With an astounding 17,508 islands, there is nowhere in Indonesia that isn’t spectacular in June. With warm sunny weather, fewer tourists, and relatively low humidity, it’s a time for enjoying white sunny beaches, swimming in crystal-clear waters, hiking up famous volcanos, and absorbing the rich cultural and spiritual magic of Indonesia.
With calmer seas, it is a perfect time for diving, snorkeling, and discovering the many islands Indonesia has to offer. Raja Ampat is a paradise for divers and snorkelers. Lombok and The Gili Islands offer pristine beaches, coral reefs, vibrant underwater sea life and a more relaxed atmosphere than Bali. The Mengangan Islands are a bit more remote and relaxed as well.
On Java, explore the natural beauty and sea life. Climb Mt. Bromo with perfect weather conditions and sweeping views. The island is also home to the sacred Borobudur Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the world. Explore mosques and palaces in Medan or cruise to Palembang, “The Venice of the East”. On Flores, discover the iconic Komodo dragon in Komodo National Park and experience it’s rich cultural heritage. On Borneo and Sumatra, June is a perfect time to see orangutans.
