Indonesia is central along ancient trading routes between the Far East and the Middle East, resulting in many cultural practices being strongly influenced by a multitude of religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam, all strong in the major trading cities. The result is a complex cultural mixture very different from the original indigenous cultures.

Indonesian culture has been shaped by long interaction between original indigenous customs and multiple foreign influences.

In Indonesia, you'll encounter a festival almost every day, celebrating the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Such as anthropologists believe that the Balinese are descended from the ancient Chinese, the Indians and Arabs from the west, and others who came to the island directly or via Java and  in Bali there are over 20,000 temples which most villages should have at least three and every temple holds an ODALAN (temple festival) once every 210 days. Many of Balinese Temples have stories to tell which are of interest to people of all faiths.

Dance is the medium which stories have been told in for generations, the costumes are as elaborate as the moves - some of which take much training and agility to perfect. You can watch many of the traditional dances which are performed several times weekly.

Golf is a sport that is mainly played outdoors. It has a series of 9 or 18 holes that are far apart from one another. It is a relatively easy sport yet it can still sometimes be difficult to play for some. Find out how it can easy and fun for all.

Indonesian golf courses appeal to every caliber of player from beginner / recreational to amateur to professional players. Not only the quality of the courses, but the spectacular settings in which many of the courses are located is increasingly attracting the golfers from around the world.

Golf courses can be found in and near major cities throughout the archipelago. In recent years, many world-class golf courses have been developed in incomparable settings - located on the shores of picturesque lakes, inside a volcanic crater, on ocean cliffs, surrounded by lush tropical rain forest, on mountain sides, amidst rice paddies, and in valleys with a panoramic view of mountains surrounding the course.

Golf is special in Indonesia because:

• Courses are very scenic, well maintained, manicured courses, lots of flowers and are usually not crowded except on Saturday mornings.
• Playing golf is very affordable, so you get your money's worth
• The abundance of caddies makes all the difference because you don't have to carry your own bag! It's tough enough to walk for 4-4.5 hours without carrying those heavy clubs. Good service is received from caddies.
• Courses include international standard club houses with amenities such as international restaurants, bars, showers and locker rooms, Jacuzzi, massage and even manicure and pedicure services.

Problems encountered when playing golf in Indonesia include:

1. Kids on courses selling used golf balls they retrieve from us duffers. Sometimes they even find our balls in the rough for sale back to us. Not good! This is a nuisance; however, some courses do not allow it or they have it organized so that it is not a problem.
2. Some courses are very crowded on Saturday mornings. You should be aware that it could take up 5.5 hrs to play 18 holes on those busy days.
3. Some courses are walking courses; some are cart courses. People who cannot handle walking distances in the tropical heat and high humidity should use the cart courses.
4. Heat stroke is a real possibility, so drink lots of liquids out on the course, and don't forget your sunscreen.

With over 17,000 islands and a collection of glorious beaches, pristine lakes and rushing rivers unmatched anywhere in the world, Indonesia is the perfect place to take a splash and embrace some exciting water sports.

From hopping on a banana boat in Bali to white water rafting down the rapids of the Alas River in Sumatra to relaxing on the luxurious beach resort on Umang Island, there is no shortage of activities for water enthusiasts.

The crystal clear waters and brilliant sunshine make this an ideal place to try some new and exhilarating activities.

Indonesia is one of the most reliable countries for finding surf to meet your specific needs. It is considered that the months between March and September are the best if you are looking for bigger waves. During this period you can find large waves if that is what you are looking for, but if you are looking for a quieter less crowded period December till February is a good for surfers who are looking for waves of lesser intensity.

You can find a wide variety of boats to suit your needs. It's best to bring everything that you that you think you may need because tackle and surf shops are not so easy to find outside the major cities, and it is best to bring spares and other maintenance gear.

The fishing is great, with a wide variety of fish to be caught, too many to mention here! Reminder: as mentioned earlier, it's best to bring everything that you that you think you may need including sufficient spares. We have malaria on some of the islands so you should take precautions against it (see your doctor before you leave home). Even so it is best to avoid getting bitten so also bring some mosquito repellant.
Of course it is at your discretion that with the warm waters it is possible swim without a wetsuit, but it is best to wear something to protect you from the sun. The sharp coral also requires some kind of footwear. Helmets are also recommended, as well as waterproof SPF of 15 or higher sunscreen.
