About this experience
We will make your holiday extraordinary and memorable. Jomblang and Timang are tourist attractions that you can only find in Yogyakarta. Jomblang cave is a vertical cave of the collapse doline type.This cave was formed due to the geological process of the collapse of the soil and the vegetation on it to the bottom of the earth that occurred thousands of years ago.That is what makes it unique because inside the cave there is an area of the mouth of the cave about 50 meters. Timang beach is a beach attraction at the boundary between the sea.Timang island becomes the main attraction for tourists. Because there is Gondola or kind of cable car that can be used to cross Timang island.This Gondola was used by the fishermen who wanted to look for seafood such as lobster to cross the ocean because it was imposile for them to reach that island on boat since the waves and the sea water stream are heavy. Finally, this gondola was created to facilitate them in finding lobsters.

A very enjoyable trip
Rio is a very engaging, responsible and well-travelled tour guide; he looked after me throughout my trip just like an older brother would.

Wonderful experience
It was a nice experience, recommend it! From going down to the cave, entering it, finding our way towards the lights and having a lunch to finish off the day. Timang beach was also a nice experience, although we did not cross over the bridge because it was raining. We still enjoyed a nice view while drinking a coconut.

Sights that are definitely worth the effort!
Our day began with an early pickup by our chill and nice driver, Wedha! After an 1,5 hour drive we arrived at the Jomblang cave where we descended into the cave under great guidance. Inside the cave it’s super muddy and I’d definitely recommend to bring a pair of extra socks. Because although you get boots from the organization, your socks inside will get dirty. I don’t recommend the journey into the cave for anyone who has trouble walking, climbing, or any other disability, as the 300 meter walk was slippery, wet and a little tough on the legs. But the effort is definitely worth it, great views on the light coming through the ceiling of this cavern, really a sight to behold. After returning from the cave, Wedha drove us to Timang beach, not all the way, because at a certain point we had to transfer into a jeep that brought us to the large rocky island where we went on a gondola that brought us across. The people there are experts in photoshops and are incredibly helpful, just ask for any help if needed. After a safe return from Timang beach with the jeep, it was our nice driver, Wedha who brought us all the way back to our accommodation, thank you! Overall it’s an activity worth doing. Just prepare enough cash, the entree tickets are not included.

Day 2 Jogja Trip
The driver told us a lot of interesting stories about Jogja’s history and culture. He was also very flexible with the itinerary and even took us to places that were outside of the plan. He also recommended a lot of local spots that can maximize the Jogja experience. Overall, 11/10!

Wow!
I joined 1 day tour to borobudur temple, prambanan temple and plaosan temple. KADEK, my driver/guide was excellent in his knowledge and hospitality. He kindly helped me to book/buy a web ticket of borobudur clime which starts sometime afternoon (morning tickets were all sold out). He was just so flexible to arrange visits to those temples according to the ticket. Borobudur is indeed a must-see and view from the top was also stanning. I had such a nice and memorable day. Arigato KADEK!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yogyakarta.
How much does Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach?
+
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 Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach?
+
Around 11 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yogyakarta a day tour Jomblang Cave & Timang Beach 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.
