Mount Bromo: Tours & Tickets

This is a highly professionally organised guided tour from Surabaya to see the sunrise at Bromo Volcano. There is a tight schedule, which was met on time and highly organised. From getting picked-up at the lobby of our hotel at 11.30 pm sharp to changing the transportation vehicle to a Toyota 4WD at Cemoro Lawang at 3.30 am to getting to the peak point on top of the Bromo Volcano at 4.00 am to see the sunrise at 5.30 am, to taking us to the Sea of Sands at 6.00 am and back to Cemoro Lawang to have breakfast at 8.00 am and return then to Surabaya well ahead of time. Our guide, named Tono, was highly knowledgable about the entire area, and also gave us some background info on Surabaya itself on the return in bright daylight, where we were shown some of the local attractions, e.g. the Monument of the Battle between Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile. This was a TOP experience, which was well organised and absolutely safe. Many thanks to Tono, Heru and the Team!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip from Bali to Java, the guide was good and very entertaining, and the driver was also friendly and made sure we got places on time. Whilst there was a lot of travelling involved to get to these 2 Ijen & Bromo, these long days were definitely worth it. Ijen was cool, but my favorite was going to the Mt Bromo crater, it was so amazing staring into the smoking crater.
