Trust in Bromobacpackers for your trip!
If you are thinking about doing a tour from Bali-Surabaya Ijen-Bromo 3D/2N Bromobacpackers are the best! The manager explained me everything before the trip, he sent me the itinerary and we discussed some changes with him. Finally we had a really good trip! every driver and guide were really great and they were on time every activity we had. Hotels are good and they manage everything. We recommend Bromobacpackers to everyone!

Unforgettable experience with highly professional tour operator!
Bromo Backpackers is a very professional tour operator. My husband and I went from Malang to Bali while visiting Bromo and Kawah Ijen. From the pick-up point in our hotel in Malang until the drop-off in Uluwatu, Bali, we were never alone, always guided by someone. Our drivers, Iqbal (Java), Heri (Jeep in Bromo) and Kade (Bali) are very nice and experienced, our guides Heri (Bromo) and Suci (Ijen) took care of us very well, they are very patient and master all the security instructions and the informations about Bromo and Ijen respectively ! Finally, our porter in the ferry from Java to Bali, Syakur, helped and guided us during the crossing. This fine team is coordinated by Nico that always updates is by WhatsApp and makes sure that everything goes well. We also got the personal touch for the St Valentine’s Day, a very beautiful chocolate. I HIGHLY recommend Bromo Backpackers !

Amazing experience. Highly recommend.
We did the 3D2N Bromo and Ijen excursion with pickup up from Surabya and drop off in Bali. Right from the start, the communication with Nico was fantastic. He was very responsive and provided lots of information about the tour. It was very well organised. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Our driver Etong was great, making sure we got to each of our points of destination. Our guides for Bromo (Harry) and Ijen (Jin) were very kind and knowledgeable people. A credit to the company. They were both fairly tough climbs but well worth the views from the top. I would also highly recommend you swing by Madakaripura waterfall if it's available as an option to you. It's on the way from Surabaya to Bromo. I would highly recommend using Bromo Backpackers if you are looking for a reliable company to take you on a Bromo/Ijen excursion.

3-days great East Java / Bali tour
First of all we need to give a compliment to the choice for the second resort we stayed in; Jogli, Ijen. We had room D01 and we felt like king and queen. Secondly; the drivers were great, didn’t take risks but manoeuvred easily through the traffic on Java and Bali. Third; the Bromo tour was early but great. The guide was good, English language might need some improvement, but fine enough.The very early up made sense to the tour and the followed tour. Just the day before the Bromo climb on our way to Bromo Java driver Iqbal offered us unannounced a great waterfall experience, something we didn’t want to miss. Fourth; Ijen tour - although the drive was very long and the weather was not in our advance to see the lake in the crater , it was worth it standing up super early. Fifth; as it was our intention to visit Bali anyway, it was great that the tour had foreseen the ferry to the island from Java with porter and driver taking care of us until our final destination in Ubud, Bali. All in all, a great 3-days tour , not the cheapest, I. Am the best.

Great Experience and perfect organisation!
My wife and I were really looking forward to this tour and had high expectations - because it wasn't particularly “cheap”. But we were not disappointed and it was definitely worth the money. First of all, we would like to mention that the agency was always very responsive and helpful and always answered us very quickly. On pick-up at our hotel in Surabaya we were greeted by our very nice driver, Itong, and someone from the organization team. Drinks and snacks were provided for us in the car - the seats could be reclined so that we could also sleep a little. Unfortunately, it wasn't clear the whole time whether we would be able to visit the Ijen volcano, as it had been showing increased activity since July. However, the agency responded really well and gave us alternative suggestions. We then decided on a waterfall tour on day 1 and to cut the trip one day short. The refund for the day was given to us directly on pick-up. The waterfall was called Madakaripura and is definitely worth a trip! After arriving at the parking lot, you continue by motorcycle, then walk a short distance through low rivers in the countryside before arriving at the beautiful waterfall. Luckily there weren't many other tourists around and we were able to enjoy the waterfall (200 meters). You should bring waterproof shoes and a rain cape if you don't want to get wet, but we didn't mind. The locals also sell flip-flops and capes if you forget. The nature there really was a highlight :) Our driver then took us to the hotel so that we could set off for Bromo early in the morning (02:30) the next day. The hotel “Lava Lodge” is nothing special, the rooms are only ok, but you definitely have the best view of all hotels in the area. The hotel wasn't that important to us in this case - there's a separate review for that. We were then picked up from our hotel room at 02:30 by our guide Heri. Heri was a treasure, he did such a great job and was very kind and helpful. Not pushy and made our tour to Bromo something special. He took us past the crowds of other tourists to a spot with an absolutely astonishing view. While waiting there in the dark for the sunrise we had lovely conversations and a great time. Bring warm clothes! Its really chilly until sunrise ;) But the view is worth the wait and the (slight) freezing. Incredible! After the sunrise you go down again by jeep into the "sea of sands" (the valley around bromo) and take a 1km walk to the volcano and then again around 500m up the volcano. As this was our first volcano visit it was really something special. After the visist we got taken back to our hotel and had breakfast and a shower. Then our driver Itong took us on a long and hard drive to the ferry from Ketapang to Gilimanuk (Bali). Indonesian roads and traffic are definitely something to get used to... In Gilimanuk we again got picked up by a driver and drove another 4 hours in the dark to Ubud. The drive was not so pleasant as it was pouring rain and the driver was taking risky passing maneuvers. But we talked to him and he adjusted. Overall, i can only recommend this tour. The organization was perfect! Everything was taken care of, perfect communication and we felt comfortable and had a great time!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Surabaya.
How much does Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $312 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 Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Surabaya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour?
+
Around 10 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour 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.
What is included in Surabaya Bromo Ijen Drop Bali 3-Day Private Tour?
