Mount Bromo Sunset Tour

Experience the breathtaking beauty of East Java on this full-day adventure from Surabaya. Begin with the awe-inspiring Madakaripura Waterfall, Indonesia’s second-highest waterfall, before continuing to the iconic Mount Bromo. Explore the dramatic Bromo Tengger caldera, visit the Tenggerese Hindu temple at Poten, and witness a stunning sunset over the volcanic landscape, including views of Mount Batok and the mighty Mount Semeru. This private tour offers a seamless, hassle-free journey with 4WD transfers, local meals, and the option for hikes or pony rides, making it perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

ITINERARY

800am – Pick up from your hotel (or airport) in Surabaya to Lumbang Village to catch a view of the 200m high cascading Madakaripura Waterfalls – the second highest in Indonesia (approx. 2.5 hrs. drive).

1100am – Arrive at Madakaripura Waterfalls. It is possible to hike down towards the plunge pool for a close up view of the falling water.

1200pm – Proceed to Mount Bromo (approx. 1.5 hr drive). You will have lunch in a local restaurant en-route to Mount Bromo.

230pm – Transfer to a 4WD for an exciting ride down the majestic caldera of Bromo Tengger complex to Poten – a Tenggerese Hindu temple beside Mount Bromo. From Poten, you can choose to take a 3km hike or a pony ride to get to the base of Mount Bromo. A short flight of 253 concrete steps will lead you to the top of Mount Bromo where you can have a close up view of its smokey crater. Thereafter you will hike (or ride a pony) back to Poten where you will board back the 4WD. Drive out of the caldera to Gunung Penanjakan (2770m) at the edge of the Tengger crater rim to witness the beautiful sunset over the Bromo landscape. Rising from the flat volcanic sand bed of the caldera is the dormant core of Mount Batok (2440m) and the active volcano of Mount Bromo (2329m). Further south beyond the crater wall lies mighty Gunung Semeru (3676m) – the highest and most active volcano in Java.

It was a fantastic trip! Driver was punctual and the hiking guide took great care of us throughout the challenging hike. Bob also was patient and flexible during the entire booking process when we kept changing the people in the group. I would highly recommend booking through iwannatravel if you want a private trip that can be customised to all your specific needs.

One-stop service for everything you need to enjoy a hike to Mt Ophir. Love the direct pick up and drop off from our home since there were only one family on the trip, much needed after the tiring hike. Bob provides useful information on what to pack for the trip as well. Thanks Bob.

March 2025 - Xiamen I engaged Bob’s services for a family trip to Xiamen. Bob was highly responsive during the planning phase and also checked in with me during and after the trip to make sure everything was okay. The tour company in China was superb, professional with attention to detail, making sure all our needs were met. No regrets going with Bob and team! Will definitely come back to Bob in future!

4D3N Lake Toba 26/2 - 1/3/2025 This was a magical trip that would be fondly remembered for years. Breathtaking scenery & fun-filled adventure. I must give a loud shout-out to the people who made this trip 200% enjoyable. Big thanks to Bob from IWT for the careful planning so we made full use of the limited time there. Zain is very knowledgeable as the local guide and when we asked for a massage, he said to bring us to the best massage place in Berastagi. He didn't let us down. Kudos to driver Diza for always being punctual and getting us around in speedy fashion. Man of few words cause he's focused on the road for safety. Lastly, forever thankful to the man who probably saved our lives, very experienced hiking guide Bayu. We're amateurs w/o any gear and tried to climb Mt Sibayak wearing only t-shirt, shorts & running shoes during the wet season. He got us hiking sticks & torchlights, told us exactly where to step at tricky terrains, had spare clothing for us to keep warm, even had hot tea & snacks.

We had an amazing 2D2N Mt Jade hike in Taiwan organized by iwannatravel. The arrangements made by Bob were seamless and their local partner was excellent! We had not just one but two guides who were extremely professional and experienced hikers. They thoughtfully took care of us throughout the trip and meticulously ensured our needs were met. If you are looking for a hassle and stress free, well organized trip, try them out!
