Fun things to do in Gunung Kidul: 50 fun attractions and activities

Alright, but not a must-visit. The views are pretty, and it is rather quiet and uncrowded - which is a nice combination. The walk from the carpark is maybe about 10 to 15 minutes (slightly tiring, but not difficult), and that is followed by a ride on a makeshift raft for another 10 minutes before we get to the waterfall. Along the walk there are some small stalls which look like they are run by some of the families that live nearby, and who sell some simple and unexpensive snacks and drinks. Might be a good idea to purchase a couple of small items from them to support their efforts to earn an honest living. Have to pay for entrance and the raft ride, the combination of which makes things slightly pricey, but not ridiculously so. Heard from our guide though, that this is supposed to be a public place and the collection of entrance fees is done by a group of unregulated local thugs who do nothing for the upkeep of the place - was not able to independently verify if this is accurate.

"Not recommended as a destination until they address their management issues. Several incidents during my visit left me frustrated. Firstly, the cost: there are options to reach the waterfall either by walking or by boat. Opting for the boat requires a payment of Rp. 10,000 per person for a round trip. The problem arose when, after paying for six people, the boat left us stranded during our return trip. Despite waiting for an hour, it did not return, prompting us to walk back to the entrance. Another issue concerns the area near the waterfall. Besides the main waterfall, there is a small path leading to the river. Intrigued by the sight of a foreigner and a tour guide walking the path, my friends and I decided to follow. Excitement turned to disappointment when the tour guide yelled at us, insisting it was a forbidden area unsuitable for tourism. When questioned about a foreigner being allowed, he simply stated the foreigner was with him. Only later did we notice a sign on a tree indicating the boundaries of a play area, which we hadn't seen initially as the tour guide casually walked there. Subsequently, they even crossed the river and played in the area. Lastly, in addition to the unpleasant events, I advise against visiting during the rainy season. The river becomes dirty and murky, making swimming unappealing."

Lovely place to have a swim and it's a bit off the beaten track so pretty quiet when I went midweek. 25k for entry, 20k to swim in the river (you need to have a lifejacket) Not sure about the boat, as I walked and it only takes about ten minutes. It's mostly downhill, so a bit trickier going back up!

The waterfall is so beautiful, and the surrounding area is also very calming. Although I think the waterfall area is not large enough to accommodate many people, so be aware when you visit it during the weekend. Entry ticket is affordable, and the parking area for both car and motorcycle are available. The road not so good at some point, so please be careful.

One of the easiest accesible waterfall in jogja region. From the parking lot to the waterfall only took about 10 minutes walk + boat ride of 10 thousand (June 2019), you can challenge yourself to walk towards the waterfall, but I chose the easy way. It was in the dry season when I went here, but the water flowed quite a lot (I wasn't expecting this). You can opt to swim on the river near the waterfall but it is very cold (it was around 11am). This site provided a good exposure for you who wanted to see and feel the sensation of being in a waterfall. There are no toilets near to the waterfall, but quite a lot near the parking area or near the food vendors. Squat toilet and clean water are available.

great recreational place, we can enjoy beautiful waterfall here. although we have to walk for about 2 km from the parking area to the waterfall. if you are too tired to walk, you can also use the flying fox or small ship they provided there. there are some store sell gorengan and clothes as well.

Place you should visit when travelling to yogya, sri gethuk waterfall locate at gunung kidul, you will find nice view trip on a long road to destination. Unforgettable and origin natural view. Lets come to sri gethuk

The path at Jomblang is a bit burdensome. You have to get abseiled 40m. You might have to wait a while until you are on. In the cave you walk 200m through the mud (no worries you get rubber boots) , but the view is absolutely worth it.

As beautiful as the pictures suggest! The tour is actually quite organized and on a 1st come 1st serve basis. 1 group consists of approx 10 people to abseil down 60m to the cave and take pictures. The ground is very muddy and rocky; may not be suitable for very young children.

Tickets need to be reserved in advance - can be done through Whatsapp. The experience was great and the tourguides were superb at taking pics at the main attraction. We got a lunch after and its possible to buy professional photos from a booth.

The group is so service oriented. It was a very muddy trek and we changed our shoes to boots just like everyone else. You go down a cliff but don't actually repel down. Then you trek through a cave where your boots are often stuck in the mud. Suggest bringing a head lamp and it's in the middle of central java and there's really no cool down in the cave. The staff carried our four year old when he kept getting stuck in the mud. Definitely don't bring clothes you want to keep clean! Afterwards we were served a basic lunch with aqua, ayam goreng and rice. Fun experience

Oh my God😍 it was a wonderful trip. I highly recommend this cave. So beautiful masterpiece of God. And the way through the cave to reach that hole was incredible.

Bring sandals. Headlamp is a good idea to keep your hands free. Cave is muddy and slippery. The Jomblang Cave Crew is great and helpful. I had an excellent time and was pleasantly surprised!

It's unreal, unworldly, amazing, beautiful, there are not enough adjectives to describe how fantastic this place is. It's a long and a half hour drive to the caves and the last couple are on bumpy dirt tracks, you then change you shoes for wellington (plastic) boots and walk down to the cave entrance,where you are harnessed up and sent 2 at a time down a 60 metre drop into the cave. Then it's's a tricky walk in the dark to what must be the most amazing sight I have ever seen in my life. It's a memory you will keep forever

Pok Tunggal Beach has a beautiful and clean environment, the sea water is still clear, thick white sand is free of rubbish. This beach overlooks the Indonesian ocean with fairly high waves and is surrounded by beautiful coral hills. The beach location can be reached in about 2 hours from the city of Jogjakarta through hilly and coral views.

It was a challenge to get in this place, quite remote spot and you'll lose signal automatically. But totally worth it, beautiful scenery and white sands. Just be careful with the waves, kinda wild. It really looks like Melasti beach in Bali.

Beautiful sunset! The path is pretty hard because of the rocks but still nice. It's not the type of beach you will chill all day long, though. Anyway, when we came there, the Duras tree was no longer there, meanwhile this beach was famous because of it.

Bit speechless about this place, because this beach have awesome landscape view. I came at 5am and still dark.. Hoping I can shoot best light in the morning.. 😁, but nature has different way hahaha so cloudy there. I came to one of traditional coffee shop, after order I saw a man directly approach to our coffee shop from the beach bring an octopus and some fish. The owner of coffee shop says.. Hai.. What would you like to order from those fresh fish.. Hahaha to early for me for heavy breakfast .. I asking her there is other sight from the beach? She said : you have to move up to that hill.. Wewwwwww 🤦‍♂ hahaha closed enough but going up is.... 🤣🤣 Then we going up and taking lots of picture.. Till the cloud more dark. So this place is so quite place, not to crowded, average clean.. So fun in this beach. So if you stay in Jogjakarta.. Please stop by to pok tunggal beach..

Access to this beach is hard, not possible for bus/trucks. Therefore, this beach is still not to crowded. And still consider as hidden gem. Sands are white but not too clean.

Great camping place! There are many stalls around the beach, so if you run out of supplies, you can buy there. There are also toilets there. Entrance ticket 10k per person and retribution fee 10k per tent. You can also pay a photografer 3k / photos for capturing your moment! The distance between the parking area to the beach is very close, so you don't need to be afraid of being tired 😁. Go on weekdays if you want to find some quietness!

Was nice here. Narrow and clean beach. You also can see the seaweed in the side of beach, you also can pick up some of them. Having a roast barbeque with friends, a group of HKTDC Hongkong 2017 at side of beach and drink real coconut. How nice and forget hectic for a day. How a lovely day. Visit here and enjoy the green😘😘😘

We’re a group of young and growing adults, aged 11 to 44, and had an incredible time thanks to the friendly and attentive guides. You can bring your phone in a waterproof bag (sold on-site), but we hired a photographer to capture the moments—so we could fully enjoy the experience without distractions. Having done cave river explorations before, this one stood out. We got to swim, jump, and fully immerse ourselves in the water. Some areas are shallow and rocky, while others are deep, so it’s important to stay alert. The local guides—who know the terrain well—were always nearby, keeping us safe. We also did the Oyo River tubing, which was another highlight. While waiting for the transfer back to base, we enjoyed some Indomie and drinks. Bring spare clothes and towels to wash up—basic items are also available for purchase if needed. The whole adventure felt like a real-life Universal Studio's Jurassic Park—wild, natural, and so much fun.

I enjoyed this trip a lot. The guid made a great job keeping us entertained on the way. We also enjoyed some cliff diving.

Awesome area 🤩 for river tubing, you will pass through a cave full of stalactites and witness the wonderful rock formations. You will also have the opportunity to jump into the water at some point too. Fun filled activity on a sunny ☀️ day.

Good one. Floating in a river flowing through a limestone cave across a hill.

If you are looking for a day full of fun activities with your family and enjoy nature, this is the right place to go. You can experience a one hour off-road tour with jeep in the surrounding, visit the Goa and at last do a river tour with big buoys. The whole program last about 4 hours and not much empty time, except from time to time having some rest with drinks and snacks. Also a high thumb to the staff there who are really helping and professional.

majestic piece of nature. great tour-guide explains many things we haven't tought would want to know about. got the chance to visit in not very peak season of tourism, so the visit were great, no crowd, and very safe adventure into the cave. great place, great experience, would very much recomend this place.

Ventured into the local attractions and it was a delight! The tour guide's friendly nature and engaging storytelling made the cave and local history feel like fascinating adventures. Such a wonderful experience!! Do make sure bring extra cloths, slippers and waterproof phone cover. For safety and convenience measures.

Great. We met a local lady and her friend there. They took us to a nice small lagoon, that was good for swimming and sight seeing.

A beautiful place. The beach is clean and watery clear. On this beach there is a hidden pool surrounded by a cluster of corals with a depth of 1.5 meters. This beach is also known as a favorite snorkeling spot for tourists. For those who have a hobby of fishing, in this beach area there is a reef hill that became a favorite place of the anglers to try their fishing ability.

Beautiful spot for camping. Perfect place for hunting sunset and playing water volley. You should really try sleeping under the majestic sky at night. Since there is no mosquitos here, you can enjoy sleeping outside your tent, accompanied by the sound of the waves and night creatures. Unforgettable memories.

One of great beach in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. The road here is rather in good condition, yet pretty far from Jogja City, for like 2hrs by vehicle. Parking lot is spacious, and the beach is located below hill, so there's stairs toward the beach. So many street vendors, so you no need worry if you're hungry. The beach is still pristine. White sands, and the water color is beautiful. There's also a laguna, here, but you still need walk along the beach a bit far. You can swim here but be careful since the sea actually part of Indian Ocean and the wave and wind sometime so harsh.

the beach is lower than the parking lot so we have to go down the stairs. Not too far but rather steep. if you are tired, motorcycle taxis are available for 5,000 rupiah. Visitors are not allowed to swim because there are more rocks and big waves. always use sunblock because the sun is very strong.

This is an absolutely stunning beach. The sunset is right on the water. There's swimming and surfing, and the food there is very cheap. I stayed in a cottage only 50 meters from the beach, and at night I had the beach all to myself. The local people there are so friendly. What an amazing experience. I will be back soon.

Such a beautiful place in Yogyakarta You can see a beutiful sea from here. This is a good place for relaxing and enjoy a beautiful view. But there is a lot of trash in the beach when I'm come here :)

good view but the sea wave to close to the beach lip, so pretty dangerous for swimming or playing with sea water pretty clean also for public beach there is also many many seafood stands around and cheap price eat seafood all your day the people around pretty patient also to local tourist

i went there on the weekday and only a few people in there. This is one of my favourite beach because of the beautiful scenery especially if you go up the hill, you can see a wider view, see the waves and rocks, very beautiful. local food prices are quite affordable but less varied. there are plenty of huts to sit and not pay only if we buy the owner's food. Unfortunately the toilet is not good and if weekdays, only a few are open.

Was met by super arrogant male Indonesians wanting to charge 30k for entry - so I didn't go. I've been before. Food is like anywhere else, and can't swim in the beach as its too dangerous. Plus want to charge parking on entry. BETTER BEACHES IN BALI FOR FREE Forget this place I think, go to Medewi beach, Bali for more beautiful, can swim - no charge for entry

Nice and calm place, good view, white sands, cheap, but not much around. If you just want to chill then this beach maybe perfect for you. Pretty neat compared to other beach near the area. Or if you just want to take a quick look before going to your main destination.

Beautiful view, so many food and drink seller. You can snorkle here when the water condition is good. The environment is clean but the way to parking area is narrow.

You can bring your kids here. No need to worry about the fasility like toilet, mosque, restaurant and souvenir store. They have big parking area and beautiful hill to hike to see the shoreline from top. Krakal had long shoreline and there is a monument on the top of a hill in the west and in the east you can also enjoy another beach.

I love these beach at first sigh. Clean enough and the waves so strong. Krakal Beach is one of old beach in Yogyakarta then i'm so happy for visit it! :D

Prambanan Temple is absolutely stunning and a must-visit when in Yogyakarta! The temple complex is vast and beautifully preserved, with incredible stone carvings and towering structures that tell ancient stories from Hindu mythology. Walking around the site feels like stepping back in time. The architecture is breathtaking, especially when you catch it at sunrise or sunset — the lighting makes the temple even more majestic. The area is well-maintained, and there are helpful signs explaining the history. It can get quite hot during the day, so I recommend visiting early in the morning or late afternoon. Definitely worth the visit — both for history lovers and anyone who appreciates incredible cultural landmarks!

Prambanan Temple is a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most beautiful temples in Indonesia. The architecture is stunning, the gardens are well maintained, and the atmosphere is peaceful. Walking around the temple complex gives a deep sense of history and culture. A must-visit destination in Yogyakarta for anyone who loves history, culture, and photography

If you ever visited Angkor Wat, you may skipped it. Don’t know who and how made that comparison, but comparing Prambanan to Angkor Wat is like comparing Yogjakarta to Singapore. Definitely overpriced, as all tourists attractions in Indonesia (that’s the „advantage”of being foreigner - you’re forced to paid 8-10 times more than locals). Crowded. If you finally get there, please make sure to visit other temples: Lumbung, Bubrah and Sewu (imho most impressive than Prambanan). Looks like plenty of reconstruction works around, so maybe in 10 years there will be more impressive buildings. As it’s kind of Javanese temple’s tradition, exit is through neverending maze of shops with some really stubborn sellers. Luckily we’re there for sunset time, and while leaving complex we matches time of closure of this market.

Visiting Prambanan Temple is like stepping back in time to witness the grandeur of Indonesia’s rich Hindu and Buddhist heritage. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not only an architectural marvel but also one of the most accessible and tourist-friendly attractions in Central Java. Accessibility & Tour Guides: The temple complex is conveniently located about 17 km from Yogyakarta city center, and it’s easily reachable by car, motorbike, or public transport. If you're coming from the airport, it's just a short ride. Upon arrival, you’ll find the entrance very organized with ticket counters for domestic and international visitors. What really enhances the experience is the availability of licensed tour guides. They are friendly, multilingual (English, Bahasa Indonesia, and sometimes other languages), and extremely knowledgeable. Guided tours are highly recommended to understand the deep symbolism, mythology, and history behind the temple reliefs and structures. Parking Lots & Entry Process: The parking area is spacious and well-managed, accommodating both private cars and tour buses. There’s a separate area for motorbikes, and everything is within walking distance to the entrance gate. The entry process is smooth, and staff are helpful, maintaining a good flow even during busy hours. Facilities: The facilities are excellent for a historical site of this scale. There are clean restrooms, shaded seating areas, and refreshment stalls near the entrance and inside the complex. You’ll also find a souvenir market selling everything from traditional batik to wooden crafts and mini Prambanan replicas — perfect for gifts. There's even a small museum near the complex that provides more background about the site's excavation and restoration efforts. The Temple Grounds: The temple complex itself is vast and immaculately maintained. The main temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma stand proudly in the center, surrounded by smaller shrines and ruins that speak volumes about ancient Javanese Hindu civilization. Visitors are allowed to walk into several of the temples, and the carvings are remarkably well-preserved. Be sure to wear comfortable footwear and bring a hat or umbrella as it can get quite hot during midday. Bonus Tip: Come early in the morning or around sunset to avoid the crowds and get the best lighting for photos. For a truly magical experience, consider watching the Ramayana Ballet at the nearby open-air theatre in the evening — with the temples as a backdrop, it's an unforgettable performance. Conclusion: Prambanan Temple is not just a tourist site — it’s a spiritual, educational, and visual journey that impresses every visitor. Whether you’re a history buff, a photographer, or just someone looking to appreciate world heritage, Prambanan delivers on all fronts. A must-visit when in Yogyakarta!

Prambanan Temple is a breathtaking historical and holy place for Hinduism. It is the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia and one of the most beautiful in the world. The site consists of temples dedicated to the Hindu trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—each showcasing incredible stone carvings and detailed reliefs that tell stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. you can really feel the spiritual atmosphere and admire the architectural mastery of the 9th century. It’s not only a place of worship but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia. And if you get the chance, the Ramayana Ballet performance held nearby adds a cultural experience you won’t forget. Truly a must-visit destination for history lovers and culture enthusiasts!

I visited Prambanan during a day-trip with a private driver. He had already bought my entry ticket in advance. Unlike Borobudur, you can explore Prambanan by yourself. However, I recommend paying the 150k/hour to get a guide. My guide was so much fun and was very knowledgeable about the history of the site as well as all of the religious aspects. The only thing that bothered me during my visit was the lack of shaded areas from the heat, and the small black pebbles that krept under my feet constantly.

Prambanan Temple is an absolute masterpiece—easily one of the most awe-inspiring historical sites in Indonesia. The four temples included in the ticket are breathtaking, each showcasing intricate architecture and deep cultural significance. We took our time exploring, stopping often to admire the grandeur and reflect on the centuries of history carved into the stones. The experience itself is fantastic, whether you rush through in an hour or take three to truly absorb it all (which is definitely the way to go). Every structure feels powerful, demanding appreciation and respect. We also had lunch inside, and the food was surprisingly good, making the visit even more enjoyable. That said, the ticket price for international visitors—at 500k rupiah—is definitely steep, especially considering it's ten times higher than the local price. It knocks the rating down slightly, but overall, Prambanan is still a must-visit, deserving a solid 9/10. If you can look past the pricing, the experience itself is worth every moment.

Really nice temple or rather temple ruins, definitely worth visiting. Unfortunately open only till 17:00, above from the temple would be really nice to watch the sunset... Though there were still many people around, not sure if 17:00 is really a (hard) closing time...

People used to call this place "Candi" or temple, but actually this is a palace as described in the ancient inscription. This palace cover a quite huge walk area to explore, and it's an open space. This ancient palace is a recommended place for those who loves photography and history. Since it's located in the higher ground, you will be able to see Prambanan temple from this palace

Located in the eastern part of Yogyakarta, Ratu Boko is a great family-friendly destination to enjoy the sunset. The area is spacious, hilly, and surrounded by lush greenery, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I recommend visiting around 3–4 PM when the weather is pleasant and not too hot. I visited with international friends, about the ticket price is quite affordable for locals, though a bit expensive for international visitors. It’s best to get the bundled ticket that includes access to Borobudur or Prambanan temples for better value. Overall, if you’re visiting Yogyakarta and looking for a peaceful temple with fewer crowds, Ratu Boko is definitely worth considering.

Place with full history and memories. Beautiful and remarkable views. We use the tour guide service from Mr Naswanto, he is very good to explain everything in this area. It made our journey meaningful. We visit here as a package with prambanan temple. It has toilet, musholla, park benches and many food seller also. So don't worry if you get tired.

Ratu Boko Palace is such a cool place to visit, especially in the late afternoon. It’s up on a hill, so you get this amazing view of Yogyakarta and even Prambanan Temple in the distance. But the real star? The sunset—absolutely stunning! One of the best I’ve ever seen. The vibes here are super chill. It's quiet, peaceful, and has that ancient, mystical feel. Great spot for taking epic photos too! Entrance fee is a bit on the higher side, but honestly, totally worth it for the views and the experience. Pro tip: Get there around 4 PM, bring a bottle of water, and don’t forget your camera or phone—you’ll want to capture that sunset magic!

Throwback to 2023, still amazed by the beauty in the simplicity of Candi Ratu Boko. This temple isn’t so grand, but it has such a mesmerizing aura. It's located on higher ground, so the atmosphere feels cool and refreshing. The walking paths toward the temple are well-arranged, with green lawns that make the scenery even more soothing. I was lucky to visit during sunset hour, so the view was truly breathtaking. Calm, serene, and memorable. I'd love to come again if I could. It’s absolutely worth a visit for its charm and magical sunset vibes.

Bought the ticket via traveloka, just teeny tiny bit cheaper than ots ticket. Got a good walk around the area. Got there around 4.15 pm. Walked around for almost an hour and rest by the main Gapura to look at the sun setting, was cloudy though. We just sat there by the grass. But some people brought picnic mat/blanket. There's musholla near the main Gapura, and also i think there's another one by the locket? Not sure about the 2nd one, but there's a sign near it. Oh. By the locket there's brochure about the site.

I’m from Malaysia, and this is my first time visiting Yogyakarta. My trip to Pantai Timang was an adventurous experience, as you have to go there by jeep. The beach has beautiful scenery, and the breeze is very calming. Crossing the bridge and riding the gondola was a bit scary, but it was a great experience. I recommend bringing a raincoat because the waves can be really big.

Fun ride in a Suzuki Jimny along a rocky hilly track to get there. You have to pay to go across a rope bridge to the small island. But it’s worth it, your guide is an excellent photographer with your smart phone and will get you some great photos

Went there after my trip to Jomblang Cave. The scenery was amazing. You need to be careful with splashes though even though you are high above sea level, so do prepare spare clothes and protect your photography equipments just in case you are not fortunate. The jeep ride down the beach was exciting and fun as well.

It took us about 2 hours from our hotel in Kaliurang, plus another 15 minutes by Jeep through bumpy terrain—a fun little adventure on its own. The view from the cliff is absolutely stunning. The waves were strong, and the sea spray could get intense, so don’t expect to stay dry—bring spare clothes or footwear. The gondola is hand-powered, but the team running it takes safety seriously and guides everyone carefully. Even our 70-year-old parent, who didn’t plan to cross, ended up giving it a go. Some of us are scared of heights, but we all enjoyed the ride—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. One gondola can fit up to 3 people (2 adults and 1 kid), but it can feel a bit tight—especially for the person sitting at the back. Once across, you can explore freely, but stay cautious—you’re standing on a cliff above rough waters. The 360 views are incredible. Easily one of the most unforgettable parts of our Jogja trip.

Astounding view! A must visit if you love the beach. The gondola price quite affordable i think. Totally worth the penny spent! The ride to the beach was adventurous. The ride itself was fun. The workers of the gondola are super fun and they took marvelous pictures of you.

❎ Australia ✅ Indonesia On our way to the beach, locals stopped and informed us that we need to use a jeep in order to access the beach. We were skeptical if we really need to visit the beach but turns out it was so worth it! The jeep ride was rough but once we were at the beach, the view was really nice. Watching the waves was also really calming. We hired a jeep that costs 350k for 5 people. Crossing the bridge costs 100k per person for locals, but you should definitely go for it. Both the jeep rental and bridge ticket includes a guide who can help with taking pictures. No additional fee for the guide but we gave them a tip at the end :)

Beautiful coastline with rock cliffs and big waves. Especially if we are looking back from the rocky island just offshore.

Lots of beautiful eye candy views to enjoy. As well Instagrammable spots. Avoid the middle of the day and highly recommend to be there at 4-5 PM. As sunset seems to be the best to capture the beauty

You can always read the story of tebing breksi at Google or other literature, but you must see this place physically! It's amazing and worth visit. This place offers instagrammable spot for enthusiast. This place is not so crowded during weekdays.

tebing breksi now is awesome! with only 15K per person you can enjoy a great cliff with magnificent scenery of jogja from the height, with better facilities you can enjoy this tourist attraction completely

...this cliff is a tourist attraction in Sleman Regency. It is located south of Prambanan Temple and adjacent to Ijo Temple and the Boko Palace Complex. The Breksi Cliff tourist attraction is located in Sambirejo Village, Prambanan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. Breksi Cliff Tourism Park is a natural tourist attraction in Yogyakarta. As its name suggests, this tourist attraction is a hill of Breksi rocks. The beautiful patterns of the Breksi rock cliffs are a major draw for tourists...

“Tebing Breksi is a stunning tourist spot in Jogja with unique rock formations, beautiful carvings, and amazing panoramic views of the city and Mount Merapi. The place is well maintained, clean, and perfect for photos, especially during sunset. A must-visit destination for nature lovers and travelers in Yogyakarta

As one of the people who learned about rocks in college, I really like visiting this location. The big rocks were shown up in the surface with beautiful color gradation and shapes. The local government successfully created this outcrop to be one of the tourism destination closed to Yogyakarta. It took me around 50 minutes driving here using a motorcycle. In the big rock, they also modified it so we could go to the top of the outcrop. They created a stair that let us go to the top of the outcrop. Not only the stairs, but we would find the top part is filled with many places to take pictures as well as the supported equipment, such as the love signs as background, tea pot as accessories and many others. You could go here with friends or family. Recommended place to visit.

Amazing how you can walk around the stone cliff. You can take the tour also using jeep, and its fun. Respect to the village that taking care of this tourism object

Baron beach is one of the many small beaches in the area where you can get away from the noise and pollution of the big city. They are all a short drive from Yogjakarta so hire a scooter or motor and get on the way

Definitely worth the journey

Here you can find a variety of seafood dishes and the unique craft of shellfish and marine animals. The cool air makes travelers feel at home to stay here.

A wonderful beach for family, with its brownish sand. It's a calm bay with a high cape with a lighthouse tower on its East flank, and an underground river on its West flank is recommended as a safe playground for children. There are fishermen and their colourful boats on the beach, and when lucky visitors can also buy freshly caught fishes from them at low prices. Food stalls and shops selling seafoods and souvenirs. Many toilets available for little money. No recommended lodging.

The beach is surrounded by mountains and greenery, but the beach it self is narrow and sometime strong waves. Parking lot is quite spacy. We need to pay for the parking fee per vehicle.

Sunday was really crowded. Not as big as parang tritis. But it's more shady n more friendly for little kids. To go to the beach, u need to rent a boat. Becareful when choosing seafood there, not all are fresh.

Nice beach though you have to pay rp 10.000 to cross small river to reach the beach

This museum is an excellent place to explore and learn about the rich and diverse culture of Java. It offers a comprehensive look into various aspects of Javanese heritage — from the intricate art of batik, showcasing different patterns and techniques, to an impressive collection of wayang (traditional puppets) that reflect the region’s storytelling traditions. You can also learn about local customs, rituals, and traditional clothing. The displays are well-organized and informative, making it a great spot for both tourists and locals who want to deepen their understanding of Javanese culture. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Loved this museum - it had a great selection of cultural items, plenty of explanations in English and lots of fun interactive ways of displaying the pieces. There’s even games and VR on the fifth floor! The AC was appreciated, and it was definitely worth the 20,000k fee (for foreigners). I spent about 90 minutes here Staff were super friendly and helpful too.

It was a very fun experience!! You can get a tour guide for free if you show them your ticket and there's someone available to do it🙏🏼 The live video (the one about Damarwulan and Sumbu Filosofi) didn't have an English subtitles so it's a bit to bad for the international tourist who can't understand it. But otherwise everything is translated very well❤️ the interactive part is also very fun (there's an arrow shooting VR and gamelan game).

A great experience! This museum is interactive. Staffs were great, friendly and very helpful! It’s actually my favorite experience on my first day at Jogja. I should have come come for the wayang as it was only played during weekdays

Informative, fun, worth of your time and money to learn what past has left us. Its really fun experience to learn by looking at the piece of the history that still perserve and still be aple to show how our people once lived. It is really amazing how I spent almost 4 hours here, to read and to learn. Come here when you got time!

A museum that presents Yogyakarta's culture in a minimalist yet informative way. The building is modern, and there are many interactive exhibits inside. It could be one of the places worth visiting when in Jogja.

Neat museum, lots of different type of exhibits and a fascinating look into Indonesian culture and heritage. Highly recommend.

Quiet n probably entrance free temple, if you come around 3 to 4pm. I wasn't asked to pay as I could just walk in to witness this amazing candi. One side was under construction though. It's relatively similar temple to the temples in the area so if you have limitedtime, its 50/50 choice of visiting or skipping.

At the moment it’s being restored thus it is covered in scaffold… One should wait until the scaffold is taken down as you cannot see much of the temple… But at least it’s an attempt to restore to its former glory… I’m sure that once this work is completed, this will be a five star location… If you’re still interested, you can pass by but access is limited…

A beautiful temple, it's smaller than other big complex temple like borobudur or prambanan, but still a cool place to visit but unfortunately at february 2018 we cant enter the temple because of previous earthquake so they will renovate it in 2018. It's quite close from yogya and close to prambanan temple. The temple is side to side with local houses, the people at the ticket box is friendly and he will answer your questions about this temple but there's also a board that contain explanation about the temple. It's located near the high way but it's a quite quiet place and we can get a good picture here, the ticket box open till 5 p.m. in the afternoon people start to visit the temple maybe at 3 p.m. people start coming because the sun isnt so hot anymore, but the entrance from the road is quite small and the parking lot is also small, the accesss to enter the area of the temple is quite hard for a big bus or big vehicle.

Great little temple 20 000 to enter It's only small but worth a look

Small but beautiful temple well worth to stop and check out. Lovely sunset views

This temple has a very nice details engraved in some parts of its walls.. They're really majestic.. Somehow, most parts of this temple is broken n not complete coz of the missing stones.. The place in easy to find, and nowdays there is enough parking lot for even a bus, but you must be becareful because the way to the parking lot si just too steep

The temple is located right beside the main road, but its empty, very different compared to the nearby Prambanan. Entering the temple is free and the temple itself is quite interesting to visit compared to some other in the area.

The Indonesian Air Force Museum in Yogyakarta is a must-visit for history and aviation enthusiasts. It has an impressive collection of aircraft, from vintage warplanes to more modern ones. Each display includes informative descriptions that help you understand the evolution of the Indonesian Air Force over the years. The area issspacious and suitable for a family trip (playground available) perfect for a casual stroll while learning something new. It’s also a great educational spot for families, with affordable entrance fees and a peaceful atmosphere. You can also buy interesting merchandise here

Being an aviation enthusiast, visiting the Indonesian Air Force Museum made my day. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the planes that have been kept from the 40s until now, learning a lot about Indonesia's history in the process. Some officers at the entrance were kind enough to answer questions I had about some of the planes. In terms of size and the number of artefacts, the museum exceeded my expectations. There seems to be a renovation in process where two new spaces will be incorporated, but there was no indication yet what the subject of these spaces will be. Be aware that not all sections of the museum have translations, a few are only in Bahasa.

Currently closed to foreigners! The museum is located on a military base and due to political instability, foreigners need a letter of approval from the headquarters in Jakarta. Not giving a low rating because it is at the airforce's discretion whether to allow people on their base or not.

Good experience to any students and military enthusiast. A couple week ago was our first visit to this museum. It is good for school and family to have a visit to this place. There are some different museum areas: indoor and outdoor, diorama, and other military vehicles. There are spacious parking area and some souvenirs stalls around.

Amazing place to learn about the Indonesian Air Force. It has a varied collection of combat planes that the TNI AU has. If you're lucky, you can see Indonesian Air Force planes training up close. The place is not very big, so you won't sweat too much. It definitely needs improvement to provide more context about the planes and objects displayed. Since it is only open during the hottest time of the day, adding more shady areas would be great.

Museum Dirgantara Yogyakarta is an incredible destination for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The museum boasts an impressive collection of aircraft, historical artifacts, and exhibits that provide a fascinating insight into Indonesia's aviation history. The displays are well-organized and informative, making it easy to navigate and understand the significance of each exhibit. From vintage airplanes to modern jets, the variety of aircraft on display is truly remarkable. Additionally, the museum provides detailed information about Indonesia's role in aviation, including notable figures and significant events. The staff at Museum Dirgantara are friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions and share interesting facts. The facility is clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable visit. Here are some tips for your visit: 1. Take your time to fully appreciate all the exhibits and displays. 2. If available, consider taking a guided tour to gain deeper insights into the exhibits. 3. Don’t forget your camera, as there are many great photo opportunities, especially with the aircraft. 4. Walking through the museum can take some time, so bring water to stay hydrated. Museum Dirgantara Yogyakarta is a must-visit for anyone interested in aviation and history. It offers a unique and educational experience that is both enjoyable and enriching. Highly recommended for visitors of all ages!

many collections of aircraft, indoor and outdoor. unfortunately we came during renovations, some collections are maybe not shown. ticket is 8.5K IDR per pax (is it cheaper because of renovation?), free for infant up to 3 years old. indoor museum contains collections of many figures' memorabilia and dioramas.

It's a Bali wannabe place, with temple and other statues in place. Really crowded with tourist wearing rented Balinese traditional costume during the visit. The paid toilet is well maintained and costly since it is privately owned by the warung owner. It is suggested to come during dry season since the location is quite a distance from Yogyakarta and the road is quite tricky. Though it provides beautiful view along the way.

The beaches are beautiful, but be mindful that there is a huge crowd of tourists in big buses, cars, and the road is in traffic, the parking lot is so crowded, everything moves slowly. And by the beach, thousands of people. They make the temple and rent the clothes for tourists to take pictures, that makes the place even more chaotic. If you want to find a quiet and serene place to see the nature, this is not a good idea to visit at weekend.

it's a beautiful beach in Yogyakarta (42 kilometers from the city). in other side, I lost my signal over there. you need a transportation to go there because there's no public transportation since the place is so far.

Two beaches in one. Ngobaran is a sacred place for the local Hindu communities. Nguyahan is the best for sunsets.

I usually come here before the other beach nearby called Ngrenehan. This place has architectural influence from the Hinduism. The view to the beach from the cliff is great. Now they have artificial boat also there for taking photo direction to the beach view. I took these photos at 5 am, so it might look dark. 😁

Love this beach! Not so crowded! So many amazing spot views! Located about an hour from the city center. Pretty easy to follow the google maps. Kinda Bali vibes but in Yogyakarta! Definitely will come back! There’s one “Pura” which already build about 25 years ago and still be used to pray. There’s not so many options for having lunch. Make sure you bring your meals box or simple move to another beaches nearby!

Good

great for vacation with your family even little child because there is part of the beach that the wave not so great, so little child can play more safe there is a hill at left side also that all ready have a wooden stairs to climb easily, and can get a great spot for taking photo with around View

Drini Beach is located in Gunung Kidul. It's a place where fishermen gather to catch fish, which they then sell fresh. Like other beaches, Drini Beach has its own canoeing area, unlike other beaches. There are plenty of affordable food stalls with friendly service. I recommend this beach for tourists who are bored with just playing in the water and taking photos, as it offers canoeing.

The best time to enjoy the beach is in the morning before 9 a.m. it offers canoeing, which is quite safe for children and adults

The beach was exceptionally clean. Remember to apply sunscreen and bring an umbrella for shade. I particularly enjoyed the beach because it offers calm waters without strong waves. This makes it safe for swimming, provided you stay within a reasonable distance from the shore. There are plenty of picturesque spots perfect for photography. Additionally, you can discover crabs, fish, and various sea creatures along the shore.

This beach is nice, suitable for families, the sunset view in the afternoon is good for taking pictures. Complete beach facilities such as prayer rooms, gazebos, toilets, etc. There are stalls selling various types of sea fish such as sea shells, squid, grouper, etc.

It's a two-hour drive from Yogyakarta through some mountain and jungle road and some villages. The beach was very clean. What's unique about this beach is that there is a small coral island in the middle of the sea, accessible by bridge. You have to pay 5k IDR to pass the bridge. From that island you can have a nice and beautiful view to the layer of mountains surrounding the beach.

Two beaches are not so big, one beach is towards the open sea and the other one is more like lagoon for canoeing exercise. Plenty beach umbrellas but for a fee for those sensitive to sunlight. Food can be slightly expensive though. Beach is free entrance and pay for your parked vehicle.

Good Place for kids & family

Soo fun and the price is reasonable.

Good place to go with the kids. Many of games

Lots of souvenirs can be bought here and they have a food court too, where you could take a break with nice tea or coffee.

Nice

The first place to go for having fun especially at weekend 😉

Wow, so much cool stuff on God

I have known this beach since 2011, and we often come here to do some rock climbing activities. The sand is white, the wave is big, and the view is just great. Out of all south Java beach on Yogyakarta, this is my favorite to healing. The access to this beach is not so easy so not many people would come, and big vehicles like buses can't access it. Also, there is no signal for the mobile phone, so when you come to this beach, for sure, you won't be able to live streaming on Instagram.

Nice place, beautiful place to healing

A beautiful beach with a very beautiful scenery. There's a lot of big coral here and the background either from bottom or from up is very good to see. A nice place to takes a pre-wedding​ photo shoot here. The wave is big and good enough to see and to refresh your mind. Just sitting at the big coral near the beach and just staring at the waves makes your mind get refreshed.

This beach is freaking beautiful. But local treat it wrong, so much trash around the sands, and they sometimes asking more for the fee (illegal). You not only could enjoying the beach but also can do a little 30 minutes hike to Bukit Pengilon and see a little waterfall called Banyu Tibo, the view is so breathtaking. 1. Legal government's entrance fee for 2 person: Rp. 10000 2. Some random local's entrance fee to hike to Bukit Pengilon for 2 person : Rp. 4000 3. Another random local's entrance fee to Banyu Tibo for 2 person: Rp. 6000 (it's listed Rp. 2000/person, but somehow the guy asking extra Rp. 1000) 4. Ice coconut drink at the beach: Rp. 13000 5. Illegal parking fee: Rp. 5000

I have stayed here one night with my family in May 2017 ... there is a small room on mountain just near this beach.... I took road trip from Jakarta and explored many good places in this region like Goa Pindul, Borobudur, so many places..... I love this place.

The beach has white sand, and has a large rock on the beach. Very beautiful scenery. The road to the beach is good and can be passed by car. This beach is perfect for holidays with family or with a partner. Beach entrance fee 1 person 5000 rupiah. Spacious car park.

Beautiful beach, watch out for bad bolt quality when climbing (see my review on Wisata climbing).

It's very nice and beautiful. Short beaches that are broken up by cliffs. The beaches are protected by a coral reef, where most of the waves crash. There are many different seashells and coral to look at.

the beach is beautiful... it's just a bit crowded, maybe because it's the weekend

Bright sand and easy small kids. The parking space is directly at the beach for 10.000 IDR No interesting food in the resto’s only instant meal. But they have usually fresh coconut water. There are shower and toilet facilities around 5.000 IDR. Some dark and dirty, some really clean ones with day light. When flooded it is possible to swim upfront. When the water in the afternoon goes away it remains a pool easy to roam for small non swimming kids. Don’t leave the kids unattended, there might be bigger waves that come in unexpected. In the afternoon you can walk on the coral/stones “platform” that shows up stuffed with bright green seaweed on the surface to be able to reach the big rock. Very “instagramable” 😊 Not too crowded even on holidays.

Pantai Ngadong Beach is a picturesque spot with the added comfort of cliffs providing shade. It's equipped with showers, toilets, and ample paid parking. However, visitors should be cautious of the strong sea currents and avoid venturing too far into the water.

Visited over weekday and was a good day to enjoy the beach and its beauty. Will never come over public holiday!! Facilities are acceptable. I'm not confidence in buying any fritters sold there. The 500m beach entrance road needs to be re-made.

Less frequented and thus calmer than most of its neighbors, but nothing less beautiful. Around a rock there are some corals to explore. If you’re hungry, try the restaurant with a red façade on the left when facing the sea. Delicious seafood for very reasonable prices.

Nice and beautiful beach with white sand. Thank God it is not occupied by beach club hehe. One thing important is quiet clean and no garbage everywhere. Keep it up Ngandong people!

Its a beautiful and clean beach, the authorities really take care this beach, you can also see a cave, and waterfall right on it. The range of price is around 15.000 - 35.000. I have a nice time right there. They have a nice guide and will offer to help taking your picture, they won't charge you, but don't forget to always pay the entry to every spot you want to go. Have fun~~ p.s: the road is a bit rough, but it's okay for bike and car to go through.

The place is small but the view is amazing! The water was crystal clear with smell of sea water. On normal days you can see a waterfall falling down to the sea. But since there was a big wave hit the rock the other day, the waterfall was closed. The sad thing is, there are still trashes here and there. 🙄 The road we take, took around 1-2 hours with car from city.

This beach become special cos there is waterfall will flow to the sea.but so sad when i came to this beach is dry season. The waterfall is so small. Many villagers use the river for the padi field. There is cave in this beach too. U can go inside and got another view of this beach.

The place is great, the view is good for photography. But the river near the beach isn't healthy (it's dirty with some water-plants. But you can pass it with a wooden bridge on top of it (and it's safe)

Really a great place. There's so many attractions in this beach. This beach don't have a sand, not suitable for children to play.

Rocks are everywhere in this southern shoreline of Jogjakarta. The best way in here is the waterfall, right down from the small river into the ocean. Faboulus

The view is stunning. The clear water combined with waterfall, overall this place left me speechless. Sure, I'll coming back here again anytime I visit Jogja

if you wanna go here just prepare your motor bike, using car is not recommended because the road was so really bad. the best thing i ever know if there are people camp here, store will not close, they open for 24 hours you cant buy a coffee in the middle of the night. when night comes some people will fishing here, until morning comes. you will not get a good sunrise here, nut you will get beautiful sunset from the top of the hill. if you camp here, the wind is not strong but the wave will get bigger in the night, and the place is about scary in the night.

A beautiful secluded beach (situated south-east of wonosari) where you can enjoy an unspoiled view. Yet, you have to do a bit tracking to get to this place. And to reach the beach, a long walk on a winding path is necessary. Never think of visiting this beach if you don't have a good stamina 😉

Awesome place, but you have to try as hard as you can to get there, access the cobbled and muddy roads, the internet signal does not exist, the tracking tracks are steep and slippery, but when you get to this place you will love the fusion of waterfalls, river, beaches, its waterblow, hill, and corals are very charming,

Worth the visit with its own unique view.. Although access by car & motorcycle can be difficult.

Maybe the access road was not so good, especially when it was raining. We had some trouble getting there with motorcycle. But the scenery is spectacular. And there's still not many guests coming over. It's just like personal beach.

Best place for photo tour.. i had been here few time for photo tour indonesia. If need guide you can dm me too

Watu Lumbung Beach is a new attraction not so far from the popular Wediombo Beach, Girisubo District, Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. From the main road from Wonosari to Wediombo, take a turn to a narrow village path about 200 m long which is paved partially with a two-way concrete block. You can stop at the parking lot and enjoy the seaside view from a round stage with steps. Otherwise you can walk or hire a motorbike drive (ojek) for Rp 20,000.- to go 200 m down a steep road to the water. Friendly staff. An "emergency" toilet and musholla (moslem prayer room) can be used for a donation.

The beach is beautiful actually but it's too commercial. The entrance fee is 25k IDR with no additional facilities like welcome drink or something (which is quite expensive compared to other beaches in the area), there is also another fee from the government 8k IDR before entry Gesing, Kesirat and Wohkudu beach. And you still have to pay for parking your vehicle. The plus point are the beautiful scenery, clean and wide toilet and clean mosque. But the minus is the cost and can not swim in the beach (if you prefer to swim) also you have to pay more to play the Ferris wheel (bianglala)

It’s best to come here when it’s not too crowded. The peaceful atmosphere makes the visit more enjoyable. You can sit back and enjoy the cool sea breeze brushing your face. There are plenty of spots available to relax and unwind, making it a great place for some quiet time alone or with someone close. Gesing Beach is perfect for staring into the distance, watching the wide open sky meet the endless ocean. The sound of the waves and the calm surroundings create the ideal setting to reflect and clear your mind.

the view is very beautiful, the facilities are in the process of being built but the picture is already visible, the construction of the mini port is like not in Wonosari, when we arrived there were only 2 cars, including my family and several motorbikes, maybe because it was only launched around last month, we planned 6 next month or next year, I'm wondering what it will look like when the plants in the garden are big and the other facilities are ready... you have to visit but keep it clean so it stays beautiful... throw the rubbish in its place, yesterday there wasn't a rubbish bin available, hopefully there will be one later

didn’t get enough time to explore the place, so we decided to go straight to the cafe at the farthest left of the beach. it was beautiful.

You won't be disappointed visiting this beach. With beautiful cliff and wave, you will be satisfied with the view of Southern Sea of Java. The place is little bit remote but the road for reaching the place is already good. You can enjoy this beach like private beach because just some people know this place.

The site is still open for public even though under construction. However, this construction has obstructed not only the cleanliness but also the beach’s scenery. I It is not recommended to visit the beach unless the construction has been finished. You have to pay IDR 10k for the entrance ticket, and IDR 5k for motorbike parking.

Wow. Really magical experinces. Must visit and worth the 2 hours trip from town

A place to stay, have many home stays with sea views. Price about 500-600k rupiah. Can walk to multiple beaches. Has sea food fresh from the sea.

Too much unnecessary payment like gate payment, parking payment & another payment for going in. Overall the beach is ok not that dirty.

The white-sand beach is located in Gunungkidul Regency with all the beautiful sights from many sides. My favorite one is from a gazebo above the "rock island" close from the coastline. You can see another cliffs and get your sight more farther like water and sky are touched. Blue and higher waves is the another reasons why I more comfortable enjoy this view in height, because we can't get wet or swimming at coastline for safety purpose. At the shore I didn't found much waste like another beaches that I've visited before, it makes +1 why I love this place.

The sky and the sea are very clear up here. They encase the beautiful view that lure everyone so we would be amazed with the nature.. We came here during the office time back then, therefore it seems quiet in these photos. We can also enjoy the breeze drifting on by the rocks and it's so relaxing! Perfect place for refreshing our mind.

Kukup Beach is probably no stranger to the people of Jogja. It’s one of the more popular local spots for a beach getaway. What makes this beach stand out is a huge coral rock sitting right near the shore. Honestly, it’s so big it almost looks like a two-story house—you could even call it a mini island. The waves here aren’t too strong, so it’s relatively safe to play near the water. But do be careful—the rocks can get pretty slippery. Facilities? Pretty complete. There are toilets, showers, and lots of small shops along the path to the beach. If you ever visit, don’t forget to grab some souvenirs from the local stalls—most of them sell delicious seafood-based products. Oh, and don’t miss the hill right next to the beach! There’s a well-made concrete staircase leading up, and the view from the top is absolutely worth it. 📸 Like this kind of local travel vibe?

Came here on vacation and it was very busy and crowded. Honestly, I didn't expect there's a beach in a mountainous area, the view was really good! if you walk 30 meters to the right there's another photo spot but be careful of the waves. Around the beach, there are many stalls and shops selling souvenirs as well. There's also a family villa on the hill before entering the beach area.

Lovely, clean beach. There is a lot of coral-like flat so that when the tide is right you can wade out far and see a lot of life hiding in the tide-water. Beautiful cliffs as well. A little busy, even on a Monday, but not too much.

visited here during eid break, and it’s totally CROWDED. the water is pretty shallow so it’s safe for u to swim. the locals provide canoeing, snorkeling, documentation, seafood, and toilets; so u dont need to worry abt the services. entry fee: 15k each parking: 15k canoe: 100k (for 3 people) spot to sit (saung): 30k toilet 3k, shower 5k seafood is affordable, but it’s unfortunately not fresh🥲 (155k/4person, crab 70k)

The palace is clean on the beach too but you have to pay attention to the rocks under the water. Not expensive I mean the rent of the place where you stay in I didn't try any food there because I had my own and yeah you can bring your food and drinks with you. There are toilets and showers but don't expect that they're clean like home . Of course you have to pay for an entrance ticket.

Nice beach but waves are bit big so look out for kids but the rental of cannoe was fun at 100k per child.

A good beach for relaxation, water sports and food.

It’s really nice beach. You can enjoy your vacation here. You can swim also. Recommend if you come at sunset time.

sadly when i came here, the weather isnt good. so we got bad weather. i suggest to come when sunny day and in morning. so you will get good sunrise scene. this place is beautifull. you can enjoy various seafood snack. there is some cottage around area so you can spend night if you want. bring extra clothes because you gonna get wet with ocean water. not too crowded so i recommend this place if you want to spend time with your family or friend.

The beach is very beautiful and clean.

Beautiful beach. Enjoyed our stay there camping, despite the rain.

The beach was great, the sand and the water wasn't polluted so it's very enjoyable especially if you bring childrens here they'll love the sand! There are several places offerings foods, drinks, and even tents and mattress since the beach are available for tents. Although the beach was rather far (esp from the city) but it was worth the long ride. The beach is very lovely!

Great Hidden Gems for Jogja Tourism. Please keep the cleanliness. Beware of using the toilets here, they will charges you without any infornation before. The beach was great, good view, clean sands. This beach is not forbiden for swimming or any sea-water activities, dangerous wave but it is beautiful. Enjoy!

White sand, clean, breezy wind, small sawungs selling indomie. Perfect! Not so crowded here. Pinched by 2 hills, so you can hike up and see the vew from above. Next beside the hill is a virgin beach. Even more empty, if you want some really quite place to enjoy the nature.

such a nice place to chill~❤️

White coral sandy beach caters to young and oldies. A lovely strech with 1 side with coral area - safe for small children to swim and have a bath and the other side for good wavy beach. It can cater all level of age - bear in mind that walking in deep sand is quite tiring for some old people. Access road from main road is quite bumpy rocky one. 700m to reach the beach may need extra caution driving as the road is not asphalt one but rather rocky and cemented pavement. Be careful and you'll be fine. I drove odyssey and it required a very very very extra slow drive. Parking is easy and will not require far walking to the front beach. For cars, it is 5K IDR. Eating stalls are available for few vendors, public toilets as well praying area. Cabanas are available but rather far from the water. Bring your own beach chairs or beach mat for max enjoyment. You can access all up to the big rock for taking some good pictures - add access may cost you no harm. You can camp here. Bring your own or rent a tent for 50K. Else - there are some villas to rent. Overall - a recommended spot.

Best place to camp is at the corner of the beach because car was parked right behind our tents and it was surrounded by trees where we hangs our hammock. Camp utilities are rented, and the tents were built before our arrival so it’s very much convenient. Toilet using were free upon camping rentals. It also the closest to a walkway to neighborhood beach (pantai Drini) that offers much more activities like paddling, canoeing and sunbathing. They provide umbrellas and gazebos for rent. Gazebo rent is 50k IDR for 2 hours.

The beach is clean and not so crowded in the weekend. I went there on Sunday with family and I have no problem to park. The WC are clean and the food are affordable. Recommended to have culinary visit as well as seeing beaching, not for playing on the seashore.

Sun sets, we wander through a foreign town Strangely, there's nobody else around So you open your dress and show me your … On the swing set at the old playground🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

White Sand Beach. Access to location from main road is necessary urgent to be repaired. Car parking fee 5000 IDR. Car park on side with the beach. There a lot of parking area. For safety reason, SAR available on this beach. Local Restaurant set a affordable price for their food and drink. For Muslim, Don't need worry to visit this on Friday because there is mosque that held friday pray. A lot of artificial romantic spot for taking pictures also there are many local photographer who can take your momment with affordable service rate.

The beach is clean, there is a playground for children that is safe, there is a place to sell typical sea fish, traditional village cuisine and beautiful beaches just before sunset.

Sepanjang Beach is one of the beaches in Yogyakarta located in the Gunung Kidul area. This beach has a beauty that is no less good than other beaches. This beach can also be made snorkeling by young people. In addition to the beauty of white Pasuruan, the water in this beach is also still quite clear. The tourists will not regret coming to this place.

White sand beach, clean and not so crowded. Since the bus can't enter here coz the road is very small, it will stay that way for a while.

So far away off from the main Yogyakarta city centre but it is worth to go. The view to. Go there is beautiful. Amazing landscape. The beach it selff is pretty popular. White sandy beach. Good for family picnic. Lots of warung selling yummy seafood menu. Including some fritters such as crab and fish. The road to get here is a bit narrow, so please stay alert during your drive/ride. I did not see any homestay or hotel around here but I chose to stay in Yogyakarta, go there in early morning and spend the day to lunch there. There are other tourism spot on the way to the beach so feel free to try everything. It was pretty clean actually.

Very beautiful place, polite and friendly people and also very affordable too, the only downside is the lack of signal reception with ALL providers and a relatively shallow place to swim. Entry ticket per person is 5k from the gate, 50k for snorkeling & swimming bundled with Underwater photograph & 35k for the bridge crossing. Additional fees are 4k for taking a shower, 2k for changing, 5k for ojek ride to the beach (you can walk for free, it's around 5-10 mins). Food is relatively cheap, 150k for a portion of 5 people. Recommended to find time off-season to snorkel and enjoy the beach, remember to bring a wetsuit along with GLOVES, the corals are sharp, and the sea is shallow, YOU WILL GET CUTS IF YOU SWIM WITH NORMAL CLOTHES.

The place was cool! It has many activities to offer, even for a snorkeling. You better coordinate with the admin when is the best time to snorkeling. Fee for activities also wasnt very expensive. The beach itself is still clean. Oh, use ojeg to go inside the beach. Its quite a walk to go there.

One of the best beach in Gunungkidul. The access is limited, you can not bring your car here. You can take a 800 m - 1 km walk from the parking area to the beach, or you can ride your motorbike / take ojek motor (Rp 5000 per person). There's a snorkeling shop facility so you can rent snorkeling equipment there.

I visited Nglambor Beach 5 year ago lol but i will give a review when i visited that day, Nglambor Beach is one of beautiful beach in Gunung Kidul area, there's a lot of spot that u can used for take a pic ahaha also in Nglambor Beach u can snorkling, for snorkling u can rent the equipment there plus the documentation used gopro.

A very natural dan beautiful beach i ever visited. Its places on nglambor distric, gunung kidul city, special regional of yogyakarta provincy. Easy to find the place by car, bus or motorcycle. the cost for entry ticket and snorkling is very reasonable.

It's a good place for starter snorkeling. The area depth is quite low, so no worries of getting drowned. One thing that must be improved is signal reception. No provider is available in there.

A good place to spend your time with family and friend. Have a lot of spot to take an instagramable picture. Have a place to snorkeling too. But, too bad, when I got there the situation of the sea is not too good (sedang gelombang tinggi). But it's okay because there's is another good place at this place. We can test our braveness by walking at a bridge.

This is one of the beaches that must be visited if you come to Jogja, you can judge the view yourself.. in my opinion, if you come at the right time, this beach is truly extraordinary.

Fascinating view and we can rent the hut just to get a rest or enjoy the view, I just a little bit bothered with a photographer service, we even not asking him to capture our picture but suddenly he came and ask money to us from capturing our picture, we're not even ask him!!

good place for vacation with family sea wave is so intense so better not playing near the sea border the sands is white and pretty clean but also the sands is pretty rough the view also great

I went there very late in the afternoon before sunset. So it's a bit quiet, it feels like a private beach. Entrance is 30k rupiah (I forgot hahah) and the foods there are so expensive. It's better if we bring supplies. Prayer rooms are also very difficult to find. You have to ask someone there first to show you

Located on Kidul Mountain, easy to find by google maps. I recommend you as a tourist to rent a car to go there, and you could rent their gazebo for relax and lunch. I rent gazebo only for IDR 30K on weekday, the food price quite affordable. There's many paid toilet public. I recommend you to climb the hills and look the scenery. notes: don't forget to keep our nature clean:)

Slili Beach is a small, peaceful beach located between Sundak and Krakal Beach in Gunungkidul. I went there last month for a short getaway. I really enjoyed my time there! The beach wasn’t too crowded, and the water was clear with soft white sand. It felt like a hidden gem. There were small local stalls selling seafood and fresh coconut water. I also liked that the parking area was close to the beach. I’d recommend Slili Beach to people who are looking for a quiet, clean beach away from the crowds.

Worth a visit! You can't swim here but you can stay on the shore for a photo, there is a gazebo, you can rent it for 30k IDR, food is good! I came on a weekday so I don't know how crowded it will be on the weekend.

Good place to hiking. Great nature. Some tracks is a bit difficult so prepare your stamina.

Suitable for those looking for light adventure, good environment, fresh air, already have path direct to the top

Very beautiful views up the peak, this is a historical place, one of geopark of yogyakarta, ancient volcano, you will get to the peak about 1.5 hour from the starting point, be careful cause the terain is steep, the sign board are noticeable thought, i suggest to bring drinks, and use running shoes istead reguler. Good destination to start a trip

It's a good place for hiking even for beginner. I usually come here to run training with some elevation. It's around 2.8 km for up and down track with elevation gain around 250m. Be careful when rain season since track can be slippery in some place.

The first time I visited this place was in 2009 and it still be my favorite hiking place till now because it is beautiful, clean and easy to reach. The hiking route is about 1.5 hour to the summit (normal hike and sometimes take a seat for resting and taking photos).

Very nice place to visit prepare shoes and casual t-shirt

Always miss this place. Used to visit here once in six months. The track was like change every time I visited. It's clearer now. But due to the recent re opening, the track filled with moss, centipedes, leaves.

Coming here is a bit of challenges, narrow road, slippery path, yet the scenery here worth all the sweats. I got wrong advertise on IG which said that this is a good spot to view sunrise, but in the contrary, locals said it is well known for it's beautiful sunset. We come very early in the morning around 4AM, nevertheless we still amaze with the breathtaking views. Note: since it's actually a cliff please watch your step carefully.

The road access was smooth but too narrow. We have to walk for 500m to reach the main place. This beach is more like a cliff, there is no sand. But the view was amazingly great, especially when you come at sunset.

The scenery is very good, neatly arranged and similar to the Teletubbies hill. Very suitable for camping. Highly recommended for those who like to see the vastness of the sea.

i went to kesirat beach in the middle of the day, wow the peak of summer! but the result iiisss......wow, another hidden treasure beach here. We couldn't going down there, but its okay, just enjoy the breeze. be careful of the ants on shrubs if you wanna take photos at edge the cliff, kids !

Amazing! This’s not kinda actual beach where you can play in the sands. More into a Clift with oceans view! What a great vibes! When you visit wohkudu beach, just leave your vehicle there and go here by walk ! Pretty close! Again! The views is amazing! Wound love to camp here. For your information that you will not find electricity. Welcome to nature! The infrastructure is also great!

i love the view, the waves, the sound of the waves, the sunset, the cliffs, and the trips to this place. the best time to enjoy all of these is 4-5 pm. when sun went down, it was quite dark.

Actually it's not really a beach. It's a cliff with ocean view. Local people usually went there for fishing. It's a bit secluded with small road, only fits for one car and the road bit rough. The parking lots not many for cars but adequate for motorcycles. The parking fee is about 5000 IDR for a car and 2000 IDR for a motorcycle. There are only 2 toilets managed by local resident who also sell simple drinks and snacks.

Its cleanliness is outstanding, blue-green degradation sea panoramic entertains our eyes and put back our lost heart. Whoever take a visit here must prepare clothes spare because you cant resist to not get your body wet, btw snorkeling equipment also provided by local resident

Amazing view, clean beach. I heard Its the only beach on the area where you could play with the water. There is coral plateu, separating the beach area from outer sea. So the wave that reaching the beach isn't too strong for south java sea, but it still strong in my opinion, though. There's also alot people who renting tools for 'diving'. I put the word diving inside apostroke, because it isn't real diving. But be warned, there is a lot people who asking for money on the way until you reach the beach. Some is official, but others isn't. The official one is only Rp9.500,-/person by the local goverment (at the moment). But you some people also want to 'rob' you by asking parking fee, deposit fee, etc2. Also becarefull when choosing 'warung' if you decided to buy food or drink. Because some of their the food is literally a scam. And be warned again, the small hut there is rented, not free. At the moment, you need to pay Rp.30.000,- for one session.

This beach is relatively crowded but it somehow is still clean. There are some motels as well there. You can rent a small hut ( IDR 20.000 / hour, price may change). Some also rent snorkeling and kayaking gears.

The beach rather crowd people the wheather rather warm no sunsine...our giude for snorkeling is mr.adi nice person we used acomodation from Riady place Snorkeling...TQ 😁🐬13 feb 22 🌊

The beach are clean and save forbthe children to play arround and learn how to price thw GOD creation.. Are so amazing

Good place and good for spent with family, many wash room, foodcourt and the best is snorkeling, the waves is small so its save even for the children

nice place for pleasure and refreshing, with white sand beach n enjoy snorkeling

Watu Lawang Beach has the charm of beautiful rocks combined with clean white sand, the sea is very blue. On the edge of the beach there are also many food places that face the beach so we can eat while enjoying the beauty of the beach. Road access is also smooth so you can really enjoy the trip.

Beach is clean, not too crowded, food and drinks are within reasonable price, the rock formations are magnificent, plenty of gazebos to sit, parking fees are reasonable too, and the roads leading up here are in good condition. The only downside is that there is a prayer room/musholla but no dedicated space to perform wudhu. Thus we have to pay to use the bathroom only to do wudhu. The bathrooms are clean though.

The place is clean and beautiful. You only need to pay IDR 10k per people at the entry gate. The local people also provide foods and place for an affordable price.

Beautiful beach, beautiful sunset and a Sunrise if you are lucky guys, blue sky, white sand beach. But, unwell rood conditions. You have to walk a little from the parking lot until you arrive at the beach. And then you have to pay RP. 20,000 when seated in the existing gazebo.

Nice. You can build a tend and stay for a night. It very nice for camping.

Not too far and usually not too crowded. Foods and drinks are in reasonable price. Comfortable parking lot but sometimes muddy. The road is too narrow (only fit for 1 car). Beautiful and the reef is not sharp which mean good for swimming but be careful of the big wave.

Beautiful, hidden beach located on the east side of Indrayanti beach. You can reach Watulawang beach by actually going through a secret path in the Indrayanti beach. There were some trashes when I visited, it's sad. Please do not litter.

My recent escape to Pantai Ngerumput was a serene revelation, and I'm eager to paint a vivid picture of this coastal haven on Google Maps! Pantai Ngerumput is not just a beach; it's a masterpiece woven by nature's hand. As I strolled along the shore, the gentle rustle of the palm trees and the rhythmic music of the waves whispered tales of tranquility. The golden sands of Pantai Ngerumput stretch like a welcoming carpet, inviting you to unwind and let the worries of the world be carried away by the sea breeze. It's a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. The pristine waters are a mesmerizing blend of azure and emerald, beckoning you to dip your toes into their refreshing embrace. Pantai Ngerumput isn't just a destination; it's a rejuvenating experience for the soul. Nature's artwork extends beyond the shoreline. The coastal vegetation adds a touch of green to the golden landscape, creating a picturesque backdrop that's perfect for a leisurely stroll or a moment of introspection. The charm of Pantai Ngerumput is not just in its natural beauty but also in its simplicity. No bustling crowds or flashy attractions, just the pure, unspoiled beauty of the beach waiting to be discovered. In conclusion, Pantai Ngerumput is a coastal sanctuary for those seeking solace in nature's embrace. Whether you're a beachcomber, a sunset enthusiast, or simply in search of a tranquil escape, this hidden gem has it all. My time here was a serene interlude, and I wholeheartedly recommend Pantai Ngerumput to anyone yearning for a coastal escape that's as beautiful as it is peaceful. Prepare to immerse yourself in the gentle rhythm of Pantai Ngerumput and let the beauty of nature unfold before you!

Oh, there's somethin' I've been meaning to Say to you, baby (hold that thought) Yeah, there's somethin' I've been meaning to Say to you, baby, but I just can't do it

Beautifully hidden. Quite a journey to go there but it was paid off. The beach is clean. Toilets available even not a proper one. If you want to get a better picture, you can climb the rock (?) hill. Just be careful because it's not safely equipped. Several camping equipments also available to rent. Perfect. Definitely coming back here.

A spot you have to go once in your life! It looks beautiful and is not crowded. You need a little effort to go down. Few spots are offered and I bought Coconuts here. 15k each!

This is a quiet and a bit hidden beach. You should walk less than 10 minutes to reach the beach. People said you could have a nice night camp right here. Or you can just enjoy the sunset by climb the Kosakora Hill at the side of the beach

One of the good beaches in Jogja, the beach is still quite quiet, suitable for family camping or with friends, very affordable entrance tickets, large and safe parking area, highly recommended💜

I think this place is great, because when you lucky, you can enjoy wide beach fulled by grass, and the wave is so small. So breathtaking. This place also suitable to build a tent. The view is prettier when you up to the hill.

This Sadeng beach has a beautiful view. The water is also clean and clear. The air is also very cool. There is also a fish sale, we can see a variety of fish sold by fishermen there. We have a good time there.

I love this place especially the water cz it has different color due to the solar is produced from the fishing boat. I love this place very much so calming and beautiful.

Memorable beach for pre wedding pics 15 years ago. Still love this place. The seafood's also good.

Small beach with lots of boats and fishing stuffs. Delicious seafood.

🌊

Definitely not a place to have a picnic.

The main fish port in Yogyakarta. You can find fisherman with 1month trip, 10days trip, 5days trip, or 1day trip based on their size of the boat (the bigger, the longer trip). If you want to see the fisheries activities, my experience in the early January was came here on Saturday at 9 a.m and wait for the 5days trip's boat to come at TPI. They may bring fish like tuna or skipjack. The loading takes about 90minutes before it's transported to the nearby storage owned by local's. Wait for another hour then it will be transferred to the fish market if you want to see/buy them. If you want to search some lobsters you may come to the smallest boat (1day trip), because mostly they only hunt for some crustaceans. Another alternative work hour you can see is in the early morning before 7 a.m or late night at 11 p.m.

Kalisuci Cave tubing on weekday feels like owning the place friendly, very kind and helpful guide. Water level higher and bit muddy from the rain day before. Amenities like cloth, toiletries and food available at local store Qris available too

Seru si tapi ga expect track nya sependek itu , maybe less than 1hr, but the effort to get up after finish the track is crazy

An amazing natural attraction in Yogyakarta! Kalisuci Cave Tubing in Gunungkidul offers an exciting experience of tubing along an underground river inside the cave. The scenery is stunning, the water is crystal clear, and the atmosphere is peaceful, far from the city crowds. Perfect for adventure lovers and nature seekers. A must-try when visiting Yogyakarta! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would highly recommend my friends and family to go here. It is such a great experience. My very first time caving experience with those professional guide. The explanation about the safety guideline is clear and easy to understand. And the tour guide itself is very fun. Everyone should come over and try this new adventures.

Fantastic experience! We went cave tubing in Kalisuci and loved it. Just the two of us, always felt safe, and still had so much fun. Beautiful scenery and great guides — highly recommended!

It’s a great experience. The cave is beautiful and natural. On the finish spot, you need to climb up a bit to reach the main road and it’s kinda steep so make sure you’re strong enough to climb 5-floors stairs. The staff are awesome and friendly; they explain the history of the cave along the way, casually have a chat with us, help us taking photos and suggest the best photo spots/poses.

Totally recommend this. Very beautiful cave and friendly workers there. Very fun experience. Only thing is after all the fun, there are some steep steps to climb up. Recommend to bring your own water shoes and waterproof phone pouch. The workers there are very good in taking pictures too

it's like private beach because it so quiet & calm in there, we can swim because the wave not that big & it has a lot of coral. we just need to pay the parking lot & doesn't need to pay entrance ticket

It is bit difficult to climb down to this beach, but definitely worth it, still quiet and beautiful beach

I ever stayed one night in this beach. Camping with my friends. It was really nice. The beach is not too crowded.

Awesome lanscape of beach. Great place to come. But no idea why there are signs prohibiting swimming

Quiet place to enjoying the view of the sea. A right place to have fun with your friends

Its a camping beach that provide parking spot both for cara and motorcycle, A bathroom,a mosque and a restaurant This beach can be your private beach on non weekend day This beach crowded in weekends

We did prewed photoshot here on march 2021. Very nice beach.

A magnificent hidden beach for those who love adventure! It can only be reached 45-minute on foot. If you bring vehicles then park them in Wediombo beach area. The next thing you find after you start walking is a rocky path with dry lands as far as you can see. It's a really challenging adventure, moreover if you go there with your kids. They loved it very much though. Yet you have to be careful with the sheer rock face. The beach itself is still quiet and clean. Feels like it's a private one. There is a small food stall whose seller is friendly and helpful. The couple provide clean bathrooms and nice simple food like egg and rice, instant noodle and such. The price is cheap too. They also rent dome tent, since this beach is also a favourite camping destination. So if you love a thrilling journey, then Greweng beach is definitely for you!

The path to the beach is hard; not suitable for any (Indonesian) eldery since it's rocky, pretty slippery when and after raining, and it's basically tracking. But the effort is worth it; Greweng is a cozy, not-very-wide beach with a stunningly beautiful scenery. The water is clear and rocky cliffs give us shade when it's sunny. Not much people know (and have efforts to go to) this beach, so it feels like a private beach for anyone who get here

Hidden beach, perfect for camping in here, to reach this place you must walk 30 minutes till 1 hour, but the panorama is amazing, worth it if you look for quite place, because just some people know this place and want to go here cause of the accessibility, but the road construction still on going, hope it will be done as soon as posible

Actually this beach is beautiful, but you need to exert all of your energy to get here. You have to do trekking for around 45mins, uphill and downhill, plus the path isn't smooth. I suggest you to come here after 3PM, because this place is so hot!!! Do not forget to bring water, because during the trekking you will only find one small stall. You can find another stalls on the beach. This beach is for young people, considering the trekking is quite difficult. But once you get here, it all paid off. The local said not many people know this beach, so you can say this beach is "a private beach" 🤣

Lovely guide who brought us to this place. We couldnt swim because of high tide, but still the beach is sooo beautifull, you just have to see it

It will take 30-45 minutes to walk on the easy difficult track. Kids under 3 and moms probably won't make it because the track is unsafe for them to walk on but after finishing the long journey, you'll see the beautiful beach surounded by two beautiful rocks which look like a dolphin and a turtle for me lol. The view is very good, quiet because there are just some people staying there (they usually have a camp there). There are also food stalls which offer cigarettes as well. Importantly, the toilets are clean and they smell at least clean. This is the beach which will make you tired before feeling pleased after seeing its beauty.

Good beach, its look beautiful, but the panorama of beach can be seen after tracking at least 20minutes from parking area

They had a major renovation since my last visit like 12 years ago. The dioramas/museum or display rooms are air-conditioned. Local tourist entry fee is Rp15,000. Toilets need attention. Kraton is the Sultan’s palace, at least toilets should be cleaner for the visitors to reflect the level of importance of the place. They provide tour guide if you’re interested in the history. Fortunately, there are clear explanation posted on the wall of each rooms and artifacts. Dances performance available as scheduled regularly.

The Yogyakarta Royal Palace, officially known as Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat or the Sultan's Palace, is widely regarded as an essential cultural and historical site in Yogyakarta. It serves as the official residence of the Sultan of Yogyakarta and is a living museum dedicated to preserving Javanese traditions. Overall Impressions & Key Highlights The palace holds a strong reputation. Cultural Significance: It is a must-visit for anyone interested in Javanese history, culture, and royalty. It is the political and cultural nucleus of the Sultanate, which is unique in modern Indonesia. Architecture: We were captivated by the traditional Javanese architecture (mostly Joglo style), which features elegant pavilions, intricate carvings, and an overall design that reflects the Javanese cosmos. Many find the courtyards and traditional buildings beautiful and Instagram-Worthy. Authenticity: The Kraton is not just a historical ruin; it is a functioning royal residence and a center where centuries-old traditions are still practiced by the Sultan and his courtiers (Abdi Dalem). Cultural Experiences & Exhibits A major draw for the palace is the living culture it showcases: Cultural Performances:If you time your visit correctly, you can witness captivating traditional performances, Museums: The complex houses exhibits with artifacts from the Sultanate's past, including royal regalia, traditional costumes, weapons, and carriages. Arts and Crafts: Some parts of the complex may offer glimpses into traditional Javanese crafts, such as the process of making batik. ### 🧐 **What to Know Before You Go (Tips & Practicalities)** Reviews often include important practical advice for visitors: Best Time to Visit Mornings are strongly recommended. The palace is less crowded, the weather is cooler, and most importantly, cultural performances typically occur in the morning. Duration of Visit. You should keep 1 hour to 2 hours to fully explore the public areas and museum exhibits. Tickets & Fees The entrance fee is generally inexpensive. Dress Code The Kraton is a sacred and respected place. Visitors are advised to dress appropriately (no hats, modest clothing). Sarongs may be provided or required at the entrance. Ambiance While architecturally stunning, some reviewers describe the experience as "static" or "observational" rather than highly interactive. The focus is on appreciating the history and tranquil atmosphere. Nearby AttractionsThe palace is centrally located and can easily be combined with a visit to the **Taman Sari (Water Castle)**, which is about a 15-minute walk away. | Be aware of touts, particularly near the main gates or the popular Malioboro Street, who may try to lead you to overpriced batik shops under the pretense of a "Sultan's workshop" or offer unofficial services. Stick to the official ticket counter and verified guides if you choose to hire one.

Indonesian cultural heritage that is still preserved until now. Always amazed every time I come here. You can use a tour guide to explain every part of the building and the treasures stored.

The Yogyakarta Royal Palace (Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat) is a highly recommended destination for visitors to Yogyakarta. The palace grounds are exceptionally well-maintained, contributing to a serene and respectful atmosphere. The palace complex features intricate architecture, well-preserved courtyards, and significant artifacts. Our visit was significantly enhanced by the presence of an experienced guide, who provided valuable insights into the history and culture of the palace. Although we were unable to attend a traditional performance, we had the opportunity to observe a rehearsal, which offered a unique perspective on the dedication and artistry of Javanese cultural traditions. This visit provides an insightful exploration into Javanese royalty. P.S. Please be aware of individuals outside the palace who may misinform visitors about temporary closures, attempting to redirect them to batik shops. We encountered this tactic but proceeded directly to the palace entrance. Visitors are advised to verify operational hours independently to ensure an uninterrupted visit.

Interesting tour of the Sultan’s palace. Our guide was helpful and informative. The shadow puppet show and the music was the highlight but appreciated learning so much about the history and culture of the place.

I visited the Yogyakarta Royal Palace and was able to see a traditional dance performance which was very interesting. Shorts are not allowed but you can buy a sarong for 50,000 IDR at a nearby shop before getting your ticket. The palace itself is quite small and in my opinion not that impressive but for 25,000 IDR it is worth visiting if you are in town. It is a nice way to experience a bit of local culture.

Visiting the Royal Palace of Yogyakarta was a beautiful experience. The people were incredibly friendly and helpful, and there was so much to see and explore.

The beach is really beautiful, the road is bad but it pays off when we arrive at the beach, but we were unlucky because when we got there it was raining heavily so we couldn't play on the beach, we only ate instant noodles at a stall while waiting for the rain to stop

Perfect place for relaxin, short escape from boring routinity, like, I mean it. Even though the trip could feels exhausting because it's off the beaten path, however at the end of the day, it's a trip that worth to go for

it is located in Ngetun beach. It is near watu gentong peak. The place is tranquil. The weather is sunny at 10 am. There are clean restroom, wide parking area complete food stalls, mosque, and camping ground. I enjoy the fresh air and beautifull view. I love natural vibe. I hate there are rubbish around camping ground and difficult road access

Hey dont come here, just DONT! This is a private beach.. sooo nice.. and I don't want your plastic wastes be in every place of this beautiful beach!

has a superb view. feel like your private beach

Natural beach with white sands. Perfect place for camping. Vehicle parking available. Fresh water bathroom also.

The way to get there is getting better each year but still prefer using motorcycle. Nice beach with it's "watu edan" legend.

The place isn't too crowded. The place is calm and the best for refreshing our mind.

Clean, less people and crowds also the people is humble too. You will find many Bulu Babi and Kelabang Laut on the water, so be careful, use sandals or footwear is suggested.

Love this point. Preferable for camping, plenty toilets. Lovely sands and waves

Many good beach sorrounding here so you can choose or select some of them...

Visit this place about 5 years ago, and when I went there recently this place is significantly changed (and more crowded). But since they built a sunset/sunrise view spot, it's really something else. I think this place deserves to be one of "best beach" in Yogyakarta.

This beach offer a snorkeling services which is good for children. The sand is clean and quite white. Be sure to bring slipper.

best view...ever

Beautiful rocky beach with lots of potential. Bigger granule sands and quiet big waves. Not for swimming but lovely for walk and get you feet in the water. We saw crabs on the rocks which was cool. Lots of people taking pictures with photographer service. Pity we saw trash everywhere. Both tourists or locals should mind more to keep this beach clean.

Great spot, real small and limited beach, it's a cove. But has to be seen.

A beautiful beach that has combination between white sand, wooden bridge, white corals and pine trees. Id recommend you to visit this beach if you wanna liberate your mind from your daily routine cz the access to get here is pretty smooth *a bit rocky 100 meters before parking lot*

Nice photo spot when during low tide. Good to wade in the natural water pool with occasional waves 😅. Worth the visit with lots of rest place and eateries. Pack during weekends but still worth.

Love the beach. Clean, white sands and many coral cliff. I came at Ramadhan month so not many visitors here, some people came for fishing, you can buy the fish from them.

One of those newly-exposed beaches. Half way to reach the beach is paved street, the other half is still streen (or lane) with a lot of stones on it. The beach is not wide, but there are some villas overlooking the sea where you can stay the night. The parking area is not too wide as well. And there's only one or two food stalls if you want to eat/drink.

One of hidden beach in Gunungkidul. The beach is quite wide. For now it is like a private island because when i was there, there is no visitor except me and my husband. But soon it will become like a resort. I just don't like the road. But it is worth it tho.

the view of this hidden beach is not too bad, you can camping overnight here, but the access to the beach is seriously damaged

The street to get here is not easy, small rocky-street but when you touch the beach, it won't be regretted!

Build a tent in here and camp at night is so awesome! The local people are friendly. You won't get lost to find this spot.

So quiet peaceful place and refreshing, perfect place for camping. Get lost in nature with no connection from outside!

A bit adventurous access to reach the beach, but you won't be disappointed at the end.

This is kinda like a secret beach, but you need a little bit effort to go there

the beach is stunning with clear water and clean coral sand. it's popular for camping and has many photo spots due to rocky reefs. when i was there, it was low tide, so i can play by the shore and see small marine creatures. however, it's a bit challenging to reach the beach as you have to descend about 300 meters.

Woh Kudu beach is very beautiful, both the view and the sand of the beach, the journey there is also very challenging, after parking the motorbike or car, we have to hike along a quite exciting road for around 300 meters. But after that, our struggle will be rewarded with the beauty of Woh Kudu beach. We can also camp or just play in the sand and waves on the beach. highly recommended to visit.

This beach is seriously hidden, with a pretty challenging route to get there. You’ll need some solid driving and survival skills to make it safely. But it’s the perfect escape if you’re looking to disappear from all the city chaos for a while!

Its a pretty nice place, the beach i would say is very clean if compare to another popular beaches in Yogya. Had really great time in here. Had very fun, nice and memorable conversation aswell cuz we comin to this place in the morning of monday and there is no many people yet at that time, so we can enjoy our time. Note: will keep the pict that remind me of how great this beach is in this gmaps review hahah

The beach is nice and claiming. For those who dont really like to walk maybe need to skip this beach.... From parking lot to the beach u need to walk about 15min so old people and weak legged should not come here.

I'll probably recommend y'all to wear a comfy outfit and hiking shoes. A 300 meter-road is tremendously challenging. However, the view of Wohkudu Beach is kinda relaxing to be watched all day. Additional note: There was no signal.

Such a nice place to chill, but there's no signal because the beach is located in between the hills. And it needs some effort to go to the beach, you have to walk down for about 5-6 minutes.

The beach is located between Indrayanti (Pulang Syawal) and Watu Lawang. It has stunning view with white sand and small hill. Not too many tourists visit Tranggole beach because it's not as popular as Indrayanti although it is easy to access by car and motorbike or you can simply hike the small hill between Trenggole and Indrayanti. The facility is also complete; parking area, toilet, camping ground, and simple guest house. There is also small shop to buy snack, mineral water, instant noodle, coffee, tea, soft drink, etc. This beach is very recommended for everyone who likes enjoying beach without crowd, but not recommeded for swimming.

For the day i came there at april the high tide is at 11 AM. If the high tide comes, you can move to the upperside if you already paid the carpet rent fee. The beach itself is pretty rocky, the playground for children is pretty restricted. But the sand is quite nice.

This beach is not as big as other beaches in Gunung Kidul, and its not as crowded as other beaches too. The place is clean. Definitely worth the visit.

Secluded beach along the Gunungkidul Shoreline Perfect place to listen to the beach wave sound If u're looking for sunset, Best time to come is Jan-Feb

60km dari city center, worth it!

Private beach

Quite place to hangout with family

Watunene Beach it is located in GunungKidul district. It Is near South Mountain of Zeruni. The Place is calm, and clean beaches. The water is cool at 10 a.m. There are complate Food Stalls, but the parking area and toilets are still limited, because Watunene Beach is a new beach. I enjoy the fresh air and beatiful beach. I love its natural vibe. I think this beach is couples or bestfriend friendly who want to calm down. but i don't like this place because from the parking area to Watunene Beach we have to walk a few meters first, going down through a rocky path, so be careful! but trust me, Its Worth It guys 🙌

The beach which has many features and is far from the crowds makes this beach like a private beach

Quite beach, beautiful but there's no toilet here so u have to prepare for this

Private Beach ⛱️

Adore this beach. After difficult road, there was very beautiful beach.

Private place

bgs

underrated beach, pretty views, no crowds. would recommend it to people. need at least 5-10minutes walk from the parking lot

Calm beach. My friend and I went here on weekdays. It took around 15 minutes walking to get here from the parking place. This beach located betweeh Pantai Ngrumput and Pantai Drini

Beautiful, pristine and very quiet beach. Unfortunately there are a lot of litters scattered around just under the shades of trees so if you plan to sunbathe, beware of glasses, styrofoams, etc.

✨✨✨

nice place to go with your friends, many people come to camping with friends or community

Camping ground recommended

Private beach

The Water Castle is quite a small place compared to the Sultan’s Palace but still beautiful to visit with its pools and stone carvings. I can imagine it as a private residence for the Sultan it would have been very grand. Unfortunately, I feel the place could do with some investment to be restored better. Unlike the Sultan’s Palace, there is zero information or signage explaining about the purpose of the castle or functions of the rooms or places to go. I’d recommend to hire a guide to learn more- they are usually located inside the entrance in batik shirts with lanyards around their necks. The guys are friendly, kind and polite. Otherwise you’ll end up just aimlessly walking around the castle in 20 minutes and miss some places without any understanding of its history. Do explore around when you enter slowly as once you exit out you can’t come back in. Try to climb the tower to see the view from above. There is one air conditioned room with basic exhibits of the trade spices if you need to cool off. The castle is actually sprawled beyond the confines of the walls amongst the surrounding village with tunnels involved. But the tunnels have been closed to the public since Covid. Villagers will be hanging around the exit area to talk and offer guide advice and also coax to visit local batik and luak coffee shops as well as give a little sight seeing to bits of the castle walls that are still standing in the village. They are polite and not pushy or forceful. Overall a pleasant visit :) if you want less crowds come early. There are plenty of local eateries and fancy cafes around the main entrance if you fancy to have lunch before heading in :)

Pretty small garden and fountain area. It would definitely be a lot more enjoyable if staff would prevent people from pretending they own the place and doing their private photoshoots there, taking up spots for 15 minutes while the majority of people just want to take a quick picture. Also, it's sad to see people tag their names all over the walls and leave trash everywhere. Staff definitely don't upkeep the place enough or keep an eye on what people are doing...

Nice and quiet former royal gardens and baths of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. There are many beautiful details to see. The bathing complex is best preserved and has a tower from which the Sultan supposedly could observe the women bathing below. When I was there a guide kindly took me too four staircases via a sort of hidden route. Those staircases reminded me of the work by M. C. Escher. The four lower staircases represent the four main religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. From the the platform where they meet one staircase goes up to heaven where God rules over all.

It's quite busy, especially relatively big groups. 25k entry fee for a foreign adult ticket. It's nice to do when you've got some time to kill in Jogja, but not a must see.

A place to go. Yes full of tourists but if you imagine they may disappear, it makes you feel better

Getting a guide makes ALL the difference. They're cheap and incredibly knowledgeable. We would have missed the grounds outside of the immediate pool area if it weren't for the guide. Plus learned a lot about the city's rich history.

Pretty darn amazing. I am not one to normally hire a local to give me a private tour. Maybe I am too proud (or cheap) but I was reluctant to let some random guy off the street walk us through the water castle. Either way we did let him stick around and tell us the history (or his version of the history). I have to say it was a great decision to walk around with him. He had a plethora to say about each and every room and the rooms function. If he wasn't there I probably would have been guessing at each and every rooms intended role. The tour went easily over an hour and we saw several rooms I would not have seen unless we were following our guide. The craftsmanship and size of this place was impressive and I am glad we took the time to go out there. It's located a walking distance from the sultan's castle and both could easily be done in the same day. I would recommend coming out to see this.

If you’re looking for a hidden beach that’s still relatively quiet and untouched, Ngerawah might be the perfect escape. But getting there is a bit of an adventure, the road to the beach is quite extreme, especially after rain, so be careful and wear proper shoes

It was a good beach with peaceful and calm breeze. I think people hardly ever visit this place, so the nature still fresh

Beautiful scenery, something like private beach because the road kinda hard to explored

I suggest you to prepare walking around 800m from the parking lot and don't forget to bring Sandals because you may get in trouble with the sticky dirt. Nevertheless, the beach was clean and well maintained.

Unfamous beach! No human! Nice to set a camp here. We need to take a walk few kilometres to get here

Good places for relax 😆
