East Java Volcano Tour: 3 Days from Surabaya to Bali

Description

Day 1: Surabaya Airport

On the first day of your Indonesian adventure, your guide will be waiting for you at Juanda International Airport or at the Surabaya train station. From there, you'll be taken through lush rural East Java to your hotel at Mount Bromo, where you'll spend the night.

During the journey from Surabaya, which takes around three hours, you'll make a stop to rebuild energy with a delicious hearty lunch before arriving at your accommodation to get some rest ready for tomorrow's early start.

Day 2: Mount Bromo

Begin your day bright and very early, leaving the hotel at 3:30 am to make the most of the first light of dawn. Climbing into an all-terrain Jeep, you'll head out towards Gunung Penanjakan, where you'll make a stop at a hilltop viewpoint located over 9000 feet (2,770 metres) above sea level. From this vantage point, you'll get to see one of the most spectacular sunrises in the world. Watch in awe as the Bromo and Seremu volcanoes are illuminated by the rising sun: a breathtakingly beautiful sight that you'll never forget!

After this magical experience, you'll descend towards the caldera of the volcano, inching ever closer to the active Mount Bromo. Embrace your natural surroundings reaching the peak in a unique way: riding up the slopes of the volcano on horseback.

Having enjoyed the unparalleled views from the lofty heights of Gunung Bromo, as the volcano is known in Indonesian, you'll be taken back to the hotel for a well-earned breakfast! You'll then set off for the next stop on your tour, Ketapang, also known as Kalipuro, where you'll relax and build up your energy for another day full of adventure.

Day 3: Ijen – Ketapang –Bali

You've reached the final day of your excursion, but don't worry: we'll make the most of our time today! You'll gather in the lobby of the hotel at 2 am, ready to visit the Ijen volcanoes. The early start will be well worth it when you catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring volcanic landscape. Maybe you've heard Ijen referred to as the blue volcano of Indonesia? Could it be for the vibrant turquoise colour of its highly acidic lake? Or maybe for the electric-blue flames that occasionally break out of the molten sulphur? Your guide will reveal these curiosities while you take in the amazing views!

After discovering how stunning East Java truly is, you'll be taken back to Ketapang, where you'll catch a ferry over to Gilimanuk, on the neighbouring island of Bali. Here, your three-day tour of the Indonesian volcanoes will come to an end.
