" Cool pond, where we can swim with freshwater fish, very large. Can rent some snorkeling and diving equipment. Also available underwater photography where we can order fantastic items such as motorcycles for underwater photography. "

" review in English:
18 May 2018It's not sea.
Umbul Ponggok is kind of water park in the middle of rice field area, Klaten (Java Island).
Please don't judge by it's cover, if you just arrived there for your first time.
Why? cos You would be definitely disappointed. (People will think they will swim in the giant fish pond) but, do not stop there! You need to come into it, so that you can understand.
According to its history, the pool already exist from 'Dutch period' (colonial period) ...
It's water also comes from the pure water springs, not artificial.
Then how about the fish inside ? well yess, all fish already lives there from the beginning.. not deliberately placed into the pool.
(+) There is no odor of those fish, the water is so clear. You won't feel itchy swimming here! It's chlorine-free and free of other chem ..
You can having fun (feel freely inside pool), when morning to noon (8AM-11AM),
I suggested you to come when it's an ordinary day/ weekday (not Vacation time of Indonesia's people) you better to ask local community about this before you decided to come here..
Price? incredibly CHEAP ! (entrance fee $1 USD/ person, sure you need to pay in IDR 15000)
___every positive come with negative___
(-) The place is far from Yogyakarta (might takes 1-2 hours without traffic's issue),
Looks from the outside isn't cool at all (really look as artificial fish pond or pond in the middle of rice field),
Its slippery because of moss, so please b careful.
This pool are so shallow, (1.5-2 meter only).
For people who can't swim. It will be hard to take pictures.
From cheap to expensive. They will cost you more than $1 USD (entrance) if you want to take a pict under water (its sure our purpose to come here). $4 USD/unique photo 'SPOT' (IDR 50000)..
When there is too much people come here, it goin to be to crowded to get even only 1 great picture.
As foreign, you might have difficulties to communication with locals here...
So in the end, thankyou for read my opinion of Umbul Ponggok, Klaten.. I'm sorry if there is a lot of mistake (english grammar),
I hope this review helpful for all travelers having wonderful time in Indonesia 🇮🇩...

Review in Bahasa
Bukan laut.
Umbul Ponggok ada di tengah" persawahan daerah Klaten gengs, kl kalian baru sampe di sana dan cm ngeliat dari luarnya aj.. emng bakal kecewa (krn pikir akn berenang di kolam ikan) tapi, jangan smpe berhenti di sana yaa.. Kalian hrs masuk spy bisa mengerti.
Menurut sejarahnya, itu kolam udah ada dr zaman Belanda loh gengs.. air nya juga berasal dari mata air yang murni, bukan dgn sengaja di isi.. trs gmn dgn ikan" ny? ya, ikan nya juga udah aslinya di sana.. bukansengaja di masukin ke kolam, hha!
(+) ga ada bau" ikan yg amis gitu di sana, airnya jernih bgt, yg pst ga bikin badan gatal" karena bebas kaporit dan zat" kimia lain.. sepi, leluasa banget ketika? pagi-siang, hari biasa.. atauawal" bulan puasa.harganya?murah !(tiket masuk 15.000 rupiah/org)
(-) tempatnya jauuh dari pusat" kota, tampak luar gak keren sama sekali (bnr" kyk kolam ikan or empang tengah sawah), liciin krn lumut, airnya dangkal (1-2 meter doang).
Kl yg ga bisa berenang sulit utk berfoto.MAHAL, kok mahal?iya.. utk foto sekitar 40-50ribu/ spot.. kalo yang suka foto (mau di semua spot, yaa jd mahal) hhe.. kalo lg ramai, foto bakal kena bnyk kaki orang..
oke, kira" gitu review dr gw.. semoga bermanfaat 🙏

" Fresh and clean spring water to swim with fishes.
26 April 2018I couldn't get enough of it.
There is inflatable warrior challenge for kids.
But the most interesting thing to do here is taking underwater pictures, so many beautiful spot with various props, you could rent just the camera or ask the staff to take your picture, different price of course, but that's all worth it, they are super patient and they know what they're doing.
Be careful if you're coming with children, the pool is pretty deep at some place, starts from 2 meters in depth. Get some life vest for the kids, they have good price for safety equipment. Can't wait to go there another time! 😉 "

" The under water photo shooting was an amazing experience. The price was great while the photographers were very patient and helpful. "

" A spring with a clear water. You can diving or snorkeling here with various of fish. You can find some Koi here also others carp.
14 March 2018There is a snorkeling stall that rent fin, life vest, snorkel and mask. A bathroom also mushola are available here. Water arena also available here.
FYI, the entrance ticket is double at holiday. At weekdays is 15K and holiday is 30K (@March 2018). "
Anynomous
" An amazing water park, never get tired to try this place again and again. The entry ticket is so cheap and they will give you a kinda snack. Need to pay if u want to rent a life vest and goggles. You can take pictures under the water by urself or hiring a professional photographer and they will provide u some stuffs. The food is also good. "

" Clean spring which turned into swimming pool by the local people. You can swim with beautiful and colourful fishes. The water is so deep, so if you are someone who can not swim well, you can rent a life jacket in affordable price.
07 March 2018This place still needs a lot of improvements. The employees aren't seem friendly, the place is dirty when crowded. The toilets fee is not included in the ticket, so you should pay separately.
But for the cheap affordable price, it is worth it.
You can also take a photo using underwater camera (they rent it too, also the photographer). "
Anynomous
" If you wish to have a great underwater photos, you must get there early morning as you need the bright sunlight penetration. You can rent a waterproof camera to take pictures yourself or ask them to take it for you (recommended). The props are not free of charge! The price varies from 5k rupiah to 35k rupiah depend on prop.
05 March 2018This park opens at 8pm and closes around 4pm. If you're not a good swimmer, you should get a life vest because the depth is estimated to be around 2 meters.
Important note to those who wanted to perform wall climbing at the bouncy castle (Ponggok Warrior). Make sure you climb to the top from the less steep side first to check all the hand grips are in correct place, especially the last one. If it's not, you're most certainly gonna be terribly disappointed seeing the hand grip is out of your reach. Besides, this thing is exhausting. Make sure you have sufficient energy before even try it.
Last but not least, you absolutely must have this place on your bucket list. But be mindful that the full package is not cheap but affordable. Go for it if you have extra bucks. Anyway, if you're out of budget for all the additional cool stuffs, the entrance fee is only 15k rupiah per person and you can still enjoy swimming around with the fishes. "

" I really enjoy when I was my holiday in here. Ticket enterence so cheap and you can call profesional photografer if you want take best picture underwater. The cost is 120k/hour (I forgot). "

" It's a wonderful crystal clear natural spring water playground with lots of activities you can do. Snorkeling, diving, underwater walking, swimming and take lots of selfies. The fishes are the ornaments of this pool. The prices are cheap, but better come on weekdays, cause weekends could be very crowded. "

" Good place to swim and see underwater creatures. You need to pay a rent to get the googles, life jacket, and any other stuff. "

" For IDR 15K per entry, I enjoyed every single spot in here. The pool and gazebo are clean, and the food is affordable since most of the warung sell snack and simple food. It's better to bring your own underwater camera because the view is well worth to visit. "

" Just an hour away from Jogja, it is the right place for making a good underwater pictures. Clear water, hundred fishes and bright sunshine is what you'll find here. To go on weekdays is a better idea to avoid the crowd. "

" Swimming with fish in a natural spring water? You can do it here. This place is managed by the locals and it has great management. They also rent floaties, life vest, fins, snorkel, even scuba equipments. The pond is quite large with average depth of 2.5m. The water is crystal clear, and non-chlorinated. There are food stalls around the pond and are very cheap if you wanna grab a meal. Down side is that people don't always wear swimming suit. You can also take unique underwater shots. Entrance ticket is Rp. 15,000.00 / person. "

" You pay entrance fee and you get snack as ticket, very creative! Came here during the holiday and it was very crowded. Children loved to swim here though, fresh water pool and a lot of fishes there. But what made us came is actually not only the spring water pool, but under water picture taking with so many settings, even you can take pictures with motorbike underwater! "

For bathroom, you have to pay idr 2k-3k for shower or idr 1k for changing clothes.

" The water is crystel clear. The fishe's are beautiful. But for me it was not really interesting. The water is only about 2 meters deep.... and everywhere are ugly fences inside the water. They might be good for non- swimmers. But they destroy the nice underwaterphotos. I would not go there again. "
05 September 2016Cahyo Purnomo
" A perfect place for snorkeling and diving! The entrance fee is quite affordable by Indonesian standard while the water is cold, crystal clear and quite deep. A professional underwater photo service is available where you can take many wonderful pics with many beautiful fishes swim around. The location is a small village which is not far from city center makes this place too good to miss. I really want to go back to this place at a low season to really enjoy the whole thing "

" Another great place, 1 hour drive from Jogjakarta city center, located near Klaten county.
01 July 2016You can have underwater photos (with the fishes) taken by photographer; they charge ½ hour @ Rp. 60.000 or 1 hour @ Rp. 100.000,- or you can wear a helmet @ Rp. 200.000,- per-person.
Be careful when you are offered to use additional property for photo session, make sure you ask the price before hand. "

" Very good place to swim! Many fishes and THE WATER IS SO CLEAR. Entrance Rp 8000 but if you want to rent swimming equipment add around Rp 20k. There is also camera rent if you dont bring one. Parking for motorcycle mostly, i didnt see any carpark. Dont worry about food, this place is surrounded by them. "
