The Java Sea sits between the islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi in Indonesia and is a destination rich in natural beauty, history, and vibrant cultures. This shallow sea is known for its stunning turquoise waters, pristine islands, and fascinating marine life. Travelers can explore secluded beaches, dive into underwater worlds filled with coral reefs and tropical fish, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this tropical region.

The region is dotted with active volcanoes and lush rainforests. Mount Bromo, with its stunning landscapes and sunrise views, is a must-visit for adventurers on the island of Java. The turquoise crater lake of Mount Ijen, famous for its blue flames caused by ignited sulfuric gases, offers a surreal hiking experience.
