Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Jomblang Cave offers a captivating adventure with unique natural wonders. Its entrance is a massive vertical sinkhole, about 50 meters wide, hiding a lush "ancient forest" at its base, thriving under natural light – a truly surreal sight.

The highlight is the "Light of Heaven" phenomenon. In the main chamber of Grubug Cave, connected by a tunnel, ethereal sunbeams pierce through the ceiling, illuminating the dark space below. These "heavenly" rays create a magical, otherworldly atmosphere, dancing on ancient rock formations, stalactites, and stalagmites, offering incredible photo opportunities.

Beyond these spectacles, visitors can marvel at unique geological formations, like towering stalactites and stalagmites, formed over millennia. The entire journey, from the thrilling vertical descent to exploring the dark tunnels and witnessing the light, delivers an unforgettable sense of adventure and exploration, revealing a hidden world beneath the surface.

Goa Pindul and Kali Oyo in Yogyakarta offer unique water-based adventures. In Goa Pindul, visitors enjoy cave tubing, floating serenely on inner tubes through a 350-meter underground river. Guides point out stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations and an occasional sunlit opening, creating a mystical atmosphere.

Following Pindul, many continue to Kali Oyo for river tubing. Here, you'll float along a scenic outdoor river, passing lush cliffs and small waterfalls. Both activities are family-friendly, with guides providing all safety gear (life jackets, helmets, tubes) and ensuring a smooth, relaxed journey. There's no vertical descent; simply sit back and enjoy the natural beauty. Best visited during the dry season (May-Oct) for optimal conditions.
