Kabupaten Sidoarjo Trip Overview
The magnificent Bromo is East Java’s icon and one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking sites. A lunarlike landscape of epic proportions. Not to be missed and actually easily visited from Bali. This private tour takes just 1 day.
Mount Bromo is one of the three volcanoes that emerged from a vast crater, stretching 10 km across. The crater is partly covered by a black ashen volcanic Sea of Sand and partly a savanna; green during the raining season and golden during the dry season.
Overlooking the landscape from Mount Pananjakan while the sun rises is an incredible moment. Weather conditions and season dye the colours in the sky.
After the sun has risen you will cross the Sea of Sand and you will have time to spend near Mount Bromo and if possible even to hike to the top of the active volcano Bromo.
On route back to Surabaya the enchanting Madakaripura waterfalls are another refreshing moment.
