Indonesian & Malaysian Joy

Indonesian & Malaysian Joy

Set sail on an unforgettable two-week journey across Southeast Asia through the jewels of the Indonesian archipelago and beyond, beginning on the enchanting southeast shores of Bali near the village of Benoa. Experience this exquisite island’s lush landscape and immerse yourself in the Balinese culture by watching a Kecak dance performance. From Benoa, make your way to the rugged landscapes of Lombok and relax on a pristine beach where turquoise waters surround you. Then, lose yourself in the cultural tapestry on Bali’s northeast shore at the village of Celukan Bawang, where ancient temples and vibrant markets await your discovery. Experience the bustling energy of Surabaya, the second-largest city in Indonesia, before delving into the rich history of Jakarta’s colonial neighborhoods, where remnants of Dutch influence still linger. Visit Sam Poo Wong, the oldest Chinese temple in Semarang, or explore Indonesian arts and crafts in Jakarta. In Kuala Lumpur, explore everything from the soaring Petronas Towers and the royal palace to majestic Gothic churches. Venture to the idyllic shores of Langkawi, where lush rainforests meet cascading waterfalls. Then, set sail for the sun-kissed shores of Phuket, where turquoise waters and golden sands bring you paradise. Let the aromatic flavors of Malaysian food tantalize your taste buds in Penang, and finally, before ending your journey in Singapore, spend a day in Melacca, an iconic city of Portuguese, Dutch, and Chinese influences.
