The sheer scope of Indonesia’s 17,000 or more scattered tropical islands means that the opportunities for adventure are as diverse as its multi-cultured people. Bali may be the tourist heart of the nation, but there is so much more to uncover, from dense rainforests and volcanic landscapes to deserted white-sand beaches.
