Expedition
Experience a very different culture
Indonesia is a melting pot of religions and cultures including Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism. Despite this diversity Indonesian societies are open and tolerant, and visitors will note the inclusiveness and friendliness of the people. Celebrations and festivals are very important, along with traditional arts and a love of spicy, savoury food.
Explore the ocean
In the Komodo National Park, teams can learn to dive and gain their PADI Open Water certificate in a PADI 5* Dive Centre. Diving amid Indonesia’s stunning coral reefs provides the perfect opportunity to witness some of the incredible marine life that inhabits the waters.
Working with local communities
Participate in a community-based project and gain a real understanding of local culture. Help to develop the infrastructure of a rural village by repairing houses or building community forest shelters. Alternatively, get involved in a conservation initiative aimed at recycling plastic waste.
Encounter the wildlife
Indonesia is developing rapidly, and this has had a huge impact on the country’s natural resources. Learn about the threats to marine and land habitats resulting from overfishing, deforestation and pollution, and the conservation efforts that are being introduced to protect the environment.
What to expect
