- Golden Sunrise Punthuk Setumbu - The driver and guide will pick up guests around 3:45 am from their centrally located hotel in Yogyakarta. The first destination is Punthuk Setumbu Hill to enjoy the sunrise.
- Pawon Luwak - Visit Pawon Temple, derived from the word Per-awu-an (meaning a place containing dust), which is a temple housing the ashes of a cremated king. The identity of the person buried here remains unknown. Locals refer to this temple as “Bajranalan,” named after the village.
- Candi Mendut (Temple) - Next, visit Mendut Temple, constructed by King Indra of the Syailendra Dynasty. This rectangular temple with multi-tiered roofs adorned with small stupas predates Pawon Temple and Borobudur Temple, which are aligned in a straight line. Unlike Borobudur Temple, which faces the rising sun, Mendut Temple’s entrance faces west.
- Merapi Volcano - Continue the tour with a jeep visit to Merapi Volcano, one of the world’s most active and hazardous volcanoes. It features an active lava dome that frequently produces pyroclastic flows and has been active for 10,000 years. This fiery mountain remains one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes globally.
- Prambanan Temples - Finally, visit the stunning Prambanan, the most beautiful Hindu temple. Built in the 10th century, it is the largest temple complex dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. At the center of the last of these concentric squares are three temples adorned with reliefs depicting the Ramayana epic, dedicated to the three great Hindu deities (Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma) and three temples dedicated to the animals that serve them.
After completing the sightseeing, the friendly driver will drop guests off at their centrally located hotel in Yogyakarta.

Tulus is king of guides - This is a magnificent 10+ trip. Tulus our guide is a rockstar. He knows everything and everybody. We were treated like a VIP by him and wherever we went. One of the very best guides we ever experienced. The temples, jeep tour and sunrise breakfast were unique. Travel with Tulus!!

Classy way to see Borobudur, Prambanan, and Merapi - The morning far exceeded expectations. On arriving to the spot we would watch sunrise over Borobudur, we were surprised to see that we had a nice breakfast prepared for us and a man playing music for us while we ate. Our guide Tulus did a great job showing us around the temples and by request even brought us to a Batik school on the way back to town where we could buy Batik art without getting ripped off. The Jeep tour company that they work with was also great. Our Jeep guide basically did a photo shoot of us in an old US Army Jeep (apparently from WWII) overlooking the volcano.

Excellent service - Excellent service clear meeting instructions. Vehicle and guide on time and waiting for us. Very professional guide Tulus, very informative on our travels and provided history of both towns we visited. We felt this tour was value for money and although the weather could have been kinder, It was a memorable experience.

Amazing trip with amazing guide, Tulus! - Had such an amazing trip to see the Buddhist and Hindu Temples as well as a super fun jeep trip to see the volcano. Luckily there wasn't a ton of people at the sights, there of course was a handful but not an overwhelming amount. Maybe it's because of how hot it was! Also the jeep trip is super fun and the guide, Deny, was amazing! We were a little disappointed that we didn't go to the actual volcano, but nonetheless it was still a great time. But we had the most amazing guide for the whole trip, Tulus! He is so helpful and kind and we made a lot of pit stops with him that made the whole trip that much more amazing and unforgettable. We got to see smaller temples, stop at a local outside market, a chocolate factory and even a coffee shop that had the mongooses that produce their coffee. We couldn't have a had better guide for our first trip to Indonesia!
