- Ciwidey - After breakfast, depart at 8:00 AM to Ciwidey. We’ll stop to enjoy the countryside panorama, take a short walk to the terraced rice fields, visit a local village, see an old train bridge, and have a coffee break at a Luwak home industry, known for its expensive coffee processed through civet cats (optional, depending on time constraints). Then, continue driving to the White Crater.
- White Crater - At Kawah Putih, we’ll start with a hike to the viewpoint through the Patuha forest and explore the surroundings, including Sunan Ibu, Patuatea plantation, and the tea worker village. Then, visit Kawah Putih lake up close (7.10° S 107.24° E), one of the two craters of Mount Patuha, an andesitic stratovolcano. Mount Patuha is one of many volcanoes in Java. Drive back to the parking area for lunch.
- Tea Country, PTPN 8 - After lunch, continue driving to Rancabali and stop at the Rancabali Tea Plantation. Here, we’ll take a short walk through the plantation, enjoy the beautiful surrounding panorama, take some nice pictures, and then continue walking to Rengganis Crater.
- Rengganis Crater - Rengganis Crater is one of the most interesting craters in the south of Bandung. This narrow river valley steams and bubbles with volcanic activity. Locals have created artificial ponds near thermal springs of varying temperatures, some with bamboo pipes for a hot “shower.” The newest and largest of these pools, which is also the most accessible, is heart-shaped. Pools of warm mud offer the opportunity for a mud spa, touted to have medicinal benefits for your skin. Relax and enjoy the hot springs, then drive back to the hotel.

What a wonderful day! - We had a wonderful day with Dani and the driver Mameth.
Dani told us everything about Java. He knows a lot about nature. He showed us really nice places to learn everything there is to know about Indonesia.
He showed us rice fields, the kawah putih from many different ankles and we walked through a tea Plantage!
We came on places where no other tourist were, because Dani knows all the best places.
After a good lunch we went to the hot Springs. Here Dani made a lot of nice pictures and films from us.
On the way back we had so much fun with Dani! He is a very good guide, but also very funny!
Dani: Thanks for the wonderful day, we will never forget!

Great day trip with excellent company - We are a family with two young children and were picked up by Umien and a driver in the morning at the hotel to start the day trip. Umien speaks good English and since he is from the region, he also knows a lot to report. He told us about the history, the culture and the places he visited on the way. It never seemed rattled down or intrusive, but adapted the way we wanted it.
He was also considerate of the children, so we took enough breaks or he informed us what to do next so that we could adjust to it as a family.
The individual stations were also very worth seeing:
Kawah Putih was of course the highlight of the tour. Not only did he drive us to the crater, but we hiked up a nearby hill from which we had a great view. Bandung and its surroundings are generally a bit cooler than Jakarta and the rest of Java, so you can also hike a bit without breaking a sweat.
He then led us past a tea plantation where there were no other tourists, and we walked with the children through a kind of labyrinth of tea bushes, which the children thought was cool.
With the hot springs, I was skeptical at first because I read different reviews, but we all loved it there. As a woman, I would perhaps take a T-shirt or swim shirt with me, as there are more local tourists than Western tourists in the place, but is not a must. I don't want to give too much away, but it's worth it.
Overall, it was a very nice and successful day at an absolutely fair price.
We would book a tour anytime again with Umien and his agency.
Highly recommended.

If you want a great day with a good guide and good driver - Review Dani and Odi. Dani is a fine and nice guide. He tells you a lott about everything along the road and shows you the most nice places were not a lott of toerist come. Odi is a good driver and a nice men to talk to. Tet both have humor and we laught a lot together. We recommend them both, again thanks for the lovely day. Eugemiek and Paul.

Excellent Tour With Excellent Guides - We spent the day with Jonny & Asep and we had an absolutly fantastic day trip. Jonny was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and the locations we visited. Asep was a brilliant driver and Co-host and an absolute gentleman. They took us to a couple of other locations on the way to the main attraction for the tour which was great. We stopped by rice fields, bamboo production area, an amazing coffee shop and all before we had even got into the main part of the tour. We learned a lot about the above topics and Indonesian culture in general and came away feeling well rewarded a d with amazing photos. Then as we got into the tour Jonny took us around tea plantations carefully explaining the harvestung procedures and then took us through an almost secret jungle path up to a viewpoint of the magnificent kawah putih crater lake for some stunning views. After this we went down to the lake for more pictures and we at no point felt rushed as he was very patient while I was using my camera and drone. We stopped for lunch at one of the local vendors and had some great Indonesian food, some of the best so far! Belly's full we went for a quick stroll through another tea plantation which was completely different from the previous one and gained more stunning photographs. Meanwhile Asep was driving to convenient meeting ponts so we never once backtracked through the tour. We finally went to our final destination and explored the hot springs and again Jonny was very knowledgeable and allowed us time to explore the area again with no pressure.
We ended up on the tour with just myself and my partner and we were expecting a small group at least so to get this as a private tour was exceptional value for money and I can't recommend this tour enough. Jonny and Asep were true gents and excellent tour guides, probably the best we have ever had to be honest.
A huge thank you to them both 🙏

Well guided and organized excursions - It was a memorable day with our guide and driver. We visited the beautiful volcanic mountain and lake of Kawah Putih. Then we went to walk into a rice field, followed by Indonesian coffee degustation. It was a beautiful day and guided by a warm guide, which I forgot the name…..
