Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Surabaya to Tosari village, set on the slopes of Mount Bromo. Settle into your accommodation and enjoy the cool mountain air before preparing for an early start. The next morning, travel by 4×4 to the viewpoint at Mount Pananjakan to watch the first light of day illuminate the vast Tengger Caldera. Continue across the Sea of Sand to Mount Bromo’s smoking crater, where you can climb the steps to the rim for breathtaking views. After breakfast, journey toward Banyuwangi, passing rice terraces, local markets, and rural villages before checking into your second hotel.
Your final day begins long before sunrise with a trek into the heart of Mount Ijen. Descend carefully into the crater to witness the legendary blue fire, a rare natural phenomenon caused by burning sulfur gas. As daylight breaks, marvel at the turquoise waters of the crater lake surrounded by rugged volcanic cliffs. After this unforgettable experience, hike back to the crater rim and descend to your vehicle for the return trip to Surabaya, carrying with you memories of Java’s most extraordinary landscapes.
