Highlights
- Tangkuban Perahu - We leave Jakarta by car for a 3-hour drive and, upon arrival, spend an hour at the volcano, which stands at 1830 meters above sea level. Tangkuban Perahu, meaning “Overturned Boat,” offers breathtaking views and a cool, breezy atmosphere. The name is derived from a local legend about its formation, involving Dayang Sumbi and her son, Sangkuriang. This stratovolcano is located 30 km north of Bandung, the capital of West Java. It has erupted multiple times, including in 1826, 1829, 1842, 1846, 1896, 1910, 1926, 1929, 1952, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1983, 2013, and 2019. It is a popular tourist destination where visitors can hike to the crater’s edge to see hot springs and boiling mud up close. The area features remnants of the ancient Sunda caldera, which collapsed after an eruption. Numerous shops sell souvenirs, and visitors can hike down and up for closer views of the smoky crater.
- Domas Crater - Located about 1 km downhill from Ratu Crater, Domas Crater is another attraction in the volcanic area. Here, you can dip your feet in hot springs or use sulfuric mud for a therapeutic foot massage. You can also boil and eat eggs in the hot springs. The bubbling hot springs provide a unique experience, and you can step on hot stones, though swimming is not allowed.
- Lembang - After the volcano tour, we stay in the city to explore other attractions. The streets are lined with pineapple shops and vendors selling various authentic fruits that you can try and buy.
- Lembang - Driving through Lembang, you’ll see numerous rice fields and tea plantations. We’ll stop for lunch and then continue with coffee or tea time.
- D’Castello - D’Castello is a relatively new tourist spot in the Ciater District, Subang Regency, but it has quickly become a favorite. This flora tourism destination features Instagram-worthy spots and is located at the foot of Mount Tangkuban Perahu.

Wonderful crater visit - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Ferdy and driver Antonio. Ferdy was beyond amazing. He is well verse in English and knowledgeable about the area. He also helped me a lot on our journey down to the hot springs. He was patient throughout the entire trip.
Both of them able to find alternatives routes to avoid traffics. And those alternatives routes allowed us to see stunning views of the rice fields and tea plantations.
I highly recommend going on this trip. Thank you again Ferdy and Antonio for a wonderful day trip.

Baduy day tour - The Castello is part of the Bandung tour it's a refreshing area, beautiful colours & well kept place. Here you can take beautiful photos. Tea fields are seen from here. We ate at the on site restaurant & all food was fresh & tasty. Our tour guide Ferdy was with us & showed us around this beautiful place. Ferdy is so patient, full of advice & made this experience a beautiful one
We continued our trip to the volcano where you can see the beautiful scenery
on arrival. We hiked down along the volcano crater to Domas.This was the only tour which we found with a combination of these places together. Local women here offer massage with water from the volcano which is amazing (Bargain a lot for the price beforehand & be specific what massage you want, I suggest you pay beforehand!) We highly recommend this tour.
