Once the car parked it is a 15 min motorbike ride (with driver) to the entrance of the waterfall. From the entrance it is an fairly easy 30 min walk one way. But, be ready to get wet.

A great excursion from Surabaya - The discovery of the waterfall is fabulous. We were accompanied by a friendly local guide. The hotel has an extraordinary view of the volcanoes and the sea of sand. The 4x4 circuit is worth the detour. We were accompanied during these two days by a attentive driver.

Bromo relaxed 2D/ 1N - We had a fantastic tour with a lot of fun at the waterfall (be prepared to getting thoroughly wet!) and an unforgettable sunrise in the Bromo region. Thanks to Vinda for organising this trip for us and the quick and smooth communication beforehand. A special thanks goes to our driver Yuli who was super friendly, good humoured and very knowledgeable. It was clear that he knows his way around, knows every bump on the road and all his people. He made the trip very easy for us and explained everything needed in a clear way. Thanks to him we had a fantastic and hassle-free trip. Highly recommended!

Peaceful sunrise hike with guide - Everything about my tour went really well from the pick up at Surabaya airport to the drop off at the train station. I had Mr Budi as my driver and he was a great host and nice guy. What I liked most about this tour company and my experience is I specifically requested a guide take me away from the crowds to enjoy a peaceful sunrise and that is exactly what I got. My guide for the hike was named Lucky and he took me on a cool hike starting in the village in darkness that ended in a perfect spot overlooking Bromo in time for first light. This is one of those situations where local knowledge makes a huge difference and ensures you get the experience you came for. I have already recommended this hiking to sunrise option to friends and would not hesitate to do so again.

Great experience - We really enjoyed the trip. The driver was great with good driving skills, funny,and personable. Waterfall was awesome. Pro tip bring flip flops and a serious water poncho. Give the guide your cell phone camera for the best Instagram photos. Hotel at Bromo, food is ok. Bring a warm jacket, or rent it from the hotel at a reasonable price. Bring a face mask to filter out the dust at the crater.
