Description
Trek through Mount Merapi National Park and raft down the Elo River on a guided tour from Yogyakarta. Enjoy stunning views, spot rare Javanese Eagles, and feel the thrill of the rapids.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in the morning. Head to Mount Merapi National Park, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of the world’s most active volcano.
Enjoy the fresh morning air, beautiful nature, and friendly locals going about their daily activities. Then, start your light trek, walking along a scenic path between green valleys.
The trek covers a distance of about 3 km with a travel time of about 1 hour and an elevation of only 400 meters, making it suitable for all ages. Behind you, enjoy views of the city of Yogyakarta from a distance, and right in front of you, Mount Merapi stands majestically.
The track is divided into 4 rest stops, and here is home to 7 “Javanese Eagles.” This endemic bird is a symbol of Indonesia, with only 1,000 remaining on the entire island of Java today. If you’re lucky, you may also encounter this bird hunting its prey.
After completing the trek and taking photos at several spots, make your way to the Elo River for an exciting rafting adventure. Navigate through the rapids, soak in the breathtaking natural scenery, and feel the thrill of the water.
Once your rafting experience concludes, take a moment to freshen up and savor a local meal (optional). Then, relax on your journey back to Yogyakarta, where your driver will ensure a safe return to your accommodation.
