    Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park

    After an early wake-up around 3:30 AM, you'll head off in a 4x4 jeep for the ascent of Mount Bromo (active volcano, 2300 m). You’ll hike a narrow, winding path with 250 steps up to the summit. At the top, take in the breathtaking view of the smoking crater as the first light of day appears – a magical, unforgettable moment. The sunrise over Bromo, surrounded by Batok (extinct, 2400 m) and Semeru (active, 3677 m – Java’s highest volcano), is a stunning sight. After sunrise, cross the "Sea of Sand," a landscape of dust and volcanic ash from past eruptions. Then head to Seruni viewpoint, a quiet spot with panoramic views of the Tengger massif. After a well-deserved breakfast, your journey continues through scenic villages and plantations (coffee, tobacco, rice, etc.) toward Kawah Ijen, with a local lunch along the way. You’ll stay in a comfortable guesthouse near the volcano, where a traditional Javanese dinner awaits to end your day.

    Departure is set for 1:00 AM to reach base camp at 1900 meters. After safety instructions and gear (lamps, gas masks, etc.), you’ll start a 1.5-hour hike with our experienced team along a scenic mountain path under the stars, reaching Kawah Ijen’s summit at 2300 meters. The most spectacular part begins here: in total darkness, descend into the active crater to witness a rare natural wonder—blue flames. Our guides, former miners and sulfur porters, assist you during the descent, ensuring your safety throughout this volcanic experience. At sunrise, discover the world’s largest acid lake—an unforgettable sight. While admiring its turquoise waters, you’ll witness the strength of sulfur workers carrying heavy loads up the crater. After returning to base camp and the guesthouse, enjoy a homemade breakfast from a local Javanese family and a well-earned shower before heading back to Bali. After the ferry crossing, drop-off is available in Pemuteran, Munduk, Ubud, or Seminyak.
