From Bali: Mount Bromo & Ijen Crater 3-Day 2-Night Small-Group Tour

Take the ferry from Bali
to the Ijen area on Java

On day one, after pickup from your accommodation in Bali, travel along Bali's west coast to Gilimanuk Port. Cross the Bali Strait by ferry to Ketapang Port in Banyuwangi, Java, then head to a hotel near Ijen Crater surrounded by forest and cool mountain air and check in. The hike the next day starts before dawn, so it is best to rest early.

Climb Ijen Crater at dawn to greet the sunrise

On day two, travel to the Ijen Crater base camp before sunrise and trek to the summit under the stars with a local guide. Arriving at the summit around dawn, watch the sunrise light up the surrounding mountains and the turquoise crater lake, and listen to your guide explain the volcanic landscape, the sulfur mining tradition and the blue fire phenomenon. After descending, pass rural villages and coffee and clove plantations on the way to a hotel in the Mount Bromo area to rest.

Ride a jeep to see the Mount Bromo sunrise and crater

On day three, ride a jeep early in the morning across the Sea of Sand in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park to a viewpoint and watch the sunrise behind Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru. Then take the jeep to the foot of Mount Bromo, walk across the sandy plain and climb the stairs to the crater rim to look down into the steaming caldera.

End your trip in the city of your choice

After exploring Mount Bromo, return to the hotel for breakfast, then travel to Surabaya or Malang, Bali or Yogyakarta, depending on your option, where the tour ends. It is convenient for travelers continuing their journey across Java.
