Why Indonesia?

Indonesia boasts more active volcanoes than anywhere else in the world. Many of them are very photogenic and invite for exciting excursions ranging from easy walks to multiple-days trekking tours. Some of the most famous volcanic eruptions occurred in Indonesia in the remote and recent past, such as Tambora (1815) and Krakatoa (1883), both events that left a deep impression in history.
But Indonesia offers much more than volcanoes: It is also an extremely colorful and diverse country, with dramatic landscapes, wonderful beaches, thousands of islands, and bustling villages. Visitors are delighted by the friendliness of the Indonesian people.

Why choose VolcanoDiscovery for Your tour?

We can rely on a strong network of local resources. We work closely with experienced volcanologists, tour leaders, both local and foreign, as well as the best local suppliers. These professionals offer  safe, knowledgeable, exciting tours in volcanic and other environments. Our tours are dynamic products that have evolved with the years: We constantly monitor their quality to satisfy our commitment to make them as good and interesting as any possible.
We are offering both scheduled tours and tours on demand: for example, "From Krakatoa to Bali", our "classic tour", is an exciting study/ walking tour to Java's volcanoes with a minimum of physical requirements, comfortable accomodation and transport. It is an excellent introduction to Java's varied volcanic landscapes and the country itself. The tour "Fire Mountains of Java and Bali" is an example of a challenging trekking adventure that includes the very rewarding climbs to 3 of Java's most interesting and active volcanoes: Merapi, Welirang and Semeru.
VOLCANO DISCOVERY guarantees adventure, fun, and relaxation. We pride ourselves on our attention to safety and detail so that you can get the most out of this once in a lifetime experience!
