A simple and clean guesthouse awaits you with a local dinner, ideal for resting and preparing for the night ascent of Bromo the next morning.

At the top, enjoy breathtaking views of the smoking crater at dawn—a magical moment. Watch the sunrise over Bromo, surrounded by Batok (extinct, 2400 m) and Semeru (active, 3677 m, Java’s highest volcano). After sunrise, cross the “Sea of Sand,” a vast volcanic ash plain. Then visit Seruni viewpoint for panoramic views of the Tengger massif. After breakfast, continue through villages and plantations toward Kawah Ijen, with local lunch en route. Stay at a guesthouse near the volcano, ending the day with a traditional Javanese dinner.
