    Remote Majapahit temples.

    Excellent driver Jerri and guide Lino?. A high climb into the mountains to view ancient Majapahit temples away from the crowds. Worth the day trip from Yogyakarta.

    Response from the operator: Happy to read your best review to our team, thank you so much!

    The best Genital Temple in the world

    You just have to visit this place! It's amazing. It is located in Indonesia, Java, near Solo city in the hills, so it is not too hot (as in the other places) and it is not crowded with tourists (which is rare for Indonesia). Practically for free and gorgeous architecture with big genitals on sculptures. What is amazing about it, that it looks totally different than other Indonesian temples. It looks like from Mexico. Recommended, you will not be sorry.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the review and sharing to everybody all around the world, about 'a piece' of beautiful Java island. Indonesia has different unique and amazing places to explore and see! see you again with other great experiences and activities.

    Great tour, really good seeing some...

    <p>Great tour, really good seeing some of the lesser known temples. This is a LONG day however with many hours travelling in the car. We felt it was worth it. But just be aware of that.</p>

    One of the BEST tours. The tour...

    <p>One of the BEST tours. The tour guide and driver is amazing. The 2 temples are yet fully 'discovered' by tourist and we really get to enjoy the temple and the views. Ride to the temple was amazing......do note both temples were on top of the mountains. We drove by tea plantations and it was very very scenic and fresh air. A MUST visit if you are intending to visit Yogyakarta.</p>

    Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $148 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 Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta 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 Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta?

    +

    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 Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta 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 Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sukuh and Cetho Temple Tour from Yogyakarta 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.
