    Reccommended with Antoni driver

    Excellent one day trip including temples and volcanos. We had very good driver Antoni, safe driving with very good English. He provide lot of informations, much beyond just beeing driver. Tip for trip: if you plan to go with jeep under Mnt Merapi, plan it for early morning as first point. This is best part of day for clear sky usually.

    Impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site

    This is a must to visit when in the area. Plan on spending about 1.5hrs at the Site with a park-appointed tour guide who gives lots of information about the history and significance of the Site. Rather then booking an expensive ride out and back to Yogyakarta with a so called private driver or bus with guide (which they typically aren’t since guides are park-provided for free), we bought our tickets online directly from the Temple’s website (cheaper) and booked a Grab to go out and back. The park appoints guides to groups of ~25-20 pers. per group. Plan on having to remove your footwear; they provide free upanat (temple sandals) and carrying it on a free bag also provided should you opt to climb the temple. There are many steps but it’s manageable and there are hand rails.

    Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.

    How much does Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 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 Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip?

    +

    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 Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip?

    +

    Around 6 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Borobudur Climb-up, Mount Merapi & Prambanan Day Trip 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.
