In this vlog, I take you on a unique journey to Tangkuban Perahu, a famous volcanic site near Bandung, Indonesia, where we explore the sulphur hot springs and experience an unexpected volcanic sulphur massage. Starting with a scenic drive through rural Indonesia, we arrive at the volcano and are met with the surprising difference in ticket prices for foreigners. After a brief concern about the potential dangers of sulphur exposure, we dive deeper into the area, exploring the local culture, from bartering with fruit sellers to negotiating for a beautiful Batik wood vase.
As we wander off the beaten path, we venture to a second, lesser-known sulphur hot spring. What started as a relaxing exploration quickly turns into a surprising experience when we are offered a volcanic sulphur massage. Was it a scam or an authentic spa experience? You’ll have to watch to find out! Along the way, we also encounter some unexpected disappointments, including a closed zipline and a few other hiccups, but we make the most of our time by visiting the Bandung Botanical Garden and even playing a round of mini-golf with our driver.
This video showcases not just the beauty of Bandung’s volcanic landscapes, but also its vibrant culture and local quirks. Perfect for those interested in volcanic massages, sulphur hot springs, or simply exploring the hidden gems of Bandung, Indonesia.

Last month my friends from french went to Bandung and they want me tontake them to that volcano i said no because i know that thing will happened, so i decided to take them to the sounth better view and fair price
Local people get scammed too. It's a shame. You should go to Bromo in East Java. Then to Kawah Putih in West Java.
PENIPUAN,,ITU SANGAT MEMALUKAN..DI JAWA BANYAK PENIPU HATI HATI..
Lebih baik ke tempat wisata yang banyak turis asingnya saja,seperti bunaken atau labuan bajo.
Supaya tidak dimanfaatkan oleh orang orang yang mengambil untung banyak terhadap bule/turis asing.
Nanti ke ciletuh ,sukabmi pengunungan Air panas n ke gioprak Pantai nya indah
can't say disagree with you mate, not just foreigner, even local(from other city) treated the same way, i was felt being scammed that day in 1st time, the 2nd time luckily i was with police officer(best friend of mine) and they just didn't come closer like 1st time😅
Sedih sih mereka mamatikan pendapatan mereka sendiri kelak…dan itu akan terus berlanjut jika tidak ada yg mengarahkan ataupun menghentikan kegiatan seperti itu…😮💨😮💨😮💨
Cara memperlakukan pengunjung seperti itu hanya membuat citra pariwisata Jabar menjadi buruk. Ingat sekarang jaman medsos sekali aja anda membuat tourist merasa ditipu…yg melihat tayangan ini banyak sekali dan akan membuat anda susah mencari rejeki…karena mereka takut seperti itu
intimidasi, memang harus berani sih
If i can give you some advices, next time you came to Indonesia avoid tourist attraction in any of West Java, instead just go running around the city, try the foods, the cultures, etc. Not only to foreigners they also scammed the locals, it's already an open secret.
Saya minta tolong pada dinas pariwisata bandung tolong di tindak secara tegas penipu seperti ini sangat memalukan, ini bukan pertama kali, salam waras
°Keren 🇮🇩👍
ini pemkab setempat kok diam saja ya dng persitiwa semacam ini!!bukan hanya youtuber ini saja yg sudah mengeluh soal ini. dulu sudah sempat ada youtuber lain juga mengeluh hal yang sama dengan kasus penipuan semacam ini di tempat yang sama pula ini sungguh miris😢
Saya warga Jabar saja malas ke Tangkuban Perahu dan wisata di Jabar, banyak pungli/preman meras Dinas Pariwisata Jabar tolonglah tata kembali Dazal² ini
Anjay yang jual strawberry matok harga fuck banget, malu maneh pak di tonton umum
Next sebelum membeli sebaiknya tanyakan harga terlebih dulu mister
Penjual Pohon batik sadis juga ya tahu itu bule tapi lihat pula kalau bule ini sudah paham harga di Indonesia
Lebih sadis pijat diminta 250 tanpa kasih harga terlebih dulu, besar kemungkinan pemadu wisata kerja sama dengan tukang pijat, heran padahal foreigner menanyakan harga tapi tidak di respon
Hati² mister tempat wisata di Jabar/West Java banyak pungli
Wahai pengelola wisata Tangkuban Perahu buta, bisukah sudah sering banyak komplain dari wisatawan lokal dan luar negeri…
love your vids oli keep it up ! (pls go back to japan)
The Batik motif wooden handicraft looks lovely. There's also Batik motif clothing that you can buy at the local shop
Warga lokal bodoh…perusak pariwisata …harga yang tidak masuk di akal…orang-orang akan malas memakai jasa kalian
Guide juga bodoh tidak menyampaikan sebelumnya…mungkin mereka kerjasama
the scenary is amazing still :top
I was born in Bandung. I'm so ashamed of what those people did to you @oli Barrett travel They're looking for money in a dirty way, Authorities should pay attention to this.😮😢
Man That's is a Boo O of Sulfe 👈🏻
Some prices there are unreasonable for tourists, from entrance fees to souvenirs; it feels like draining the customers' wallets. For example, strawberries, you could get them for 15k-25k if they set a normal price 'depending on the quality of the product.' The proof is that at the end of the bargaining, they are willing to give you 2 box of strawberries. I understand they need money to feed their families, but wouldn’t it be better to set normal prices?
This might attract more buyers than setting selfish prices.
Bro go to subang city😊
Ahhh
Next time go to Mount bromo in Java 🇮🇩
Every country has scamm everywhere so be aware about those issues
Turis neo nazi zio
Saya mengecam keras bagi para ognum ognum yg mematok harga mahal dan suka menipu wisatawan wisatawan yg berkunjung .karna itu semua hanya akan membawa citra jelek bagi bangsa indonesia.🙏🙏
Hi Dude try also come to visit KAWAH PUTIH ( White Crater ) its Vast Sulfur Lake with the blue green tosca color , its amazing view , you can feel like the other planet and CIWIDEY with vast tea plantation located around 25 km southern part of Bandung
And in Bandung city try come visit Braga street and Asia Afrika street,
Pemda Jabar khusus bag pariwisata kok diem saja banyak penipuan / Scam di tangkuban perahu,..! Ridwan kamil semoga liat video ini,..!!
seperti biasa, tangkuban perahu punglinya banyak, sangat tidak direkomendasiin buat wisatawan mancanegara, dan maaf tangkuban perahu itu masuk kawasan subang, bukan Bandung
Jabar memang tdk ramah wisatawan banyak ucing geuring,tukang palak,pungli dan tiket tempat wisata mahal2.
Beranikah And datang ke gunung api Merapi di Jogjakarta?
Very very aktif n dengerous
Jangankan buat turis manca negara,turus lokal saja sering kena peras kalau masuk kawasan wisata
