Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen Volcano Tour from Surabaya

Popular Trekking Package Mount Bromo Ijen Tour From Surabaya East Java Indonesia.

Mount Bromo and Ijen Crater are probably the most famous volcanoes on the island of Java, each volcano has its specific attractions.

Mount Bromo is very special with the spectacular sunrise panorama, also the cultural activites of the Tenggernese people make the area very interesting.

And Mount Ijen has its famous blue flame, acid lake and the back breaking activity of the sulfur miners. Bromo – Ijen tour package is designed to see both amazing volcanoes in 3 days 2 nights.

1. How to get there?

Fly into Juanda international airport at Surabaya or Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport (IATA: MLG) at Malang is a small regional airport with flights from Jakarta only and access from here makes sense if you intend to enter the park via the Tumpang/Ngadas route.

2.Nearest Airport? Surabaya or Malang!

For those who are coming from outside Java Island, the most convenient airports to fly into are Surabaya and Malang. I personally prefer Surabaya.

It is one of the major cities in Indonesia, and hence there are more flights, especially international ones, available.

Mount Bromo Ijen Tour From Singapore, Malaysia. There are direct flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Bali. If you are flying domestic from Jakarta, you may take Sriwijaya that flies twice weekly.

3.How long From Surabaya to Mount Bromo then to Kawah Ijen

Distance from Surabaya airport to the Mount Bromo National Park is about 70 km and the time it takes is around 4 hours due to heavy traffic and congestion.

On the way, you would pass Probolinggo town which lies at the major highway across java. Here is where most backpackers would usually share a transport to take them up to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National park.

Or get a complete overnight sunrise tour from Surabaya to Mt. Bromo and then from Bromo To Banyuwangi (the city of Ijen Crater Located) take about 5-6 hours driving including stop for lunch.

4. When is the Best Time to Visit?

mount bromo tour from surabaya - Bromo Ijen Tour From Surabaya

As for the season to visit – plan to visit both of Mount Bromo And Ijen Crater East Java Indonesia during the dry season.

The dry season in Java, where Mount Bromo is located, is between April to October.

During this time, May to oct are the best months with the chance of least rain. Avoid visiting Mount Bromo between the rainy season since the slippery paths and volcanic mud and can make hiking around the national park difficult.

Also, keep in mind that Mount Bromo is an active volcano. How accessible it is depends on the eruptive status so be sure to check the status before you head over.

Testimonial & Reviews

bromo tour reviw - Bromo Ijen Tour From SurabayaSudeepkh
Bengaluru, India

We were a family of three who travelled on a 3 night tour of Bromo/ Ijen from 22nd to 25th April. We had trouble deciding on a tour operator since all websites give out the same information and look similar. We sent out an initial mail to ijenbromotours.com and received a prompt reply from Devita. Devita replied to all our queries about the itinerary and the costing patiently and even managed to change our hotel bookings to get us the accommodation we requested since we had a eleven year old daughter travelling with us( Jiwa Jawa resort Bromo and Ijen Resort ). the tour cost had to be transferred upfront and the remaining had to be paid to the guide. We were received at the Surabaya train station by our guide Mr. Slamet and our driver Mr. Irfan. Mr. Irfan was a quiet, smiling and capable driver. Mr. Slamet was extremely friendly and patient throughout the tour. He made sure our tour went off without a hitch in spite of a chaotic and busy weekend full of tourists at the Bromo crater even ditching the four wheel drive halfway through the Bromo climb to arrange for Ojeks(local bike taxis) for us to reach the viewpoint just before sunrise. Though the clouds masked the sunrise the view from the top was breathtaking. We even crossed the sea of sand to reach the rim of the Bromo crater. To peek into the bowels of the earth was a surreal experience. From there was a six hour drive to Ijen and an early morning (1 AM ) three hour trek to the Ijen crater to see the blue fire. Mr. Slamet had thoughtfully brought along good quality gas masks for all of us. He was happy for us at our delight on seeing the blue fire. At the end of the tour they dropped us off at the ferry port even ensuring that a person accompanied us on the ferry journey to the port in Bali where a taxi was waiting to transfer us to Bali airport. We would recommend GWI travels for anyone looking for a reliable tour operator for the Bromo Ijen tour.

Ijen Bromo Tours, based in Banyuwangi, created a great 5-day travel package for us.
Gigeh & Devita have been amazing in communicating and arranging a once in a lifetime adventure for us!

From the start of requesting quotes and information, the booking process, pre-payment, our guide and driver, the itinerary and sights – right till the end when we were dropped at our hotel in Bali… everything ran super smooth and we were looked after very well.

We were met by our driver (Mr Usup) and our (very well) English speaking guide (Mr Slamet) at our hotel in Surabaya.
Our journey DAY 1 took us to the Madakaripura Waterfall and on to our hotel in Bromo. We were made aware in advance that accommodation in these remote areas are basic, so nothing ever came as a bad surprise.
DAY 2 we saw the sun rise – a spectacular view of Mt Bromo, and then drove over the caldera and climbed to the rim of Mt Bromo. This was the highlight of my whole Java trip.
We then drove to Kalibaru Highlands and spent a lovely day at the Margo Utomo Agro Resort. The next morning, DAY 3, we travelled to Sukumade … a 4-hour rough 4WD journey that took us through rivers and valleys to reach the Ranger’s accommodation in a very remote area. The accommodation here is VERY basic, but the experience of seeing the Green Turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night, and releasing the Tukik (baby turtles) the next morning, makes it all worth while. Day 4, Our last stretch was to Ketapang Indah Hotel in Banyuwangi (more modern 3* resort by the beach). We spent most of the day catching up on sleep, as we needed to meet our guide and driver at 12H30 to depart for our Kawah Ijen Blue Flame tour – another once in a lifetime experience. After our Kawah Ijen experience, we were taken back to the hotel to enjoy breakfast, freshen up and check out. DAY 5 we were transported and assisted right to the ferry to Gilimanuk. At Gilimanuk we were met by the transport provider who drove us for 4 hours (with a lunch stop) to our hotel in Ubud.

Ijen Bromo Tours arrange all this for us and we were very pleased. Great service, good value and trustworthy!
Thank you Gigeh, Devita, Mr Usup & Mr Slamet – you provided us with an experience of a lifetime. Find it on: tripadvisor
