5.00A really great experience! The landscape is absolutely stunning. We truly appreciated the kindness of our guide, Moury, and our driver, Fani — both were incredibly helpful and made the experience even more enjoyable. Some parts of the path were a bit challenging, but definitely worth it.
Beautiful waterfall!

5.00One of the prettiest waterfalls in Indonesia! About 2 hours from Malang Center, it is a world apart, with water cascading, lush plants, and amazing views. It is a steep climb down to the bottom and back up, wear good water shoes.
So fun

5.00Such a fun adventurous tour, our driver/ guide Setiawan was lovely and showed us all the best spots for photos. Make sure to bring grippy wet shoes as you’ll be scrambling up waterfalls! And leave your bag in the car, it’ll only get soaked!
Excellent adventure

5.00We had a wonderful day with Fani! He was very attentive throughout the excursion. He took us to non-touristy places, which was really nice. We had an unforgettable time! Go for it! You won't regret it!
