Semarang is a city on the north coast of the island of Java, Indonesia. A major port during the Dutch colonial era, the city is known in Indonesia for its large ethnically Chinese population. Today, Semarang is a commercial port and administrative capital of Central Java. More a business center than a city for tourists, it is, however, an excellent gateway to the mountainous interior of Central Java and only some 60 miles away from world-famous Borobudur.
Swap the bustle of Java for Borneo’s lush rainforests, where Samboja Lodge becomes your base for adventure. This eco-friendly retreat sits amid regenerating jungle, close to sanctuaries protecting endangered orangutans and sun bears. Days are filled with guided forest walks, up-close wildlife encounters, a gentle river cruise, and, after dusk, an illuminating night safari. Before departing for Singapore, there’s one last chance to marvel at the orangutans—a memorable finale to your wild Indonesian escape.

DAY 1 – March 31, 2027
After disembarking the ship in Semarang, you will meet your guide and transfer to Yogyakarta to visit the 9th-century temple Prambanan. The temple is a magnificent piece of architecture adorned with sculptures and reliefs that are considered masterworks of Hindu art.
Unlike many temple complexes, Prambanan was not constructed in a symmetrical manner. The largest of its temples, dedicated to Shiva, rises majestically more than 150 feet into the air and is lavishly carved. If the day is clear, the temple will be silhouetted against the bright blue sky, a sight that is extraordinary.
Enjoy lunch at Manohara, a serene hideaway set within Borobudur’s sacred grounds. The restaurant serves thoughtfully prepared Indonesian dishes in a breezy, garden-framed setting that feels both grounded and contemplative, an inviting pause before exploring the temple
After lunch, you will visit Borobudur Temple. The world’s largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur was built during the 8th and 9th centuries. It was constructed in three tiers, the topmost containing 72 openwork stupas, each with a statue of Buddha inside. The guide will describe the construction and significance of Borobudur, a monument so important that UNESCO deemed it a World Heritage site.
Following your visit, stay overnight in Plataran Heritage Borobudur, a peaceful sanctuary in the shadow of Borobudur and the countryside. Enjoy an Indonesian dinner at your leisure before closing the evening.
Note: At Borobodur guests will be required to change their footwear for upanat (special footwear for the Temple that reduce wear and tear on the temple's ancient rock, they are a souvenir after the tour, socks cannot be worn with these sandals due – they are similar to flip flops)
DAY 2 – April 1, 2027
In the morning, after proceeding with the check-out of your hotel and settling any incidentals, you will meet the guide that will accompany you to the airport for a flight to Balikpapan on the eastern coast of Borneo.
Upon landing, savour an Indonesian lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to visit Mangrove Forest Centre for an afternoon Black River boat trip. Enjoy a leisurely boat ride to seek out the endangered Proboscis monkey and other wildlife.
After the river cruise, you will be transferred to Samboja Lodge, which sits in midst of a rainforest. The lodge was designed in a local architectural style using recycled materials wherever possible and is decorated with handicrafts from the Dayaks, the indigenous tribe of Borneo.
