Tumpak Sewu · Ijen · Bromo

Your Bromo, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, and Ijen adventure begins at 09:00 AM. Our driver will pick you up from Juanda International Airport or your hotel in Surabaya before starting the journey to Banyuwangi, where your accommodation near Ijen Crater is located.

The drive takes approximately 6–7 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Along the way, you will pass through busy city areas, long stretches of highway, traditional villages, and the expansive landscape of Baluran Forest.

Upon arrival in Banyuwangi, check in to your hotel and take some time to relax after the long drive. You can enjoy the available hotel facilities and get some rest before the midnight excursion to Mount Ijen.

The Ijen Crater adventure starts at approximately 00:00 AM. We will depart from your hotel and drive to Paltuding Base Camp, the main starting point for the Mount Ijen hike, located at around 1,800 metres above sea level. The journey takes approximately one hour, passing through local villages, rice fields, and forested areas filled with tall, ancient trees.

Once we arrive at Paltuding, you can enjoy a warm cup of coffee or tea while our guide explains the hiking route and provides important safety instructions. At around 02:00 AM, we will begin the trek towards Ijen Crater.

The uphill trail covers approximately 3 kilometres and usually takes 1.5–2 hours, depending on your fitness level and walking pace. Along the route, there are six checkpoints, with small food stalls and toilet facilities available at most of them.

After reaching the upper section of Mount Ijen, at an elevation of approximately 2,386 metres, we will continue towards the crater rim. For those interested in witnessing the famous blue fire, the journey includes a descent of around 800 metres along a steep, rocky, and slippery path. Reaching the crater floor takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

The blue fire is a rare natural phenomenon created by ignited sulphuric gases and is one of the main highlights of the Ijen experience. If access is permitted and weather conditions are suitable, you will have the opportunity to witness this unique sight and take memorable photographs.

Important note: If you are unable or prefer not to descend to the blue fire area, you can skip this section and continue directly towards the sunrise viewpoint.

After exploring the blue fire area, we will climb back up the same trail and proceed to the sunrise point. This section takes approximately 30 minutes to one hour, depending on your pace. At the viewpoint, enjoy the spectacular scenery of Ijen Crater and capture photos of the surrounding volcanic landscape.

At around 07:00 AM, we will descend to Paltuding Base Camp before returning to your accommodation for breakfast and time to freshen up.

In the afternoon, we will check out and continue the journey to Pronojiwo, Lumajang, where your accommodation near Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is located. The drive takes approximately 6–7 hours, depending on road and traffic conditions.

Upon arrival, check in and spend the evening resting after the day's activities. Make sure to get enough sleep before the waterfall trekking excursion the following morning.

After breakfast, we will begin the Tumpak Sewu excursion at approximately 07:00 AM. Our first destination is the panoramic viewpoint, offering an impressive view of the waterfall cascading down the surrounding cliffs. You will have time to admire the scenery and take photographs from above.

From the viewpoint, we will continue on foot towards the lower section of the waterfall. The trek takes around one hour and involves descending hillside paths and following the river. Along the way, you will pass several scenic attractions, including Tetes Cave and Blue Lake, where you can stop to enjoy the natural surroundings and take pictures.

Upon reaching Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, take some time to appreciate its dramatic cascades and magnificent cliff formations. This is an excellent opportunity to capture unforgettable memories of one of East Java's most beautiful natural destinations.

Following lunch, we will travel to Sukapura, Probolinggo, for your overnight stay in the Bromo area. The journey takes approximately 4–5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. Along the way, you will enjoy views of the countryside, natural cliffs, and changing landscapes as we approach the mountainous region.

Once you arrive at the hotel, check in and enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere. The rest of the day is reserved for relaxation, allowing you to recharge before the early-morning Mount Bromo sunrise tour.

The final day of your adventure begins at approximately 03:30 AM, when our 4WD jeep picks you up from your hotel for the Mount Bromo sunrise excursion.

We will head to some of the most popular viewpoints along the edge of the Tengger Caldera, including Penanjakan and Kingkong Hill, situated at an elevation of approximately 2,700 metres. From these locations, you can enjoy a stunning sunrise accompanied by panoramic views of Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and Mount Semeru.

After sunrise, we will continue the journey across the famous Sea of Sand, a vast volcanic plain surrounding Mount Bromo. From the jeep parking area, you can choose to walk or take an optional horse ride towards the staircase leading to the crater rim.
