Borobudur Sunrise (Hill/Temple with Climb) & Merapi Jeep Tour

Woke up super early! Estri was very kind. The path to see the sunrise didn't have streetlights that day, which was super scary. I walked up the mountain in the dark by myself. Thankfully, other people joined me later. I couldn't see the sunrise very well that day because there were a lot of clouds, but it turned into incredibly beautiful mountain mist. A local guy helped me take pictures and then asked me for a tip. Since I was traveling alone and no one else could take pictures for me, I agreed. Borobudur is definitely a very unique place, but it seems like you have to go with a guide. Afterwards, I went on a jeep tour. Sitting in the jeep and driving on the trails made me feel like I was in a video game scene. I really felt it! Finally, I drove the jeep in the water and got wet, it was a really fun day!

I recently booked the “Sunrise at Punthuk Setumbu, Borobudur Temple, with Merapi Jeep Ride” trip through Klook, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Udik, was exceptional. He made sure everything ran smoothly and added thoughtful touches throughout the trip. After the breathtaking sunrise at Punthuk Setumbu, Udik bought us snacks for the descent and later took us to enjoy Kopi Luwak while we waited for our special access to Borobudur Temple. Despite booking just one day in advance, we managed to get Session 2 for the temple visit, thanks to Udik’s efficiency. Udik was incredibly respectful and helpful, assisting us with taking numerous photos to capture the memories. I highly recommend him and this tour to anyone looking for an enriching and well-organized experience. Thank you Udik, for making this trip so special!

Sadly didnt get sunrise at Setumbu, but at Borobudur got the first session at 8.30 and its good. Then went to the Merapi Jeep Tour, didnt got view of the Merapi because covered by cloud and fog. Based on info from locals, better visit at the morning to Merapi, the sky is clear.

we had a great time! our guide, Udik, went above and beyond to give us an unforgettable trip. I would recommend this package as a bunch of history nerds. for ladies, personally I think it’s fine to wear a dress even though you get on a 4x4. just take note that in the Merapi portion of the tour, there’s an option to pay for a longer ATV ride where you go through a river (and will get wet) so plan ahead for that. also, bring a hat and an umbrella — it gets hot! even though I am from SEA and am used to the humid weather, it was still very warm. overall, this was a great experience!

Thank you Mr Sang Yan for bringing us around!

Our driver Supri pick us up at 3.30am sharp. He's very pleasant and giving us a lot of information about the history of Borobudur. The ride was smooth. When we arrive at the temple our guide took us on a tour around the temple explaining the history of the temple before the sunrise. Then he found a perfect spot for us to view the sunrise which was awesome. He even held us to take beautiful and memorable photographs. The buffet breakfast was good. After breakfast Supri took us to a luwak coffee shop which was actually not in the itinerary which was amazing. The trip to Mt Merapi was really adventurous with the jeep ride and we really enjoy it although it was raining. Thks Supri for the memorable time we had in Yogjakarta.

though the start of this experience is way too early but it was worthwhile to see the sunrise. the walk up the temple was pretty good with the local guide giving good facts about the history.

We had an amazing family trip and were very happy with our driver, Sulis. He arrived on time and drove safely. The car was clean and comfy too. Sulis also helped to queue and secure the spot for lunch for us since the restaurant was quite crowded at that time. What we appreciated most was how kind he was. We always feel safe on the road and well taken care of. The local guide at Puncak Setumbhu, Merapi and Borobudur are very attentive and friendly as well. We truly recommend this service to any family looking for an enjoyable travel experience.

It was a seamless experience with Klook! Our driver, Lina, picked us up early and we were off to Borobudur for the sunrise experience. The view from the top of the temple was absolutely beautiful. The steps up the temple were rather steep for my elderly mum but she managed to get to the top! After breakfast at Manohara Hotel, we headed to Mt Merapi for our Jeep tour. We were lucky that our Jeep driver was extremely knowledgeable - he used to live in the area. He was also helpful and always offered to take photographs of us. At the end of it all, Lina drove us back to the hotel. I’m glad we booked this package on Klook - indeed, there was nothing to worry about, allowing us to enjoy the experience.

The tour is well organized and worth the price. Our driver, Noto, was very prompt--he picked us up on time (3:30 am), assisted us with the tickets, directed us on where to go and where he'll wait after. I highly recommend doing the sunrise tour for Borobudur. When you are blessed with a good weather, the views can be perfect. =) The crowd is just minimal cos we went off season and on a weekday. Also loved the breakfast buffet after. For the Merapi jeep tour, even though it was already cloudy when we arrived and didnt get to see the volcano, we still found the ride very enjoyable. Our jeep driver gave sufficient info/ description per place, accommodated our questions, and was also very keen in taking (nice) photos of us. =)
