It is highly doubted that anyone would ever deny the fact that they have at least once in their lives dreamt of spending a fantastic holiday in the exotic Indonesian islands. Diverse in culture, wildlife, and language, island hopping in Indonesia is like visiting several countries rolled into one. Here are few suggestions of unique islands in Indonesia that will offer a glimpse of what this intriguing country has to offer.

Borneo

The third largest island in the world is probably the most popular Indonesian one. It is actually controversially divided between the Indonesian and Malaysian republic. What the island of Borneo is most renowned for is probably not its fabulous beaches which are definitely not to be missed, but also the great mountains situated in its inner side. What’s more the island is rich in animals and plants to be explored, which might certainly add some excitement to your trip there, if you decide to go for taking a safari in the impassable jungle. If you are more of a nature type, then this is the right place for you. The mixture of beaches and mountains gives you the chance to satisfy all your needs of sun and swim or fresh air and climbing. You might as well go on sightseeing trip, as the island has a lot of interesting cultural and historical facts and monuments to be shown to tourists.

Java

Another famous island, not praised because of its size or dense population, but because there is much more to it than that is Java. If you are sick and tired of associating islands with heavenly beaches, this is the place which proves just the opposite because it also suggests a lot more intriguing activities to be done while on the island. For example, you could get yourself in contact with the environment and enjoy it thoroughly by visiting a lot of natural parks and botanical gardens where you can see the unique flora and fauna of the island. You might also try the excitement of climbing a volcano as there are plenty of them there. If you, however, feel you miss the water, you can go for a sail or dive into the deep ocean as well as go surfing in the unique waves. An exciting landscape to be seen is the way people look after rice.

Bali

Our last suggestion is of the volcanic island Bali, probably the most appealing one for all tourists. It offers it guests a wide selection of places to be visited, cultural events and traditions to be seen and amazing activities to be done. For example, you might be spending your time best while trekking or hiking around the volcano and mountains, or even better – surfing, rafting and sailing in the nice waters around the island. In any case, boredom would never reach you. Make sure you don’t miss to go shopping while you’re there because you will be amazed by all the unique items that are being sold and the fact that you can bargain with the owners. Anyway, Bali is one of your best choices for an exciting and different holiday.

We all know what it’s like to lie under the sun and swim into the sea while we are on holiday by the seaside. Some of us might even feel bored with the monotony of the routine, even while on vacation. Our soul craves something new and interesting, a memorable experience that will set us free and let us embrace a different world. A fantastic option for such an activity is going snorkeling. These are some of the greatest places which provide you with the opportunity of enjoying the underwater world.

Fiji

The island republic in the Pacific Ocean is one of the best possible spots to try out snorkeling, mainly because of the beauty of the coral reef there. Even if it is the first time you have tried snorkeling, you can be assured that you will experience the magnificence of taking up such a hobby. You will definitely not be disappointed by your decision to dive down and relish the joy and freedom of the sport.

If you are more of an adventurous type, you can try even snorkeling at night which is even more exciting than the usual, certainly because of the adrenaline you feel by taking a night swim on strange tides. Fiji offers some great resorts which let you enjoy these activities, such as Jean- Michel Cousteau Resort, Daku Resort, Botaira Resort and Castaway Resort.

Australia

It would be your greatest mistake, if you are already a fan of snorkeling, to miss the thrill of visiting the most renowned place of all in the South Pacific – the Great Barrier Reef. It is undoubtedly the best destination to choose, providing you with marvelous sceneries which are breathtaking. A nice place to reach them is the Heron Island, which also offers you the chance for bird watching. Another good spot is Dunk Island, as well as Green Island Resort. Of course snorkeling is not the only thing that you can be doing there. You can design your holiday to exactly what you need and want from it, whether it be real relaxation or a thrilling experience you are looking for.

Palau

The last suggestion is not as famous as the previous ones, but definitely of no less quality when it comes to tourists’ desire to go snorkeling. Another divine underwater nature setting exposes itself to beauty lovers who are into the idea of getting in touch with it. The Republic of Palau certainly makes a profit out of the numerous people that wish to explore the marine world. Rock Island is not just a perfect place for holiday, it is also one for snorkeling, as it offers divers not only its beautiful flora and fauna but also some wreckages left from World War II, which makes it even more attractive to those who are keen on history. Nevertheless, it is a guaranteed spot for fun and adventure.
