Yogyakarta tour is the perfect introduction to the cultural heart of Java. Over three days you’ll watch the sunrise over Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple, explore the majestic Hindu temples of Prambanan, and discover the living traditions of the Sultan’s city. From ancient stone to royal palaces and a smoking volcano, it’s Java’s soul in three unforgettable days.

You see Java’s greatest treasures, privately and at your own pace. Witness the sunrise illuminate Borobudur, a 9th-century UNESCO masterpiece. Marvel at the soaring Hindu spires of Prambanan. Explore the Sultan’s Palace, the Taman Sari water castle and the batik workshops of old Yogyakarta. Ride a jeep across the lava fields of Mount Merapi.
