Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Indonesia is around 14 hours with a stopover. But we promise you it's worth it.
Indonesia: one country, a thousand adventures
Indonesia is an archipelago of wild beauty and thrilling contrasts, where adventure awaits across thousands of islands.
From up-close wildlife encounters to jaw-dropping volcanic hikes, this is a destination made for explorers. Walk among Komodo dragons in Komodo National Park (yes, they’re as massive as they sound), climb Java’s famous Gunung Bromo for a sunrise you’ll never forget, or witness the otherworldly blue flames of Kawah Ijen after dark.
On Sumba, time slows down among megalithic tombstones and the colourful chaos of the traditional Pasola Festival. For divers, Raja Ampat is the holy grail – with whale sharks, manta rays and coral reefs straight out of a dream.
Prefer a gentler pace? Unwind at serene Danau Toba – the world’s largest crater lake – and soak up the warm hospitality of the Batak people.
With dramatic landscapes, rich culture and endless possibilities, Indonesia is an explorer’s dream come true.
Let’s make it happen – chat to our Indonesia specialists and start planning today.
Best time to go
Indonesia is a year-round destination, but for the best weather, visit during the dry season from April to October. Shoulder seasons (March–June, September–November) offer smaller crowds.
Time difference
Indonesia is 4–6 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in NZ and regional variation across the country.

I have had a lifelong love affair for exploring the world. Raised in a family that prioritised travel, I inherited a passion for all things travel. I have lived in different countries (London, USA, Argentina) and I am fascinated with the rich tapestry of culture, people, religion and food in new places.
My love for travel has taken me to some of the world’s most amazing places!
From Mauritius to Bahamas and all in between, I have been privileged to experience the world and being able to speak and understand 5 languages English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German and Greek) certainly comes in helpful.
I have grown up in South Africa, spending most of my adult life there, being able to show my clients what makes this region so unique is a privilege. Africa was my backyard after all and even after living in NZ for almost 12 years, my heart still beats to the African Drum.
For me, choosing a favourite destination is impossible. But .. Bali has literally captivated my heart, and even though I have been there 20+ times, I still always find new things to uncover. As does the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles, these islands just have the “it” factor
I also love ocean cruising, especially Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Cruising offers such a great variety and a chance to see multiple destinations and experiencing iconic landmarks and locations from your hotel on the sea.
I WOULD SAY MY PASSION IS MAKING MY CLIENTS DREAM HOLIDAYS COME TRUE AND I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY EFFICIENT SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.
