8 Unique Experiences and Adventures in Indonesia

10 flights (including transit) and 12 days later, I am back to base and ready to share my unique adventures in Indonesia via Trip of Wonders, hosted by the ministry of tourism. You can only imagine how much work went into planning the trip to ensure best destinations and experiences for us. Hence, I bring to you few adventure activities which I usually would not do as a traveler in Indonesia. My options as a first time traveler would be - Diving in Gili, Surfing in Bali or hiking around Indonesia.

However, as part of this tour, I was able to view Indonesia with a different view and mindset altogether. As a nature lover and an outdoor enthusiast , I was happy to have discovered some popular, yet interesting activities and here are my favorites.

Ayung River Rafting in Ubud

8 Unique Experiences and Adventures in Indonesia

This was one of the best part of the trip for me. Ubud is stunningly beautiful and Ayung river is surrounded by lush green forests, making for spectacular scenery while going down the rapids.

It is a fun adventure activity of moderate difficulty levels. The rapids are grade 2 mostly so its a easy rafting experience for beginners. However, the steep climb up post your rafting session, might leave you breathless.

VW Safari to Ubud

8 Unique Experiences and Adventures in Indonesia

Since we were based out of Kuta, it was quite an exhilarating ride to Ubud in our jazzy vintage, open roof Volkswagen cars. I felt like a rockstar crossing villages and farms with the wind in my hair and a chauffeur to drive me around Bali. This is seriously one of the best unique adventures I have experienced. Rent one of these cars for a half/full day tour to ride around in style with family or friends.

Trekking to Padar Island

8 Unique Experiences and Adventures in Indonesia

Since we are talking about highlights, this is right up there among the top adventure activities I experienced in my recent trip to Indonesia. To view the best part, you need to do a steep hour long hike but it is really worth the effort. The view from top is mesmerizing and you would want to keep coming back.
