The plane lands at Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, also known as Denpasar International Airport, 13 kilometers south of Denpasar. Please note that the best airfares usually sell out quickly, so we strongly recommend booking tickets in advance and buying a round-trip ticket.

Indonesia offers a variety of ideas about how to spend your time. You can visit an uninhabited island to enjoy the solitude; travel to remote villages where people still worship their pagan deities and observe primeval rituals; take wonderful panoramic photos of sleeping volcanos, colourful crater lakes, tea plantations and rice terraces; explore the jungles to see exotic animals unique to this region; dive into waterfalls or relax in hot springs; discover Bali temples and taste popular Indonesian meals.
While Indonesia’s regions have different culinary traditions, there are some common national dishes made of rice and seafood, rich in spices and chili. Enjoy traditional soto soup; pempek fishcakes; vegetable salads with tofu and gado-gado boiled eggs; and satay, which is a dish with seasoned and grilled meat, fish or chicken in peanut sauce.
Indonesia’s resorts are open all year round. The weather is always wonderful, particularly on the coast. The temperature ranges between +28°С to +33°С and the water is about +25°С. The rainy season lasts from November to February.
During the wet season, the rain falls mostly at night, with occasional showers during the day, so it should not affect your holiday too much. The only challenge is the roads outside urban areas and in the mountains that may be washed out.
If you plan to go surfing or diving, keep in mind that low tides begin in September and the sea can be rough until late November. Most surf resorts are closed at this time and diving is not allowed.
There are lots of traditional and unique products in Indonesia to buy as gifts to friends. Indonesian craftsmen create silver jewelry; wood statues, masks, furniture, decorative pottery and batik textiles with animal and flowers prints.
