Indonesia is an amazing country located on numerous islands on the border between two great oceans - the Pacific and the Indian.
Some of the islands have been thoroughly explored and densely populated for a long time, and proudly keep historical sites of ancient civilizations. There are stunning volcanoes with magnificent and well recognizable views, and large cities coexist with pristine nature, jungles and alpine forests.

Other islands which we plan to visit, are not as explored. We will find ourselves in the wild jungle of Kalimantan island with no roads and various plants and animal species yet to be discovered by the scientists. Our group will have a small ship at our disposal, and it will become our home in the kingdom of wild nature for two full days. We will be taking pictures of wild orangutans coming to the river banks, and amazing proboscis monkeys living in the crowns of the trees. Kalimantan in the only place on the planet where you can find these unbelievable creatures.
We will visit Komodo island with its giant lizards, that used to coexist with dinosaurs, and shoot incredible landscapes of Padar island. We will also have a small ship at our disposal, and use it for exploring the islands of the Komodo national park.
In the additional program of our tour we will visit a remote aborigine village, and photograph an incredible lake chain of the Kelimutu volcano.
During our photo tour we will visit seven extremely diverse and beautiful islands and four really interesting national parks, get plenty impressions and take great pictures.
This trip will be remembered for a lifetime!
- You can take a drone with you. In some places we can take photos from the air. We will learn how to take pictures from a drone and share our flight experience.

We will be photographing them from only a couple of meters away, and it is just the very edge of the giant impenetrable rainforest inhabited by the rarest animals.
