Top Activities in Indonesia
A Range of Activities
Tourism is one of Indonesia’s important industries, and the country is able to offer a number of experiences to visitors: the country’s cultural range, natural splendour and historical traditions are all fascinating and worth a tourist’s time.
Beautiful Flora and Fauna
Take in the striking flora and fauna of Indonesia: from beautiful waterfalls to proud peacocks, this country features an exotic native ecosystem.
Religious Sites
Borobudur is Indonesia’s most visited tourist attraction, and there are other religious destinations worth a look as well. This includes one of the largest Hindu temples in the region, Pramabanan. Cultural tourism also includes taking in the different ethnic groups of the region, from their cuisine to their dance and handcrafted artwork.
Take Advantage of the Coast
Because of its abundance of islands, Indonesia features the world’s third longest coastline. Try grabbing a speed boat for an action-packed tour of some of the sites and islands. Luxurious cruises are more relaxed, but also allow visitors to sail the waters while seeing the locale.
Water Sports
For sports enthusiasts, ride the world class waves of the Indonesian waters. Or, if you’re really adventurous, try hang gliding to see the sites from above. Lovers of nature should grab some scuba gear to see the well-preserved underwater world. Or, take a simple fishing trip.
More Traditional Activities
More traditional tourist activities are also possible: Relax by taking a designer shopping spree, or by pampering yourself at a local spa.
The Emerald of the Equator
Whether you’d like to learn more about history, spend some sun time on the beach or flirt with culture, Indonesia is a spot like no other.
