Set out from your Yogyakarta hotel at 2:30 pm with a private driver, then explore Prambanan with temple guidance before an evening Ramayana Ballet. Wahyu or Iskandar may handle your trip. Ballet seats cost extra, sell quickly, and may be outdoors at Prambanan or indoors in Yogyakarta.

“The performance is very impressive. The setting is beautiful. The tour guide is great, but there is an additional cost to enter the temple and the performance. If you buy Class 1 or Class 2 seats for the ballet, bring your own cushions.”
