1. Bali
Bali is one of the most visited islands in Indonesia. Bali is rich in culture, friendly local people (Balinese), and has many historic places such as Tanah Lot, Besakih (The mother of all temples), Singaraja, Klungkung and many more. The beaches in Bali are very often become the hot spot for surfer from Australia such as Kuta, Nusa dua, Seminyak and Sanur. Apart from the powerful wave for surfing, Bali also has a beautiful white sand a long the Badung and Lombok strait. if you visit Bedugul and Kintamani, you will find the most beautiful lakes in Northern of Bali. You may visit Holy monkey temple called Sangeh in the North of Bali. Beware of your camera, hat and belongings, because there are tons of monkeys that most likely will steal from you.
2. Borobudur
Borobudur is an ancient Buddhist temple and stupa. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and located in central Java island, the most populous island in Indonesia. It built around 8th century during the peak of Sailendra dynasty. This is a huge temple that I ever visited, there are many emboss carved sculptures on the each wall that telling the chronicles of Sailendra dynasty. I was so tried to walk around the temple on each levels. Hence, I just straight went up to Stupa, the top of the temple.
3. Mountain Bromo
Mountain Bromo is one of the still active volcanoes in Indonesia and located in East Java island. It surrounded by Sand of Sea and has 2,329 meters high and 10 km wide diameter in Tengger caldera. It has 250 concrete steps from the foot of mountain up to the edge of crater and the visitors are able to gaze inside the smoking crater. We took the Jeep to pass the huge Sand of Sea (it felt like you were at the desert) on the foot of Mountain while some tourists rode the horse. These sand are comes from volcanic ashes that erupted many years ago. It took me ten minutes to climb up to crater because you get tired easily on the high elevated area.

4. Lake Toba (indonesian: Danau Toba)
Lake Toba is the largest resurgent caldera on Earth and located in the Sumatra island. Based on geologist, Lake Toba was the site of massive volcanic eruption on 75,000 years ago. It is like Yellowstone in the state of Wyoming. It is one of the most visited places in Sumatra island. Lake Toba is a very beautiful place. We went for boat ride, trekking and enjoying the local food.
5. Komodo National Park
Komodo island is a must see place for adventure tourists. Komodo island is the home of 5000 wild Komodo dragons. We took a boat to get on this island and I saw at least a few Komodo dragons swimming around. I can't believe it, this giant lizard is actually able to swim freely like a crocodile. But, it was kinda scary because Komodo dragon have been known to attack humans.
