- Ciwidey - After breakfast, depart at 8:00 AM to Ciwidey. We’ll stop to enjoy the countryside panorama, take a short walk to the terraced rice fields, visit a local village, see an old train bridge, and have a coffee break at a Luwak home industry, known for its expensive coffee processed through civet cats (optional, depending on time constraints). Then, continue driving to the White Crater.
- White Crater - At Kawah Putih, we’ll start with a hike to the viewpoint through the Patuha forest and explore the surroundings, including Sunan Ibu, Patuatea plantation, and the tea worker village. Then, visit Kawah Putih lake up close (7.10° S 107.24° E), one of the two craters of Mount Patuha, an andesitic stratovolcano. Mount Patuha is one of many volcanoes in Java. Drive back to the parking area for lunch.
- Tea Country, PTPN 8 - After lunch, continue driving to Rancabali and stop at the Rancabali Tea Plantation. Here, we’ll take a short walk through the plantation, enjoy the beautiful surrounding panorama, take some nice pictures, and then continue walking to Rengganis Crater.
- Rengganis Crater - Rengganis Crater is one of the most interesting craters in the south of Bandung. This narrow river valley steams and bubbles with volcanic activity. Locals have created artificial ponds near thermal springs of varying temperatures, some with bamboo pipes for a hot “shower.” The newest and largest of these pools, which is also the most accessible, is heart-shaped. Pools of warm mud offer the opportunity for a mud spa, touted to have medicinal benefits for your skin. Relax and enjoy the hot springs, then drive back to the hotel.

Great day trip from Bandung - This was a fabulous day trip giving us a fantastic insight into the people and places of the south side of Bandung
The scenery was amazing with the tour guide taking us on great ( but low effort)treks to some of the features of the area. Beng was a first class tour guide who entertainingly showed us the big sights as well as some of the smaller hidden gems
One of the best tours we have done!
Wel done Beng and our driver!

A great time - A friend and I went on this tour this week and were very impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly guide and driver, alongside the attractions themselves. Kawah Putih is a mystical place and they also offer very interesting insights into the lives of local people/the rice and coffee industries, which I think are impossible to access on bigger tours or just a personal journey.
I also recommend the mud bathing and hot spring, and the hikes to get there are manageable and scenic! Absolutely well worth booking this trip.

Amazing guide for an amazing tour - We had the privilege to have Beng as a tour guide for only the two of us and it was wonderful. He took us to the most beautiful and authentic places. He's knowledgeable and likes sharing his country culture. We had a wonderful time thanks to him

Exciting full-day excursion with great guide - We really liked the tour and we would definitely book it again! It was super organized and varied, with a visit to an old railway bridge, walk through rice fields and tea plantation, and of course Kawah Putih and Hot Springs. Our guide was super friendly, spoke very good English and gave us enough time at the individual spots. In addition, he had a lot of knowledge so we could learn a lot.

An excellent tour for a day in Bandung. - Booking and paying was easy.
The tour itself was good. The guide showed us and took us bit different routes, which was nice and on those routes there wasn't others.
The view of places we saw are magnificent.
The only downside might be the sulfuric air at the crater itself if you have a medical condition or sensitivity for stronger smells.
Otherwise highly recommend tour.

What a wonderful day! - We had a wonderful day with Dani and the driver Mameth.
Dani told us everything about Java. He knows a lot about nature. He showed us really nice places to learn everything there is to know about Indonesia.
He showed us rice fields, the kawah putih from many different ankles and we walked through a tea Plantage!
We came on places where no other tourist were, because Dani knows all the best places.
After a good lunch we went to the hot Springs. Here Dani made a lot of nice pictures and films from us.
On the way back we had so much fun with Dani! He is a very good guide, but also very funny!
Dani: Thanks for the wonderful day, we will never forget!

Great day trip with excellent company - We are a family with two young children and were picked up by Umien and a driver in the morning at the hotel to start the day trip. Umien speaks good English and since he is from the region, he also knows a lot to report. He told us about the history, the culture and the places he visited on the way. It never seemed rattled down or intrusive, but adapted the way we wanted it.
He was also considerate of the children, so we took enough breaks or he informed us what to do next so that we could adjust to it as a family.
The individual stations were also very worth seeing:
Kawah Putih was of course the highlight of the tour. Not only did he drive us to the crater, but we hiked up a nearby hill from which we had a great view. Bandung and its surroundings are generally a bit cooler than Jakarta and the rest of Java, so you can also hike a bit without breaking a sweat.
He then led us past a tea plantation where there were no other tourists, and we walked with the children through a kind of labyrinth of tea bushes, which the children thought was cool.
With the hot springs, I was skeptical at first because I read different reviews, but we all loved it there. As a woman, I would perhaps take a T-shirt or swim shirt with me, as there are more local tourists than Western tourists in the place, but is not a must. I don't want to give too much away, but it's worth it.
Overall, it was a very nice and successful day at an absolutely fair price.
We would book a tour anytime again with Umien and his agency.
Highly recommended.

If you want a great day with a good guide and good driver - Review Dani and Odi. Dani is a fine and nice guide. He tells you a lott about everything along the road and shows you the most nice places were not a lott of toerist come. Odi is a good driver and a nice men to talk to. Tet both have humor and we laught a lot together. We recommend them both, again thanks for the lovely day. Eugemiek and Paul.
