In the early morning at 6:00 AM, your driver will pick you up from your hotel in Jakarta. From there, embark on a 3-hour journey to the west coast of Carita beach.

Upon arrival at Krakatoa, begin your ascent of the volcano's child, which typically takes around an hour. The scenery is breathtaking, featuring pristine seas, lush green vegetation, and striking red volcanic rocks cascading into the ocean from the crater.
The trek itself is relatively easy, starting in dense, healthy jungle before transitioning to volcanic ash slopes. After descending, return to the boat for your next destination.
