Highlights
- Tangkuban Perahu - We leave Jakarta by car for a 3-hour drive and, upon arrival, spend an hour at the volcano, which stands at 1830 meters above sea level. Tangkuban Perahu, meaning “Overturned Boat,” offers breathtaking views and a cool, breezy atmosphere. The name is derived from a local legend about its formation, involving Dayang Sumbi and her son, Sangkuriang. This stratovolcano is located 30 km north of Bandung, the capital of West Java. It has erupted multiple times, including in 1826, 1829, 1842, 1846, 1896, 1910, 1926, 1929, 1952, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1983, 2013, and 2019. It is a popular tourist destination where visitors can hike to the crater’s edge to see hot springs and boiling mud up close. The area features remnants of the ancient Sunda caldera, which collapsed after an eruption. Numerous shops sell souvenirs, and visitors can hike down and up for closer views of the smoky crater.
- Domas Crater - Located about 1 km downhill from Ratu Crater, Domas Crater is another attraction in the volcanic area. Here, you can dip your feet in hot springs or use sulfuric mud for a therapeutic foot massage. You can also boil and eat eggs in the hot springs. The bubbling hot springs provide a unique experience, and you can step on hot stones, though swimming is not allowed.
- Lembang - After the volcano tour, we stay in the city to explore other attractions. The streets are lined with pineapple shops and vendors selling various authentic fruits that you can try and buy.
- Lembang - Driving through Lembang, you’ll see numerous rice fields and tea plantations. We’ll stop for lunch and then continue with coffee or tea time.
- D’Castello - D’Castello is a relatively new tourist spot in the Ciater District, Subang Regency, but it has quickly become a favorite. This flora tourism destination features Instagram-worthy spots and is located at the foot of Mount Tangkuban Perahu.

Nice volcano tour - Great trip out of jakarta.
Will do it again next time. But coming from different areas, hard to get used to, so much traffic in Jakarta. Everytime we are always stuck in traffic so be prepared to take a couple hours to go to your destinations.
Did this twice already with this tour. Easy communication.
There is a separate guide who took us to the crater. The first time, we got a nice young man with great English. The second time we were assigned to someone with more challenging English to understand who also demanded a lot of tip afterwards.
But overall, what a beautiful place of nature to visit

Great day, beautiful views, great vibe - We had a wonderful time on this tour!
Our guide Fitri was super lovely, full of great information, and she accommodated for anything we asked her. Our driver Elun was safe and reliable, we felt very comfortable driving with him.
Ferdy and the team were also very helpful at the booking stage. All the tours that we could find included visits to the civet coffee farms which was not included in this tour. The company and guide triple confirmed with us that there would be no civets so that put our minds at ease as we dont like the practice :-)
The volcano and dolma crater were beautiful. We enjoyed a nice walk and soaking our feet in the warm crater bubbles. We also loved the fair that we visited, full of great views, beautiful flowers, and such a fun vibe!
Lunch was also included and we could not fault the spread we received- absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much Fitri, Elun, Ferdy and team. We has a great day!

Wonderful crater visit - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Ferdy and driver Antonio. Ferdy was beyond amazing. He is well verse in English and knowledgeable about the area. He also helped me a lot on our journey down to the hot springs. He was patient throughout the entire trip.
Both of them able to find alternatives routes to avoid traffics. And those alternatives routes allowed us to see stunning views of the rice fields and tea plantations.
I highly recommend going on this trip. Thank you again Ferdy and Antonio for a wonderful day trip.

The guide, Saleh was the best! He was friendly and very helpful during the tour. He shared everything about city and countryside. Apart from that, Saleh suggested to go restaurant after time up from trek side and manage the time to go back. Overall worthed.
