Beyond Bali
The Republic of Indonesia embraces no less than 17.508 islands. It is therefore needless to say that there is much to see! BAM Tours invites you to discover some of Indonesia’s most sought after destinations, from the enchanting island of Bali to one of the most populous islands in the world, Java. From distinct Sulawesi to stunning Lombok and Sumbawa, join us in the unveiling of the wonderfully diverse Indonesian archipelago.

Sulawesi
Sulawesi – the eleventh-largest island in the world (some 175.000 km²) – located between Borneo and the Maluku Islands, is one of the four larger Sunda Islands of Indonesia. Its main cities are Makassar on the southwest coast and Manado in the north. The central part of the atypical island is jaggedly mountainous. Sulawesi’s different peninsulas are therefore better accessible by sea than they are by land.

Java
Once the centre of powerful Hindu kingdoms, Islamic sultanates and the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, Java now plays a dominant role in the economic and political realm of Indonesia. The island is almost entirely of volcanic origin and the thirteenth largest in the world, encompassing approximately 139.000 km2. A ridge of no fewer than 38 volcanic mountains graces the east-west shoreline of the island. more »

Lombok
Lombok, separated from Bali by the Lombok Straight, was first set foot on by the Dutch in 1674. While the Hindu Dynasty from Bali ruled the western half of the island, the Dutch settled in the east. In 1894, after the Sasaks rebellion against the Balinese rule, the entire island fell under the Netherlands East Indies’ power. 85% of the island’s population consists of the Sasak people, whose origins are believed to stem from Java. more »

The volcanic island of Sumbawa lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire, located in the middle of the Lesser Sunda Islands chain. Lombok is to the island’s west, Flores to its east and Sumba further to the southeast. Sumbawa’s 15.448 km² covers three times the size of Lombok and boasts a population of some 1.5 million people. An interesting chapter in the Indonesian historic journal involves the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, which is said to have been the most destructive eruption in modern history (exceeding the 1883 Krakatoa disaster between Java and Sumatra by four times the quantity of magma spew out. more »
