Contiki Adds New Trips to Indonesia

Contiki announces three brand new trips to Indonesia, namely Bali Island Hopping, Komodo & Flores Sail, and Indonesia Island Hopping, with first departures scheduled to kick off in July 2025.

There has been a considerable increase in the demand for trips to Bali, and Asia as a whole. In North America, searches for 'Bali vacations' have surged by a massive 234% YoY and for 'Bali trips' by 53%. In Q3, there has been a resurgence of interest in Asia travel, demonstrated by a sharp increase of searches of 52%, despite the long travel window and distance from North America.

This demand has been reflected on Contiki’s website, with Bali being the most-searched destination out of the places where the brand previously did not have any trips running. The brand has also seen nearly a 20% increase in 2025 trip bookings to Asia, compared to 2024.

“Bali has rightfully earned its reputation as a hotspot for young travellers, and there’s much more to discover there - so many interesting local traditions that also deserve recognition.  We’re pleased to say that our travellers will get to experience it all on these new Indonesia trips,”  says Melissa DaSilva, interim CEO of TTC Tour Brands.

Contiki's new 8-day ‘Bali Island Hopping’ trip will allow travellers to meet the locals to learn traditional cooking and farming techniques in Bali’s cultural capital, Ubud. Additionally, adventure-seekers will have the chance to learn how to dive, go white-water rafting, and even go snorkeling on a day-trip to the world-famous Gili Islands.

‘Komodo & Flores Sail’ is a great choice for travellers who want an Indonesian island hopping experience with a dose of underexplored gems & unique marine life. The 6-day adventure starts with an included flight to Labuan Bajo before heading into the sea on a houseboat for a 2-night stay. Travellers will have the chance to take a guided trek of Komodo Island, visit the famous Pink Beach, go snorkeling, see Komodo dragons with a local park ranger and other wildlife in their natural habitat and even swim with manta rays at Manta Point. Travelers will also visit Kalong Island, a lush hilly island home to thousands of bats.

For travellers who want the best of both worlds, ‘Indonesia Island Hopping’ is the perfect trip that combines all the experiences in Bali and Komodo Island for the ultimate 13-day sailing & island hopping adventure.

“We know our travellers have been waiting for us to introduce trips to Indonesia, specifically Bali. I would even go on to call them ‘Myth-busting’ trips, because they’ll show you a side of Bali that’s beyond just the buzzing nightlife, with plenty of cultural and adventure activities. Our travellers are going to experience a whole new way of island hopping in Indonesia,” adds Taryn Welsh - Director of Operations for Contiki – Asia & Australia. “We’re seeing a trend that young travellers are seeking trips that have more sober, cultural and adventure experiences. We really wanted to ensure that this demand is being catered to on our new Indonesia island hopping trips,”

With the launch of these trips, Contiki will have now launched over 50 new trips in the past 18 months, including the new Borneo Adventure, Ancient Wonders: Rome, Athens & Cairo, Albania Beaches and Peaks and more.
