You can also choose to pick up in your hotel Surabaya, instead of the airport. Then, our driver will take you to Mount Bromo. The trip to Mount Bromo from Surabaya will need about 3 or 4 hours.

Day 02 – Bromo Sunrise Penanjakan
Early in the morning on the second day (3 am) you will ride on a 4WD to take you to the fabulous viewpoint at Mount Penanjakan. The mountain is located on the rim of Tengger Caldera. There, you can witness a fantastic sunrise from a viewpoint with a heartbreaking background of Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru. All your hard work to wake up very early in the morning and climb up to the top of Mount Penanjakan will be paid off with the magnificent view of sunrise you hardly find elsewhere. This is such a great way to start your day in Mount Bromo tour.
After enjoying a beautiful sunrise in Mount Penanjakan, you will continue your adventure to Mount Bromo. There, you will enjoy a unique experience listening to “whispered-sands” of the desert surrounding the mountain. You will be taken back to your hotel after that to have breakfast and refresh yourself. After packing your belongings, you will continue your journey to Banyuwangi. This is the nearest city to transit if you want to continue your tour from East Java to Bali. The trip usually lasts for 4 to 5 hours and lunch will be served by a local restaurant on the way to the city. You will reach in a hotel in Banyuwangi in the afternoon to take a rest and have some pleasures.
Day 03 – Ijen Volcano and Bali
On your third day in Bromo and Ijen Crater Tour, you will be picked up from your hotel at 12.30 am and then go to the slope of Mount Ijen. You will view wonderful green plantations along the way to the mount. During the 1.5-hour journey, you will pass through big trees, giant ferns, and plants with fresh air you hardly find in big cities. The plantations and rainforests are a few green areas you can find in Java. That is why the path is very popular among tourists who want to go to Ijen Mountain.
After completing the 1.5-hour journey and reaching the slope of Mount Ijen, it comes the time for you to ascend the path and reach the top of the mountain. Mount Ijen is located on an altitude of 2883 meters above the sea level. Along the journey, you will be presented with a stunning scenic view and fresh air. You will be taken to the main attraction of Mount Ijen, the magnificent Ijen Crater. It is a giant lake of sulfate with spectacular views. The surrounding areas of the Ijen Crater are reflected on the sulfate surface to create a “shady wall” and give you an impression as you are standing in the middle of a doom.
Climbing up to Ijen Crater will also provide you with a chance to take a closer look at the daily activities of the local people. Many of them are working as sulfate miners. You will see them going down to the crater to take the sulfate blocks. They will then climb back the crater while bringing about 80 kilograms of sulfate blocks on their shoulders by passing through dangerous paths. That is such an irony since the mineworkers only get a small payment for their hard work. In this way, make sure that you give the workers the way first if you meet them on your journey to the crater.
However, Ijen Crater with its stunning panorama has attracted many people to come to the tourist destination every day. You will be amazed by the great view you see there. Don’t forget to bring your camera and take pictures of the beautiful scenery of Ijen Crater. You will be taken down the slope of Mount Ijen and driven back to your hotel. You can enjoy your tasty breakfast in the hotel and then pack your belongings before checking out. Then, we will drive you to the famous Sanur, Ubud, Kuta, or Nusa Dua and take you back to your hotel in the afternoon.
