What you can expect

  • Leave Yogyakarta behind and experience Mount Merapi after dark with an all-inclusive evening adventure. Choose between two different ways to experience the volcano: a relaxed lava-viewing experience at Arum Sari or a more adventurous hike to Turgo Hill, offering a closer perspective of Mount Merapi.

    At Arum Sari, settle into a comfortable viewing area and enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere while waiting for suitable conditions to see Merapi's volcanic glow. Enjoy coffee or tea and a local snack as you take in the night scenery. This option is ideal for travelers who want a relaxed volcano experience without a demanding hike.

    For a more active experience, choose Turgo Hill. Follow a local hiking guide and climb toward the viewpoint through the quiet volcanic landscape. Turgo offers a closer perspective of Mount Merapi than the Arum Sari viewing area, making the journey itself part of the experience. The hike requires more physical effort but rewards you with a more intimate feeling of being close to the volcano.

    Whichever experience you choose, your journey begins with convenient pickup from your accommodation in Yogyakarta. Travel comfortably toward the Merapi area with an English-speaking driver, spend the evening experiencing the mountain, and return to your accommodation after the tour.

    Volcanic activity and visibility are natural conditions, so the volcanic glow cannot be guaranteed. However, the cool mountain air, dark volcanic landscape, local refreshments, and anticipation of seeing Mount Merapi are all part of this unique evening experience.
