Explore volcano Bromo - start Surabaya // 2 days 1 night

The actually office is located in Malang city, 90 km south of Surabaya city.

That can be anywhere as longs as it is in the city. You will need about 3 hours to reach Cemara Lawang village, as it is not the distance, but Java's traffic conditions that will slow you down.  On route from Surabaya to Cemara Lawang village you will visit the enchanting Madakaripura waterfalls. These waterfalls are a hidden treasure and holy to the local Tengger Hindu people. Once the car parked it is a 15 min motorbike ride (with driver) to the entrance of the waterfall. From the entrance it is an fairly easy 30 min walk one way. But, be ready to get wet. Once can only visit the waterfalls when it isn't raining of hasn't been raining heavily as then the water flow off the waterfall is too dangerous to get near.

Beautiful views from this village guaranteed. Explore local village life, drink a cup of coffee or tea in a local home, meet the farmers out in the field, visit the local market. And best of it all, you will get to see the sunset (of course depending on weather conditions)....

You will be driven to one of the highest and most famous viewpoints, namely Penanjakan. If weather conditions permits you to, you can see the sunrise at an altitude of 2.770 m. On clear days, you can also see the highest mountain on Java, Mount Semeru, and the Java Sea north of mount Bromo.

You will be heading down mount Penanjakan and into the Sand Sea. The black volcanic ashen Sea of Sand is a long stretch of about 10 km and borders the Bromo volcano at the northern side. If you wish to walk in this moonlike landscape, ask the driver to stop the Jeep.

Then it is a 45 min hike one way to the top of mount Bromo. Onroute you will pass the Luhur Poten temple. Most often it is closed, but when open just ask to take a look inside.

n the environment, take loads of time to look at this impressive landscape. Be careful at the crater rim.

And, have a refreshing shower and maybe a short rest before checking out. Then you will be heading back to Surabaya city.
