    Interesting excursion !

    We missed the meeting point as it was hectic with people disembarking. Do not go out of terminal gates, the company are just outside the terminal doors holding your name. The guide was very informative and our minibus only had 4 guests which was nice and comfortable. Interesting day but tiring. Included extras which wasnt expecting ( the motorbike rickshaw you took your life in your hands) The coffee and cake at the swanky hotel was delicious and included in the price and gratifying seeing about 70 other cruisers all arrive at the same time at the same hotel to know we had very personal service. The points of interest were varied. The smells even more so......especially at the market . Not good. Generally a longer day than we actually wanted but very good guide with heaps of knowledge.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you found our team easily in the end and enjoyed the comfortable small group experience. We truly appreciate your insights and hope to welcome you again for an even more relaxed experience!

    This was a great excursion in a small group which gave us the opportunity to see more and have a more intimate experience. Betta was an excellent guide! We had a great Indonesian lunch and saw many sites.

    Wow! Amazing day!!!

    Are private tour and guide Laila was amazing!! We had a driver and a tour guide. We were up close and personal and hit so many sites that the big tour buses can’t get to. We travel all over the world and you various tours. We’re on a Viking cruise and the included tours are not rated high. Therefore, we decided to book a tour on our own that was private. if I could give six stars for this tour, I definitely would. Do not hesitate to book it. You come all this way. Do the private tour. We enjoyed it so much and very memorable!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We would just like to share a small clarification for future guests that this tour is actually a shared tour for same cruise passengers. However, on the date tour there were no other participants, so it became a private experience. We always keep our commitment to run the tour even with only 1–2 guests. Thank you again for your kind recommendation!

    Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 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 Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 63 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 Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers?

    +

    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 Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers?

    +

    Around 22 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Surabaya Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers 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 Shore Excursion For Cruise Passengers?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees; Parking fees; Transportation with fuel, driver (Share with same cruise passengers); Surcharges on fuel; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Personal expenses; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
