Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 | Surabaya to Mount Bromo Area
Your adventure begins with a private pick-up from Surabaya Airport or your hotel. We will drive approximately 3-4 hours to the village of Cemoro Lawang, the gateway to Bromo. After checking into your accommodation, enjoy a free evening to soak in the mountain atmosphere and prepare for the early start.
Day 2 | Bromo Sunrise & Journey to Ijen
At 3:00 AM, a 4WD Jeep will take you to Penanjakan Hill for a world-class sunrise. Afterward, cross the Sea of Sand to climb the stairs of the Bromo Crater. We then return for breakfast and begin the 6-hour drive to the Ijen area (Bondowoso or Banyuwangi) for your second night’s stay.
Day 3 | Ijen Blue Fire & Return to Surabaya
Start your midnight trek at 12:00 AM to reach the Ijen Crater rim. Descend into the crater to witness the rare Blue Fire and the largest acidic lake in the world. After sunrise, we hike back down, visit a local waterfall if time permits, and drive back to Surabaya for your final drop-off.
The Ijen Blue Fire is a rare, naturally occurring phenomenon. Its visibility is strictly dependent on daily volcanic activity, weather conditions, and current Ijen Crater National Park safety regulations. We cannot guarantee that you will see the Blue Fire during your hike. Please consult with our travel experts regarding the current crater conditions before making your booking.
