Fani was an amazing guide! He knew so much about the Tumpak Sewu, it’s surroundings and all the other small waterfalls and caves nearby. He also let us taste some local specialties which was very nice. Would definitely recommend this tour if you like to get a bit more adventurous around this area.

Full description

TUMPAK SEWU WATERFALL DAY TRIP

Start your adventure between 5:00–8:00 AM, depending on your preference—though we highly recommend an early departure to make the most of the day. We offer flexible pickup and drop-off options, including from your hotel in the city center, train station, or anywhere within our designated pickup zone.

Enjoy a scenic 2–3 hour drive that winds through bustling local markets, lush countryside, and mountainous roads as we make our way to one of East Java’s most iconic natural wonders—Tumpak Sewu Waterfall.

Breathtaking Panorama from Above

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a panoramic view of the majestic waterfall from the top. On clear days, you can even spot a rainbow arching across the mist, with the stunning Mount Semeru—Java’s tallest and most active volcano—as a dramatic backdrop.

Descent into the Heart of the Falls

Your journey continues with a descent down hundreds of concrete steps and natural rock paths into the heart of the canyon. From below, Tumpak Sewu offers a completely different perspective—with countless photo opportunities against the dramatic curtain of water and lush cliffs.

Telaga Biru – A Refreshing Dip

Next, enjoy a refreshing moment at Telaga Biru—a serene pond once formed naturally, now restored after a major 2023 flash flood using eco-friendly sandbag reinforcements. This spot is perfect for a cool dip or a short break.

‍♂️ Climb to Goa Tetes – A Hidden Gem

Your final exploration stop is the mystical Goa Tetes, a cave adorned with limestone features and hidden waterfalls. Accessed by a steel ladder and stone stairs, this lesser-known spot adds a dash of adventure to your trip before you return to the parking area for a clean-up and change.

It was an incredibly exciting adventure. Our guide and driver in one person - Fani was a great companion, showing us the most beautiful treasures of this place. We started our trip relatively early from Surabaya to avoid the crowds that come later. Don't be afraid to get completely wet, but enjoy the magic of this place
