An amazing addition to your Yogyakarta Trip 🙌 - This is a unique private experience with Arma, a very friendly and competent guide. He showed us beautiful places and we had nice conversations with him. Everything went just fine! We can totally recommend this trip, when you want to see a bit more of the region apart from temples such as borobodur. 😁

Selogriyo Temple and trekking Java rice terraces - This tour is a great way to experience the beauty and serenity of rural Java. Selogriyo Temple is a Hindu temple perched on a hilltop overlooking the rice terraces. The temple is well-preserved and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The rice terraces are a sight to behold. There is a small coffee hut, and we really enjoyed sipping coffee with a breathtaking view. The view of the waterfall from the top was just as great. Our guide, Maxi, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to tell us about the history and culture of the area, as well as the different plants that we saw along the way. We learned a few Javanese phrases, too. Overall, I recommend this tour if you want a great way to experience the beauty and serenity of rural Java.

An unforgettable day in Java - I had an absolutely delightful day with my guide Maxi. I felt very privileged to visit such a beautiful, peaceful and largely untrodden part of Java. The rice terraces and scenic views were simply beautiful and Maxi was incredibly knowledgeable about the local farming practices, the land’s history and local religious/cultural traditions as well. Maxi also took me to a delicious local warung for lunch and was very helpful factoring in my dietary needs. Would absolutely recommend this tour and Maxi as a guide. Thank you very much for such a lovely day.

The most perfect day in Java - I had an incredible day! My guide Maxi was super friendly, punctual and spoke very good English. He made sure that I was comfortable throughout the trip, even stopping at a pharmacy for me to get medicine for my cold. He also took so many amazing pictures for me, which was much appreciated! The hike up to the temple wasn't too difficult and the views over the rice terraces were beautiful. I also got to try some delicious local coffee and fried banana and I talked to the locals, who were all really friendly. The waterfall was simply stunning! There are also loads of amazing photo opportunities there. This trip is a must when in Yogyakarta and if you get Maksi as your guide then you're super lucky, as he is an absolute star! Thank you so much for this amazing day.

The best day - You can trust that this excursion is as beautiful as the pictures show, and that the high praise given by others is deserved. Our guide, Arma, did a great job showing us the stunning beauty of the countryside north of Yogyakarta. It was an unforgettable day! We were a little confused about the booking process itself on TripAdvisor, but we trusted the system and it all turned out fine.

Beautiful experience in Central Java's countryside - We had an amazing time on our tour with Arma. This was a fantastic off-the-beaten path cultural experience. We went to a beautiful waterfall and hiked down to the falls. Note to wear water sandals or take off shoes because you do need to cross some streams. We then did rice trekking and had some tea and visited a historic temple. The rice fields and temple were stunning. Overall, this was an amazing experience to get to learn a sense of the Central Java countryside. It's also an active day filled with fresh air, beautiful hiking, and cultural insights. I fully recommend it to anyone staying in Yogyakarata who wants to get a genuine sense of Java outside the big cities.

Discover the Hidden Gems - Away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist spots we found tranquillity amongst the beautiful rice terraces. There is even a small coffee shop that has been setup which serves the most delicious local coffee - although I would recommend a ginger chocolate. Selogriyo Temple can be found at the end of a walk through the terraces and is a very small temple but in the style of the much large Borobudur. Kedung Kayang waterfall is also very tranquil with the view from the top a real stunner - especially if Merapi is feeling generous (as it was for us) and comes out from behind the clouds. Our guide Adit was excellent - faultless English, a wonderful personality and every knowledgeable and eager to answer any and all of our questions about our stops, Yogyakarta or Indonesia. At our request he even found the perfect lunch stop to try kupat tahu as we love being about try the local specials. Not to mention the sing-a-long in the car heading between destinations. Thank you Adit for a memorable day!
