Highlights
  • Surabaya - You will pick up by our professional driver and tour guide from any hotel in Surabaya or Malang city around 11.45 pm, then continue travel to Mount Bromo area (Sukapura or Tosari). When arriving, you will transfer to 4WD Jeep then heading to Sunrise View Point, our tour guide will be with you.
  • Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park - Penanjakan Viewpoint or King Kong Hill is the best viewpoint to witness the sunrise. The temperature is quite around 7-10 degrees Celcius If you want something to keep you warm you’ll find lots of street-side stalls along the way that sell noodles, corn on the cob, coffee, and tea (Include).

Penanjakan Hill and King Kong Hill are always crowded with tourists waiting to watch the sunrise. The crowds normally gather on the far left side of the viewpoint, which is where the sun rises. However, the best views of Mount Bromo (especially if you are a photographer) are actually from the far right-hand side of the viewpoint, which is almost always empty. Don’t worry your guide will lead your way. The best time to take photos of Mount Bromo is the first 15 minutes after sunrise while the mists hang low over the valley and clouds top the volcano.

Once you’ve watched the sunrise over Bromo you will return to the jeep then drive down to Bromo Crater. The driver will drop you off 2 kilometers away from the crater, locals on horseback will rush up to greet you as you get out of the jeep and offer you a horseback ride to the crater. It takes about 45-minutes on foot to cross the sea sand to reach the crater rim then takes a short 15-minute hike up the stairs to reach the rim of Bromo Crater. After climbing Mount Bromo, you will back to Tosari or Sukapura where your driver is waiting for you to back to your departure point (Malang or Surabaya). This tour ends around 11.30 am.

Must do in East Java - I did the tour with Nadal, and I had a great experience. I was able to get all the pictures I wanted and the full Bromo experience. When visiting East Java, Bromo is a must do activity, and Nadal does a great job. He was able to answer all my questions about Java/Indonesia and gave me more recommendations on what to do in Malang. One of the highlights of my Indonesia trip

Amazing Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I feel compelled to share my glowing review of the tour company and my guide, Nadal. Throughout the journey, Nadal seamlessly balanced guiding and photography assistance, showcasing his extensive knowledge of Mount Bromo and other Indonesian tourist hotspots. He ensured my comfort and safety at every turn, never failing to check in on my well-being. Both the drivers, to and from the hotel, as well as the 4x4 driver, were exceptionally amiable and accommodating, readily stopping for breaks whenever necessary. Additionally, the breakfast provided was in a nice place with amazing view. Overall, my experience was flawlessly executed, thanks to the professionalism and friendliness of Nadal and the entire tour team.

Simply the best - We are a family of 3, all mature adults. It was a very tiring journey to get there from Surabaya, but it was totally worth it. The private tour worked for us as we were seeking more comfort. The driver and a guide were very young pairs, but courteous. The climbing to the crater would have been a real challenge without a horse's help. I see the young and fit had no problem getting up there, but I was glad I got help. The view to the mountain and crater from sunrise was something I would never forget. So please find time to do the tour when you are in Indonesia. It's only a one hour flight from Bali to Surabaya, or you can travel closer to the town near the Bromo. Highly recommend it.

Epic Sunrise Experience - We did the sunrise Bromo Tour through our travel Agent, Happy Trails. The Bromo area is full of nicely restored, vintage Toyota Land Cruisers. Our driver, an owner of an excellent medium blue example, came to our hotel to meet us at 3:00 AM. Soon, we were in a convoy of Land Cruisers making their way up the winding roads through the darkness to the view point. From area where he parked, we had to walk about a mile up the concrete pass. We came across a guide that offered to take us up to a superior viewing area. It was worth it, as we had an unobstructed view on the edge of the rim overlooking the biggest crater that contains the Mt. Bromo caldera and other volcanic mounds. Thankfully, the clouds settled down into the valley, giving us a good view of the steaming volcano in the morning light. The driver's have your name taped to the rear window to aid finding your Land Cruiser among the many parked in the area. From there we drove back down into the big crater, driving across the dry lake-bed in the fog, to do the 3 mile hike to the caldera rim. There is the option to take a horse to the caldera, but we enjoyed the walk. It was very scenic and we got back after such an adventure, to a nice breakfast at the hotel by 9:00 AM. It was definitely worth it to get up at 2:30 AM

Spectacular. Must do. - Had an incredible experience on our mount bromo sunrise tour. Our guide was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and also ensured we found great spots to view the sunrise even with the crowds (and took great photos of us!). The jeep experience was really fun and there were plenty of opportunities to order hot tea or coffee and small snacks to warm up while waiting for the sunrise once we got to the top. the car was very comfortable so we could sleep on the way there and back. We were even able to arrange a pickup in malang and drop off in surabaya so we could catch our flight out later that day.

Great sunrise, but over-priced - The rise was clearly amazing! But…It kinda hurted when the others on the same jeep showed me that they paid 300K less for the same trip. Tip: inform yourself on travel groups where to find the cheapest deal. They are almost all the same anyway.
