When does the tour start and finish?

We’ll swing by to pick you up early—think 3:30 or 4 in the morning. You’ll be back around 1 PM, give or take, depending on traffic.

What should I wear or bring?

Layer up. It’s cold at sunrise but warms up fast. Go for comfy clothes, and definitely bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Oh, and your camera. Trust me, you’ll want to show off these views.

Is the Jeep ride safe?

Yep, totally safe. Our drivers know what they’re doing, and your safety is always the top priority. But if you’re pregnant, have back problems, or aren’t a fan of heights, you might want to skip the Jeep part.

How long is the Jeep ride? Is it bumpy?

You’ll spend about two hours in the Jeep, with lots of stops to get out, stretch, and take photos. The ride can get bumpy—hey, it’s a lava field—but if it ever feels like too much, you can always sit out a section.

Nope, food’s not included. But you’ll have time to grab something to eat or drink at the Borobudur Temple complex. Bring snacks and a water bottle if you want—it never hurts to be prepared.
