I booked the 3-day tour from Surabaya and we visited Mt. Bromo, Tumpak Sewu Falls and Kwah Ijen. First we visited Tumpak Sewu Falls. It was a great experience but be prepared that you will be completely wet at the end of the tour as you will climb and walk in the water and under the falls (have another set of clothes with you to change after the tour). Our driver Bagus then took us closer to Mt. Bromo where we stayed for the first night. During the three days Bagus told us a lot about Indonesia and its culture and I must say he was a great driver and guide. For Mt. Bromo sunrise we departed in the middle of the night from our hotel. The weather was misty and rainy at times but we still managed to see the sunrise. On the other hand, we did see blue fire in Kwah Ijen but since there was fog all around us we did not see the lake from the top of Ijen as it was a rainy season - if you can choose then take this tour in a dry season. Overall it was a great tour.

Definitely worth checking this out if you have a day spare in Bali! We were picked up at 5:45pm and got back the following day at 5pm so prepare for a long day! Arya picked us up and gave us a great tour along the way and found a cozy warung to eat some dinner at before the ferry. Piki met us on East Java and was a lovely guide who took amazing pics for us during the hike and even made a special video of us. The breakfast at the coffee plantation was great and the coffee amazing (as someone from Melbourne it was great coffee). We were pretty wrecked on the way home and Arya once again took us back to the hotel, was great company and very entertaining! The views and scenery from Ijen were top notch and won’t be forgotten

This trip ended up becoming the memory of a lifetime! It was a lovely experience as everything from hotel transfers to on-site guidance during the trek was very managed very well!

An active trip that was well organized and efficiently supported by the knowledgable and friendly drivers and guides

great tour, took away all the trouble of planning away from us Wich was much needed
