Mt. Bromo - 2392 m tall and not the highest at all - is one of three volcanoes in an ancient caldera, that stretches 10 km across. Only Mt. Bromo's cone is active. It stands in a sea of ashen volcanic sand, surrounded by the towering cliffs of the crater’s edge.
Come along on the Bromo sunset tour to experience Bromo to the fullest, with relaxed departure after breakfast.

Your driver will pick you up at your hotel in Surabaya at 10:00, or at Juanda International Airport.
It is a 3 to 4 hours drive to Cemara Lawang village. If you like, you can visit the Madakaripura waterfalls about 1 hour before Cemara Lawang. It is a short easy walk, but be ready to get wet...
Once in Cemara Lawang you will have to change cars to a 4wd Jeep. It will be a short drive into the sand sea. The Jeep will park near Luhur Poten temple. This Hindu temple is still actively used by the Tengger people living near mount Bromo. During several important ceremonies, people from all over Indonesia - and even the world - travel to Bromo to attend the rite.
Bromo is an active volcano. It only takes 45 min to hike to the crater rim. Take your time in this superb moonlike greyish-grey landscape.
Last but not least is the viewpoint at mount Pananjakan. One of the highest viewpoints in the area. The weather conditions determine the scenery when the sun sets.
Meet your driver when ready. He will bring you back to Cemara Lawang, where you will change back to your first more comfortable car to return to Surabaya.
