With the exception of Bali, Indonesia is mostly unexplored by most tourists. (For travel hackers, the fare from Jakarata to Bali on a low cost carrier like AirAsia is about $200). Jakarta is also a good springboard to tour the mostly unexplored rainforest of the Indonesian portion of Borneo. Borneo is also a good destination for diving. Enjoy.
