Things to do in Borobudur, Java: The Best Archaeology Tours

June 19, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Organized tours via air can be booked with Balinese tour operators.

I looked hard for this specific tour as it included the Borobudur sunrise along with Prambanan temple, but it also included Candi Mendut. We were picked up at 3:30 AM by Anang. Anang was a courteous, careful driver who spoke passable English and I was immediately comfortable with him. Anang was the main reason I really enjoyed this trip. We arrived at the Manohara restaurant where he offered us an English speaking guide. My daughter and I wanted a very quiet experience so I hesitated Unfortunately there were no guides left when I decided to get one, but Anang saved us a great deal of time by walking us to the temple entrance and showing us a great place to sit at the top. The sunrise was stunning. The way the sun glowed off the structures within the temple and through the fog surrounding the temple made the experience unforgettable, and well worth the 3:30 AM pickup. We then toured the ship museum and saw the full size Samudraraska ship (well with the small amount of extra money). We then ate a nice breakfast in the restaurant. We drove to two smaller temples including Candi Mendut. Though smaller, this temple was quite pretty. As a bonus, we met a puppet maker (one of the true local skilled craftsmen) and visited a Kopi Luwak coffee producer where we had a quite delightful cup of coffee and met an actual civit. We then visited the Prambanan temples complex. Our English speaking guide was Harris. Harris was amazing, both in his enthusiasm and in his knowledge of the temples. Harris was definitely the second reason I enjoyed the trip as much as I did. He was able to tell us about each of the statues inside the temples and even related the story of Rama and the monkey king carved into the stone of the Main temple. Prambanan was an amazing sight and an important part of the Javan heritage. We returned to the hotel (in Yogyakarta) around 2 PM. It was a very pleasant day and I felt like all my expectations had been fully realized. Thank you Anang and Harris

I went on the cycling tour with the batik course....it ended up being my favorite day in Java!!! So refreshing to see another side of the island, it almost felt like a behind the scenes look at local life. Words can't express how amazing it was to get out of the city and into the beautiful countryside! The best part was Tari the tour guide, she was outstanding, best guide by far that I had in Java!!! Even though I was by myself, we had a great time the whole day, lots to talk about and lots of laughing. I was actually sad to part ways at the end of the day. I'll never forget this experience or the people I was lucky enough to meet! I only wish I found them earlier and could have done more adventures with them. Do this tour! You won't regret it.
