Islands of Wonder: A 15-Day Luxury Adventure Through Indonesia

Imagine gliding silently through a jungle river, the mist lifting to reveal an orangutan swinging through the treetops. Days later, you're drifting above a coral reef, face-to-face with a manta ray, before anchoring at a secluded beach where no footprints mark the sand. As night falls, you dine under the stars aboard a private yacht, the Komodo Islands silhouetted on the horizon.

This is a journey designed for those who crave authentic encounters, rare access, and exceptional comfort. Over 15 days, you’ll travel across four Indonesian islands, from Jakarta’s colonial soul and Borneo’s wild rainforests to the untamed waters of Komodo National Park and the peaceful shores of Lombok. This experience blends intimate wildlife moments, pristine nature, and refined retreat—all handpicked and curated for high-end, conscious explorers.
