★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 362 reviews · 5 - 6 hours · from $23Our pick

Review of Yogyakarta’s Merapi lava tour, with Turgo Hill hikes, sunrise views, local snacks, transport details, weather advice, and honest value tips.

“Despite the rain, we were able to see the lava and take some amazing photos. It just took a little patience until the perfect moment came. Thanks to our guides, we stayed longer — on our own, I probably would have left much earlier and missed the best part. Our guide was fantastic and shared so many interesting stories and insights with us. Thank you so much for this wonderful evening!”

Watch Mount Merapi’s glowing lava from Turgo Hill near Yogyakarta, with mountain air, hot drinks, local guides, and a patient night outing.

“My guide Ardho was just the best. He's very passionate about the volcano and really wants to see the lava every time. It rained a lot and had a lot of fog and we could not even see the volcano. Other groups turned around and left because they said it's impossible to see the lava today. But Ardho said we stay and wait because the weather can and will change. He has a good expertise about the whole area and about 2 hours later with some tea and snacks the weather cleared and we saw the lava. Best guide, can just recommend to go with him.”

“I HIGHLY ADVISE NOT TO BOOK THIS TOUR. Then the time came for a “river” drive(not sure why is it called river but basically it is circular drive with puddles of very dirty water in the way). The driver asked do we want to get wet and we told the jeep driver that WE DO NOT WANT TO GET WET, first he listen and couple of rounds were fine, then he decided to forget it and started driving very fast in the water. End result: everything was wet without exception of our clothes and backpack. Then we brought it to drivers attention, he pretended that everything was okay. Apparently it…”
