The waterfall was so amazing and majestic ,it was breathtaking.This is not your ordinary waterfall as you need to walk a lot and climb too cause the path to the waterfall was quite steep and slippery.It took me about 6 hours to finish walking and climbing through 4 waterfalls so you need a lot of stamina.It was great and enjoyable as you can climb the waterfalls yourself which was very different from a few waterfalls I visited .I also wanted to thank the local guide cause he help me a lot when going through the slippery waterfalls.So,you must have a local guide to guide you.However ,I must say that this visit to the waterfall may not be suitable for young children and elderly cause it is quite dangerous.

This place may look like a nightmare of your badest dreams but is so amazingly beautiful, surprising and adventurous. People visit here for 2 reasons a) To reach summit and stay there to watch beautiful turquoise lake and if lucky some views of blue fire b) To reach summit and then go down the crater to have chance of lifetime to see blue fire and sulphur miners doing manual mining We gathered all our courage to go down the crater as well. Now this trekking starts late night as blue fire is not visible once sun comes out so we need to go down crater before sunlight comes out. Going up the summit of Ijen requires decent stamina but not very challenging. Challenging part starts when you to move down the crater in almost zero light and only torch or mobile light visible. Its one of the most adventurous hiking done by me. During going down, you will encounter sulphur miners who manually gather sulphur and hangit on there shoulder to the top (almost 70 kg in one round) and they do it 2-3 times in a day, it so damn amazing as we only in one round were totally out. Reaching bottom is like reaching surface of moon, completely different environment with deadly gases around (masks are suggested to be safe from carbon di oxide), unique surrounding with sulphur coming out of mountains and then you see the most amazing thing - BLUE FIRE, its so beautiful For hikers/nature lovers - its a must visit. Its ones in a lifetime experience Special thanks to our tour guide who ensured we experience everything and safely too.

I feel satisfied with all the services..high recommend "KrakatoaTour.com
5. Merapi Volcano

Reviewed By pondheron - Mumbai, India
We took the 90 minute mini Jeep Tour to Merapi - a little apprehensive about the rainclouds that obscured the sky through most of the day. The brightly coloured old red Jeep with a young man at the wheel bumped across the route - which was mostly paved , slowed by oncoming truck traffic carrying volcanic ash away for construction. We stopped at a village which had been damaged by the lava in the 2010 eruption - preserved complete with skeletons of cattle, burnt motorcycles and home appliances, a volcanic rock that was shaped like a face and appropriately called The Alien, and finally at the last lookout point 4.5 kms from the imposing volcano. The rain clouds cleared after a drizzle and the volcano was clearly visible - smoking ominously. An eerie and imposing sight on a dull drizzly day. The route is dusty so make sure you use the dust cover or take care especially if you are asthmatic or allergic. A very enjoyable drive with a fascinating view. Well worth the price of ₹1750 (Rp 350000) for 2.
6. Indonesia Safari Park Cisarua

Reviewed By hndklmn - Jakarta, Indonesia
2nd visit on my adulthood life :) the park is huge, a great place for children and adult to interact with the different kinds of animal. Be careful with the temptation to feed the animals with the carrot (sold on the roadside on the way to the park by the local resident) as the activity is actually prohibited by the park. However when you decide to sneak the snacks for the animals, prepare yourself to be surrounded by the heard of different animals. They are waiting for their snacks and are very persistent on getting it, :D. A lot of other activities, playgrounds, shows, and event a separate whole area for the Giant Panda couple. 1 day might not be enough to cover all of the attraction.
7. Madakaripura Waterfall

Reviewed By indonesianexplorer - Surabaya, Indonesia
Apart from the very famous Mount Bromo, there are other tourist attractions that must be visited while you are in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park area. A place that must be visited is the Madakaripura Waterfall. This waterfall is quite famous for both domestic and foreign tourist. Madakaripura is the highest waterfall on the island of Java and the second highest in Indonesia, with the height of about 1000 meters above sea level. Because of its highness, the atmosphere around there are fresh and cold. The unique part of Madakaripura is its circular shape and around the waterfall is decorated with its beautiful shape plants. Madakaripura waterfall is known as an eternal waterfall, because the water flow never decreases. If you go to Madakaripura waterfall you have to bring a raincoat because during the day it often rains suddenly.

Mr.Edu from Java Private Tour has fulfilled my desire to do this adventure, my desire has always been wanting to set foot in the land of Java which is famous for local wisdom and exotic natural beauty and the uniqueness of its volcanic mountains with tropical rain forests that are very beautiful to explore. Two days and one night I spent time exploring these mountains, Mas Crater, Baru Crater, Nangklak Crater, and Manuk Crater, and dead forest i went one by one with my friends from singapore. The beauty of nature is not enough to put it into words, I will definitely come back later.
