Extraordinary Journeys, the award-winning luxury travel specialist known for creating bespoke journeys across the globe, is thrilled to announce the launch of its newest expansion to Indonesia, now offering custom adventures in Sumba, Komodo, Bali, Lombok, Java, Borneo, and Sulawesi.
With the launch of Indonesia, Extraordinary Journeys reaffirms its commitment to creating exceptional, immersive travel experiences in the world’s most captivating destinations. These carefully designed itineraries showcase what the company does best, including personalized adventures, handpicked accommodations, expert-led excursions, and exclusive, behind-the-scenes access that brings each destination to life in unexpected ways. Every journey is crafted to strike the perfect balance between adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation, inviting travelers to go beyond the ordinary and uncover Indonesia’s breathtaking landscapes, rich heritage, and extraordinary wildlife.
“We are excited to bring our signature approach to bespoke adventure travel to the Indonesian Archipelago,” said Elizabeth Gordon, CEO and Co-Founder of Extraordinary Journeys. “Expanding into Sumba, Komodo, Bali, Lombok, Java, Borneo, and Sulawesi marks an exciting new chapter for us. Every itinerary is designed to deeply connect travelers with the region’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and fascinating history, getting them out of their comfort zone and ensuring the kind of immersive and transformative experiences we are known for in other parts of the world.”

“When most people think of Indonesia, they picture Bali’s beaches—but that’s just scratching the surface,” says Lauren Jafry, Head of Sales and Product Development for Asia at Extraordinary Journeys. “This is a country of staggering cultural and ecological diversity—17,000 islands, each with its own story. Our role is to guide travelers beyond the expected.”
“In Borneo, we exclusively use private charter klotoks—wooden riverboats that feel wonderfully off-grid—as we travel upriver through Kalimantan in search of orangutans and other wildlife. These aren’t five-star yachts, but they offer a different kind of luxury: slowness, immersion, and the sense of truly being somewhere else. By contrast, our Komodo journeys—also entirely boat-based—feature top-of-the-line private phinisi yachts. We charter private phinisi yachts to ensure our travelers are waking up in remote coves, not jostling with day-trippers from Labuan Bajo. It’s a more intimate, more thoughtful way to experience the magic of Komodo.”

“In Bali, we’re intentionally shifting the narrative. While some of our itineraries include touchpoints in Ubud or Seminyak—because they do offer meaningful experiences when done right—our goal is always to take travelers deeper. We encourage guests to discover the island’s quieter sides: the terraced valleys of Sidemen in the east, the black-sand beaches of the west, the misty coffee highlands of the north. Whether spending the day with Gus Teja—walking through rice paddies, learning to make palm sugar, and crafting bamboo flutes—or connecting with local artisans far from the crowds, we’re helping travelers experience a more textured and soulful version of Bali.”
