experience started from the planning phase of the trip and Tour Mount Bromo Travel Agency did a great job in helping us with itinerary. We reached layar resto in Surabaya, Indonesia where our guide, kecheng and my driver dodik, was waiting to welcome us. He was friendly and accommodating through the journey; one of the best guides that we had in our many travels overseas. Thank you, kecheng for the epic trip. It is definitely an adventure of a lifetime.We had an amazing trip with our fantastic driver Yayak. We travelled around Bromo, Ijen and waterfalls. View was breathtaking.

We had an amazing trip with our fantastic driver Yayak. We travelled around Bromo, Ijen and waterfalls. View was breathtaking. Yayak helps us to find perfect places for watching milky way and sun rise at Bromo. We luckily saw the Ijen blue fire as well. And we had so much fun swimming in the grand waterfall. Really hope to be here again.Amazing experience, highly recommend! Day 1, we started off going to Madakaripura Waterfall and spent a fantastic day walking around the waterfalls.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! Day 1, we started off going to Madakaripura Waterfall and spent a fantastic day walking around the waterfalls. We traveled by van but took an awesome motorbike ride to the short walk. Make sure to bring a poncho and secure shoes to walk in that are waterproof. Stayed at Atria which was a decent stay. Day 2 we woke up very early to visit Tumpak Sewu Waterfall which was absolutely magnificent! We were greeted by a beautiful rainbow hovering by the falls. Highly recommend wearing clothing that can get completely soaked and a plastic bag for your phone. This hike was really fun but requires good water shoes or hiking shoes that can get soaked. We also checked out the caves! Stayed at bromo hotel which was not the best but we only stayed for 3 hrs. Day 3 woke up again very early to see mount bromo. It was very cold so bring lots of warm layers, we ended up buying the toques they offered which were quite warm and great souvenir! The view was pretty cloudy but the sunrise above the clouds was still awesome! We took a jeep to the sea of sand and rode some horses to the crater of the volcano. Stayed at el hotel royale which was definitely the best hotel! Day 4 went to see Ijen and it was a very dark hike and quite difficult to see in the dark. We had to wear gas masks as the sulphur burns. Not our most favourite part of the trip but the hike coming down the other side was magneficient seeing the green lush mountains. Overall an amazing trip and so glad we took it! Sherry the coordinator was super helpful throughout the process. All our guides across the activities were really helpful and so wonderful to connect with. Thank you again to Yayak our driver for making this trip so special! He introduced us to so many Indonesia snacks and food and transported us safely every day! Thank you for your jokes and we will miss you dearly!Local tour guide Rama was great and everything scheduled was satisfactory overall.

Local tour guide Rama was great and everything scheduled was satisfactory overall. However, should you be looking for a Milky Way tour just like I did, do not go in October. Only go in June / July. I went over on recommendation from Tour Mount Bromo Singapore that October is not a rainy season, however, it turned out that it was raining & the fog was so thick that seeing the Milky Way was impossible, so the money paid for the tour was wasted as we stayed in the hotel instead and didn’t even go up the mountains. Photographing Mount Bromo / seeing the sunrise was impossible too as from king kong hill, everything was shrouded in fog. I just wished that Tour Mount Bromo could have better advised us. 4 points because of the lovely local tour guide.This is not your conventional tour where you travel with huge groups. You are practically travelling alone with whoever you bring along and the guide. This makes your experience much more personal and heartfelt.

This is not your conventional tour where you travel with huge groups. You are practically travelling alone with whoever you bring along and the guide. This makes your experience much more personal and heartfelt. You have the power to decide the time to cater to your needs. In other words, time is flexible so that you can really enjoy and make use of your time to experience the sceneries without the need to rush for time unlike a conventional tour. Back in Singapore, contacting Tour Mount Bromo (TMB) team via WhatsApp was quite a smooth journey and convenient. Sherry was very patient in answering to my never-ending inquiries and doubts. Agung, the representative of TMB Indonesia, also assured that if I had any issues I could reach out to him. I travelled with my parents for this trip. Hadi was the person we spent most of the time with. He was our driver and tour guide for Bromo. He is very approachable and easy to communicate with. He is also cohesive in time planning and honest in giving suggestions and recommendations. He is very professional and lets us take our time The tour guides he engaged us with for Tumpak Sewu and Kawah Ijen were also remarkable and understanding. Tips for future travellers considering to embark on this journey. Be prepared for long car rides as East Java is huge and travelling time could take awhile, traffic jams making it worse. Use the time to catch up on your sleep and also talk to the driver! Nothing beats deep and thoughtful conversations. Tumpak Sewu hike is not for the faint-hearted. It requires stamina and confidence in navigating through the slippery terrain. Fret not, the guide will be there to help you. The view is totally it! If my mid-50s parents could do it, so can you! Just wear waterproof, non-slippery footwear and you are good to go. We opted for Milky Way package for Bromo and it was a breathtaking experience. Imagine you are in the middle of the sea of sand in pitch black darkness surrounded by blanket of stars above you. I was in awe and speechless for the first few moments. Yes, you can see the stars with your naked eyes but in order to capture that moment digitally you have to use a proper camera. Then, we proceed with the sunrise viewing. Unfortunately, we did not go to Madakaripura waterfall as we were already exhausted by then and time is of the essence for us to make our way to Banyuwangi, Kawah Ijen area. I hiked Kawah Ijen alone with the guide as my parents were still too tired. The trek pavement is actually better than I anticipated. It was long but doable. The views were so stunning. You are actually surrounded with views of different mountains. Will I visit East Java again? Definitely! I actually recommend to go for a week or more to really explore the region as Indonesia is full of wonders and also to have ample time to rest as 4 days felt a bit tiring and rushed.Thank you for an eye-opening tour! Our tour took us to Madakaripura Falls, Mount Bromo, Tumpak Sewu and Kawah Ijen. (Tip: plan your trip on a weekday for better traffic without massive local crowd).

Thank you for an eye-opening tour! Our tour took us to Madakaripura Falls, Mount Bromo, Tumpak Sewu and Kawah Ijen. (Tip: plan your trip on a weekday for better traffic without massive local crowd). Kudos to Sherry for the pre-trip discussions and arrangements. She was our point of contact in SG. She helped us review our site requests and provided much feedback on how we can improve the flow of the trip. When we arrived in Surabaya, Agung, our local point of contact, provided much assurance when he contacted us straight away. Special shout-out to our driver and awesome guide - Yayak! Thanks to him, we had much flexibility of time at all four attractions, and yet reach our next spot as planned. We also had a taste of great local cuisine and culture on his recommendations. TLDR: he fullfilled all our requests to the best he can. Thank you Yakak! Will recommend this tour to those who want to see the best of Bromo/Ijen!!
