Relax onboard and look forward to the unforgettable moments that lie ahead as you cross continents and oceans en route to Southeast Asia.

Overnight onboard your international flight to Jakarta.

Day 2 : JAKARTA – A CITY OF CONTRASTS, CULTURES, AND TIMELESS STORIES

After your flight lands at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, you’ll proceed to the West Lobby of the terminal, where your local representative will warmly greet you and assist with your transfer into the heart of the city. Settle into your hotel and take a moment to relax after your journey.

The remainder of the day is yours to explore.

Here, Javanese, Malay, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, and European influences converge, creating a rich mosaic of architecture, flavours, and customs.

Overnight in Jakarta, where the spirit of Indonesia’s capital city hums beneath the lights of a place forever alive with movement, music, and timeless intrigue.

Day 3 : DISCOVER THE RICH HERITAGE OF JAKARTA

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, embark on a captivating exploration of Jakarta’s cultural and historic heart. Today’s guided sightseeing tour will unveil the many faces of this dynamic city, where centuries of maritime trade and colonial influences have left an indelible mark.

Begin your journey at the evocative Old Port of Sunda Kelapa, once the lifeblood of Jakarta’s development. Situated at the mouth of the Ciliwung River, this bustling harbour still hosts traditional wooden Phinisi sailing ships, harking back to the era of spice traders and seafaring merchants. Soak in the atmosphere of a bygone age as you watch these majestic vessels being loaded by hand.

Next, step into Old Batavia (Kota Tua), the city’s well-preserved colonial quarter from the era of the Dutch East Indies. Here, the elegant Fatahillah Square offers a glimpse of early 17th-century architecture. Admire grand colonial façades and imagine life during the height of Dutch influence, when Jakarta was known as Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East India Company’s vast trading empire.

From colonial charm to cultural vibrancy, continue to the atmospheric streets of Glodok, Jakarta’s oldest Chinatown. Wander through a labyrinth of narrow alleys where colourful market stalls spill out onto the streets, and where small artisan shops and centuries-old Viharas (Buddhist temples) stand tucked between modern buildings. It is a world of fragrant spices, traditional handicrafts, and deep-rooted community life.

The day also includes a visit to the fascinating Jakarta Museum, where exhibits offer deeper insight into the city’s complex past and cultural diversity. Should your visit fall on a Monday, when museums are closed, this part of the experience will instead take you to the colourful streets of Little India, offering an equally rich cultural encounter.

Your final stop is the iconic National Monument (Monas), a towering 132-metre high column rising above Merdeka Square. This proud symbol of Indonesia’s independence provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable photo to commemorate your day of discovery.

Overnight in Jakarta, a city where every street corner whispers stories of resilience, transformation, and vibrant cultural fusion.

Day 4 : FROM JAKARTA TO YOGYAKARTA – A JOURNEY INTO JAVA’S CULTURAL HEARTLAND

After breakfast, bid farewell to the vibrant streets of Jakarta as you transfer back to the airport for your flight to Yogyakarta, the soul of Javanese culture.

Your first stop is the iconic Keraton, the magnificent Sultan’s Palace, an elegant complex where time seems to stand still. An oasis of serenity within the bustling city, the palace showcases stunning architecture, opulent royal chambers, and a living display of Javanese culture.

Next, explore the enchanting Water Castle, also known as Taman Sari. Once a royal garden, it features ornate bathing pools, hidden underground tunnels, and elegant pavilions — a tranquil retreat built for the Sultan and his family.

Continue to the fascinating Museum Sonobudoyo, home to an extensive collection of Javanese art, artefacts, and wayang (shadow puppets), offering deep insights into the region’s spiritual and artistic heritage. Afterwards, immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant craftsmanship with a visit to an authentic batik workshop, where you can witness the intricate process of creating this beloved Indonesian textile.

For a more active start to the day, you may choose an optional Morning Cycling Tour through the surrounding countryside.

After check-in, the remainder of the day is yours to relax and explore at your own pace. Perhaps unwind with a traditional Balinese massage, letting centuries-old healing techniques melt away travel fatigue. Or wander through local art galleries and boutique studios that showcase Bali’s thriving creative spirit — from intricate wood carvings to vivid paintings and contemporary crafts.
