Merapi at night
Irfan was a great fro er and guide. Extremely patient with the kids and us while we waited. Supplies of hot tea and noodles all provided. Great evening , even though we didn’t get to see any lava flow I would still recommend as really fantastic atmosphere and view of merapi.

Saw multiple eruptions and lava flows
Worth the visit! If you want to see a volcanic eruption this must be one of the best ways to do so. We arrived at the viewing location and were able to stay as long as we wanted. Eruptions are irregular but we saw a few of varying sizes and were only there an hour. Bring a sweater and chat with company and you will want to stay longer. Between eruptions the snacks and night sky were wonderful entertainment.

Nice evening, depending on nature
The excursion itself was super organized. Nobody can help it that the volcano wrapped itself in clouds upon our arrival and then didn't show itself again. It was probably spitting out lava when we arrived, but unfortunately, we had only just gotten out at that time. There were hot drinks and freshly prepared fried snacks while we waited. We would definitely book it again.

Great tour with some lava
Fun evening, well organised. Adrian was very attentive and speaks excellent English. The volcano was a little quiet but we saw several impressive lava discharges. Snacks and tea were very nice.
