Explore East Java’s iconic sights with private hikes, stunning views + no rush.
This 4-day private trip takes you through the highlights of East Java, and it’s a pretty incredible experience. You’ll catch the famous sunrise at Mount Bromo, hike to Kawah Ijen’s glowing blue flames, visit the stunning Tumpak Sewu waterfall (often called the most beautiful waterfall in Indonesia), and explore the colourful Jodipan Rainbow Village.Photographers love this trip because it’s a private trip, takes you to all the most photogenic spots in East Java, and lets you enjoy and take photos at your own pace. It’s also perfect for adventurous travellers who want to explore some of the region’s most iconic sights without rushing like the join-in tours do. Do note, though, that the drives between places can be long (sometimes up to 7-8 hours), so it’s best for travellers who don’t mind a bit of road time in exchange for incredible views and experiences. If you’d prefer less travel, a shorter trip to Mount Bromo alone might be a better fit!What to ExpectVisit Mount Bromo, witness the stunning sunrise and explore the volcanoExplore the stunning Tumpak Sewu waterfall, the most beautiful waterfalls in Indonesia and a photographer's dreamStop by Jodipan Village (a.k.a. Rainbow village) where each building is brightly coloured and perfect for photosBlue flames trek at Ijen volcano.Includes: Private transportation in air-conditioned vehicle, accommodation, breakfast, all entrance fees, mineral water, and local guide.Fitness levelsModerate fitness is needed for this trip. If you're able to walk for 4-5 hours, you'll be ok.Bromo: You won't need to be fit to visit Mount Bromo as it's mainly a jeep ride and some stairs (240 steps that takes 20-30 minutes to climb).Ijen: For Mount Ijen you'll need to hike for 3-4 hours in the dark, with some steep terrain.Tumpuk Sewu: Tumpuk Sewu waterfall trek isn't difficult but it'll be slippery and uneven in parts so you'll need to have good shoes, and be able to scramble in parts.Important Tips: Please note while the start time is quite flexible, customers are required to commence the trip no later than 1 pm local time.Bring a headlamp: Essential for the early morning hikes and the Ijen crater trek.Fitness levels: While the Bromo hike is suitable for most fitness levels (as it's just jeep + short flight of stairs), the Ijen trek is steeper and requires a moderate level of fitness.Long Drive Times: Note that the drive times can be long as the distances between places is far, so be prepared! Some days will require a 7-8 hour drive. If you get car sick, we'd recommend just doing a Bromo only trip instead of a East Java trip.Ijen's Blue Fire: The blue flames are a natural phenomenon and not always visible. However, even without the flames, the Ijen crater is a stunning sight with incredible views as it's the largest crater lake in the world!Embrace the flexibility: This is your private adventure, so don't hesitate to ask your guide for customizations or adjustments to the itinerary.Note :The host will arrange accommodation at a homestay once the booking is confirmed. Please note that the homestay is subject to change based on availability and scheduling. The host will provide an alternative option that is comparable to the one shown in this listing.As this area is relatively new to foreign tourism, most drivers speak very basic English and Jeep operators may not speak any English at all. However your host will organise all the relevant details in advance and you will have access to your host via Whatsapp during the trip.Please note a medical certificate from a local clinic is required to climb Mt Ijen. Your driver will help you to obtain this certificate while in Banyuwangi.

This friendly and small team based in Probolinggo and Surabaya will show you the best of Bromo, Ijen, Malang, and beyond. Get ready for a local experience with great value (as attested by their guests!). Trained by one of the big agencies, they decided to go out on their own, offering the same great service with a personal touch. You'll be in good hands as you explore some of Indonesia's most breathtaking spots, and you'll appreciate their English skills, which are a cut above the rest.

Hi what is the latest time you should arrive at the airport in Surabaya on day 1 and latest time for departure on day 4?

Kate Needham, 26 Mar 2025

Hi Kate, It is best to arrive Surabaya before 1pm, so you will have time to rest before the Bromo tour. And on day 4, you will arrive Surabaya arround 4pm or 5pm

We are ready to book our tour but i have a question: should we find a way to leave our luggage (70L backpacks) somewhere while we do the tour taking only a small backpack? Or can we bring our full lugage with us (5 big 70L bacpacks)? We'd like to save that money since we don't really have a place to leave them, …but we don’t know if there’s space in the tour car to take them. can you help us with this?

Catarina Oliveira, 23 Mar 2025

Yes, you can bring a small backpack for the tour and leave your larger luggage (5 x 70L backpacks) in the car. It is safe to store them there while you enjoy the tour.

Hello, I want to book this tour for the beginning of May but I’m limited on time. I’m considering if a pick up/drop off in Bali or a return flight to Surabaya would be better. If I was to have a pick up in Bali, can you give me a rough idea of what time the pick up and drop off would be?

Hi, I don't think I will be fit enough to do Mount Ijen but can't find a similar itinerary that does not include this. Is it possible to do a version without Ijen?
