Timang Beach

We spent wonderful moments here, I took so many photos and video. They know how to run this business, first ask you took a jeep (350,000 rupiah) to the edge, so you need to pay the jeep owner, once you here, you need to pay another ticket to take the rope car. 200,000 rupiah per head go by rope, if cross by drawbridge is 150,000 rupiah, but if you want to cross by drawbridge and return by rope car, sorry, will cost you 350,000 rupiah. Haha, genius. But it's a nice experience, memorable holiday.

Beautiful ocean. You can try their gondola ride here. Need to pay for jeep to this destination cause no car can go to this location. And also need to pay for walking bridge and the gondola ride.

1 of my bucket list in jogja, taking jeep ride going to the beach is extremely fun and also bumpy ride. The guide brought us was very helpful and nice. The cost of gondola is 200k rupiah per pax, we came at around 4pm least crowd. Recommended to take the tour

Loved this place! So beautiful. Had to take a bumpy jeep ride up but it was so worth it. There were 2 options to get over to the island - one via gondola (200,000) and another via bridge (100,000). You have to choose either one. If you decided to go with gondola and come back via bridge, you need to pay for both (300,000) as they were managed by different companies. Go for the gondola I'd say as it's something special. Not as scary as I thought. Enjoyed it way more than expected. It was manual but very fun! The rope looks very new too - was told that they replace the rope for the gondola every month/every other month. There were a lot of spots to take nice pictures as well given such a small island it is. There will also be people helping you take very nice pictures - please remember to tip them :)

Timang Beach as a tourist attraction is very subjective. You come to Timang Beach for two reasons only; the views and the gondola. The views are quite stunning. The gondola is a little wooden carriage that fits two people and are pulled back and forth between the beach and the rock by hand and ropes while being suspended above the gorgeous but wavy waters below. Plenty of Instagram photo opportunities here to be had. The thrill of being suspended by rope above the waves is something to be experienced. Some people would find this scary or exciting. However, they have installed a safety net below the gondola which in my opinion takes away from the thrill. But safety first. If you're not comfortable riding the gondola, you can still cross the water by way of a rope bridge. Now, the prices need to be discussed. You cannot/are not allowed to drive your own vehicle to the beach. I had come to expect that as I have already read about it. I was stopped at the gate well before the beach. The local there told me I could not drive my vehicle in but offered to take me there and back in his Jeep. He gave me the price of 350,000 IDR because I'm a foreigner which I think is very steep. I complained about the price and he reduced it to 300,000. He did clarify later though that the price is per car load and since I was traveling alone I paid the full price. And I found out later that you would not want to drive your own vehicle on the road that takes you to the beach. It's treacherous. For an added value I guess, passengers are allowed to stand on the rear seats of the vehicles while being transported on the rocky road. Once you get to the beach, you have two options to get across to the rock and back. By gondola which cost 200,000 (return trip) or by the rope bridge which costs money as well. You have the option to ride the gondola going one way and cross the rope bridge the other way but they are ran by two different companies so you'd have to pay them both was what I understood. Was it worth it? I would have to say yes because I was mainly in it for the views and the photos but the gondola was not as exciting as I expected it to be. The gondola ride across takes only about 30 seconds. Again, I found the Jeep ride to be quite costly for this trip.
