About Pindul Cave

Pindul Cave (Goa Pindul) opened as a tourist site in October 2010. The 350-meter horizontal cave features an underground river sourced from the Gedong Tujuh Spring. The water flows year-round and ranges from 5 to 12 meters deep.

Visitors explore the cave by floating on rubber inner tubes. You pass through three specific lighting zones: light, dusk, and dark. Packing Guide details the essential gear you need for this wet environment.

Most travelers combine Pindul Cave with nearby attractions. Options include extending the float down the open-air Oyo River Tubing or visiting the vertical sinkhole of Jomblang Cave on the same day.

My guide Rio was outstanding and great company for the trip. The cave was very memorable and i felt very safe being lowered into the cavern. The tubing was very relaxing and a great way to cool off.

Great day out. Irfan, my driver, was really helpful and made the whole experience seamless, driving me from activity to activity in a comfortable private car. It was a cloudy day so I couldn't see the sunrise at Mt Merapi. I'd recommend checking the forecast in advance. Jomblang and pindul were both fantastic

We had a very nice day trip! Our driver Ganjar was extremely nice and helpful. We have talked for the entire time about the most interesting topics, which made the trip even better!

Our guide Bima was fantastic. His communication and attention to detail made the day run smoothly from start to finish. He was very friendly and gave us lots of information about our surroundings. He also took some amazing photos and videos of us doing the activities. It was more like travelling with a friend than a guide. The activities were lots of fun and I would recommend this day trip to anyone.

Maxi was excellent! He was timely, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and went the extra length to make our day great. He had a positive attitude and so much enthusiasm from the start through the end. The cave and river tubing were worth it and a highlight of our trip to Jogja. Definitely bring a change of clothes, and it’s okay to wear shorts for women. River shoes can be provided for tubing.

I booked a shared drive but it turned out to be a private tour without any extra surcharges.

It was a very nice experience to climb down the cave. Such a unique place! We had the lovely driver named Eko, who told a lot about living in Indonesia and gave other ideas for activities.

Great experience exploring 2 caves & tubing. I'm scared of heights but the crew made me & my partner feel safe. Our driver, Aan, was very professional & friendly.
