Outstanding Driver (Deddy) and an unforgettable experience. 10/10!
Deddy our driver was FANTASTIC!! His service and patience throughout the day was outstanding. He has a great personality and although the drive from my hotel was long, it passed quickly as we chatted about all sorts of things. The experience at the cave is awesome, all the guides are super knowledgeable and look after you. The provided lunch was delicious and the Gondola led us to some awesome views of the ocean. Jeep ride was super cool as well. I can’t speak more highly of this experience and would seriously recommend it to anyone reading this! Ryan, Aus 🇦🇺
Response from the operator: Dear Ryan, Thank you so much for your wonderful 10/10 review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an unforgettable experience at Jomblang Cave and Timang Beach. It means a lot that Deddy made your trip even more enjoyable with his friendly personality, patience, and excellent service. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. We're also delighted that you enjoyed the cave adventure, the delicious lunch, the jeep ride, and the spectacular ocean views from the gondola. Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Yogyakarta for another adventure! Warm regards, Trans Marindo Tour Team

Solo
Fajar drove and assisted me on the private tour. He was super helpful and made the day extra smooth. Notably, he was attentive about driving smoothly on bumpy roads and guided me on what I needed for each part of the tour. I had a very comfortable and enjoyable day. The Jomblang crew are great at taking photos. Noting they smoke at the bottom of the cave, just heads up for people who are sensitive. The Timang jeep ride and gondola ride were simple but I loved it too. Everyone there is helpful and in good spirits.
Response from the operator: Dear Faith, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us. We're very happy to hear that you had a comfortable and enjoyable day, and that Fajar helped make your trip smooth and memorable. Thank you as well for your feedback about the smoking at Jomblang Cave. We appreciate you pointing it out and will share your comments with the local team. We hope to welcome you back to Yogyakarta someday. Wishing you safe travels and all the best!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yogyakarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yogyakarta is not rushed.
Is A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yogyakarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yogyakarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yogyakarta and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Day Trip: The Magic of Jomblang Cave and the Thrill of Timang start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yogyakarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yogyakarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Yogyakarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Yogyakarta Private Car Hire with Driver, From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 2D1N, Borobudur Full Climb Up And Prambanan ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yogyakarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yogyakarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
