Why Indonesia
Why travel to Indonesia
Straddling the equator across more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago — a sweep of active volcanoes, coral reefs, ancient temples and hundreds of living cultures. Here is what to expect on the ground.
What's the weather like?
Indonesia is tropical and warm year-round, with two seasons rather than four. Lowland temperatures usually sit around 26–32°C. The dry season (roughly April to October) is the most popular time to travel, while the wet season brings warm afternoon downpours. Highland and volcano areas are noticeably cooler.
Top things to do
- Watch sunrise over the volcanic caldera of Mount Bromo
