Extraordinary Journeys has announced its newest expansion to Indonesia, now offering custom adventures in Sumba, Komodo, Bali, Lombok, Java, Borneo and Sulawesi. Every journey is crafted to strike a balance between adventure, cultural immersion and relaxation, helping travelers uncover Indonesia’s landscapes, heritage and wildlife.
Lauren Jafry, head of sales and product development for Asia at Extraordinary Journeys, said guests can expect to travel in Borneo, via private-charter klotoks—traditional wooden riverboats—to travel through Kalimantan in search of orangutans and other wildlife. By contrast, the Komodo journeys—also entirely boat-based—utilize private phinisi yachts so that travelers are waking up in remote coves, "not jostling with day-trippers from Labuan Bajo."
In Bali, Jafry adds, while some itineraries include touchpoints in Ubud or Seminyak—"because they do offer meaningful experiences when done right"—travelers will also be encouraged to discover the island’s quieter sides: the terraced valleys of Sidemen in the east, the black-sand beaches of the west, the misty coffee highlands of the north.
