3 Day Trip from Surabaya to Bromo Ijen & Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

Itinerary 3 Day Trip from Surabaya to Bromo Ijen & Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

Day 01: Surabaya – Bromo Sunrise – Stay in Tumpak Sewu

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your Surabaya hotel (or Juanda Airport) at 11:00 PM. We drive overnight (approx. 3.5 hours) to the Bromo region, arriving at the designated Jeep parking area around 3:30 AM. Here, you’ll transfer to a 4×4 Jeep for the thrilling ride to “Penanjakan 1” viewpoint.

• 4:00 AM – 6:00 AM: Sunrise at Mount Bromo. Brace yourself for a stunning panorama. As the sun rises, it casts a golden glow over the smoldering Bromo and the majestic Mount Semeru, Indonesia’s highest volcano, in the background. Enjoy the celestial views and capture breathtaking photos.
• 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM: Crater Exploration. After sunrise, the Jeep takes you across the “Sea of Sand” to the foot of Mount Bromo. You’ll hike up the stairs to the edge of the active crater, where you can peer into the rumbling abyss and hear the constant roar of volcanic activity.
• 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM: Savanna & Return. On the way back, you’ll stop at the scenic Teletubbies Hill (Savanna) for more photo opportunities before the Jeep drops you back for breakfast and a wash-up at a local cafe.
• 11:00 AM: Drive to Tumpak Sewu. After freshening up, your driver will take you on a scenic 5-hour drive south towards Lumajang. You’ll arrive at your hotel near Coban Sewu by late afternoon. Check-in, rest, and enjoy dinner at the local restaurant.

Day 02: Tumpak Sewu Tour – Stay in Bondowoso

• 7:00 AM: Breakfast and Check-Out. Enjoy an early breakfast at the hotel.
• 8:30 AM: Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Trek. Head to the entrance of Tumpak Sewu. You will descend a series of steps and trails into the canyon (approx. 30-minute hike). The view from the bottom is awe-inspiring—a massive, semi-circular curtain of water plummeting into the river. Prepare to get wet from the spray as you explore the area.
• 11:00 AM: Transfer to Bondowoso. After climbing back up and changing clothes, you’ll begin the 4-hour journey to Bondowoso. This drive takes you through the heart of Java’s countryside, past rice paddies and coffee plantations.
• 3:00 PM: Arrive in Bondowoso. Check into your hotel. The rest of the afternoon is free for you to relax, as the next day starts very early for Ijen. We recommend resting early.

Last Day: Ijen Tour – Drop Off Banyuwangi Harbor

• 12:00 AM: Check-Out and Depart. We depart Bondowoso at midnight to reach the Ijen Paltuding basecamp by 2:00 AM.
• 2:00 AM – 4:00 AM: Trek to Ijen Crater. Armed with a headlamp, you begin the 3-kilometer trek up the mountain. The gradient is steady but manageable. Upon reaching the rim, you may descend slightly to witness the famous Blue Fire phenomenon, a surreal sight visible only before dawn.
• 5:00 AM – 7:00 AM: Crater Lake Sunrise. As the sky brightens, you’ll see the world’s largest acidic crater lake in its full turquoise glory. Observe the sulfur miners at work and enjoy the incredible views.
• 8:00 AM: Return to Basecamp. Head back down to the parking area, where breakfast boxes will be waiting.
• 9:00 AM: Drive to Banyuwangi. Your driver will take you on the 1.5-hour journey to Banyuwangi Harbor. The tour concludes with your drop-off at the ferry terminal, where you can catch a boat to Bali.
