Overview

Surabaya is a key starting point for exploring some of East Java’s most notable natural landmarks. This four-day, three-night tour covers Mount Bromo, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, and Ijen Crater, offering a compact itinerary that fits a short holiday. Transportation with air conditioning is provided throughout the tour, along with breakfast each day. The trip includes one night’s accommodation near Mount Bromo, another at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, and a third near Banyuwangi close to Ijen Crater. A private English-speaking guide leads the tour for the full duration. Costs for visiting Tumpak Sewu Waterfall and the ferry transfer from Java to Bali are included. Entrance fees for Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen are not covered, nor are meals during the trip other than breakfast. Visitors should note that Mount Ijen is closed on the first Friday of every month. While the crater remains open and accessible, the blue fire phenomenon is currently not visible due to environmental and mining conditions. Safety regulations require visitors to keep a minimum distance of 500 meters from the sulfur mining zone. Occasionally local guides create artificial blue fire effects on stones for viewing. The tour focuses on sunrise and crater views rather than the blue fire itself. Bookings are not accepted from December 24 to January 7 due to seasonal closures.

The third day of the trip, we will start the trip about 5 am in the morning because the best time to visit the waterfall is at 7 am after the sunrise and the view of the surrounding will be clearer and not too bright for the color of the waterfall. And when you are lucky enough, there will be a fog /mist around the waterfall that makes your photo is more surreal. We will drive about 1,5 – 2 hours away from Lumajang town, the way to reach this waterfall is quite zig-zag so please prepare your own comfort. When you reach that area, you will be amazed by the view of this waterfall. Not also Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, you can also see Kapas Biru Waterfall. Both waterfalls are very famous for Instagram needs. But you must be careful due to the slippery path and traditional bamboo fence. About 11:00 am, we will escort you back to the car and we will drive about 6 hours to reach our hotel in Banyuwangi area before we do midnight trekking in Ijen Crater.
