A wild look at Indonesia, a lauded hotel at a winning price and more

Orangutans and Komodo dragons are among the stars of a 14-day/13-night women-only tour called Untamed Indonesia. Wild Women Expeditions is offering the expedition in April, May, June, October and November of 2019, with some dates already sold out. The trip begins in the Indonesian part of Borneo, home to one of the world's oldest rainforests. There, guests have the opportunity to experience native culture and observe wildlife such as proboscis monkeys and hornbills while spending nights aboard the Rahai'i Pangun Houseboat. On Palas Island, there will be a visit to a site where the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation makes it possible for orangutans that were born in captivity, rescued or domesticated to be re-socialized into the wild. Moving on, there will be a three-night cruise that includes Rinca Island, home to Komodo dragons as well as wild pigs and buffalo, and Komodo Island. It has about 2,000 of the dragons, which can grow to 10 feet in length. On another day, guests can snorkel and possibly swim among manta rays. The final days of the tour are spent on the magical island of Bali, noted for its terraced, bright green rice paddies. There'll be a visit to a traditional Balinese healer and a trek up an active volcano where a guide will cook a meal using steam vents from the volcano. A temple tour, bike outing and time to just kick back and relax are on the itinerary. The trip is priced at $4,995 per person, double occupancy, which includes all meals, lodging and transportation among the various locations. International air is extra.
