    Wild local energizing day

    I really appreciate how the trip was organized. Everything on time and the schedule for activities was perfect and full for the day! Gilang listens to needs and satisfies. He is really openminded. Gilang drove me around all day to explore. I did the Tumpak Sewu hike and after the Kapas biru waterfall.

    Good experience

    It was a beautiful waterfall after a squeezy climb down a long flight of stairs and ladder. Still great

    Absolutely stunning and so fun!

    This was probably my favorite activity in Indonesia! It was a little more challenging than I expected but my guide was great and took really good care of me during the hike. The scenery is amazing - this is a must-do! Pro-tip: wear sturdy shoes and bring a change of clothes. You will get totally immersed in water and the trail is wet and slippery.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We are so glad to hear this! We had the pleasure of serving you!

    I attended the Milky Way & Sunrise Mt. Bromo on September 4th. Because of the lack of professional camera equipment, and afraid to stay in the cold mountains too long, so we actively requested to leave at 9:00 p.m. (it was 7:00 p.m.), the driver Danang has been waiting for us at 9:00 p.m. outside the hotel door, he is friendly and professional, it takes about 3.5 hours to get to a house and take a jeep to go up the mountain, the volcano is very cold, about 8 degrees, the night is very clear, we can see the stars, but it is unfortunate to see the galaxy (I have seen the galaxy in Chile, I am fortunate to have forgotten), after eating a little breakfast in the nearby small store, he has a passion for travel, he has a lot of experience to walk to see the sunrise of the volcano, the volcano is just under your feet, it opens the horizon, then it is more difficult to ride to the volcano, and we have a shoe to take under the waterfall, this is a shoe,

    Response from the operator: Thank you! Appreciate it! We are glad you came on our tour as well. The team here appreciate your tour with us. We look forward to you travelling with us to other places like Labuan Bajo, Bali, Yogyakarta etc. Thank you!

    Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $136 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 Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour?

    +

    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 Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day 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 Tumpak Sewu Waterfall & Goa Tetes Private Day Tour?
