It was a very lovely experience! We learnt a lot about coffee and it’s process from the plant up to the cup of coffee. We could roast our own coffee beans with the traditional method, which was really fun. And the host family is so kind! A must do trip to do if you are visiting Jogja!!!

Pak Krishna was our driver - picked us up on time, drove efficiently, felt safe, car was very clean. The cost per person may seem high, but it includes the Borobudur and Prambanan tickets (about $100 each) so it’s actually quite a bargain! We liked how we could take as much - or as little - time as we wanted. Lunch was also a lot better than I expected … we could order whatever we wanted from the menu and all included in the price.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver picked us up right on time and the ride was very pleasant. Upon arrival at the plantation, we received a warm and heartfelt welcome from the owner and her team, which immediately made us feel at home. After enjoying a welcome drink, we had the unique opportunity to plant our very own coffee tree, which will begin to bear fruit in about three years. We then picked ripe red coffee cherries and learned so much about the coffee plant and its fruits. Later, we roasted the dried beans over the fire and ground them ourselves – such a fun and authentic process! After that we were brewing and enjoying our very own coffee, accompanied by some delicious local snacks. Throughout the visit, the entire team was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all our questions and share their passion for coffee. We truly enjoyed every single minute of this unforgettable experience and left with a deep appreciation for the effort and love that goes into coffee production. This was a one-of-a-kind experience, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Yogyakarta!

We loved our experience from start to finish, it was super convenient being picked up and dropped off by our accommodation. When we arrived there was welcome drinks and a friendly welcome. They explained there would be a translator helping us there to explain what we are doing and to also answer our questions. We got first hands experience at picking and identifying ripe coffee cherries, we were shown both Arabica and Robusta plants (they farmed robusta here). Including using a handmade basket and talked through the picking process. We got to see some of the sorting process and the traditional roasting and grinding process, again getting hands on experience with both. It was very educational and fun to be a part of it. We even got to brew and taste our coffee at the end with some traditional Indonesian snacks. We also hiked a steep hill (very short but steep) to plant a coffee plant each, where we got our picture taken and named the two trees. The coffee was delicious and I was very happy to be a part of this experience. A big thank you to Reni Andre, Intan Kusuma and Mbak Mar

Timang Beach FAQs

Where are the best things to do in Timang Beach?

Timang Beach is a wild, rocky part of Yogyakarta’s south coast, known for its huge waves and dramatic cliffs. The main attraction is the old hand-pulled gondola that locals once used to reach a tiny offshore islet to catch lobsters. Today, you can ride it yourself, or take the suspension bridge for an easier crossing.

Afterwards, walk along the cliffs for amazing views and try freshly grilled lobster from local fishermen. It’s not a soft-sand swimming beach, but it’s one of the most unique and adventurous spots in the area.
