The last explosion was in 1883 in which, based on trusted source, the explosion had killed almost 36.000 life. What people see today is the “child” of the mountain itself, because the 1883 last explosion had destroyed its main mountain. If you come from Java, you can reach this mountain by getting to the ferry boat from Merak to Baka Heni. The fee of ferry boat is only IDR 18.000. When you have arrived at Bakau Heni port, you can rent a public transportation that will pick you up to Canti small port, it is around IDR 300.000/group and 1 group consists of 6 persons at the maximum standard.
