The history of Indonesia is varied, full of myths and legends, of war and peace, of different civilisations moving in and out, stamping their mark, moving on and leaving behind architectural relics, evidence that is obviously visible throughout the islands of Indonesia. Whilst Bali has ancient temples, Java the majestic Borobadur, the Eastern Islands have fortresses, smaller in scale but most definitely a presence that cannot be denied. The history of spices, particularly of nutmeg and clove is evident in Eastern Indonesia.

Their geography and natural history remains as fascinating now as it was then and opens your eyes to a very different part of the world. Indonesia stretches over a huge area- the distance covered from London to Baghdad- and the islands within it provide such a range of landscape, natural history, cultures and peoples. Access to most of these areas on a traditional timber phinisi such as Tiger Blue allows you an adventure in comfort and style that was not available to these explorers of old, or indeed, to modern day travelers who try to access these locations overland.
