5-Day Bromo Ijen Tumpak Sewu and Madakaripura Tour from Bali Itinerary Package
1st Day: Bali – Ferry to Java – Hotel in Banyuwangi (Ijen Area)
- 10.00 – 14.00: Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Bali (Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, etc.). Your private driver and guide will escort you to Gilimanuk Port for the ferry crossing to East Java. Enjoy scenic views during the roughly 1-hour ferry ride to Ketapang Port in Banyuwangi.
- 14.00 – 16.00: Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel near the Ijen volcano area. The remainder of the day is at your leisure to relax, acclimatize, and prepare for the very early start the next morning. A pre-tour briefing from your guide will ensure you’re ready.
2nd Day: Ijen Crater – Drive to Bromo Area
- 00.00 – 04.00: Between midnight, your journey to Ijen begins. A 1.5-hour drive takes you to Paltuding, the starting point of the hike. The approximately 1.5 to 2-hour uphill trek (3km) leads you to the crater rim.
- 04.00 – 07.30: Witness the otherworldly spectacle of the blue fire (subject to volcanic activity and access permissions) at the base of the crater. As dawn breaks, behold the stunning turquoise sulfuric acid lake, the world’s largest.
- 07.30 – 15.00: After sunrise, descend back to Paltuding for breakfast. Return to the hotel to shower, check out, and begin the scenic drive (approx. 5-6 hours) to your hotel in the Bromo area (Cemoro Lawang or nearby). Rest well for another iconic sunrise.
3rd Day: Mount Bromo Sunrise – Madakaripura Waterfall – Malang City
- 03.00 – 06.30: A very early start (around 3:30 AM) takes you in a rugged 4WD Jeep across the Sea of Sand. You’ll climb to the famous Penanjakan or King Kong Hill viewpoint for a breathtaking sunrise over the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru massif.
- 06.30 – 08.00: Afterwards, the Jeep will take you across the caldera to the base of Mount Bromo. You can hike or ride a horse (optional extra) up the 250 concrete steps to the steaming crater’s edge.
- 08.00 – 10.00: Return to the hotel for breakfast and check out.
- 10.00 – 15.00: Next, visit the powerful Madakaripura Waterfall, a towering column of water hidden in a circular valley, steeped in local legend.

4th Day: Tumpak Sewu Waterfall – Hotel in Surabaya or Malang
- 07.00 – 09.00: After breakfast, embark on a 2-hour drive to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, often called “Java’s Niagara.” The view from the top overlooking the multi-tiered falls cascading into a lush jungle gorge is phenomenal.
- 09.00 – 13.00: For the adventurous, a local guide will lead you down a steep and slippery path to the base for an awe-inspiring, immersive perspective (be prepared to get wet). Enjoy the powerful mist and stunning photo opportunities before climbing back up.
- 13.00 – 16.00: Post-visit, freshen up and begin the drive (approx. 3-4 hours) to your hotel in Surabaya (for next-day flights) or back to Malang.
5th Day: Transfer to Surabaya Airport or Bali – Tour Concludes
