The tiny island of Menjangan is part of the West Bali National Park and offers one of the best snorkeling and diving sites in the whole of Java and Bali. Its coral reef is home to a myriad of marine animals including some larger species like whale sharks, turtles and even manta rays. Baluran National Park, also known as Africa Van Java or Little Africa in Java is a unique biosphere where three distinct ecosystems (savannah, mangrove forest and marine) exit side by side. The trip will culminate with a visit to two of the greatest volcanic landscapes in Indonesia: Ijen Crater and Mount Bromo.

This tiny island of 38 square kilometers is part of the West Bali National Park and offers one of the best snorkeling and diving sites in the whole of Java and Bali.

Day 03
BANYUWANGI – BALURAN NATIONAL PARK – BANYUWANGI
After breakfast at your hotel, you will be transferred to the mainland for your safari adventure at Baluran National Park (approx. 2 hrs drive). Often called “Africa van Java” or “Little Africa of Java,” the park is a unique biosphere where three distinct ecosystems—savannah, mangrove forest, and marine—exist side by side. Begin your exploration at the Bekol Savannah viewpoint, where you can observe herds gathering at the water hole to quench their thirst. For a panoramic perspective, climb the observation tower for a full 360° view of the savannah, with the imposing dormant volcano Mount Baluran (1,247 m) forming a dramatic backdrop. In the afternoon, continue to Bama Beach, a secluded white sandy beach untouched by mass tourism. The beach is bordered by a healthy coral reef offshore, and its calm, flat waters are ideal for swimming or canoeing. A scenic bird-watching trail also links the beach to the savannah through the lush mangrove forest, providing a perfect opportunity to experience the park’s diverse wildlife and landscapes.
Overnight: Hotel in Banyuwangi
Day 04
BANYUWANGI – IJEN – CEMORO LAWANG
You will receive an early wake-up call around 2:00 am to prepare for the night hike to Kawah Ijen. A drive of about 1.5 hours brings you to the ranger post at the trailhead, where the trek to the crater begins (approximately 1–1.5 hours on foot). After enjoying the sunrise view over the crater, you will return to the base and continue by road to Cemoro Lawang, the village located on the rim of the Tengger Caldera and the gateway to Mount Bromo.

Day 05
CEMORO LAWANG – MOUNT BROMO – SURABAYA
At around 3am, you will receive a wake-up call to prepare for an unforgettable sunrise experience at Mount Bromo. An exhilarating 4WD ride will take you to Mount Penanjakan (2,770m), located on the rim of the Tengger Caldera. From this vantage point, you will witness the spectacular sunrise over the Bromo landscape. In the distance, the perfectly shaped cone of Mount Batok (2,440m) stands beside the smoking crater of Mount Bromo (2,329m), while the majestic Mount Semeru (3,676m), the highest volcano in Java, rises in the background. After enjoying the sunrise, continue your journey by 4WD across the vast Sea of Sand to reach Pura Luhur Poten, a sacred Tenggerese Hindu temple located at the foot of Mount Bromo. From here, you may choose to walk approximately 3 km or take an optional pony ride to the base of the volcano, followed by a climb of 253 steps to the crater rim for a close-up view of the smoking crater. Thereafter, proceed to Madakaripura Waterfall (approximately 1 hour by road), one of the tallest and most dramatic waterfalls in Indonesia. Upon arrival, embark on a short yet exciting walk through a tropical valley, crossing shallow streams and passing towering cliffs as the sound of cascading water grows louder. The path eventually leads to the magnificent main waterfall, where water plunges from towering rock walls surrounded by lush greenery. Finally, transfer to your hotel in Surabaya (approx 3 hrs drive) where you can rest and relax after a full day of adventure.
