Great guide and real lava 🔥 - Our trip started with the pickup by our guide Fajar, his English is very good, almost as good as his music taste ☺️😉. The jeep lava tour and the burned farm was very moving. The ride and the views where fun. Then Fajar took us to the Merapi viewpoint, a very romantic place in a jungly area under the start to be impressed by this great volcano, waiting for a lava eruption to happen. Then it did and this was so special! What made the trip more special was our guide Fajar, I would recommend him for all your trips.

Amazing - Excellent service from Rama who made our trip memorable. Would recommend this tour to everyone as the views were amazing. Whilst waiting snacks and tea and coffee were offered which was a nice gesture. Rama was very attentive and friendly guy. Volcanic activity was fabulous.

Great flexibility and communication, good view despite bad weather - Our driver Fajar was great! He was super communicative and was able to arrange a special pickup from the SOC airport. We then went to see Merapi and then we were dropped off at the hotel in Yogyakarta after. We really appreciated the flexibility and good driving! The spot for the viewing was good, not too close and not too far. The weather was not very willing, but even then we were able to see it! You have to be patient, though, it’s not always a river of lava. The spot has a small restaurant were you can get some food and drinks while you observe the volcano in all its glory. Would 100% recommend!

Beautiful experience made easy - Our guide Fajar was extremely friendly and helpful and made the trip super easy. The tea and snacks also hit the spot perfectly. We got very lucky with the weather and could clearly see at least a dozen lava flows in less than 90 minutes.

Memorable experience that you will remember for a lifetime - Very pleasant guide who made our experience more memorable. Coffee and snacks were a lovely surprise. The suggestion to start the tour earlier was an excellent idea for the merapi activity shown on live steam was present. We were lucky to witness a beautiful spectacle, not once not twice but four times . It was amazing. Braving the nighttime cold was worth it.
