From dramatic sunsets over glistening salt water to mountain peaks embraced by lingering fog, the natural landscape in Indonesia is one of a kind. Whether you want to explore Bromo Mountain, visit the dive site at Komodo Island, or rub elbows with the crowds in Ubud, there is an Indonesian experience right up your alley. And when you book one of the cheapest flights to Indonesia, you will still have enough cash in your wallet to snag some gourmet street eats in Jakarta.

Exploring Indonesia

With just two main seasons—wet and dry—the best time to visit this Southeast Asian destination is during the dry months. In most parts of the country, the dry season begins in May and lasts through September. This holds true in regions such as Bali, Papua, and Java. If you plan to travel on a budget, fly from Sydney to Jakarta or Denpasar Airport in May, June, and September. You can enjoy dry conditions for hiking, swimming, and shopping without paying the peak prices that hit in July and August.

If you plan to visit Sulawesi, the seasons are a bit different. Stay here in June or July, and you're likely to get hit with some rainy conditions. To explore Lembeh Strait or Bunaken National Marine Park during drier weather, try travelling to Sulawesi from August to October. If you plan to stay awhile, be sure to check out domestic flights and ferries between the islands so you can experience the full diversity of Indonesia.
