Detailed itinerary

Be ready for our knowledgeable driver and guide to pick you up at 00.00 a.m. and bring you along the Probolinggo road to the Bromo region. Your pick-up location in Surabaya will take you there in around 3 hours.

We’ll use a Jeep (4 WD) to continue the trip so we can appreciate the rough route that circles the hilly region. Next, we will head to Mt. Penanjakan or Kingkong Hill, the best place to enjoy the sunrise view of Bromo. The dawn will typically occur at 04.30 AM. Normal nighttime lows on Mount Bromo range from 0 to 12 degrees Celsius, warming up as the sun rises. You can hire an extra jacket for IDR 10.000,00 at the sunrise view point if you need one. We shall sip some coffee or tea in a nearby coffee shop as we wait for the morning. There is a prayer room available for Muslim customers, and morning prayers can begin as early as 4:15 AM. The distance between the coffee shop and the location where we can see the sunrise is only approximately two minutes.

We then go down the hill to the parking jeep area and pass through the vast stretching sea of sand created by the eruption of Mount Bromo. We will also pass through one of the tourist destinations with a very attractive panoramic view that spoils the eyes, namely Widodaren Hill.

The trip will take around 30 minutes to reach the summit. You can see Mt. Semeru, the highest mountain on Java Island, as well as the caldera, the Mt. Batok mountains, and the still-active Bromo crater from the peak’s rim.

After descending from Bromo crater, you are required to make your way to a Hindu temple named Pura Luhur Poten, which is a remnant of one of the Indonesian kingdoms. Hindu temple Pura Luhur Poten is situated near Mount Bromo's base.The majority-Hindu Tengger tribe gathers at this temple for religious ceremonies. From the jeep parking lot area, you can walk up to 300 meters to this location.

Then, you can enjoy a traditional Indonesian breakfast at Lava View restaurant and return to the Bromo village area, the area where our car was parked before transferring by jeep.

Heading to Surabaya area after finishing the trip. Here, we will drop you off in Surabaya Area as the same your pick up location. You can request if you want to drop in other location arround Surabaya City
