One of the main reasons to visit Indonesia is to explore its dramatic landscapes and spectacular natural attractions. One of the best places to do this is at the Tengger Caldera national park. This place is home to seriously impressive volcano landscape, old lava flows and huge calderas such as Mt Bromo (East Java), which is an active volcano over 7,000ft high!

Mt Bromo offers fascinating views from the rim of its crater and the actual climb to the top of Mt Bromo isn’t too difficult. Saying this, you can always do the climb on horseback, which only costs around $6 (~50,000 Indonesian rupiahs).

Borobudur, Central Java

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world and it's one of Indonesia's star attractions that really lives up to the hype! Borobudur main temple is huge and boasts ten levels all of which are beautifully decorated with unique relief panel designs. The hundreds of Buddha statues and stupas surrounding the temple are also a sight to behold, though the highlight of a visit to Borobudur is the amazing views you get from the top of the temple.

Places to visit in Jakarta Indonesia

You definitely can do with hiring a guide to show you around, though if you can’t get hold of a local guide you can always book tours from Yogyakarta, Bali or Jakarta. Either way, be sure to visit Borobudur early in the morning or later in day because this place looks even more magical during sunrise and sunset!

Bunaken Marine National Park, Island of Bunaken

If you’re planning to be in Manado (Sunda Islands), one place you really can’t miss visiting is the beautiful Bunaken marine park to enjoy a bit of diving for the day. Bunaken Island is located off the coast of north Sulawesi and it’s definitely, one of the top 10 places to go in Indonesia for scuba diving and snorkeling.

You can easily get to Bunaken Marine Park by boat from Manado in about 50 minutes and once there you’ll be rewarded with some of the most pristine waters and incredible diversity of marline life to be seen.

Moramo Waterfall, Southeast Sulawesi

As far as beautiful places to visit in Indonesia, Moramo Waterfall is certainly one of the prettiest spots in Indonesia. This waterfall is actually the highest and most popular waterfall in Indonesia because of its many climbable levels and pools beneath that you can jump into.

Besides climbing the falls, you can also enjoy pleasant walks in the beautiful forests around the falls, while spotting cool wildlife. By the way, while in the area around Moramo, you may as well head to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Moramo Bay for more fun activities like waterskiing and boating.

West Sumatra

The province of West Sumatra is one area of Indonesia that you certainly have to add to your list of top 10 places to go in Indonesia. If you’re looking to do plenty of outdoor pursuits while in Indonesia, you’ll love exploring West Sumatra's natural beauty and natural attractions such as canyons (i.e. Sianok Canyon), waterfalls and lakes (i.e. Lake Maninjau), as well as national parks and nature reserves such as Kerinci Seblat, Rimbo Panti, Siberut National and Lembah Anai.

Some of the most popular things to do outdoors in West Sumatra include hiking through the gorges of Sianok Canyon, surfing in the Mentawai islands, climbing the Gunung Angkosan peak, rafting the Alas River, and wildlife trekking through the jungles of Gunung Leuser national park.

Besides soaking in the natural beauty of West Sumatra, you can also visit colonial-era towns such as Sawahlunto where you’ll be able to tour an Dutch old coal mine.

Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi

Tana Toraja is without a doubt, one of the nicest places in Indonesia you can visit on a side trip. However long you plan to stay in Indonesia you wouldn’t want to miss visiting Tana Toraja for the world because it’s one of the few places in Indonesia where you can still appreciate century-old traditions and way of life.


The Torajans native group really knows how to pay respects to their dead. One of the most striking things you’ll see in Tana Toraja are burials carved into cliff walls, tombs carved into large boulders and even hanging coffins.

Tanjung Puting National Park, Borneo

The island of Borneo (Kalimantan) is without a doubt, one of the top 10 places to go in Indonesia for a natural experience. One particular place that you definitely can’t miss is visiting Tanjung Puting National Park, which is home to – Camp Leakey - a renowned orangutan sanctuary. 


Camp Leakey offers Orangutan eco tours that allow you to see cool wildlife such as wild orangutans, macaques and long-nosed monkeys, as well as a ton of birdlife like horn bills and snakebirds.

Puncak tea plantations, West Java

A visit to Indonesia wouldn’t be complete without visiting a tea plantation to see how tea is processed.


The most popular tea fields in Indonesia are located in Puncak (not far from Jakarta), which is a beautiful area with huge tea fields with many tea plantations such as the tea plantations of Walini Tea and Gunung Mas, both of which welcome tourists.

The island of Sri Lanka is easily one of the most underrated places you can travel in in Asia, yet Sri Lanka offers so many opportunities for touristy things to do that you may find it a little difficult to fit everything in a 2-week vacation!
Honeymoon in the World

If you're in the process of planning a trip to Sri Lanka be sure you consider adding the following to your itinerary of things to do in Sri Lanka:

Whitewater rafting tour

If you’re traveling to Sri Lanka between the months of May and December, you don't want to miss taking up the opportunity to enjoy a whitewater rafting excursion or kayaking trip down the majestic Mahaweli River, which is the longest and most challenging river in Sri Lanka.


You definitely have to be an experienced rafter/kayaker to go on the Mahaweli River. However, if you’ve never done rafting before, you’ll still be able to enjoy a rafting or kayaking trip on other Sri Lankan rivers such as the Walawa River or Kelani River in Kithulga (most popular whitewater rafting destination).

Whitewater rafting tours can take anything from 90 minutes to 3 hours and cost around $35 (including safety jackets and helmets). Tour operators offering rafting excursions include “Red Dot Tours”, “Sri Lankan Expeditions”, and “Sri Lanka Ecotourism”.

Take a scenic plane ride on the SriLankan Air Taxi 

One of the coolest and most enjoyable things tourists do for fun in Sri Lanka is going on a scenic plane ride for a bird’s eye view of Sri Lanka. 


On the SriLankan Air Taxi you’ll also be able to easily visit tourist spots in Sri Lanka such as Kandy (home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic), Bentota (home to the Brief Garden), Pidurutalagala (tallest mountain in Sri Lanka), the fortified city of Galle, Trincomalee (home to the Koneswaram Temple), Sigiriya (Lion’s Rock), and Anuradhapura (home to a huge white stupa called Ruwanwelisaya).


Scenic flights on the SriLankan Air Taxi depart from Colombo and cost roughly $80 (~10,500 LKR) for a round-trip ticket depending, of course, on the destination.

Take a 2 day safari trip in Yala National Park

A visit to Sri Lanka would, of course, not be complete without going on a wildlife safari tour in the country’s national parks. Wilpattu National Park (in Puttalam) and Minneriya National Park (in Girithale) are all great places to get close to wildlife, though Yala national park has to be one of the best spots in Sri Lank to see wildlife!


Yala may be the second largest park in Sri Lanka but it offers the best opportunity to see wildlife such as the wild boar, elephants, sloth bear and leopard in their natural habitat.

Yala national park is also home to a ton of bird species, crocs, giant squirrels, monkeys and tortoises that you'll certainly need at least 2-3 days at the park to see it all. Safari tours of Yala national park cost around $70p/person for a full day (including entrance fee to the park). Tour operators offering excursions in Yala include “Ajith Safari Jeep Tours” and “Walkers Tours”.

Climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress (a.k.a. Lion’s Rock)

Climbing to the top of Lion’s Rock is definitely something else worth adding to your itinerary if you plan to be in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. Lion’s Rock is over 1,200ft tall and boasts the remains of a fortress that was built on top of it back in the 5th century!


The hike to the top isn’t too difficult and even though it takes around 60 minutes, the climb is totally worth it because of the rewarding panoramic views you’ll get of the area around. By the way, don’t miss taking photos of the frescoes of the beautiful women decorating the rock face of Lion’s Rock and, also, do the elephant ride nearby.

Enjoy an elephant back safari at Habarana

Elephant rides are certainly one of the most popular things tourists do for fun in Sri Lanka and what better place to enjoy a ride on elephant back than Habarana?


The small town of Habarana is a great location for an elephant ride because of its close proximity to Sigiriya, Minneriya National Park and Dambulla, all of which are just a short bus ride. Habarana is also great for elephant rides because of the beautiful jungles nearby and riverine terrain that allows elephants to wade through the waters. Best time for an elephant back safari in Habarana is during the spring and summer months (Mar thru July).

See the largest herd of captive elephants in the world

When visiting Sri Lanka you cannot pass the opportunity to visit the elephant orphanage in Pinnawala to see the world’s largest concentration of captive elephants. The visit to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage will be easily one of your trip highlights of Sri Lanka because you’ll get to see up close elephants bathing and elephant calves being bottled fed by the carers.

Things Tourists do For Fun in Sri Lanka

Entry to the elephant orphanage is around $15 and you can easily reach it by bus from nearby Kandy town (takes around 80 minutes by bus).
