Pindul and Jomblang Cave Day Tour with River Tubing Experience

Wow! an experience like I have never imagined!!! so the day started with waking up at 6:30 and getting picked up by our lovely driver. the drive was about 1.5hours to the first location ( Jomblong Cave) so you have some time to nap, however roads aren’t smooth about an hour in so get ready for a bumpy ride. we settled in for about 40mins, drank lovely tea and changed into the boots and helmet. Be sure to bring some long socks so the mud doesn’t go to your feet! and wear light clothes as it gets sooo hot there (may depend on weather) we explored the cave and took the best photos ever. then made our way back up and had some beautiful dishes (small portion for me though) we then went to do the river tubing and that was even better. make sure to wear swimming clothes as you get so many opportunities to swim and even jump into the water. I Will never forget this day 100% worth it

It was a great experience. It was dry season in September so Jomblang Cave wasn't as muddy as expected. The view was stunning and surreal. The staff were patient and dedicated to keep us safe and helped us take many nice photos. After lunch, the journey at Pindul Cave was as enjoyable. Despite me unable to swim, I felt safe while floating down to river on the tube. You can see that the guide was dedicated to bring the best experience.

There is a separate entrance fee of 7,000 IDR to enter Jomblang Cave. I think it would be more helpful if the explanation was a bit clearer. At Jomblang Cave, you are lowered by rope 60 meters down into the cave to enjoy a natural light show. The descent and ascent into the cave are handled very carefully, so there was no fear. There is a short wait time for both descending and ascending. For the Pindul Cave tubing, you sit on a tire tube and are pulled along by a guide. It seemed that the photo-taking style and spots varied depending on the guide. To be nitpicky, it would feel more thorough if water was distributed before entering the cave or if there was a detailed explanation of the entire process, but overall, it was a wonderful experience that allowed me to reaffirm the power of nature.

Both caves were incredibly interesting. Although we arrived a bit late at Jomblang Cave due to the drive, joining the third group, our overall experience wasn't shortened, and it was still a lot of fun. You can see that the people in this small village rely on the cave for their livelihood; it's a very simple and authentic place. Lunch was simple yet delicious. The tubing at Pindul Cave in the afternoon was even more enjoyable, offering a unique way to get close to nature. I loved it. While booking a private tour is more expensive than a group tour, I believe it offers great value for money because we had our own private transportation and could explore at our own pace. Our children, aged 11 and 13, were able to complete the activities independently. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an amazing experience! There were only three of us, my friend, another joiner, and me so the whole tour felt relaxed, personal, and never rushed. One thing I really appreciated was our driver/guide. He was very responsive on WhatsApp even before the tour, which gave us peace of mind. That was a huge difference from my previous experiences with other tours where communication was difficult. Jomblang Cave looked exactly like the photos and videos I'd been seeing online. The famous light from above is just as magical in real life, and it's definitely worth experiencing if you're visiting Java. Highly recommended if you're looking for a well-organized and personalized tour!

I really enjoyed the trip and I would definitely go again. However, I don't feel like I was adequately prepared, especially for the first cave. It's a 60m repel down into mud. Lots and lots of mud. Some of the mud is slippery and some will hold your borrowed boot. You only need to walk about 300m through all the mud each way. Somehow it took about 3 hours to go down, walk around, take pictures, and get pulled out, and we were the 3rd pair lowered down. It would take longer if we didn't get there very early. They do have showers when you make it back out. Lunch is also provided by the cave. It wasn't the best and it definitely wasn't warm, but it's edible. The second cave was a short raft trip, but after you go down a nice river. I really enjoyed the float down the river. It was exactly the reward I deserved after all the work of the first cave and carrying my tube past all the slippery rocks to the river.

Romy from Tejong Asia was an excellent tour guide. He arrived early to pick us up and was able to drop us off at different locations along the way so we could get the things we needed, such as breakfast, water, and iced drinks. He was very accommodating throughout the trip. he also edited the videos for us; he took photos and videos for the tour. He took the initiative to make a video on his own, and it was super cute and high quality. He also prepared plastic bags for us after the tour because he knew that our clothes would be wet, which was very helpful. Thank you, Romy. Anni from Pindol cave and gave us the best tour and even gave me his slippers because I lost mine in the water while he walked on the rocks barefoot and carried our rubber tubing for us, truly the best experience booking this tour. highly recommend for anyone looking to do smth fun in Jogja!

Mr. Didi is early on our pick hp time and it was good because we are number 3 for the Jomblang cave. the experience on the cave is fun. You will be manually put down and pull up by the people. the sun rays are breathtaking to see. If you are not that active you might find it kinda difficult going down and up to the cave. but overall, this is a good experience. next one ia the Goa Pindul, our guide likea to takes a lot of video and photos. he is quite funny too. The quick pick ul trick ride a cool too. Just a note, you should bring dry bag or waterproof case for your things so that it will not get wet. there's also a comfort room to take shower after the acrivity

Jomblong cave:Provided with boots (bring socks), helmet and a harness. Had 2 guides with us, group of 15. Not suited for children or those cant hike or the elderly. Mud is very slippery. Absail down 60m, walk 300m through a dark cave(guides have torches/use your mobile phone torch) and you will end up at the "Ray of Light". The guides help take photos and after 20mins there, head back. We then got hoisted up to the entry point. provided with a delicious lunch and tea/coffee Pindul Cave: relaxing and refreshing. Its a short journey, but you get to go through a cave and there are tiny bats- After they take us to Brides Waterfall- longer time in the water and very relaxing. The guides even pull you along! You will need to be able to bring your own tube with you but they are not heavy. Driver: Erich message night before and he was on time. friendly and drives safe. Makes sure you are comfortable and is easy going. Didn't rush us after each activity. Best day! dont miss!

Just wrapped up these cave tours via Klook and it was a solid 4-star day! Pickup was right on time at 6:30 AM, and our driver was super friendly and patient all day—dropped us back at 5:30 PM. The Jomblang cave rappel was absolutely epic—super cool and fun, definitely the highlight. We lucked out being the first group of 30 in, so we got to rappel back out first too. But wow, the queue to get back up and out was the slow part—there were three other groups (90 people) behind us, and that wait really dragged things down. Pindul cave was a nice, chill float afterward—perfect way to unwind. It’s more sunny for this part, so haven’t sun protection ready. If you’re booking, try to be in the earliest group possible to avoid the bottleneck. Overall, a great adventure with a few hiccups—still totally recommend it!
