Java

Java is the most populous island in the world and home to over 50% of Indonesia’s people. From the chaotic capital of Jakarta, to the ancient temples of Prambanan and Borobudur, to the many volcanoes and national parks, Java is a fascinating place to say the very least. Explore this amazing island with us, as we show you how to travel from Jakarta to Bali overland, what to do with a week in Yogyakarta, and how to have a DIY Mt. Bromo adventure. Our Java travel guide is just what you need to make the most of your trip there.

Rather than take a packaged tour, we like to do things the hard way. Our insane DIY Mt. Bromo adventure is the perfect example – staying in the highest village in Java, flying across the sea of sand on the back of motorbikes, and staring down into an active volcano.
