that sound most appealing to you! Of course, you can prolong your stay on Bali to your heart's content if you do have the time.

Lombok or Bali – Which Island is Better to Visit?

Should you visit Bali or Lombok? Our comprehensive comparison shows the main differences and similarities of Bali and Lombok.

Today, take the ferry from Bali to Lombok.

How to get from Ubud, Bali to Sekotong, Lombok with public transport

First, you need to take a taxi to Padang Bai.

If you don't plan to visit the Gili Islands, we advise you to take the local ferry to Lembar on Lombok, because it will bring you closer to your next destination Sekotong in southern Lombok.

If you do plan to visit the Gili Islands, there are speed boats readily available.

From Lembar, you will have to take another taxi. The taxi drivers there are quite aggressive. As the whole journey should take you around 5 hours, try to arrive in Lombok during the daylight hours.

How to Get to Lombok from Bali –Ferry or Fast Boat?

You wonder whether you should go from Bali to Lombok by ferry or by fast boat? Our quick Bali to Lombok Island by boat guide has got you covered!

Lombok Indonesia Itinerary

If you do decide to visit the Gili Islands, there are three options:

• The party island Gili Trawangan.
• The quieter Gili Air.
• The romantic Gili Meno.

There are plenty of guides out there on the Gili islands.

We on the other hand have a different idea for your trip: the secret Gilis – a less touristy alternative to the three main Gili islands.

The Secret Gilis are a group of small islands off the coast of Sekotong, Lombok. Most of the islands are uninhabited but some do feature guesthouses. If you do have time to spare, spend a night on one of the islands. But they are also great for a day trip. The snorkelling we've done in this area was among the best we have ever done. You'll see plenty of soft corals and have a good chance to find a turtle or two. The beaches are beautiful and more often than not you'll have them all to yourself.

How to Get to the Secret Gilis from Sekotong, Lombok

The best way to go to the Secret Gilis from Lombok is by an island hopping tour:

Complete Secret Gilis Travel Guide (2023)

We loved our time in the Secret Gilis, Indonesia, and so will you – whether you opt for a day trip or an overnight stay to get off-the-beaten path!

Komodo Islands itinerary

This is where the real adventure of your trip starts. There are plenty of mixed reviews of this boat tour online and we advise you to read a couple of them before you decide to do this trip. Our journey was incredibly choppy, even the captain didn't come out of his cabin for a day because he was feeling unwell.

The boat leaves in Lombok in the afternoon and you'll watch the sunset on one of the small islands off the coast of Sumbawa. On the next day, you'll visit the beautiful waterfall on Moyo Island .

Day three is where the adventure begins. You'll visit Komodo Island where you'll get a first glimpse of the majestic Komodo Dragons. Afterwards, you'll visit Pulau Padar with the amazing pink beach (yes, it's really pink) and the Instagram-famous viewpoint.

On day four, grab the opportunity to visit the Komodo Dragons again on the island of Rinca . When we were there, we saw fewer tourists and more Komodo Dragons. Do opt for the longest hike, trust us, it's worth it! Afterwards, you'll go to Manta Point to try and find these majestic ocean dwellers.

In the evening, you'll be dropped off in Labuan Bajo . Our recommendation is to visit the local fish market for dinner, where you can gorge yourself on fresh fish for reasonable prices.

How to get from Sekotong, Lombok to the Komodo islands

The tours normally leave in the Mataram / Senggigi area so you have to make your way there first. A bus will pick you up and bring you to the dock. From here, you can try and enjoy 550 km ( 350 mi) trip along the course of 4 days / 3 nights.

Lombok to Komodo Boat Trip – Our Experience

We took the boat from Lombok to Flores. This is our honest review.

Flores Indonesia Itinerary

Today, explore the surrounding of Labuan Bajo. Don't miss the stunning Gua Rangko Cave , which you can only reach by boat. Additionally, there are some great waterfalls like the Cunca Wulang Waterfall and great viewpoints like the Bukit Amelia Sea View .

If you're not ready to fly home just yet, you can travel further east on Flores and explore the traditional village Wae Rebo and the three coloured lakes of the Kelimutu volcano.

How to Get to Banyuwangi from Bali

Best hotels in banyuwangi, east java, best hotels in malang, east java, best hotels in yogyakarta, central java, no time to read now pin it.

Where is Java, Indonesia?

Java is an island located in Indonesia between Sumatra and Bali. Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is located on the northwest coast of Java.

How to Get to Java from Bali

Getting to Java Island may seem difficult, but depending on your time and budget, there are a few ways to get there. You can easily get to Java from Bali by ferry or plane.

The plane is the most comfortable and fastest way to get to Java!

Java has several airports. There are many international flights from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur and domestic flights from other parts of Indonesia, such as Jakarta and Bali.

Buy an eSIM and data package for Indonesia.

From Bali, you can fly to Java from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (airport code DPS).

The flight takes just 1-1.5 hours, and plane tickets start from 30-40 USD (without luggage) per person for one way.

TIP Use Skyscanner to find cheap flights to Java, Indonesia.

If you follow our Java Itinerary, the easiest way to get to Java from Bali is by ferry. We have a detailed post on  how to get to Java  with all the information you need.

Best Time to Visit Java

Indonesia has two seasons: a dry season and a rainy season.

Java is a popular destination all year round!  But the best time to visit Java is during the dry season, from May to October.

The weather is sunny and dry during these months, perfect for sightseeing, hiking, and exploring the Java attractions.

Java Island has a tropical climate, hot and humid, and the average temperature is 27°C all year round. However, we recommend you pack warm clothes for the Mount Bromo and  Kawah Ijen  volcano tour.

The busiest time to visit Java is between July and August.

The rainy season in Java runs from November to April. We did this Java Itinerary in May.

TIP In high season, we strongly recommend booking accommodation and tours in advance!

Java Itinerary: Central and East Java Route

You can easily modify our Java Travel Itinerary to extend or reduce the days.

Day 1: Arrive in Banyuwangi – East Java Itinerary

Welcome to Java! We hope you had a great ferry journey and are ready to explore Java Island.

Banyuwangi is the perfect place to start your East Java Itinerary. Depending on when you arrive in Banyuwangi, you can choose to start exploring the town or relax at the accommodation.

We rented a motorbike for the next day. After that, we checked into a hotel where we could sleep for a few hours before the trek. Then, at midnight, we started our tour by motorbike to Mount Ijen Volcano.

TIP Make the most of your experience by visiting the Ijen and Mt Bromo volcanoes on a  3-day tour from Bali.

The easiest way to get from Bali to Java is to travel from Gilimanuk Harbour to the Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi.

The ferry departs approximately every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So there is no need to book in advance!

The boat ticket is only 13,000 IDR (0.85 USD) per person, and the journey takes approximately 30-60 minutes.

Once you arrive at Ketapang Ferry Port, you can reach Banyuwangi in about 20 minutes by taxi.

Recommended post → How to Get from Bali to Java

Day 2: Mount Ijen Crater Tour – A highlight of your Java Itinerary

Mount Ijen hike is a must-do in Indonesia, so you can’t miss it on your Java Itinerary. Kawah Ijen is an active volcano in East Java, and on your tour, you can see the world’s largest acidic lake and the famous Blue Fire.

The public transport in Banyuwangi is limited, so the best way to reach the Kawah Ijen Volcano is to rent a motorbike or join an organized tour.

The journey takes about 1 hour from Banyuwangi to Mount Ijen. If you want to see the famous Blue Fire, we recommend you arrive at 1 AM.

Important note Due to volcanic activity, you can only start hiking at 4 AM, and it is not allowed to descend to the lake. Therefore, the natural phenomenon of electric Blue Flame at Kawah Ijen is unfortunately not visible. You should check for up-to-date information before you travel!

Once you arrive, you can buy your entrance ticket and rent a headlamp, gas mask, or warm clothes. It takes 1.5-2 hours to get from the parking lot to the Mount Ijen Crater Rim.

If you don’t want to do the Kawah Ijen hike independently, we recommend booking your tour via GetYourGuide.

After the tour, have breakfast, return to your accommodation, and spend the day relaxing. But if time is limited, you can continue your Java Itinerary and travel to Malang by private driver or taxi.

The trains only run in the early morning hours between Banyuwangi and Malang, so we recommend traveling onwards the next day. Book your train tickets  HERE.

We decided to relax and spent 2 nights in Banyuwangi.

Read the full post → How to Climb Kawah Ijen Volcano

Where to Stay in Banyuwangi

Banyuwangi is a town in East Java and the gateway to the Ijen volcano for hikers.

If you want to make the most of your trek, you can camp at the Kawah Ijen.  The camping fee is just 5,000 IDR (0,35 USD).

You can spend 1-2 days in Banyuwangi, these are our accommodation recommendations.

• Mid-Range:   Aston Banyuwangi Hotel  or  eL Hotel Banyuwangi
• Budget:   Banana Homestay

Day 3: Travel to Malang and Visit Jodipan Colorful Village

Good morning! It’s time to continue your East Java Itinerary! Check out from your accommodation and travel by train to Malang.

The distance between Banyuwangi and Malang is 305 km, and the travel time is approximately 7 hours. As the journey is long, we recommend you bring water and some snacks.

From Banyuwangi to Malang, train tickets start from 62,000 IDR (4 USD) per person. The train is the cheapest way to travel in the Java itinerary.

TIP You can easily buy train tickets at the Ketapang railway station, but we recommend booking online with 12Go!

The Best of Java in 7 days: Java To Bali Trip Itinerary

Leaving from...

Going to...

Java to Bali trip itinerary

After seeing Yogyakarta, many travellers visit Mount Bromo, an active volcano in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. However, fewer include a stop at Ijen and even fewer travellers visit the Sewu waterfalls in the east of Java.

That’s a big shame. The Ijen volcano is one of the most spectacular sights to visit in Indonesia and the Sewu waterfall are famed as the most beautiful waterfall in all of Indonesia.

A reason not so many travellers include the Ijen and Sewu waterfall in their trip itinerary is that it can be overwhelming to plan a trip with all these stops.

And that’s exactly what you are going to find out in this post. We have done the research for you, which means you can just follow our guide on how to get from Java to Bali and see the best of Java along the way.

With all these highlights, this trip is for many travellers the most enjoyable part of their entire trip to Indonesia!

The destinations we will cover are:

Destination #1: Yogyakarta

As the heart of Javanese culture, we think there’s no better place to begin your journey than Yogyakarta.

Also fondly known as Yogya or Jogja, this vibrant city is the only one in Indonesia still ruled by a monarch — a Sultan to be specific. That alone is a testament to how much Yogya values its history and culture.

How to get to Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta has its own international airport, but not a lot of countries have direct flights to Jogja. If you’re coming from outside Indonesia, your most probable entry point is Jakarta.

From the capital, you can you can take the train for 6-9 hours, a flight for 3 hours (including transfers), and the bus for 10.5-16 hours. Fares start at 175,000 IDR ($11).

See here a more detailed description of the route from Jakarta to Yogyakarta .

Destination #2: Mount Bromo

Mount Bromo boasts of a view that is out of this world. Sitting on the Tengger caldera with its top blown off and its crater continuously smoking with white sulphur — it’s a lunar landscape that will take your breath away, especially at sunrise.

No wonder it is one of the most hiked volcanoes in Indonesia. Another reason why it’s so popular is that it’s quite relatively accessible with less than 1-hour hiking.

PRO TIP: It can get really chilly on your way up as you wait for the sun to rise. Temperatures can get as low as 5°C. It’s best to wear a sweater and jacket that can protect you from the cold and the wind, but nothing too thick for innerwear — It gets really hot as soon as the sun is up! Don’t have a warm jacket with you? No problem, it’s easy to rent a jacket for just a couple of dollars as soon as you get out of the jeep.

How to get to Mount Bromo

It all depends on where your base camp is! The basecamps you can choose from when visiting Mount Bromo are: Malang, Surabaya, Probolinggo and Cemoro Lawang. We’ve written a more detailed guide about which Bromo basecamp to choose.

For the purpose of this itinerary, we will focus on Malang because it is also the most accessible gateway point when visiting the next destination, which is Sewu Waterfalls. To get from Yogyakarta to Malang, you can take an 8-hour train for 114,000 IDR ($7) or a 6-hour bus for 300,000 IDR ($18.30).

From Malang, you can arrange a private jeep through your hotel to get you to the foot of Mount Bromo. Alternatively, you can book a Bromo sunrise tour with Klook . Rates start from 620,000 IDR ($38).

PRO TIP: In this Java to Bali itinerary, we describe the DIY version to visit Bromo, Sewu and Ijen, but in all honesty, it requires quite a bit of planning. To travel with more ease, you can also book one of the tour packages described in this post about how to visit mount Bromo .

Destination #3: Sewu Waterfalls

Sewu Waterfalls are most commonly known as Tumpak Sewu, which means “a thousand waterfalls”. Not that there are really a thousand waterfalls here, but it surely looks like that when you look at its majesty!

From the entrance of the park, your first stop will be the Tumpak Sewu viewpoint. That’s just a 10-minute walk. From here, you can get a view of Sewu Waterfalls in all its glory. Backdropped by the highest mountain in Java, Mount Semeru, it’s truly a sight to behold.

POR TIP: For a more magical experience, get here early in the morning, even before sunrise. The fog adds a dreamy element that makes for some of the best photos of this multi-tiered waterfall.

From the viewpoint, you can reach the bottom via a 30 to 40-minute walk. The trail is pretty safe, but definitely requires some courage and upper-body strength. You’ll be passing by bamboo ladders, slippery rocks, and makeshift bridges. Definitely wear sandals or trekking shoes. Flip-flops are a no-go.

You can’t really swim at the basin, and you won’t have to — the power and strength of the waterfalls around you will be enough to make you feel rejuvenated.

For its grandness, Sewu Waterfalls is still a relatively unknown destination. If you are already making your way from Java to Bali, we really think you shouldn’t miss the chance to see what we think is the most beautiful waterfall in Indonesia.

How to get to Sewu waterfall?

From Malang, it’s about a 2-hour drive to get to Tumbak Sewu. we described it in more detail in our post about how to visit the Sewu waterfalls .

Destination #4: Mount Ijen

Ijen Volcano, or Kawah Ijen, is one of Java’s most unique destinations because it houses the world’s largest acidic volcanic lake. Its crater glows a beautiful turquoise emitting electric blue flames. These flames are especially beautiful at night.

It’s best to arrive at the crater a few hours before dawn. And just when you think the magic show is over, the sun slowly rises and displays the most enthralling backdrop to Ijen Lake.

Note that you will need a gas mask as you near the crater because the high level of sulfur can be toxic (and smelly). Don’t worry if you don’t have one. Gas masks are available for rent for around 50,000 IDR ($3) and are mostly included in the tour.

Apart from being a tourist destination, Kawah Ijen is also a fully commercial volcano. You’ll see locals hard at work at the crater, collecting sulphur deposits and bringing them down the mountain. Some try to sell small sculpted rocks to visitors, which is a great way for the miners to earn a little extra.

How to get to Mount Ijen

The most common base camp to Mount Ijen is Banyuwangi, Java’s easternmost town. If you visited Sewu before going to Ijen, we recommend taking the southern train route and taking the train from Jember station to Banyuwangi .

If you stayed in any of the other basecamps and didn’t visit Sewu before continuing to Bromo, you can find the exact route details for the northern route to Banyuwangi in this route guide from Bromo to Ijen .

Destination #5: Bali

Bali is an island paradise with a compelling mix of nature and culture. It is a constant item on many travellers’ bucket lists for the famous Balinese culture, sandy beaches, rice terraces and age-old temples.

It has a laidback vibe, also making it a go-to destination for surfers and digital nomads. The beach towns on the west coast of Bali like Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu are the most tourist destinations but if you want to visit the best beaches of Bali, you have to visit the south.

There is the famed art heritage of Ubud, miles of rolling paddy fields, hidden waterfalls and volcanoes to hike. Bali is also a great base to explore the many offshore islands such as Nusa Penida or a side trip to neighbour island Lombok.

How to get to Bali

From Banyuwangi, you can get to Bali by ferry, and then continue to your destination by taxi or bus.

The ferry to Bali leaves from Ketapang station to which you can either take a taxi, or a train from Karangasem Station in the city centre. A ticket costs around 43,000 IDR ($2.60) and travel time is 20 minutes. From Ketapang station, the harbour is just 10 minutes away on foot.

Next, take a ferry from Ketapang Harbour to Gilimanuk Harbour on Bali Island’s western coast. Ferries are available 24 hours and a ticket costs 10,000 IDR ($0.60) for the 45-minute journey.

TIP: Relax and unwind at Sumberkima Hill Retreat

Once you arrive in Bali, you can take a bus or taxi to the island’s most popular destinations like Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, or Uluwatu. We’ll discuss these options below, but first, we want to introduce a new idea: take a few days to rest at Sumberkima Hill Retreat.

The itinerary we shared above will likely be one of the highlights of your trip to Indonesia, as you’ll visit some of Java’s most incredible places in less than a week. This includes several sunrise tours, but also plus 8-hour journeys to reach your next destination.

Experience True Peace at Sumberkima Village

Now imagine yourself relaxing by a gorgeous swimming pool, taking in views of Mount Ijen (and possibly Bromo on a clear day) after this intense trip. That’s exactly what you can do at Sumberkima Hill Retreat .

Forget about busy traffic or street vendors at every corner; Sumberkima is a quiet little village located on Bali’s northwest coast, just a 30-minute drive from the harbour where boats from Java arrive. It’s a relatively new destination for travellers to Bali, and that’s what makes it so unique.

There are not many accommodations, but if you choose to stay here, we highly recommend booking two or three nights at Sumberkima Hill retreat. They offer bungalows for very reasonable prices. Prices range from 800,000 IDR ($49) per room for 2 person bungalow, up to 4,500,000 IDR ($275) for a 6-person villa. All bungalows and villas are amazing in their own way, and no matter which room you book, you’ll always have access to all their common facilities.

This includes transportation via an electric golf cart to their stunning swimming pools or on-site restaurants. The pools are truly spectacular, and on a clear day, you can see the sun setting behind the Ijen volcano. They also offer several nearby activities, like visiting a stunning white sand beach strip , snorkelling tours, or hiking the Sumberkima Hills.

The best part is that you won’t need to leave the retreat at all, as they offer everything you need — including room service. For me and my family, this was the perfect way to rest for a few days after our East Java itinerary, and I highly recommend this stay to anyone.

How to get to Sumberkima?

When arriving from Java, all boats dock at Gilimanuk, which is just a 30 to 40-minute drive to Sumberkima Hill Retreat. You can easily find a taxi at the harbour for around 0 IDR ($0), or arrange a pickup with Sumberkima Hill Retreat directly.

How to continue your trip through Bali from Sumberkima

After our stay at Sumberkima, we booked a private driver who took us to the Jatiluwih rice terraces, with a stop at the stunning Munduk waterfalls en route. Munduk is a picturesque valley in northern Bali, home to some of the island’s most impressive waterfalls.

A 2-3 hour trek allows you to visit four waterfalls, making it an ideal stop on the way to Jatiluwih. Additionally, there’s a fantastic eco-restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious lunch while admiring the jungle views.

After the trek, our driver, Putu, drove us to Jatiluwih where we arrived at night. Waking up the day after in this guesthouse , with a view on never-ending views of lush, rolling rice paddies, was just a dream (TIP: Book first floor).

Interested in making the same trip? Our driver, Putu, is truly exceptional. His extensive knowledge of Bali’s history made the day fly by and provided an excellent introduction to Bali’s culture following our Java visit. You can reach out to him you can contact him here via Whatsapp .

From Gilimanuk to other destinations in Bali

Gilimanuk Port is located all the way in northwest of Bali. From here, it’s still a 3-hour drive to Canggu, 3.5-hour to Ubud and more than 4.5-hour drive to Uluwatu.

If you are heading to any of these destinations, you can choose between taking a taxi directly to your destination or taking the bus to Denpasar or Mengiwi.

If you have the budget for it, it’s possible to take a taxi from Gilimanuk Terminal all the way to your Bali destination. Expect to pay close to 1,000,000 IDR ($61) for popular destinations like Canggu, Seminyak or Ubud.

By Bus to Denpasar

From the port, Gilimanuk Bus Terminal is a just 10-minute walk. Here, you can take a bus going to Terminal Ubung in Denpasar. Tickets cost 50,000 IDR ($3) for the 3.5 to 4.5-hour bus ride.

You can then take a taxi from Terminal Ubung to your hotel in Bali. Expect to pay around 70,000 IDR ($4.30) – 100,000 IDR ($6.10) to Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu.

Bus schedule from Gilimanuk to Denpasar

By bus to mengwi.

There are also buses from Gilimanuk to Mengwi Bus Terminal , which is more or less between Ubud and Canggu. A ticket costs around 65,000 IDR ($4) for the 3-hour bus ride. However, the last time we checked (March 2023), we couldn’t confirm the bus schedule for this route.

From Mengwi, you can book a Grab taxi to Ubud for around 50,000 IDR ($3), Canggu 80,000 IDR ($4.90) or Kuta for around 145,000 IDR ($8.80). The drive to Canggu and Ubud will take about 30-45 minutes and about 1 hour to Kuta.

Alternatively, you can pre-book the Perama Tour bus from Mengwi to Kuta with rates from 120,000 IDR ($7.30) on 12Go.Asia .

PRO TIP: Heading to northern Bali? From Gilimanuk, there is a direct bus service to Singaraja in North Bali. This passes through the main beach resort area of Lovina. Fares are from 45,000 IDR ($2.70) and it takes about 1.5 hours.

Excelente información,yo viajo con amigos de bali a yoyakarta por tierra en 2 días mas 1 día para yoyakarta serías tan amable de indicarme donde debería parar para descanzar.Queremos conocer Monte Bromo,Ijen,pueblos de colores,Málagan y si queda algún templo en el camino.Desde ya muchas gracias Ana

Hi Ana, thanks for your comment. It sounds like I’m talking to a very ambitious traveler here! Unfortunately, I have to share that 2D1N is a bit too ambitious tho! Also, both Bromo and Ijen are best visited at night so I would really recommend spending at least 2 nights in east Java.

That’s why I would also recommend following the itinerary explained in this post, and visiting the Sewu waterfalls as an extra stop. It will require careful planning, but it will be two incredible days. You could also look for a driver in Malang who can bring you all the way to an accommodation in Ijen. This can go a bit quicker as you can take a more straightforward route than with the train.

Oh and temples, are not really that common as far as I know in east Java because Islam is the main religion. But don’t worry, in Bali you’ll find plenty, in particular around Ubud.

I know it’s tempting to rush your way to Bali, but taking one extra day for East Java is 100% worth it.

Have an amazing trip!

Bonjour, votre blog est génial ! petite question : est-il possible de faire Bromo et Tumpak Sewu le meme jour ? je pensais par exemple faire le mont le matin et ensuite prendre la route vers les cascades directement, est ce possible ?

Hello Sofia, it is possible to hike Mt. Bromo and visit Tumpak Sewu on the same day, but we wouldn’t recommend it. The hike to the waterfalls can be quite challenging, especially during the rainy season. You’ll have to rush your visit to Sewu to arrive back at the top before it gets dark.

Consider visiting Tumpak Sewu the next morning to get some rest first. The weather is often better and brighter at this time too.

However, if you’d still like to visit Mt. Bromo and Tumpak Sewu in one day, we suggest departing from Malang. It’s the common base camp and gateway to both destinations.

From Malang, you’ll start your trip to Mt. Bromo at midnight, catch the sunrise, hike to the crater, and be back at your guesthouse around 11:00. After the hike, you can take a little rest and take a 2-hour taxi from Malang to Sewu. You can also take a public bus, but these run less regularly, take longer, and aren’t as comfortable. The bus is not recommended if you want to make it on the same day to Sewu.

Upon arrival in Sewu, you’ll need about 2-3 hours to visit Sewu, which includes the hike and some time to admire the waterfalls. Summing it up, if you arrive back from Bromo at 11:00, need an hour to freshen up, eat and then take the taxi, you would be at Sewu around 14:00. This would be very optimistic, so expect to arrive at Sewu around 15:00. This does still leave you enough time to visit the waterfalls if everything goes well. However, keep in mind that you will have woken up at midnight to visit Bromo and won’t have had a chance to catch up on any sleep yet.

Lastly, if you plan on heading to Iljen after seeing Sewu, you can take a taxi to Klakah Station near Sewu. From here, take the 19:41 train to Banyuwangi near Iljen. If not, you can ask the driver to wait and bring you back to Malang after.

Hope this helps you to plan your trip to Java!

Transport Guide For Java, Bali, Lombok and Gilis, Indonesia in 2024.

Nic Hilditch-Short - Last updated on April 4th, 2024 at 10:10 am

Share This Post!

 Java to Bali  Java is a huge island

Travelling between the islands of Indonesia is pretty easy with most of the most visited being close enough to comfortably take the ferry. However there are many options and booking them can be confusing and often the most irritating part of the journey is organising transport once on the island as public transport in Indonesia isn’t easy to navigate!! Here is a guide to travel between Java, Bali to Lombok and the Gili islands, a popular backpackers route.

 Java to Bali 

Getting from bali to lombok, book your ferry or a flight here:, how to explore the gili islands from lombok, returning from the gili islands to bali .

Java is a huge island and depending on where you find yourself you will probably want to either fly from closer to Jakarta or take a broken up route through the islands towards the eastern end.

We flew into Jakarta from Manila via KL and from there took a 15 hour but to Yogyakarta. From here is was another 12 hour bus to Probelingo for Mt Bromo before a 5 hour train over to Banyuwangi/ Ketapang.

From here it should be simple but as it is a common route for backpackers there are many scams and price gouging tricks to look out for. Firstly the terry terminal is a good few KM from the town and you will likely be overcharged to get there, you can also make your way to the bus station and take a bus headed for Dempasar which will include the ferry fee but again the bus station is a little out of the town.

The ferry itself is very quick and cheap costing only 7,500 Rupiah (£0.42 / $0.55) and taking around 30 mins to get to Gilimanuk, they run every 15 mins all day.

The ferry is the easy part, both getting to the bus station/ ferry port on the Java side is a pain but you will usually not be too badly done by on price. However once you get to Gilimanuk you are quite a distance away from the main areas of Bali and this journey can be fraught with issues. We have had friends tell us of how their “cheap” bus stopped and demanded they paid extra (quite a lot extra) to continue or they would be kicked out at the side of the road! The journey to Dempasar from Gilimanuk is around 5 hours!

It is entirely possible to get a non air conditioned bus for as little as around 30,000 Rp and then there are companies charging much much more for a large coaches usually for tourists. We ended up somewhere in the middle with the guy at the homestay selling us a ticket all the way, including the ferry, for 90,000 Rp (£5.00 / $6.63) each. We most definitely got overcharged but we also didn’t have any issues and were able to just stay on the same bus.

Most buses will only take you to Dempasar or Mengwi and so you will have to take a further bus or Grab/ Uber up to places like Ubud, Kuta etc.

Our advice would be to get a bus that takes you all the way through as these seem to be the most trust worthy compared to the buses from Gilimanuk itself. Expect to pay between 30-100,000 Rp (£1.67 – £5.56 / $2.20 – $7.36) depending on your negotiation skills, the standard of bus and how accommodating they are feeling to foreigners!

Our Favourite Backpacks

Osprey Farpoint/ Fairview

We’ve used the Osprey Farpoint / Fairview for all our backpacking adventures over the past 5 years and highly recommend them!

The main area of the pack opens like a suitcase, which is great for using packing cubes to keep everything organised and they even come with a detachable day pack!

Lombok is a great place to visit from Bali offering a different culture and less saturated with tourists. Getting from Bali to Lombok is pretty simple though of course the main issue is getting transport from say Kuta or Ubud over to the ferry ports and the same once you are on Lombok. There are various options to consider when making the trip from Bali to Lombok!

There is a public ferry that leaves from Padang Bai and takes 4-5 hours from Bali to Lombok. This is by far the cheapest option however getting to the ferry station can be a pain with the public transport on Bali not being the best. A good option is to book the ticket in an office which includes a shuttle bus, some even provide one at the other end too. Expect to pay around Rp250,000 per person from Bali to Lombok for this option though we did manage to negotiate it for around 200,000 Rp each with a shuttle bus at both ends.

Our Favourite Camera Bag

Wandrd PRVKE 21

We absolutely love the Wandrd Prvke ! 

It’s mega comfortable when when fully loaded. Has side access so you can grab your camera on the go. The material is weather resistant and there’s even a secret passport stash pocket!

There’s an expandable upper section with a roll top to keep gear separate from your camera.

From Lombok it is really easy to get over to the Gili Islands, there are three, Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan which go in that order away from Lombok. Each has its own characteristics and atmosphere from the tiny Gili Meno which is hardly developed at all to the larger party atmosphere of Gili T, all are well worth spending at least a day on and so the best route is to go from Lombok to Gili Air then Gili Meno, Gili T and finally to Bali from there!

From Lombok you will want to get down to Senggigi where it is easy to book a boat, you can also do it from the ferry terminal however it is best to book the day before and transport is an issue on Lombok. Most bookings from here include a pick up and drop off at the harbour. Once you are on the Gili islands everything is within walking distance!

Gili Air is very close by to Lombok and there are two boats that go over, the fast and the slow boat. The slow boat itself only takes around 20 mins and is a little traditional craft usually full of locals which in itself is a cool experience. You will have to wait for the boat to fill and usually these will do a loop stopping at each island, so to Gili T the journey might be over an hour.  The prices are: 8,000 (Gili Air), 9,000 (Gili Meno) and 10,000 (Gili Trawangan).

Travelling between each island on the slow public ferries is also very easy, with services running several times a day, crossing times of around 20 mins and low prices! With these boats is is usually ok to just turn up in the morning and buy a ticket, though getting from Gili Meno to Gili T is more than you might expect at around 35,000 each.

From the biggest island of Gili Trawangan it is easy to get back to Bali and the most convenient. As always there are many different options available with the main choice being whether you go with the slow or the fast boat!

There are many different companies that run each and the easiest way is to just book from one of the vendors in the shacks along the front. If you book something else like a tour etc. from the same place then you will be able to negotiate a small discount, but generally all the prices on the island are very similar.

The slow boat takes around 4-5 hours and they run around the clock. However be prepared to set off at hour after you should as they are not the best organised service!! They are a little more roomy than the fast boat but still pretty basic and can get quite stuffy in the heat. Expect to pay around 125,000 including shuttle bus once in Bali

The fast boats take around 2.5 hours and can be quite bumpy and some companies have bad safety records. Prices vary more depending on the company you go with. Expect to pay around 250,000 which should include a shuttle back to Kuta and Ubud, other areas on Bali might cost a little more.

It is also quite easy to take these ferries in the opposite direction from Bali over to Gili Trawangan including shuttle bus.

When you arrive at the port in Bali you will be greeted with chaos, shouting, touts and scammers. You should have your shuttle bus pre booked if you can because otherwise it’s going to be a nightmare. Sure, this will cost you a little more but transport on Bali itself isn’t great and can be overpriced. Be sure to ignore all the people on the port telling you buses are full or that they work for the company and instead take you to a taxi. Make your way over to the car park at the end of the pier and find someone who actually works for your ferry company and/ or their mini bus. I saw lots of naive backpackers being told it was another 4 hours to Kuta or that the buses were full and they would take them instead!

why didn’t you take train to go across Java? I found it more comfortable than bus.

Because it was over Eid when we were travelling and it was booked solid for weeks! The bus was a nightmare because the roads were even busier due to everyone travelling for Eid! We only managed the train between Bromo and Ijen which was still busy but it wasn’t a train you could pre book so we got on!

5 Days East Java Itinerary (Visit Java from Bali)

People come to Bali in masses seeking enlightenment and witness everything the island of the gods has to offer. However, being only a 40 minutes ferry ride from Bali, Java is a place like no others. From walking alongside the rim of Mount Bromo’s crater to exploring the countless waterfalls, make sure to experience its grandiose landscapes. This 5 days East Java itinerary will guide you through the main highlights you have to see.

Save to Pinterest to read later ↓

East Java is so easily accessible from the North of Bali. It could be the perfect week-long adventurous getaway from your Bali vacation. The planning is only a suggestion. We actually did this itinerary in 7 days as we like to travel slowly and take our time!

Day 1 – Ferry/train + Rainbow city & Blue city

Day 2 – mount bromo, day 3 – tumpak sewu waterfall + kuneer hill plantation, day 4 – train back to banyuwangi, day 5 – blue fire at mount ijen.

Firstly, The ferry from Bali to Java leaves from Gilimanuk and arrives in Banyuwangi. It operates 24 hours a day every day of the week and sails every 20 minutes for the cost of 6,500 Indonesian Rupiah (IRP) which equals to 0,45 USD.

Once in Banyuwangi, the train station is only a couple of minute’s walk – station Banyuwangi Baru (BW). The train to Malang costs 62,000 IRP (4,30 USD) and leaves once a day at 5:00 a.m. every day of the week. It arrives in Malang (ML) at 12:35 p.m., giving you the rest of the day to visit the Rainbow Village!

Jodipan village & Arema village

Jodipan’s Village (Rainbow Village) and Arema (Blue Village) are both walking distance from the train station. For a small entrance fee, you can spend hours walking around the colorful alleys. They are separated by a bridge, and very hard to miss!

Up until quite recently, the Jodipan’s village used to be considered a slum on the verge of collapse. The place seemed to be beyond savings when a group of students decided to change things around. They came up with the incredible idea of coloring the entire city in different colors. The students partnered up with a paint distributor and with the help of the army and a couple of local artists, gave a fresh coat of paint to the entire area.

The walls of the villages now adorn creative murals, where colorful animals meet Disney characters. You can spend hours getting lost in the narrow alleys and socializing with the locals, who all seem genuinely happy to see support from tourists.

All in all, this initiative has completely changed the village’s image and quality of life. The incredible changes Jodipan has seen is a reason on its own to go visit the place and encourage them.

Sunrise from King Kong Hill

Mount Bromo is definitely a sight to see when visiting the island of Java. The way to get to the mountain itself may be long and uncomfortable, but it’ll all be worth it. We suggest you keep a full day for the Bromo Sunrise Tour as you will start at 1:00 a.m and finish at around 12:00 p.m. You deserve a nap after that!

The guided tour to get to the mountain begins late at night. It allows enough time to arrive at the right spot in order to see the magnificent sunrise that awaits.

The starry night sky slowly becomes filled with orange light. The clouds retreat from the mountains, presenting you one of the most beautiful sunrises of your life.

Walk around the edge of the crater

You will then drive to the base of Mount Bromo where you can climb the stairs all the way to the top, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime look into a smoking volcano crater.

You can also walk around the rim if you’re feeling bold! The view from the top is very impressive, and the desert surrounding it seems otherworldly.

Tumpak Sewu

Tumpak Sewu is also known as the Niagara Falls of Indonesia! You will first head to the viewpoint where you are greeted with the most spectacular waterfall view of your life. The Semeru volcano is guarding over the falls while a rainbow appears out of this gigantic wall of water.

Getting to the base of the waterfalls isn’t the easiest task, but the trekking itself is extremely beautiful. You will climb down a massive mountainside full of vegetation and smaller waterfalls. Once at the bottom of the mountain, you are immediately met with a Jurassic park like biome.

The feeling of walking to the base of this waterfall with water raining on you is one that every traveler should feel at least once. We even included it in our Top 10 Travel Bucketlist. There are other waterfalls and natural pools on the way back up and the path is a totally new and exciting adventure. We think it’s a must to add on any East Java itinerary!

Kuneer Hill tea plantation

The next stop is the tea plantation of Kuneer Hill! It is located fully on the other side of Malang and the drive is about 4 hours (don’t listen to Google Maps). We did both on the same day but were short on time. If you have time, it might be better to go the next day.

You can literally spend hours getting lost and taking in the panoramic view of the plantation. We decided to walk to the top of the hill, but you can also buy a ticket where they drive you up there.

The best way to get to these places is probably to rent a taxi for the day. You could rent a scooter but the road was pretty steep on the way to Tumpak Sewu, and it takes about 3 hours to get there from Malang. We had an awesome experience with our friend Azhar ! Contact him by WhatsApp at (+62 813-3604-2045).

The train back to Banyuwangi only leaves once a day, at 4:00 p.m. and arrives at 11:50 p.m. You can enjoy one last morning in Malang to take it easy and walk around. Head to the Blue Village if you didn’t get the chance to visit it yet.

Once you get to Banyuwangi, make sure your hotel knows you are coming on the train. They can usually arrange for pickup, as it is pretty late at night. After your arrival, you can either, go straight to climb Mount Ijen which starts at 1:00 am. (if you’re short in time). However, you can also take a full day of rest and do it the next day. You should modify this East Java Itinerary to your schedule, and spend more time if you can!

The ‘Blue Fire’ of mount Ijen is a rare sight and the fact you are exploring this alien-like terrain at night makes it even more special. You will need to be dressed warmly and equipped with a gas mask for the sulphuric gas.

After 1.5 to 2 hours of trekking up, you will start descending in the crater where the hike is steeper, and the air heavier. If you’re lucky and all the conditions are right you will be able to see the blue flame. Not everyone gets to see it, and your guide won’t be able to guarantee you will. We got lucky when we went, as they told us they didn’t see it the day before.

The miners you meet along the way trek the same mountain as you every day, sometimes twice a day to extract and carry the sulfur. They each bring back about 88 pounds of sulfur on every trip. They are doing such hard-work and the compensation they receive for it is not even close to cover for their work. It is common to stop by, talk to them, and give them a few dollars or a chocolate bar. They will be happy to rest for a couple of minutes and take a picture with you. That will make their day better, and in return your day as well.

Sunrise at Kawah Ijen Crater

During the hike back up the crater and while the sun is rising, you’ll see the turquoise sulphuric lake, clashing on the yellowish sulfur mountain surrounded by thick white smoke. The views are simply out of this world. We hope that one day the locals could stop doing this inhumane work and people will come to Kawah Ljen for the views only.

The Ijen tour ends at around 11:00 am, ending this East Java itinerary perfectly. You’ll make in time to take the train back to station Banyuwangi Baru (BW) and hop on a ferry back to Bali.

We hope this East Java Itinerary will be useful to you. This Island has so many destinations that are still not flooded with tourists. Being around 8 times bigger than the island of Bali, there is so much to see and you might end up spending much more than a week discovering the area!

Itinéraire jour par jour

Vol au départ de Paris

Denpasar (Bali), vol > Yogyakarta (Java)

Accueil à l’aéroport et vol intérieur pour rejoindre la ville de Yogyakarta , située au centre de l'île de Java. Surnommée "Jogja", cette cité historique est le creuset de la culture javanaise , cœur du patrimoine artistique et intellectuel de l'île et d'une grande partie de l'archipel. Accueil par votre guide et installation dans notre hôtel pour deux nuits.

• Dans le cas d'une arrivée tardive du vol international, nous logeons à Bali à proximité de l'aéroport. Le vol domestique à destination de Yogyakarta ne s'effectue alors que le J3 matin. Ce changement n'ampute en rien les visites prévues sur Yogyakarta et les environs.
• Selon les dates de départ, l'arrivée du vol international peut se faire sur Jakarta avec une nuit dans un hôtel à proximité de l'aéroport et un vol domestique à destination de Yogyakarta le J3 matin.
• Selon l'horaire d'arrivée du vol, le dîner sera pris soit dans l’avion, soit au restaurant.
• Hébergement : Hôtel
• Repas : Dîner

Yogyakarta > temple de Prambanan

La matinée est consacrée à la  visite de la capitale culturelle de Java.  Nous partons à la découverte du  palais du Sultan (Kraton)  et, dans les ruelles alentour, des  ateliers de marionnettes et de batiks , avant de poursuivre vers le  Jardin des Plaisirs (Taman Sari) , ancien palais de détente et de méditation des sultans. Nous achevons notre visite de la vieille ville par un passage au  fameux marché aux oiseaux , bruissant du chant de tous les volatiles de l'archipel (perruches, loriots, tourterelles...) ! Après le déjeuner dans un restaurant du centre-ville, nous mettons le cap pour les environs du complexe de  temples hindouistes de Prambanan ,   inscrit au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Avant d'entamer la visite de ce site culturel majeur, nous partons pour une  balade  depuis le petit temple de Candi Barong  à travers forêt, villages traditionnels javanais et rizières . En fin d'après-midi, nous partons découvrir ce chef d'oeuvre cuturel.  Témoignage exceptionnel de la période hindoue à Java , Prambanan fut édifié au IXe siècle, environ 50 ans après Borobudur (que nous visitons demain). L’enceinte extérieure abrite les  vestiges de 244 temples  du groupe d’origine. Huit temples majeurs et huit temples mineurs se dressent dans la plus haute cour centrale dont le somptueux temple de 47 mètres dédié à Shiva. Le séisme de 2006 n’a pas épargné le site mais l’ensemble reste particulièrement impressionnant à visiter ! Cette belle journée s'achève par une  représentation de théâtre d'ombres  (ou  wayang kulit ), un  spectacle populaire de marionnettes traditionnelles  reprenant les histoires et les légendes de Java... Ce sont des  figurines plates de cuir maintenues par des tiges  et manipulées par un marionnettiste, le tout placé derrière un drap et apparaissant en ombre chinoise. Accompagné de  percussions et d’une flûte , il donne aussi sa voix aux personnages. Après un dîner sur place, retour à notre hôtel de Yogyakarta en soirée.

• Repas : Petit-Déjeuner, Déjeuner, Dîner
• Marche : 1h
• Transport : 2h

Marche > temples de Borobudur et Mendut, Babadan (flancs du Mont Merapi)

Les alentours étant de toute beauté, c’est  à pied,   entre rizières et volcans,  depuis les collines du Mont Suroloyo (900 m), que nous atteindrons le  sanctuaire de Borobudur  ! Le panorama nous offre un angle élargi et nous permet d’observer, par temps clair,  quatre volcans  : les  Monts Sumbing ,  Sundoro ,  Merbabu  et  Merapi . Descente en direction du temple, que nous avons en ligne de mire tout au long de la randonnée. Rizières et plantations (clous de girofle, café, légumes...) dominent le paysage. La traversée de  plusieurs villages traditionnels  nous permet de chaleureuses rencontres. Nous prenons le  déjeuner chez l'habitant , l'occasion aussi de  s'initier aux   techniques du gamelan  (orchestre local). Dans l'après-midi, nous entamons la  visite de Borobudur ,  joyau de l'art bouddhique,  niché dans un écrin de volcans et de rizières, classé à l'Unesco. Oublié pendant des siècles et recouvert par des couches de cendres volcaniques, ce n’est qu’en 1815 que le site fut déblayé. Les archéologues découvrirent alors ce fabuleux temple édifié au VIIIe siècle. Vue du ciel, la structure ressemble à un immense mandala de 118 mètres de côté. De  Borobudur , nous poursuivons vers le  petit temple de Mendut , abritant un  magnifique bouddha  de trois mètres de haut. Après cette ultime visite, trajet en minibus pour atteindre les flancs sud-ouest du volcan Merapi (3142 m). Au village de Babadan, découverte de l’ observatoire volcanologique avant de rejoindre nos hôtes pour la nuit. 

• Hébergement : Nuit chez l'habitant
• Marche : 3h
• Dénivelé 300 m
• Transport : 3h

Ascension > volcan Merapi (2911 m), Selo > Tawangmangu

Depuis l'observatoire de Babadan, départ avant l’aube pour l’ascension du volcan Merapi. Dominant la ville de Jogja (avec ses 500 000 habitants), ce gigantesque cône extrêmement surveillé par les scientifiques, est l’un des volcans les plus actifs au monde. Quatre postes d’observation sont réparties sur ses flancs pour mesurer son activité et prévenir rapidement les populations alentour d’un éventuel danger. En gage de respect envers cette montagne apportant fertilité à la terre et menace sur les environs, une procession annuelle avec des offrandes est organisée. Sur un sentier bien marqué , début de la montée à travers les plantations de piments, tomates, carottes et patates douces... A mi-parcours, nous devons franchir une immense tranchée (vestige d’une coulée de lave récente ) qui nous barre le chemin... il faut parfois s’aider des mains ! Traversée d'une forêt de pins avant de poursuivre sur une portion raide jusqu'au plateau de Pasar Bubar à 2600 m d'altitude. Dernier effort dans un pierrier de roches volcaniques et de cendres nous menant jusqu'au sommet. La récompense est là ! Très belle vue sur les volcans alentour de Java , l’océan Indien et la ville de Yogyakarta. Selon l'activité volcanique du moment, présence possible de nombreuses fumerolles. Nous empruntons la voie classique pour la descente par le versant nord du volcan, jusqu'au village de Selo et route pour Tawangmangu , perché sur les flancs du Mont Lawu (3265 m).

• Hébergement : Lodge
• Marche : 8h
• Dénivelé 1600 m 1300 m

Temple de Sukuh > Tawangmangu > Tumpang

Nous rejoignons ce matin le fascinant temple hindouiste de Sukuh (900 m) érigé au XVe siècle et perché sur les flancs ouest du Mont Lawu (3265 m). Plusieurs sculptures et bas-reliefs très explicites lui ont valu son surnom de "temple érotique" ! Ce sanctuaire était sans aucun doute consacré à un culte de la fertilité . Après sa visite, nous poursuivons par une belle marche au coeur d'une campagne très bucolique sur les hauteurs de Tawangmangu. Dans un paysage de collines , nous profitons de très belles vues sur ces patchworks de plantations étonnamment ordonnées : haricots, carottes, choux, piments, oignons... C'est aussi l'occasion de plusieurs rencontres tout sourire avec ces paysans javanais... De là, nous quittons la région de Java Centre pour rejoindre celle de Java Est. Long trajet jusqu'à la bourgade de Tumpang , près de la ville de Malang.

Selon les disponibilités hôtelières, nuit possible sur Malang.

• Marche : 2h
• Dénivelé 200 m 400 m
• Transport : 8h

Tumpang > Ranupani (2200 m), trek > Kalimati (2700 m), camp de base du Semeru

Départ matinal en 4x4 en empruntant une piste parfois raide et chaotique, nous remontons les contreforts ouest du complexe volcanique Tengger-Bromo-Semeru . Nous découvrons en chemin de superbes plantations sur des terrains fertiles particulièrement pentus, avant de longer la crête sud de l'immense caldeira du Tengger (16 km de diamètre et contenant 5 volcans). Arrivée au village de Ranupani (2200 m d’altitude), dernière localité habitée sur les contreforts du volcan Semeru (3676 m). L'ascension du point culminant de Java se déroule sur deux jours. En éruption quasi permanente depuis 1818, c’est l’un des volcans les plus actifs de l’île, avec la particularité de produire une petite éruption toutes les 30 minutes environ . Rencontre avec notre guide local ainsi que l’équipe de porteurs qui nous accompagnent pour ces deux prochains jours. L'étape du jour, tout en longueur, avec un dénivelé modéré, est la marche d'approche jusqu'au camp de base du volcan . Le sentier parcourt collines et forêts denses (filaos, fougères arborescentes...) avant d’atteindre le joli lac de Ranu Kumbolo , à 2400 m d'altitude. Dans l’après-midi, après avoir traversée une grande savane herbeuse, nous poursuivons notre montée progressive à travers la forêt jusqu’au plateau de Kalimati, situé à 2700 m d'altitude. Installation des tentes au camp de base, dominé par le cône majestueux du Semeru . Coucher tôt pour tout le monde car demain une grosse journée nous attend avec un départ nocturne…

• Hébergement : Camp
• Marche : 6h/7h
• Dénivelé 870 m 330 m

Ascension a/r > volcan Semeru (3676 m), trek > Ranupani (2200 m)

Dans la nuit (vers 2h du matin), à la lueur de nos lampes frontales, nous débutons notre lente ascension sur les pentes raides du cône terminal du Semeru , par le versant nord. Traversée d'une forêt dense jusqu'à 3050 m d'altitude et poursuite de notre montée, plus raide à présent, sur un terrain poussiéreux de cendre et de scories volcaniques rendant l’ascension jusqu'au sommet relativement éprouvante ! Notre effort est récompensé par un lever du soleil inoubliable depuis le siège des Dieux. Par temps clair, la vue panoramique est exceptionnelle sur le volcan Arjuno au loin, sur la caldeira du Tengger d'où émerge les volcans Bromo et Batok ... Depuis la crête dominant le cratère situé en contrebas, et en restant suffisamment à distance, nous sommes aux premières loges d’un spectacle naturel exceptionnel et rare ; des explosions régulières libèrent des panaches de cendres et de poussières . Un moment fort du voyage... Retour jusqu'à notre camp de base de Kalimati pour se reposer et prendre un bon petit-déjeuner, avant de rejoindre la bourgade de Ranupani par le même chemin que la veille. 

• Marche : 9h
• Dénivelé 1300 m 1850 m

Ranupani > caldeira du Tengger, marche a/r > Mont Bromo (2329 m)

Départ en 4x4 vers le célèbre Mont Bromo (2329 m) et ses paysages lunaires à couper le souffle... Nous repassons dans la forêt du Parc national du Tengger-Bromo-Semeru avant de descendre au cœur de l'immense caldeira. Traversée de cette gigantesque mer de sable pour rejoindre la base du volcan Bromo . Nous partons alors pour l'ascension du Mont Bromo (sans aucune difficulté) après avoir grimpé quelques 250 marches d'escaliers. Balade sur le bord du cratère offrant une vue plongeante sur ses entrailles sulfureuses et fumantes... C'est le volcan le plus vénéré des Tengger , un peuple hindouiste ayant trouvé refuge dans ce massif pour fuir au XVIe siècle la vague d'islamisation de Java. Ceux-ci viennent parfois jeter leurs offrandes de légumes, de fleurs, de riz ou même de chèvres et de coqs... lors de cérémonies religieuses importantes. Dans l'après-midi, installation dans notre hôtel simple situé dans le village de Cemorolawang . L'avantage est son emplacement offrant une très belle vue plongeante sur la caldeira.

• Dénivelé 250 m 250 m

Mont Penanjakan (2775 m) > Ketapang (volcan Kawah Ijen)

Avant l’aube, nous rejoignons en 4x4 le sommet du volcan Penanjakan (2775 m), pour un point de vue extraordinaire au lever du soleil sur toute la caldeira parcourue la veille. Ambiance de création du monde, lorsque le bleu-gris de la nuit prend des teintes rose-orangé au fur et à mesure que le jour se lève. Le spectacle de l'aube devient alors tout à fait exceptionnel ! Le Bromo s'illumine , avec en arrière-plan le Semeru (3676 m) crachant ses cendres à intervalles réguliers. Après ce lever du jour mémorable, cap vers l'extrême est de Java jusqu'à Ketapang , aux abords du volcan Kawah Ijen . En chemin, découverte de bateaux traditionnels madurais.

• Transport : 6h

Marche a/r > Kawah Ijen (2148 m), bateau > Ile de Bali : Pemuteran (bord de mer)

Lever matinal pour prendre la direction du poste de Paltuding (1780 m), point de départ de l’ ascension du Kawah Ijen ou "cratère vert" en indonésien. Après une montée régulière à travers la forêt, nous atteignons le bord du cratère offrant une belle vue sur le plus grand lac d’acide au monde , composé de nombreuses fumerolles et dépôts de soufre . Descente (facultative) dans ce chaudron jusqu'au bord du lac couleur vert laiteux, où travaillent de véritables forçats du soufre. A l'aide de barres à mine, ils extraient le précieux minerai avant de transporter à dos d’homme des charges énormes (80 à 100 kg), à l’aide de paniers équilibrés sur leurs épaules. Descente par le même sentier où l'on croise ces hommes faisant la navette entre le cratère et le poste de pesage en contrebas. L'activité du Kawah Ijen est généralement caractérisée par des éruptions phréatiques ; bouillonnement des eaux du lac provoqué par l'augmentation de l'activité gazeuse et qui induit le changement de couleur des eaux. Nous quittons Java pour rejoindre Pemuteran, sur l'île de Bali , après une traversée en ferry (1 à 2h). Nous débutons alors la deuxième partie de ce voyage indonésien, au rythme de la douceur balinaise ...

• Hébergement : Hôtel en bord de mer
• Marche : 4h
• Dénivelé 500 m 500 m
• Transport : 4h/5h

Pemuteran (repos, baignade, snorkeling...) > Munduk

Matinée libre pour se reposer et profiter des très belles plages de Pemuteran . Cet ancien village de pêcheurs est aujourd'hui une  petite station balnéaire  située sur la côte nord-ouest de Bali, loin de la frénésie touristique du sud de l'île. Dans l'après-midi, nous partons pour Munduk, village d'altitude situé à 800 m d'altitude. Les anciens colons hollandais aimaient y venir en villégiature, depuis l'ancienne capitale coloniale de Singaraja, sur la côte nord.

Pour ceux qui le souhaitent, possibilité de snorkeling ou de plongée dans la féerie d’un aquarium polychrome, autour du récif corallien de l’île de Menjangan (activités optionnelles à réserver et à payer sur place).

• Hébergement : Losmen
• Transport : 1h30

Marche et bateau > lac Tamblingan, temple Ulun Danu Bratan > Ubud

Depuis le centre de Munduk , descente en contrebas du village pour découvrir une nature luxuriante ; traversée de différentes cultures : piments, café, girofle, vanille, cacao... Remontée à travers de superbes rizières en terrasses . La vue est magnifique ; par temps clair on aperçoit facilement la côte est de Java. Cette randonnée  permet une immersion dans la vie agricole balinaise, en longeant quelques belles forêts de l’île. Montée jusqu’à un plateau et traversée de cultures de mandariniers, hortensia, œillets d’Inde (fleurs utilisées pour les offrandes balinaises)… Arrivée au-dessus du lac volcanique de Tamblingan que nous traversons en canot traditionnel . Dans l’après-midi, après un court trajet, visite du temple hindo-bouddhiste d'Ulun Danu Bratan qui se reflète avec élégance sur les eaux miroitantes du lac Bratan . Avec son immense banian à l'entrée et ses jolis jardins, le lieu est enchanteur… Principalement dédié à la trinité hindouiste (Brahma, Visnu et Shiva), on trouve aussi dans l’enceinte du temple un stupa bouddhiste. Continuation vers la petite ville d'Ubud, capitale culturelle de Bali. Ce grand village, qui a su préserver son charme, se trouve au milieu des rizières. Découverte de l'ancien palais royal (Puri Saren Agung) et passage par le marché avant de rejoindre notre hôtel en fin d'après-midi.

• Dénivelé 500 m 100 m

Ubud > caldeira du Batur, ascension > volcan Mont Batur (1717 m)

Après la visite d'un musée de peintures , nous rejoignons le bord de la caldeira du volcan Batur : beau panorama sur le volcan gisant au milieu d’une immense caldeira de 13 km de diamètre et au pied duquel s’étale le lac du même nom. Observation des coulées de lave basaltique des éruptions de 1917 et 1926. Descente dans la caldeira et installation dans notre losmen situé proche du lac Batur. De ce lieu, nous débutons l’ ascension du Mont Batur culminant à 1717 m d’altitude pour atteindre d’abord le sommet du cratère le plus ancien : la vue est splendide ! Découverte du lac Batur , dominé par le Mont Abang et le Mont Agung , point culminant de Bali. Descente, avec vue sur les coulées de laves récentes, en contournant les cratères adjacents et passage à proximité du cratère le plus récent, toujours actif.

• Hébergement : Losmen, situé au pied du volcan
• Marche : 5h
• Dénivelé 600 m 600 m
• Transport : 1h

Caldeira du Batur > temple de Besakih, trek > camp de base Mont Agung (2550 m)

Nous prenons ce matin la direction du temple de Besakih ; blotti au pied du volcan Agung , c’est un haut-lieu de spiritualité pour les hindouistes balinais. Conjuguant tous les superlatifs, ce temple est à la fois le plus grand, le plus ancien et le plus sacré de l’île… Après la visite du temple, en fonction de l'activité volcanique du moment, rencontre avec notre guide local ainsi que l’équipe de porteurs qui nous accompagnent pour cette  ascension du Mont Agung (3142 m). Le plus haut et le plus vénéré de Bali, ce volcan explosif domine pratiquement tout le sud et l'est de l'île de son imposante silhouette. L'ascension se déroule d'abord dans une forêt tropicale dense avec un sentier soutenu par endroits. Après 1200 m de dénivelé, nous installons notre campement légèrement au-dessus du couvert forestier , nous dominons l’immense caldeira du Batur. Le coucher de soleil sur la mer de nuages (souvent le cas en soirée), avec les volcans de Java qui émergent au loin , est inoubliable. Après le dîner préparé par l'équipe locale, coucher tôt pour tout le monde car demain une nouvelle grosse journée nous attend avec un départ nocturne...

Attention depuis 2018, l’ascension du volcan Agung est impossible suite à une série de plusieurs petites éruptions. Nous restons en veille constante sur l’activité volcanique et nous proposerons l’ascension du volcan en 2019 si cela est à nouveau autorisé par les autorités locales. Si l'ascension est toujours interdite, une randonnée de substitution sera proposée dans la région de Sidemen.

• Marche : 4h/5h
• Dénivelé 1200 m

Ascension > volcan Mont Agung (3142 m), Besakih > Candidasa (bord de mer)

Au petit matin (vers 4h) nous partons sur les pentes dénudées du Mont Agung pour l’ascension finale du cône sommital. A cette altitude, les vêtements chauds sont de rigueur... Après environ 1h30 de montée, nous atteignons le point culminant (3142 m) et non l’antécime. De ce véritable sommet, le lever de soleil est magnifique, la vue à 360° est fantastique ! A l’est, le volcan Rinjani dominant l'île de Lombok, à l’ouest, l’immense caldeira du Batur , et au loin l'île de Java . A ce spectacle unique, il faut ajouter l’ombre portée du volcan Agung qui semble s’étendre à l’infini... Par temps clair, nous profitons de ce spectacle grandiose pendant plus de 600 m de descente. De retour à notre campement, il ne nous reste plus qu’à profiter d’un bon petit déjeuner avant de démonter le camp et effectuer la longue descente jusqu'à Besakih. Nous prenons alors le cap pour la petite station balnéaire de Candidasa , sur la côte est de Bali. Temps libre pour se reposer à l'hôtel et profiter de sa piscine ou du bord de mer.

• Marche : 7h
• Dénivelé 600 m 1800 m

Bateau > Ile de Lombok, port de Lembar > Senaru

Après avoir rejoint rapidement le port de Padangbai , nous embarquons à bord d'un ferry pour atteindre l'île de Lombok (traversée en 4h/5h environ), troisième et dernière étape de notre aventure indonésienne ! Débarquement au port de Lembar et départ le long de la côte nord-ouest de Lombok jusqu'à la bourgade de Senaru , situé à 700 m d'altitude. Depuis notre losmen, belle vue sur le volcan Rinjani (3726 m) d'un côté et sur l'océan de l'autre. En fin de journée, si le temps le permet, petite balade aller-retour vers les belles chutes d’eau de Sindang Gila.

• Marche : 1h30

Volcan Rinjani : trek > Pelawangan I (2634 m) > lac Segara Anak (2100 m)

L'ascension du volcan Rinjani , point culminant de Lombok se déroule en trois jours, en partant depuis les contreforts nord du massif. Nous retrouvons ce matin notre guide local sasak ainsi qu'une équipe de porteurs pour les trois jours à venir. Comme pour pratiquement tous les volcans indonésiens, la première partie de l'ascension s’effectue à travers une forêt tropicale dense. Une lande d’altitude prend le relais avant de laisser place à un chaos de rochers volcaniques. Après de nombreuses heures de marche, arrivée à Pelawangan I (2634 mètres d'altitude) sur le rebord de l'immense caldeira (8 km de diamètre, parois de 500 m de haut), au fond de laquelle repose le lac Segara Anak . Descente raide jusqu'aux rives de ce lac, au fond de la caldeira où l'on installe le camp. Un cadre absolument magique !

En cas d’éruption du volcan Baru, qui gît au bord du lac de la caldeira, le camp sera installé sur la crête de la caldeira, et non au bord du lac.

• Dénivelé 1900 m 500 m

Volcan Rinjani : trek > Pelawangan II (2700 m)

Aujourd'hui, une courte étape permet de se reposer un peu avant la longue journée de demain ! Marche facile jusqu'à un petit plateau, Pelawangan II , situé à 2700 mètres d'altitude, juste à l'aplomb du sommet .

• Marche : 3h30
• Dénivelé 600 m

Ascension > volcan Rinjani (3 726 m), trek > Sembalunlawang (1140 m), Senggigi

Départ dans la nuit pour l’ ascension terminale du volcan Rinjani . Aux premières lueurs du jour, on aperçoit au loin la crête sommitale se déployant en arc de cercle au-dessus du camp de Pelawangan II. L'assaut final se déroule dans des pierriers pénibles menant au pic sommital. Par temps clair, la vue est grandiose sur les îles de Lombok, Bali et Sumbawa . A 1700 m en contrebas, la caldeira s'ouvre comme une bouche béante... Un spectacle de toute beauté. Par le même chemin, retour à notre campement de Pelawangan II. En début d'après-midi, descente par un nouveau sentier en direction du village de Sembalunlawang (1140 m d'altitude), situé sur les flancs est du massif. Nous quittons à présent les  pentes du Rinjani  et rejoignons la  station balnéaire de Senggigi , située sur la côte ouest. Installation pour deux nuits dans des bungalows faisant face à la mer. 

• Hébergement : Bungalow en bord de mer
• Marche : 9h/10h
• Dénivelé 1000 m 2600 m
• Transport : 2h30

Senggigi : journée libre (repos, baignade...)

Journée libre à Senggigi pour se reposer après ce trek et profiter des plages de sable fin ourlées de cocotiers , sur fond de falaise et de montagne. C'est au coucher du soleil que le cadre est fantastique ... Par temps clair, on aperçoit au loin le volcan Agung que l'on a grimpé il y a quelques jours lors de notre traversée de Bali...

Senggigi, vol Lombok > Bali, vol de retour

Ce matin, nous quittons les plages de Senggigi pour rejoindre l'aéroport de Lombok. Vol intérieur à destination de Bali, avant le vol de retour sur Paris.

Selon les horaires du vol international retour, déjeuner sur place ou dans l'avion.

Bonjour, nous sommes ravis que vous ayez été enchantée par ce circuit, les paysages et notre guide, sur ce voyage unique de 24 jours permettant d’explorer plusieurs iles de l’archipel indonésien . Nous sommes surpris de votre observation à propos de la taille du bateau, car comme nous le spécifions bien dans la fiche technique du voyage, il est adapté à la taille du groupe. Vous étiez 5, donc il y avait 3 cabines doubles avec sanitaires à partager. Concernant le prix du voyage, cela fait l’objet de nombreux échanges entre vous et nous. Vous nous avez adressé plusieurs demandes de prix début 2023, pour votre vol, une chambre single et l’extension à Nusa Penida. Nous vous avons transmis nos propositions de prix, que vous avez acceptées en vous inscrivant mi-mars. Puis courant août, vous êtes revenue vers nous estimant que le prix était trop élevé. Après de nombreuses discussions infructueuses, nous avons décidé de faire un geste commercial exceptionnel en vous remboursant intégralement et sans frais l’extension à Nusa Penida, que vous avez (re)réservée de votre côté. A votre retour, vous êtes revenue vers nous, mécontente du prix de la single. Mais tous les prix étaient connus à l’avance, vous avez fait le choix de vous inscrire sur ce voyage, il n’y a pas de surprise, d’autant plus que nous sommes l’un des rares tours opérateurs à indiquer sur notre fiche le prix de la single (et non pas « sur demande »). Concernant l’incendie dans la région du Mont Bromo, nous avons été contraints – après fermeture du site par les autorités – de modifier l’itinéraire afin de permettre au groupe d’accéder à un autre côté du volcan. Nous avons de ce fait engagé des frais, dont nous vous avons apporté le détail. Le delta, entre les nouveaux frais, les prestations payées non remboursables et celles partiellement remboursables, est au final faible. En réagissant vite et en organisant une solution de remplacement, notre principal souci était de satisfaire nos voyageurs en leur offrant la possibilité d’accéder à une autre randonnée pour rejoindre un point de vue sur le cratère. La qualité Tirawa n’est pas de « laisser en plan » nos voyageurs, mais de tout de suite se mobiliser pour résoudre un aléa, malgré le décalage horaire et dont par ailleurs nous ne sommes pas responsables. Nous restons à votre écoute et espérons surtout que vous garderez de belles images de ce grand tour d’Indonésie. Bien à vous l’équipe, Tirawa.

17 jours Départ du 18 décembre 2022

Bonjour, merci beaucoup de partager vos impressions à votre retour de voyage. Nous avons apporté des précisions sur les conditions de balades sur les sentiers, parfois un peu raides, et soulignant la nécessité d'être plus attentif lorsque les sentiers sont glissants. Pour la météo, nous sommes désolés qu'elle ait été capricieuse alors que le mois de décembre est habituellement une très bonne saison. Les fonds marins y sont exceptionnels, au moins aussi spectaculaires qu'aux Maldives ou dans les grands spots de snorkelling. Bien à vous, l'équipe Tirawa.

Ghislaine D.

Bonjour, nous sommes désolés que nous n’ayez pas apprécié cette croisière dans l’archipel des Raja Ampat, mais nous trouvons votre note très sévère. Comme vous le soulignez, l’itinéraire est bien décrit dans notre fiche technique, et rejoindre ce paradis du bout du monde se mérite, de la France à Bali, puis Sorong en Papouasie occidentale avant de rejoindre notre bateau. Malheureusement, cette année, la météo a été particulièrement capricieuse (phénomène La nina), alors qu’habituellement la saison en décembre est idéale. Pluie et vent ont apporté leur lot de désagréments, fonds marins brouillés, houle, sentiers détrempés… Contrairement à ce que vous décrivez, ce sont parmi les plus beaux fonds marins au monde, un endroit d’exception comme il n’en existe plus beaucoup pour le snorkeling. Concernant les passages délicats en randonnée, les pluies ont notamment rendu l’accès à la cascade plus glissant, d’autant qu’une partie est en dévers. Nous vous remercions d’avoir souligner ce point, qui nous permet de réinsister dans notre fiche technique sur la nécessité d’être plus attentif à chaque pas sur ces sentiers. Bien à vous, l’équipe Tirawa

Bonjour, nous sommes désolés que ce voyage ne vous ait pas entièrement apporté satisfaction et avons d'ores et déjà amélioré les points qui ont pu altérer l'appréciation de cette croisière des Raja Ampat aux Moluques. Nous espérons que vous garderez néanmoins de beaux souvenirs de ce voyage et restons à votre écoute. Bien à vous, l'équipe Tirawa

Bonjour, merci beaucoup de votre retour et nous nous réjouissons que vous ayez fait un beau voyage. Nous avons bien noté vos observations et notre équipe locale a déjà remplacé le matériel qui posait problème pour nos prochains départs. Bien entendu, les conditions de vie sur ce bateau (restauré mais traditionnel) entrainent une certaine promiscuité et nécessitent un peu d'adaptation. C'est l'occasion de rappeler qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une croisière luxueuse,  car le luxe réside dans la confidentialité des zones traversées, des iles visitées, totalement hors des sentiers battus. Merci encore de votre confiance, bien à vous, l'équipe Tirawa.

La plus grande partie du voyage dispose d’hébergements de catégorie supérieure à la norme locale (Hôtels, Guesthouses, Camps fixes). Nous les avons sélectionnés pour leurs cadres et leurs prestations de qualité. Bien entendu, nous n’excluons pas le fait de dormir ponctuellement chez l’habitant pour vivre une expérience forte et en adéquation avec l’état d’esprit d’un voyage.

Classification des conforts

Un voyage au bon rapport qualité / prix pour des hébergements simples. La plupart de nos trekkings se situent dans cette catégorie de confort. Notre valeur ajoutée : nous ne nous privons pas de recourir à des hébergements plus confortables, avant ou après un trek, soit pour bien se préparer, soit pour se reposer !

Des voyages tout confort et dont les hébergements participent indéniablement au caractère exclusif du périple. Généralement à taille humaine, ces hébergements sélectionnés pour leur cachet ou leur environnement remarquable assurent un service optimal dans une ambiance cosy et couleur locale. II ne s’agit pas d’hébergements de luxe mais d’une d’atmosphère unique et authentique.

Adoptant une ligne classique sans oublier d’être moderne, ce navire incarne l’évolution naturelle de notre flotte : suffisamment spacieux pour proposer huit options de restauration et notamment le programme Sea And Land Taste (S.A.L.T.), il adopte néanmoins des dimensions assez modestes pour conserver l’ambiance intimiste qui fait la renommée de Silversea. Si le Silver Dawn a hérité des remarquables caractéristiques de ses aînés, le Silver Muse et le Silver Moon , c’est un navire unique en son genre. Renfermant des suites somptueuses, empruntant des itinéraires exceptionnels, le remarquable concept de bien-être OTIVM et associant au design une technologie d’avant-garde, le Silver Dawn place la barre encore plus haut en matière de luxe. Est-ce réellement le début d’une nouvelle ère ? Silversea vous le Dawn en mille.
