EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE
Dreaming of a tropical holiday filled with secluded beaches, quaint villages and coral reefs teeming with vibrant fish? Beyond Bali, a collection of destinations across Indonesia – largely undiscovered by Australians – await, each one more staggeringly beautiful than the last.
Getting on a plane might not be on the cards right now, but what better time to start dreaming and planning? After all, these islands will still be here for you when you’re ready.
Lake Toba
BLAME THE gargantuan lake located right in the caldera of a super volcano, or point to the backdrop of lush, emerald forests, but Lake Toba is enjoying a meteoric rise as one of Indonesia’s bucket list destinations. Located in North Sumatra and highlighted in endless social media feeds, visitors can expect luxury glampsites aplenty in stunning locations, traditional villages offering a taste of authentic Indonesia, and yes, the opportunity to kayak Southeast Asia’s largest lake.
Getting there: Flights to Silangit Airport (a 1.5 hour taxi ride away from Lake Toba) arrive daily from Bali, Jakarta and Medan.
