You’ll watch the sunrise at Mount Bromo, see the wide sea of clouds, and walk across the sandy desert to the top of an active volcano.

    Happy and grateful

    We are just back from a 2 days wonderful experience. We were able to customise the pick-up in Surabaya train station and drop-off at Ketapang port, so that we were able to continue our journey from Java to Bali. Both Bromo and Ijen have been great, everything has been taken care of to the detail, meeting our need, including a few hours rest in a very nice hotel (looking more like a resort) in Bondowoso. We are very grateful to our guides Yusuf, who followed us all the way, and Tio, who joined us at Ijen: they helped us shaping incredible memories that will stay with us forever. I can but recommend IDN Trip Experiences to everyone interested in living the best this incredible country has to offer, at a very reasonable price

    Stunning views even with the crowds

    Did a 2 day trip covering Bromo and Ijen. Both had gorgeous views, although Ijen was more satisfying for us with its beautiful blue lake, pink and purple sky and sunrise behind one’s back. Both are very doable if one has moderate fitness, with Bromo achievable even if one is less fit. The physically hard part is the 1 am start for both days so consider staying as close to each location as possible. Be prepared for the crowds - Instagrammers abound - including during the rocky path ascent and descent at Ijen which can get dangerous. Patience and calm is much needed, particularly during the long waits at Bromo before going to the sunrise point and also while descending — jeep traffic literally stopped for 90 min for us. Consider bringing a hot drink up to Ijen, it really hits the spot while enjoying the view in the cool weather. Ifa, our guide for the two days was always upbeat and made sure we were well-fed, Yudi, our local guide on Ijen was knowledgeable having been a miner before and Isa, our driver, despite the long drives was always alert and friendly. Would definitely recommend this crew!

    We had a good time at Bromo an Ijen, very good guide!

    Qowin was a very nice guide. We booked a private tour to Bromo and Ijen from Surabaya. The timing at the stops was good and we had a feeling we were in good hands. Although the time in de car is sometimes long, the views on the road are amazing. We would certainly recommend this tour company, and especcially Qowin!

    Everything perfect

    We chose the bromine mountain and Jien mountain option. Everything was perfect, our guide Nadal was always very kind to us and met all our needs. Same for driver Ricky, impeccable. The ascent to Mount Jien is challenging and the path sometimes exposed, once you reach the top you descend to see the Blue Fire, lasts 3 hours the ride, you definitely need training and proper hiking shoes. The Blue Fire pays off, if you are in Indonesia it deserves to be seen

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a perfect experience on our Mount Bromo and Ijen tour. It's wonderful to know that Nadal and Ricky took such great care of you. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words. We appreciate your helpful tips about the Ijen trek as well – it's definitely a rewarding challenge! We hope to see you on another tour soon!

    2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Surabaya.

    How much does 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Surabaya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Surabaya is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Surabaya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Surabaya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Surabaya and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day: Mt Bromo & Kawah Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya & Malang start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Surabaya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Surabaya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Surabaya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surabaya - Mount Bromo – Tumpak Sewu Waterfall – Ijen Bluefire Tour - Bali 4d3n, From Surabaya / Malang : Mt Bromo Sunrise - Ijen Blue Fire 3D2N, 4D3N Bromo Ijen Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Tour from Surabaya/Malang. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Surabaya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Surabaya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
