The tour was absolutely fantastic! Our driver, Jay, picked us up from the hotel right on time and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We had great conversations and an amazing time at Mount Merapi and the caves. We highly recommend this tour! 👍🏻😊

Great day out
Thoriq was a very good driver and tour guide; he had a lot of information and drove very well.
Mt. Merapi was very beautiful once the sun illuminated the volcano.
Jomblang Cave was an experience.
Pindul Cave was nice.

Amazing experience, please do this tour!
Amazing experience! My driver Bibis was so good and patience after this tour that lasted around 12-14 hours in total, he made the journey very easy between all the spots. The sunrise at Mount Merapi was lovely and thankfully we got a clear sky so we saw it without any clouds around, I must say the gem of this tour is definitely Jomblang Cave, I was so amazed on how big the cave is and also the light entering trough the top of the cave is one of those experiences on a lifetime, even if you have zero experience you can do this tour because all of the technical staff were very professional to go down the cave and help you. Pindul cave was also lovely but, I was a little underwhelmed of seeing the amount of plastic and trash around the river, with such a beautiful landscape it will be worth to spend some money and clean the river and the surroundings because it really was a beautiful spot, surrounded by rice fields and plantations.

Great experience
So fun! Jomblang cave was a unique experience. You're manually lowered in and out of the cave two at a time so there can be a lot of waiting around. Overall, it felt safe (Even for children) and was an interesting experience. A lovely lunch is served once you are out of the cave. book in advance, you can't always get walk up tickets at the gate.
Pindul Cave was really fun. My family loved the relaxing float through the cave and down the river. The water was warm and there were a couple opportunities to jump from vairing heights and swim. Pack a hat/sunglasses and a change of clothes.

Our driver and guide...
Our driver and guide Bibis was an excellent help. Very flexible for all our needs, and very knowledgeable about every stop. The trip was in a spacious vehicle just for us and it doubled as a good meeting point and storage area for each of the stops. We were handed off to a professional guide at each stop that took us on the activity and dropped us back to Bibis. The exchange of money at each stop was handled by Bibis which simplified everything. No tips were requested or expected from anyone. There was no breakfast provided so we packed some snacks but lunch was provided and it was a simple and nutritious plate of chicken and rice which we had at the jomblang cave stop after completing the activity. It is a long day with a lot of physical exertion so be ready to get tired and bring water and a change of clothes.

Intense, action packed day combining 3 must do activities.
Packed day starting at 04:30 from our hotel in Yogyakarta and ending being dropped back at 18:45. We ended up with what was essentially a private tour for our family of 5. Our guide/driver Himawan spoke very good English and ensured the trip ran smoothly. All 3 elements were really worthwhile in themselves and it compressed a lot of the visits we had wanted to do into a single albeit intense day! A few things to bear in mind are that the volcano section can feel surprisingly cold for Indonesia especially in the jeep with the wind. Also, you can leave extra items in the car whilst you are doing the activities so don’t worry about overpacking. Finally, on the Jamblang cave it is worth taking some water down to the start as you may be hanging around for a little while before your descent.

Fun and beautiful!
We went for the caves-only option (to avoid an early start for Merapi sunrise) and loved it! My 8yr old son said it was the best day of his life. Both caves were fun and both beautiful. I’d happily go again tomorrow!

Wonderful day trip!
Beautiful and well organized trip! Mount Merapi was beautiful at sunrise and floating down Pindul cave was a great way to wrap the day up. Bibis took us to an awesome coffee shop afterwards and was a wonderful guide and friend to us!
