Bromo and Ijen trekking

Volcanoes
Java

Take a trip to the most impressive places on Earth, to the heaven and hell of our planet - the active volcanoes Ijen and Bromo on the island of Java!

It is here, on the Ijen volcano, that you will see incredible Martian landscapes, a turquoise sulfur lake shrouded in clouds of sulfur vapors, and blue lights glowing in the night. You will also meet locals who extract sulfur with hard work exactly the same as 1000 years ago, lifting heavy baskets with stones from the crater of the volcano itself.

You will go on a real Jeep Safari through the sandy desert with a view of the majestic Bromo volcano, and also meet the breathtaking sunrise on its top. Bromo is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. You will feel the lava bubbling and boiling under your feet, rising from the very center of the Earth.

In a 3-day tour, you will find a balance of vivid impressions and a comfortable stay. After a busy morning trekking and a long road, you will be able to relax and unwind in cozy hotels and homesteads.

Don't miss the opportunity to embark on the most unusual journey of your life!

A driver will pick you up in a comfortable vehicle. The journey takes you through Bali's scenic landscapes—beaches, rice fields, and the West Bali National Park.

  • 12:00-13:00: Ferry crossing to Banyuwangi port on East Java. After arriving in Ketapang, stop for lunch at a local restaurant, then continue to the Mount Bromo area.

  • 04:00: Arrive at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan. Experience breathtaking views of the sunrise over the Bromo-Tengger caldera.

  • 06:00: Begin the descent, returning to the hotel for breakfast and packing.

It seemed like a perfect tour. Yes, the road is long, but on the way there it went by completely unnoticed, plus we were driven through beautiful streets, where you adore the beauty the whole way. The driver we had was also excellent, Buldog (Ketut). Our guide Sigit joined us in Java, also a very cool guide. I guess there weren't strong expectations for the tour itself to avoid disappointment, but the reality pleasantly surprised us. The sunrise at Bromo and all its surroundings were very beautiful. Although it was a bit cloudy, it seemed like these clouds only added more atmosphere and beauty. The view of the temples through the haze from the crater was very impressive too. I'm normally indifferent to waterfalls, but this one left the best impressions, and the power and energy of the water are always invigorating. The views are beautiful, and the local guide takes great photos and videos. And then there was the conclusion at Ijen. I had been to Ijen separately before and was impressed then, but this time I went again with friends. It was worth it because the first time we didn't go down to the fire, apparently due to weather conditions or something like that, but this time we did, saw it, and were impressed. The lake is beautiful, but I already knew what to expect, so it wasn't as impressive as the first time, but it's always nice to look at beauty. Overall, I'd say the tour program was a 10/10 for me. A small downside was the long wait for the ferry on the way back, and the ferry itself drifted for an extra half hour. Even though we were tired after such an eventful program, we were driven through a very beautiful road again, so sleeping felt like a crime and we enjoyed the views.

I liked that the duties were separated - the guide and the driver were different people. While one worked, the other rested, and vice versa. Both spoke English. The guide spoke particularly well, not only was he a local (eastern Java, near Ijen), but he was also an enthusiast and nature researcher. We talked with him along the way, discussed everything, and learned a lot of new things. Maybe we were just lucky, or maybe all the professionals there are like that, I don't know. Everything was organized as stated, without any changes on the go, hidden traps, or other surprises. Overall, everything was client-oriented, and they constantly asked about our condition, our opinions, and wishes.
