About this tour

Lunch, entrance fees, sarongs and hotel transfers included.

Highlights

  • Photograph the famous Lempuyang Temple gate framed by volcano backdrop
  • Hike terraced temple steps on Mount Lempuyang's steep slopes

What to expect

Expect a physically demanding day with significant uphill walking, particularly the 1,700+ temple steps on Lempuyang's slopes. Bring water and sturdy footwear. The temple draws crowds—arrive early to beat peak hour. The waterfall hike involves scrambling over rocks and wading through stream water, so wear swimmers and plan for mud. Jungle swing is thrilling but brief. Rice terrace walking is gentler, though uneven. You'll eat a local buffet lunch partway through. The tour moves briskly between sites with plenty of driving.

Good to know

Minimum fitness required; not suitable for pregnancy, back injuries or heart conditions. Children must be at least 10 years old for the jungle swing. Wear quick-dry clothes and bring a change. Sarongs provided for temple entry. Tour is private but temple areas get busy. Expect early start for optimal light and fewer crowds.
