Guntur was one of the most active volcanoes in Java during the 1800's, but has not erupted since then. The crater is covered by forest and some fumaroles remain. Steam emitted from the area is utilized for electric power generation.

The eruptions of Guntur are generally accompanied by lava fountains, volcanic bombs, lapili and other ejected materials, followed by lava flows.
The low viscosity of the lava flows enable them flowing faster over its flank.
