>Trip Highlights<

✓ Bali to East Java Shared Journey
Start from selected meeting points in South Bali and cross the Bali Strait by ferry before continuing to the Probolinggo meeting point. The shared arrangement allows participants travelling on the same route to join one coordinated trip.

✓ Mount Bromo Sunrise & Volcanic Landscape
Explore the Bromo area by shared 4WD Jeep, visit a sunrise viewpoint, cross the vast Sea of Sand, and climb the stairs toward the crater rim. The surrounding mountains and volcanic terrain create one of East Java’s most recognisable landscapes.

✓ Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Exploration
Visit Tumpak Sewu, a spectacular waterfall surrounded by a semicircular wall of green cliffs. Enjoy the panoramic viewpoint and, subject to weather and safety conditions, descend toward the lower waterfall area for a closer look at the cascading water.

✓ Banyuwangi Overnight Stay
Travel to Banyuwangi after the Tumpak Sewu excursion and rest before the Ijen trekking activity. The overnight stay helps prepare you for the early departure required for the crater hike.

Trek through the volcanic landscape of Ijen and enjoy views of the crater area and its turquoise-green sulfur lake when conditions allow. The blue fire is a conditional natural attraction and cannot be guaranteed.
