Summary:
Wonderful day! Couldn’t recommend it enough and it was my favourite activity during my stay in Bogor. On the way visited a traditional visit and saw how nutmeg was processed, then we started a 2 x hour rainforest hike to Mount Salak (and crater), and also got a chance to swim in the hot springs.
On the way back, we had some lunch in the village and then made our way to the pick up place.
My guide was attentive and kept me safe on the slippy walk through the forest.

On this One Day Tour you’ll explore an active volcano crater up close - walking inside the crater to see bubbling cold lava, smoked gases, and sulphur vents. You'll trek across an extreme lava floor, enjoy sweeping panoramic landscapes and a unique white-and-turquoise river, then combine the experience with jungle trekking through the surrounding rainforest and finish by visiting a natural waterfall where you can swim and refresh your body.
Yes - after the challenging hike you’ll visit and can swim in a beautiful natural waterfall. Swimming here is described as refreshing and rejuvenating, helping you feel ‘reborn’ after the strenuous outdoor activities.
The experience suits travelers who enjoy Outdoor & Nature and Adventure & Thrill activities; however, because the trek and crater exploration are physically demanding and include rough terrain, Group-Friendly or family bookings should consider participants’ fitness levels and the recommended health precautions before booking.
The hike is challenging: you’ll trek in wet, muddy, and tough jungle terrain to reach the crater located in the middle of the forest. Expect an adrenaline-raising, physically demanding route across uneven ground and lava surfaces, suitable for those prepared for a rugged adventure.
You should be aware that the tour involves exposure to smoked gases and sulphur near the crater and a demanding rainforest hike. It is not recommended for pregnant travelers, people with spinal injuries, or those with poor cardiovascular health. The trail conditions can be muddy and slippery, so proper caution is needed.
The tour provides private transportation and on-route comforts such as bottled water and necessary facility fees covered. You’ll be transported in an air-conditioned vehicle, with fuel and parking taken care of, so you can focus on the volcano, rainforest trek, and waterfall swim.
