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.

Bromo is amazing thankfully the IDN crew saves the day and makes our trip - We had to book last minute with IDN because another company cancelled on us just 24 hours out. Thankfully IDN came to the rescue.
Nadal our guide created a wonderful experience. His English was top notch and he showed us all of the best spots on the tour. The drivers also rocked, and for someone with motion sickness this is a huge plus, they drove smoothly when everyone else looked like they were playing bumper cars.
You get what you pay for and this was worth every penny!

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

Great trip to Mount Bromo - The tour with Willy, our driver, was a great experience. We were picked up at the hotel at midnight on the dot. Willi is a very entertaining and friendly guide, so the trip was entertaining. The scenery there is unique anyway. Of course, you have to be aware that you won't be alone. But that has nothing to do with the agency. I would book with idn again at any time, especially since the price was very fair and the communication beforehand went smoothly. Thank you very much and all the best

Going for "Sunrise trip" with no sunrise? - No time for anything, they hurry all the trip. They texted us the day before the trip that they will pick us up at midnight, so we went to sleep and set alarm for 23:45. When we woke up I had missed calls from our driver who texted me at 23:25 that he is waiting for us. After picking up other people (there were 6 of us in the Jeep) we went for a 3 hour journey to the volcano, but the jeep is so uncomfortable and packed that you simply can’t sleep. We arrived to King Kong Viewpoint at around 3AM, the driver just showed us the direction where to go and stayed at the car. He also told us to be back at the car at 5:30 even though the sunrise time is officially at 5:33. So you arrive at the viewpoint at complete darkness, ahead of other people, and exactly at the moment when it starts to be interesting, when the sky starts to be dark blue and you can see the wonder under you, you should pack and go back to the jeep as the walk to the jeep takes 15 minutes. The driver told us it is because long queues that are on the streets later, but if I woke up at midnight for a sunrise I don’t care about waiting in queue on the way back, I want to see the sunrise as it was precisely the reason for the entire trip… Next stop is a walk to a rim of a volcano, the driver gave us 45 minutes to go there and back. Only the way to the rim took us 35 minutes, how should we enjoy the amazing views if have to rush back? Of course the driver waited for us, but you simply don’t enjoy the time you paid for if you are being rushed all day. We saw a lot of other amazing viewpoints along the way back but we didn’t stop anywhere, not even just for a quick photo.
