Day 3: Morning Drive to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall – Hotel in Banyuwangi Town Area
Tumpak Sewu Waterfall - On the third day, the trip begins at 5 am, as the best time to visit the waterfall is at 7 am, after sunrise, when the view is clearer and the waterfall’s colors are not too bright. With some luck, fog or mist may enhance the surreal quality of photos.
The drive from Lumajang town takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, with a zig-zag route, so comfort preparations are advised. Upon arrival, the breathtaking view of the waterfall will amaze guests. In addition to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Kapas Biru Waterfall can also be seen. Both are popular for Instagram photos, but caution is advised due to the slippery path and traditional bamboo fence.
Around 11:00 am, guests will be escorted back to the car for a 6-hour drive to the hotel in the Banyuwangi area, in preparation for the midnight trek to Ijen Crater.
Day 4: Ijen Blue Flame Tour – Drive to Your Hotel in Bali
