Brown Bear Bay Lodge

Tucked into the wild, wind-lashed coast of Lake Clark National Park, Brown Bear Bay Lodge is a front-row seat to one of the last truly untamed places on Earth. Here, brown bears roam free across tidal flats and meadows, unconcerned by your presence—because we’ve learned to see them without intrusion. Remote, raw, and reverent, this is not just a lodge—it’s an invitation back to the wild.

“I’ve traveled a lot in my life, but nothing compares to this. One morning I was watching the sunrise at Borobudur with mist rolling off the jungle, and by the end of the week I was face-to-face with a Komodo dragon. The orangutans made me cry. The food was unreal. And the way World Untouched weaves cultural immersion with conservation made it all feel meaningful. It wasn’t just a trip—it was a reset.”

Pace and Place

  • This immersive Indonesia journey includes daily walks of 1 to 3 miles, often across natural, uneven terrain—from volcanic sand fields and jungle trails to temple steps and forest paths. You’ll navigate steep staircases at Borobudur, lava-scarred slopes on Mount Merapi, boat landings in Komodo, and root-laced trails in Borneo’s rainforest.

    This is an active, sensory-rich experience, designed for travelers who can move with confidence through changing landscapes and embrace the terrain as part of the adventure. While most walks are moderate in difficulty, heat, humidity, and remote settings can add challenge.

    If you experience joint, back, or mobility issues, we encourage thoughtful consideration. This trip is best suited for those who seek wild, immersive travel with a spirit of exploration—and don’t mind getting a little dirty along the way.

  • Indonesia sits just above the equator, which means tropical weather year-round—but with remarkable variation across its many islands. Expect warm, humid days with highs in the 80s–90s°F (27–35°C) and cooler evenings in higher elevations like Mount Bromo or Ubud’s jungled hills.

    Rain is always a possibility in the tropics, but our trips are scheduled in the dry season (May to September) for the best conditions—clear mornings, dramatic skies, and vivid sunsets. In Borneo, you may feel the air grow thick with jungle humidity, while the breezy coastlines of Bali and Komodo offer a refreshing counterbalance.

    Light, breathable clothing is key. And if you’re a sunrise chaser or volcano hiker, pack a light jacket—you’ll be glad you did.
