WILD INDONESIA: BALI, KOMODO & BORNEO EXPEDITION 2024

Dragons, Temples, & Coral Reefs

Bali, Komodo & Borneo – just the names evoke exotic imagines of dense forests, cloud-shrouded mountains, ancient temples, mysterious cultures and unusual wildlife. Indeed, all three places have all of these attributes and, in places, feel like a lost world that time forgot. A place where dragons still rule islands; undamaged coral hosts a profusion of fish; jungles overgrow ruins; rare snow-white Bali Mynas dance in the trees; and huge red Orangutans feed in the canopy. EcoQuest Travel is proud to offer an extraordinary journey to the islands of Bali, Komodo & Borneo! Bali is the cultural heart of Indonesia and we will explore temples, witness the grace and precision of Balinese dance and search for rare birds and primates. From Bali we will travel to Flores, an island in the Lesser Sundas archipelago. Flores is the gateway to the remote islands of Rinca and Komodo – home to the famous Komodo Dragons. In addition to the dragons these islands are home to an array of wildlife and some of the best coral reefs on earth. From Flores we travel to the remote swamp forests of Borneo where we will search for iconic wildlife such as Orangutans, Proboscis Monkey and the Slender-snouted Crocodile or False Gharial. EcoQuest Travel invites you to join us as we journey to wild Indonesia to snorkel with mantas, explore Bali’s temples and parks, watch thousands of giant Flying Foxes take flight, walk with dragons and search for amazing wildlife.
