Entrance Information
An entry to the public area cost each person IDR15,000 (<USD1.50). A four-wheels vehicle entry costs IDR13,000 (~USD1.00). This entry fee entitles access to the public area. During the weekends, it is usual for the locals and tourists to throng the area. For a more organic experience, you can head down to one of the natural waterfalls for a shower. However, the public area is usually too crowded for those who are seeking a more private and intimate experience. By paying IDR29,000 (<USD2.50), you can access the semi-private pool that is generally less crowded than the public area. By paying additional IDR7,000 (<USD1.00), you get to enjoy a 30-minute fully private hot spring bath (2 persons per bathroom).

Recommended Gear
Bodywear - casual t-shirt with bermuda. Footwear - rubber slippers is always better. During rainy periods, trekking path can get wet and slippery. Shower gear - if you have no intention to access the private bath pool, it is recommended that you bring your own set of shower gear (towel, shampoo and body soap). Access to the private bath pool includes towel and body soap. A face-towel would be handy to have.
