Hi, I want to book for May, we are travelling so have luggages, maybe a silly questions, but do you have space for our luggage’s? Thanks

Judy, 16 Mar 2025

Hi Judy, Yes, you can bring your baggage with you in the car. Since this is a private trip, the tour will be exclusively for you.

Dear, I would like to book the trip to Bromo & Ijen. We would like to visit Bromo on the 28th of May and Ijen on the 29th of May. Are these the correct dates to select when booking the trip? I understood that pick up is already at 11:30PM the day before, so I want double check that I select the right date. Pick-up would be around 11:30PM in Malang on May, 27th. On May, 28th we visit Bromo and drive to Ijen area. On the 29th, we visit Ijen and can be dropped off at the harbour to Bali afterwards. For this trip, I select 28-29th of May. Is that correct?
