Description:

Venture to the south shore of the island with a private guide to experience the coastal wonders Yogyakarta has to offer. See dramatic sand dunes and stunning beaches—and enjoy a delectable lunch at a fresh seafood market.

Begin with a short drive to Depok Beach—renowned for its lively fish market. Follow your local guide and explore the labyrinth of stalls selling some of the freshest seafood on the island. Be a part of the everyday life here and have a go at bartering for your lunch. Once you've picked your catch of the day, head to a nearby stall to have it cooked the way you like—steamed, grilled, or smoked—and enjoy the fresh flavors of the Indian Ocean.

Then drive past the spectacular sand dunes of Bantul, one of the only sandbanks in Southeast Asia. Stop for photo opportunities and learn how the desert was formed by the Mount Merapi volcano Mount Merapi.

Your next visit is to the burial site of Syekh Bela Belu, a place where locals pilgrimage. It is believed that by taking the 100 steps you encounter a sense of spirituality and repel evil spirits. Complete your coastal experience as you venture up to the rocky mountain that overlooks Parangtritis beach. Finally, enjoy panoramic views of the sun descending on golden sands, rugged cliffs, and the lapping waves of the Indian Ocean.
