| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Jakarta | Take the time to learn about country's ancient and modern history at the National Museum and Purna Bhakti Pertiwi. |
| Days 2-4 | Pangandaran | Seek out exotic wildlife on a walk through the stunning coastal reserve. Take to the countryside by bicycle or visit the gorgeous Green Canyon. Make sure you're back in time to see the fruit bats fly over West Beach at sunset. |
| Days 5-7 | Yogyakarta | Java's cultural heart has great atmosphere. From the sprawling palace to the bird markets, batik workshops and the extraordinary Hindu and Buddhist temples nearby, 'Yogya' is one of the most appealing cities in Asia. |
| Day 8 | Seloliman Nature Reserve | Learn all about traditional medicines at the Seloliman Nature Reserve, a peaceful patch of forest on the slopes of Mt Penanggungan. |
| Day 9 | Mt Bromo | Travel to the fertile homeland of the Tenggerese people. Up before dawn the following day, cross the spectacular Sea of Sand to climb the smouldering Mt Bromo as the sun rises over East Java. |
| Days 10-11 | Lovina | Enjoy surf, sea and sand on one of Bali's most charming beaches. Take a boat out to see dolphins, snorkel or scuba-dive along the reef, enjoy a Balinese banquet or visit a Buddhist monastery. |
| Day 12 | Tirta Gangga | There's free time in Tirta Gangga to swim in the Rajah's old stone pools or explore the lush green rice terraces that surround the village. |
| Days 13-15 | Ubud | With artists, woodworkers and silversmiths workshops lining the town's streets, Ubud is an art-lover's dream. End the adventure with an energetic kecak dance performance, where dancers are whipped into a trance-like frenzy. |
