1. Island Hopping in Thousand Islands

New year, new vacation. If that’s your motto for 2022,  there’s no better way to explore more destinations than do island hopping in an archipelago. One of the best clusters of islands where you can do this is the Thousand Islands.

It can be confusing to determine which island to visit but, luckily, there are plenty of tour options that provide a clear itinerary for you! Like this tour by Go Explore, for example. Here you will be able to explore one of the three stunning islands namely Kelor Island, Onrust Island, and Cipir Island.

You can swim on the crystal clear water, chill on the velvety white sands, or just sunbathe in the warm tropical sunlight. In these islands, there are also some architectural remainings from Colonial Era. How interesting is that?

2. Trekking to Upas Crater and Get Closer to Nature

Yes, trekking can be tiring and difficult to do. But, trust us, the reward that awaits you at the end of the trail is sooo worth it!

If you just started your trekking journey, Upas Crater can be a good starter option. Although you have to trek for almost 6 hours, your fatigue will just disappear once you reach the stunning crater

For beginners, we advised you to go on this adventure with trusted tour agents so you will be accompanied by experienced guides. Pssst, the guide usually knows the best photo spots around so don’t forget to ask them!

3. Explore the Beauty of Magelang

Looking for a way to awaken your zeal for adventure? Maybe a trip around Magelang will intrigue your traveling spirit! First, you can pay a visit to Borobudur Temple. Wear your comfiest shoes because you need to reach the top to get the best view!

If you want to hunt a sunrise moment, Nepal van Java is the best place to do that. This small village on top of a hill features colorful houses which go well with the majestic sight of the sunrise.

To finish your tour, you can create the best travel pictures by stopping by at Svargabumi. With a stretch of green rice fields as far as the eye can see under a bright blue sky, your photos are definitely going to look stunning!

4. Take Photos on a Volcano by Taking a Jeep Lava Tour Merapi

Asides from the historical temples and rich Javanese culture, Yogyakarta is also known for its natural beauties, one of which is Mount Merapi. For those of you who are curious about the volcanic mountain, going on a jeep lava tour is a must!

On this tour, you’ll be able to visit the area around Mount Merapi in a Jeep, which includes Museum Sisa Hartaku, Batu Alien, Maneuver Air Kalikuning, and more! There is a variety of vacation packages available with different durations, schedules, and destinations so you can find one that suits your style the most.

5. Self-Healing in a Relaxing Spa

Sometimes the best way to start the new year is to leave all the stress and problems behind. Healing physically is a different matter and a difficult one at that, but at least we can try to heal our soul first.

One way to do it is by going to a relaxing spa to unwind. Imagine how good your body and mind will be after a full body massage, a bath, and a sauna with beautiful views and calming atmosphere!

6. Purify Oneself with Melukat Rituals in Tirta Empul Temple

T-mates, did you know that Balinese people have a traditional purifying ritual? The term “purify” here doesn’t necessarily refer to a physical cleansing but more of a spiritual one. Melukat is the name of the ritual and it has been carried by generations of people.

The majority of Melukat practices take place in Ubud’s Tirta Empul Temple and can be done multiple times depending on the situation, aims, and requirements.  Nowadays, tourists can participate in the ritual as part of their spiritual journey in Bali. Interested to join in too?

7. Cycling Around in Sanur, Bali

It’s a worldly known fact that Bali is one of the heavens on earth. Once you set your foot here, you will immediately be immersed in nature. It may never come to your mind before, but cycling is a great way to put yourself into that enjoyment even further.

While cycling, you can stop by as many landmarks and attractions as you wish. From the Bajra Sandhi Monument to the beaches for an amazing culinary journey and the stunning sight of sunrise and sunset.

8. Body Rafting in Green Canyon

The legendary Green Canyon in Pangandaran, West Java, is next on the list of new year activities to try on! Green Canyon’s rafting experience is a little different from what you may expect, so be prepared for anything.

You will have a once-in-a-lifetime body rafting adventure here! Guess what body rafting employs if rafting uses a raft and tubing uses a tube. Yes, it makes use of your own body!

9. Chill by the Beach at Labuan Bajo

Labuan Bajo is without a doubt one of the most popular destinations in Indonesia during 2021. So let’s continue the trend to 2022, shall we? After all, it is popular for a reason, right? Sure, there are the ancient Komodo dragons, but its charm transcends that.
