Jakarta, Indonesia

April, 14, 2025 – April 14, 2025

Discover some of the most extraordinary attractions in Jakarta, a city that the ruling Dutch called Old Batavia for centuries. Your panoramic tour will begin at the once-bustling Old Harbor at the mouth of the Ciliwung River, an area that historical sailing vessels now primarily use. Nearby, you will find Fatahillah Square, the administrative center of Old Batavia, which is lined with restored colonial buildings, many of which have been converted into museums. At the beautiful Neo-Renaissance-style Wayang Museum, you will see one of the world’s finest collections of traditional wayangs or shadow puppets, which are still used extensively to tell dramatic stories. Other highlights in the heart of Indonesia’s capital include museums dedicated to Jakarta’s turbulent history and exceptional ceramics.

Waingapu (Sumba), Indonesia

April 10, 2025 – April 10, 2025

One of the more undiscovered islands of Indonesia, Sumba is the adventurer’s dream where time seems to stand still. It’s a place of lagoons, wild horses, tropical forests, celestial waterfalls, soft white sand beaches and intriguing tribal culture. Life in Sumbanese villages unfolds according to the rhythms and rituals of Marapu, an animistic faith, and the guidance of local shamans. In villages outside of Waingapu, you’ll spot traditional bamboo houses with thatched roofs and megalithic tombs and gain insight on the well-preserved culture. You’re also likely to observe a handweaving technique known as ikat, which creates exotic fabrics for which the island has become known. Sumba just might be Indonesia’s best-kept secret.
