Itinerary

Your Jeep driver picks you up from your Malang hotel or homestay at 1am and drives you through the night to Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Numbers are capped at just five travelers, so pickups are quick and timely.

At the park, your driver buys your entrance tickets and brings you to the sunrise viewpoint. You arrive in good time to find a spot to watch the sunrise and marvel at volcanic peaks wreathed in morning mist.

Next, transfer to the crater for some light trekking—a simple breakfast box and water is included. Then travel to the Sand Sea to capture photos of sands, horsemen, and savannah.

On your way back to Malang, there’s a stop at Rainbow Waterfall, a single-fall cascade that often forms a rainbow on sunny days. If you wish to visit, tickets are at your own expense.

You’re back at your hotel or homestay around midday.

Sophie_C, Oct 2025
We had the most magical time on this tour! Our driver Hari made us feel incredibly safe over the long, windy road up the mountain and we made it to the viewing area in plenty of time to see the sunrise over Bromo. I would recommend bringing your warmest clothes and a scarf to combat the dust when you trek to the crater but all in all we genuinely couldn’t be happier - thank you!

Erin_F, Aug 2025
Amazing experience! The tour was well organized: communication went smoothly, the pick-up was on time and our guide helped us get around at the viewpoint. The views were, of course, incredible and we stopped at all the best spots. The highlight of the tour was our driver Ari: not only was he a really nice guy, but he was also exceptionally skilled behind the wheel, which made us feel safe even on rough terrain.

Fascinating views, a must do activity

Ivars_D, Nov 2024
We were the first at the view point, other groups were later (and there were many people). There are only a few spots in the first row and you should be there if you want to take the perfect photos. It is gonna be freezing and you are going to stand there for 90 minutes. After that you are going to hike uphill to a volcanic crater. It is definitely worth it, just be ready for a miserable ride in an extremely uncomfortable 4×4 vehicle.

Beautiful but long day

Sydney_C, Aug 2024
Really awesome day, although very early start as we knew. Picked up around 12:45am and hit a lot of traffic on the way back (not their fault at all of course but keep in mind if that is a travel day for you!). Freezing * at the top since you arrive at least an hour before sunrise and wind is very cold, was like 40F and windy, but they have people who offer coat rentals for 20-30 thousand rupiah (like 1 USD) and I really recommend getting this. As someone from the north east America, I was cold! But the sunrise was gorgeous so I definitely recommend! Many other solo travelers as well so easy to meet people

A good experience

Thomas_T, Jul 2024
Our driver picked us up on time from our accommodation and we were at the meeting point where we joined other tours in good time, too early perhaps as there was a long wait before sunrise, but this is obviously to mitigate against any circumstances that may cause a late arrival. After sunrise the drive back to the sea of sand was long due to very bad traffic but the driver made a couple of stops for viewpoints which was appreciated. Free hot drink and banana at the cafe before sunrise was also a nice touch. The walk to Bromo across the sea of sand was not too difficult but a reasonable level of fitness is required. Bring a face mask as the sand/dust can make it hard to breathe. There are lots of locals asking if you would like to ride a horse up to the steps to the crater, please refuse this, the horses are clearly not kept in good conditions. The vehicle wasn't the most comfortable, even when on paved roads, but it's a price to pay for being able to navigate off road. Our driver was friendly enough despite his limited English, and we arrived back at our hotel on time. Don't expect anything too special, these tours run every day for thousands of tourists, but overall a good experience that we would recommend.

Staff super nice, it was...

genny_p, Jun 2024
Staff super nice, it was a great experience, with an amazing sunrise, worth the early start. Very cold. But the waterfall that was in the program didn't happen, after the volcano they drove us back to Malang dropping us at our hotel.

Exotic and beautiful volcanos, but too crowded

Eddie_P, May 2024
Our guide Andi and our driver were friendly, punctual, and professional. We got up to the viewing point in no time thanks to our skilled driver's ability to drive off-road in zero visibility fog. It was very crowded and busy with hundreds of other people gathered for the sunrise. From the viewing point, it's dark enough to see the Milky Way! We were lucky because the weather gave us clear skies for breathtaking views of Mt. Bromo along with picturesque low lying clouds surrounding the caldera. What I do want to point out, however, is the experience is very commercialized. It is peak season so there are many tourists. But it was sad to see how tourists, many who had just come from Bali, left piles of trash all over the national park. Mt. Bromo is a national treasure of Indonesia. It deserves more respect from it's visitors. Also, because of too many tourists who cannot be bothered to trek across the sand sea, vendors have brought horses to shuttle tourists to and from the base of the caldera. We witnessed these horses being abused, yelping in pain, and basically forced to carry tourists to the point of exhaustion. I'm thankful for our driver and guide and support local tour operators who have a business to run. But I really think Mt. Bromo has become a tourist trap and a lot of the problems with over-tourism in Bali is overflowing into Java now.

Amazing experience

Steve_C, May 2024
Having read other reviews and done a little research i was highly delighted by just how much fun , how careful and how well organised this tour was. My driver Hari (hope that's how you spell it) was bang on time and a brilliant driver , he knows how to navigate the tricky terrain even in the dark when other companies appeared to be racing around and rushing. We seemed to get the best parking spot and viewing spot for the sun rise with our guide. We stopped at a warung for drinks and fried banana. The area is so beautiful and the sunrise stunning , it's incredibly busy so go with these guys they organise it well. After sunrise we explored a little for photos and other viewpoints recommended by our guide. We stopped at another viewpoint on our decent for photos before heading down to the savanna and to the caldera/rim . This too well organised and a beautiful place. All I can say is book with this lot you won't be disappointed they really put the effort it and make it a special experience.

Good Value

David_H, Mar 2024
Visited three nice sites and had a great guide. This tour is a really good value, but avoid the rainy season.

Amazing Place a must do!

Kumar_P, Feb 2024
The place is beautiful and awesome however the mad rush and traffic kinda takes the fun away from the trip.The view wasn’t great because of overcast conditions and rain, which was a known risk which I took. Nothing wrong with the tour operator though. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you take the pains to get up at the middle of the night and travel in not so comfortable cars (only rugged 4x4 can be used), plan it in dry season. Another concern I have is that the drivers go up every day, which means they sleep only for few hours when they drop you for hikes. This might have adverse effects on their health and safety of travelers

In search of sunrise

PingOnn_M, Dec 2023
The convoy of jeeps and 4x4 racing through the valleys and up the hills in darkness towards Mt Bromo was an exhilarating experience.

Perfect!

Bernarda_B, Oct 2023
Everything was perfect, very good organized, very friendly driver, it was a memorable experience I would do it again. It is very cold at the sunrise point,so you may consider renting a jacket or just stay in the hut until the sun rises :)

Most beautiful view

Louis_J, Aug 2023
Incredible Guide, Andy was the best and knows the best spots! we went up really early but it was worth it!

Very happy with the tour

Jolan_F, Aug 2023
Very friendly driver and guide (who joined at the view point). They brought us at the best spot at the view point. We were the first to arrive there. We were a bit afraid to book an organized tour at first. We usually prefer to do things on our own but we ended up very happy with it. We definitely recommend.

Stunning Bromo

Peter_C, Jun 2023
Very safe driver and friendly attentive guide. FJ40 Land Cruiser is super cool and Bromo sunrise is simply spectacular. Opted to stop at a waterfall on the way back to Malang which was well worth a visit too.

Great trip

Callum_N, May 2023
Very good all round, we had a guide in our car, he was funny and very informative throughout the whole trip:) Just be warned, it’s a very long day! But totally worth it

Amazing trip!

Matthieu_H, Nov 2022
We booked this tour as a group of 5 friends, all 20 yo. Our guide was amazing! We had a guide for us 5, there weren't other people with us. Our guide was very nice and funny, explained us many things about the mount, took us to the best places for taking pictures. The sunrise on the mountains was very beautiful! We had a delicious breakfast included in the price we paid for the tour. Our guide took us to places with a great view where they weren't other tourists! He really knew the place. After, he brought us to a waterfall and we only had to pay the entry ticket. This was a wonderful experience!

Great driver who made sure to pick us up early so we could be among the first jeep at the top so we could see the sunrise from the highest point! It was really a magical experience!

Experiencia super increible

jairo_c, Sep 2024
La experiencia fue increible. El operador muy cumplido con los tiempos de recogida y finalizacion del tour. Se cumplieron todas las expectativas que teniamos con mi esposa. Gracias

Una experiencia increíble con un gran driver y un gran guía

Amaia_R, Sep 2024
Una experiencia única. El driver nos pide explicar algunas cosas durante el camino, y el guía de después hizo un gran trabajo. Gracias!

Straordinaria

Sri_H, Dec 2023
Bellissima esperienza molto emozionante tutto il percorso è molto ben organizzato per vivere una giornata molto intensa.

Génial, Magnifique, je recommande ce tour.

jeanbaptiste_s, Nov 2023
Super Expérience & Belle Aventure! Je voyage seul et ça a donc été pour moi l'occasion de rencontrer en plus d'autres voyageurs. En effet, nous sommes partis dans la nuit et immédiatement, ces petits détails forment et resserrent les liens du groupe car on partage immédiatement quelque chose de peu commun. Le trajet en 4x4 est en lui même une expérience, puis la montée jusqu'au sommet pour prendre place pour voir le levé du jour, ensuite la descente pour s'approcher du volcan, bref, tout s'est super bien passé avec un guide super sympa, au top même, donc je recommande ce tour à tout le monde. TOP!!!

Experiencia inolvidable y muy bien organizada

MaraJos_R, Aug 2023
La actividad en fue impresionante. Fueron muy puntuales. En todo el momento, el chico que hizo de guía nos iba explicando. Nos llevó a un punto y nos colocó en un lugar en el que mejor se veía el amanecer. Se adaptó a nuestros horarios y preferencias.

Tolle Erfahrung

LucaMarie_C, Aug 2023
Die Aussichten waren atemberaubend und der Guide war super nett und zuvorkommend. Das frühe Aufstehen hat sich gelohnt, wir würden es genauso nochmal machen.

Superbe

Antoine_G, Aug 2023
Tres belle expérience, la vue panoramique sur le mont Bromo au lever du soleil ainsi que la montée au cratère. Trip très bien organisé avec la collation la nuit

Prachtige ervaring!

Hendrik_D, Jul 2023
Leuke tour met een kleine club (2 stellen dus 4 personen) Aardige gids ook. Je begint 's ochtends vroeg om half 1, na een lange Jeep-tocht, op een uitzichtpunt waar je een warme koffie of chocolademelk krijgt. Vervolgens loop je nog een klein stukje naar het uitzichtpunt en kan het wachten op de zon beginnen... Als het helder weer is is het uitzicht op de Bromo en omgeving echt fenomenaal. Onze gids bleek ook een bijzonder goede fotograaf! :-) Vervolgens gingen we met de Jeep naar een ander uitzichtpunt alvorens we naar de krater afdaalden. Hier konden we zelf rondlopen en hebben we de steile klim (de vulkaan op) gewaagd! Onderweg stinkt het wel regelmatig naar paardenpoep van de vele paarden die er heen en weer lopen met de toeristen die niet het hele stuk willen lopen.. Na 1,5 uur ging de tocht weer verder en gingen we naar de twee laatste uitzichtpunten (één voor een foto met de jeep en één voor uitzicht op 'Teletubbie Hill'). Hierna is er eventueel nog een optie om (tegen betaling) een waterval te bezoeken langs de route, maar wij hebben ervoor gekozen dit niet te doen aangezien we al best moe waren van het vroege opstaan en de inspanning. Er zijn (betaalde) toiletten aanwezig, zowel bij het uitzichtpunt als bij de krater. Een veroeiende, maar top dag!

Imprescindible

Brbara_G, Mar 2023
La excursión es muy guay, la recomendamos totalmente!! Es una excursión dura, puesto que tienes que no dormir/levantarte muy temprano y vuelves bastante tarde (de 00:30 a 12 aprox). Hay que esperar un par de horas hasta que amanece, pero si no se va temprano coger sitio puede ser un reto. La subida al volcán no es nada costosa y la vista del cráter es espectacular. Te paran en otro par de spots donde el paisaje es genial y por último, si quedan fuerzas, te llevan a ver una cascada. Nuestro guía y nuestro conductor eran un amor. Lo pasamos genial :)
