Yogyakarta Shared Tour: Jomblang & Pindul Cave with DRONE Option

Very enjoyable experience! Ryan was an excellent guide and driver, enjoyed the journey together. Some notes: You will get a little muddy in Jomblang Cave and wet in Pindul Cave, but the experience is worth it. You don’t need special equipment as boots will be provided for Jomblang, but sandals with straps are best for the Pindul tubing experience so your slippers won’t float away.

Awesome experience visiting the caves in Yogyakarta! The car was super comfortable. The tour was well organized and very safe (provided helmets, harnesses, boots for mud). We also got a small lunch afterward coming back from Jomblang that was quite delicious! The guides in the cave helped us take excellent photos, and the drone footage was also amazing quality! Highly recommend doing this tour with Rian!

Excellent value for the money. Three activities in one: Jomblang Cave, Pindul Cave, and Oya River. The first entails being lowered by ropes/harness down into a 60 meter deep sinkhole, walking 300 meters through a horizontal cave, to another cave where, if it is sunny outside and the time of day is right, beams of sunlight stream through an opening in the top of the cave. We were lucky, as conditions were near perfect when we arrived. Two considerations for those booking this tour: the bottom of the cave is full of thick mud, which is very slippery. Although guests wear rubber boots, some areas of the walking path are very treacherous. The mud sticks to footwear, to the point where it interferes with the ability to lift one’s boots from the mud, interfering with one’s balance. **Highly recommended to bring a flashlight or phone light to illuminate the walking path, which is otherwise difficult to see in places, making it even more hazardous.** 2) The second entails floating on an inner tube, starting in a pond, through a cave, and ending up outside again at a swimming hole. The cave contains interesting geological formations, as well as numerous colonies of small bats. The water temperature is very warm. At the swimming pool there is an elevated platform where you can jump off into the water if you wish. 3) The third entails riding a tube down a small river, first down a small area of rapids, followed by slow moving water. Very relaxing. Interesting rock formations along the sides of the river, caused by water erosion, some small waterfalls, and areas where the rock walls are covered in ferns and other interesting plant life. Our guide was Ryan, who was excellent. Although not part of the tour, after the caving/tubing portion, he took us to a place where Kopi Luwak is made: coffee from the civet cat, and the most expensive coffee in the world. We did a tour of the facility, to understand the production process, then given opportunity to sample the coffee. A very enjoyable optional part added to our tour. Thank you Ryan! Overall, an excellent full day excursion, which I cannot recommend enough!
