2.Active Volcano, Rice Field, Hot Spring, Fruit market, Tea Plantation with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 513 reviews · from $110Top rated

Travel from Jakarta into West Java with an English-speaking guide such as Bryan, Rizky, Vincent, or Mitchell. Visit Tangkuban Perahu Volcano, taste four local fruits, see rice fields and tea farms, eat Sundanese food, and soak at Ciater Hot Spring. The capped group has no more than 10 people, with transport, admissions, lunch, and water included.

“Overall great even though there were hiccup and delays due to cockroaches in the car. A suggestion - Many of Viator visit plans are for minimum 2 people. If you are on business trip and want to go for a trip during a break day, that does not work. Suggest to support Solo travellers too. Shared bus for travel is fine in South east asia too.”
