Day 01

Our adventure begins in the early morning as we depart from your hotel or the Probolinggo train station. As we traverse the picturesque countryside, you'll be spellbound by the rolling hills and verdant landscapes. Upon arrival, we'll embark on a jeep ride to the Penanjakan viewpoint, where you'll witness the awe-inspiring sunrise over the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.

Following this mesmerizing sunrise, our expedition continues as we traverse the Sea of Sand and trek to the Bromo crater. Towering at 2,329 meters, Bromo is an iconic Indonesian mountain, and you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in its rugged beauty.

Day 02

an unforgettable journey through breathtaking Ijen landscapes and captivating experiences.

We kickstart our second day early to witness one of the world's most unique natural phenomena: the blue flames of Ijen's sulfur mines. This rare spectacle can be observed in only a handful of locations globally, with Ijen being one of them. The azure flames result from the ignition of sulfuric gases, creating a mystical and eerie blue radiance.

Following this extraordinary sight, we'll hike to the Ijen crater to behold the stunning turquoise-hued lake. Nestled at the volcano's summit, the view from above is nothing short of breathtaking. We'll dedicate time to exploring the crater and gaining insights into the sulfur mining operations conducted on the mountain.

After our Ijen adventure, we'll journey to the Ketapang Ferry Terminal, where our tour concludes. Here, you can proceed with your onward journey to Bali or other Indonesian destinations. Our team will ensure your safe arrival at the terminal and assist with any necessary arrangements, including transportation from Gilimanuk Ferry Terminal, Bali, to your selected hotel if that option has been chosen.
