Borobudur Sunrise On Temple and Prambanan ALL-IN Private Tour

Just do it! Borobodur for sunrise.

This was a great tour. I was travelling solo, and it was worth every $ for the VIP Sunrise tour. All the arrangements were made very smoothly, and my driver/ guide, Praja, was informative and excellent company. It’s always a little weird travelling off into the dark with a stranger, but Praja made me feel welcome. It is well worth going to Borobodur for sunrise - just being there in the quiet morning light is very special. Prambanan was also excellent - more people once you arrive, but well worth the effort of walking to the far temples to explore. A great day out ticking off some bucket list items. Thanks Praja!

Sunrise at Borobudur

Getting up at 3 am was worth it as it was unique to visit Borobudur at sunrise. Everything was well organised and we had a friendly guide. To add to it, our driver Yovi was very friendly, good-humoured and caring, and he was so fluent in English that we had many interesting conversations which made the long drive a real pleasure.

Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We’re so glad that the early morning sunrise experience at Borobudur was so special and that Yovi kept you great company along the way with his good humor and friendly chats. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to host you again on your next adventure! Best wishes, Journeast Indonesia

Amazing

Given haze and fog, we didn’t see the sun rise, but it was still worth getting up early to see Borobodur with so few people around. Stunning and other worldly. Prambatham was also incredible although much more crowded and hot. Our guide Jarat was more driver than tour guide, but he was courteous, helpful, and great at navigating the madhouse that is Yogyakarta traffic. If you want someone to guide you around Prambatham, it is not included in this package and you will need to pay for one at the temple.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are glad that the early wake-up call was worth it and that you found the misty, crowd-free morning at Borobudur Temple to be stunning and otherworldly. It is also great to hear that Jarat took excellent care of you and safely navigated the busy Yogyakarta traffic. Regarding Prambanan Temple, you are absolutely right—to preserve the local heritage, official guiding inside the temple zone is managed exclusively by the park's local guides, which can be easily arranged at the entrance. We appreciate your valuable feedback and hope to welcome you back to Yogyakarta in the future!

Great experience at Borobudur and Prambanan!

We very much enjoyed our trip to see Borobudur and Prambanan Temples. Our driver, Praja, was excellent and was a major reason the day went so well. He arrived early for our pickup, was friendly and professional throughout the day, and shared interesting insights about local culture and the sites we were visiting. Borobudur was definitely the highlight! Seeing the sun gradually peek over the horizon from the 9th level of the temple was quite an experience. The guide at the temple was very good, and the breakfast afterward had both Western and local options. Being on the temple before the heat of the day was also quite nice. Prambanan was a more low-key, self-guided experience. We were able to walk around and see the temples at our own pace. Highly recommended!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Praja made such a positive impact on your day—he will be incredibly proud to read your kind words about his professionalism and local insights. Witnessing the sunrise from the 9th level of Borobudur is truly magical, and we’re glad you enjoyed the breakfast and the comfortable pace of the day. Thank you for highly recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
