Day 02
BONDOWOSO – IJEN CRATER – LUMAJANG
Start the day with an early wake-up call around 2am as we prepare for an unforgettable Ijen crater experience. A comfortable 45-minute drive brings you to the Ijen ranger post at the trailhead, where your trek begins. Over the next 1 to 1.5 hours, tou will ascend to the crater rim, greeted by spectacular views of the vast volcanic crater and its mesmerizing turquoise sulfur lake—one of nature’s most striking sights. From this dramatic vantage point, you will also see local sulfur miners in action—people who work tirelessly in challenging conditions to extract sulfur and carry heavy loads back up the mountain. Their strength and resilience form part of Ijen’s compelling story, creating a truly authentic experience. After enjoying the sunrise and taking in the breathtaking panorama, you will continue your journey with a scenic transfer to your hotel in Lumajang, which takes approximately 4 hours by road.
For guests who wish to see the rare blue fire phenomenon closer up, an earlier departure around 12 am–1 am can be arranged. Please confirm this with your guide the night before so we can tailor the experience to your preference.

Day 03
LUMAJANG – TUMPAK SEWU – CEMORO LAWANG
After breakfast and checking out from your hotel, you will set off for one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking natural wonders—Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, also known as Coban Sewu. This extraordinary waterfall plunges 120 meters in a majestic semi‑circular curtain, creating the illusion of a thousand waterfalls flowing at once, framed against lush ridges with Mount Semeru rising proudly in the distance. Your first highlight is the panoramic viewpoint, where you will be greeted by an awe‑inspiring vista—perfect for photos and soaking in the sound of cascading water. From there, you have the option to descend to Goa Tetes, a serene waterfall and freshwater pool where you can unwind and enjoy a refreshing dip amidst nature’s symphony. After your waterfall adventure and lunch, enjoy a scenic drive to your resort in Cemoro Lawang (approximately 2.5 hours’ drive), where the dramatic landscapes of Mount Bromo await you next.

Day 04
MOUNT BROMO – SURABAYA
You will receive an early morning wake‑up call at around 3 am to prepare for a magical Mount Bromo sunrise experience. From your accommodation, an exciting 4WD jeep ride will take you up winding volcanic tracks to the renowned Penanjakan viewpoint at the edge of the Tengger Crater Rim (about 2,770 m), where you will be perfectly positioned to witness one of Java’s most breathtaking sunrises. Watch in awe as golden light spreads across the dramatic volcanic landscape, highlighting Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and the distant Mount Semeru. After the sunrise, your adventure continues as you travel in the 4WD across the surreal Sea of Sand (Lautan Pasir) toward Pura Luhur Poten, a serene Tenggerese Hindu temple nestled beside Mount Bromo. From here, you have two great options to reach the base of Mount Bromo: a scenic 3 km walk across volcanic plain or a pony ride, both leading to the iconic staircase. Once at the staircase, a climb of about 253 steps brings you up to the crater rim, where you will be rewarded with incredible close‑up views of the active volcano and its powerful natural beauty. After this unforgettable encounter with Bromo’s raw landscape, you will head back to your vehicle for the transfer to Surabaya Airport for your flight home. If time permits, your guide can also arrange a visit to a popular local attraction such as House of Sampoerna before your departure.
