Its itinerary and focus are optimized in order to provide excellent conditions and locations for photography. Your guide is one of the best available in Indonesia with excellent knowledge of locations, people and photographer's needs. If you are new to photography of volcanoes and landscapes, this is the chance to learn and improve your own photograpy!

The program allows generously for sufficient time to explore the most interesting landscapes of Java and its volcanoes in depth: Krakatoa and Papandayan in West Java, Merapi in Central Java, and the Tengger caldera, Bromo, Semeru and Ijen volcanoes in East Java.

Even if you are not a photographer, you will get an unforgettable and competent introduction to Java's multicolored landscapes, people and their culture.

This tour combines easy to moderate excursions with a portion of luxury. You travel to some of Java’s most fascinating landscapes and meet its friendly people and their colorful culture.

Last but not least, an adventurous camp on Krakatau's tropical beach, as well as Indonesia’s delicious cuisine will round out the trip.

The tour can be combined with a flexible add-on program on Bali, where you and your guide decide which areas you are visiting, based on your preferences. There is no predefined program: after more than 2 weeks, you have become a close team and since the groups are always small, the best recipe for a great extension is to stay completely flexible and decide on the spot where to go and what to visit. Please inquire with us for details how to book this trip with an flexible extension on Bali (or elsewhere, of course). ...more info
