About Java

The heartland of Indonesia and its most densely-populated island, Java overflows with vibrant cities (including the capital, Jakarta) and a beautiful history. Urban centres are balanced with pretty terraced rice paddies, the towering Mount Bromo volcano, and ancient temples that are reminiscent of past kingdoms, including Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. In Yogyakarta, artists, batik painters, puppeteers and dancers meet, whilst East Java offers blissed-out beaches and verdant landscapes that force you to slow down and take a moment to recalibrate. With this blend of cultural heritage, a thriving modern side and sensuous scenery, Java really is Indonesia in a nutshell.

What to do

Why you'll love it

Your days on Java will be filled with astounding scenery, from witnessing the sunrise over the mystical Borobudur Temple to trekking across Mount Bromo's lunar-like terrain.


Off the beaten track

Skip the crowds and venture to the Dieng Plateau, an elevated region dotted with ancient Hindu temples and multi-coloured lakes formed by centuries of volcanic activity.


Something to think about

Given Java's size and diverse offerings, planning an itinerary might require choosing what you really want to see and what you could save for next time. Our top tip? Don’t try to squeeze too much in.

Wildlife in Java

The island is home to incredible species like the Javan rhinoceros, Javan hawk-eagle, and Javan gibbon. With urbanisation, many habitats are under threat but national parks like Ujung Kulon and Baluran serve to protect its native species, offering a glimpse into the island's rich biodiversity.
