    Another good trip with Landscape Bromo

    We used Landscape Bromo for our day tour to Tumpak Sewu waterfalls. We were met early in the morning by Rizky, our guide, who stayed with us throughout the entire day. Rizky was fantastic — kind, patient and incredibly helpful. The walk down to the waterfalls was challenging at times, but he paced the day perfectly and was always there to offer help when needed. Once we reached the bottom, he took us to all the best viewpoints and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to capture some truly wonderful photos and memories. He also did a great job of balancing the different needs and abilities of the four of us, including our two adult daughters, making sure everyone could enjoy the experience. Rizky was another excellent guide — we had previously enjoyed a fantastic tour of Bromo with Inggrid — and once again, Landscape Bromo’s organisation made everything run smoothly. Another fantastic day and another great experience. We would highly recommend Landscape Bromo to anyone visiting the area.

    Response from the operator: Thank You Thank you so much, Maurice, for returning to Landscape Bromo and for sharing another wonderful review with us. It truly means a lot to know that after your Bromo experience with Inggrid, you chose us again for your Tumpak Sewu adventure. We’re especially happy to hear that Rizky made your day so enjoyable. Your kind words about his patience, helpfulness, and attention to the different needs of everyone in your group mean a great deal to us. Tumpak Sewu can be quite challenging, so having a guide who carefully manages the pace and is always ready to assist is very important. We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the viewpoints and had plenty of opportunities to capture beautiful photos and memories together. Our goal is always to make the journey enjoyable and comfortable for every guest, regardless of age or ability. Thank you again for trusting Landscape Bromo for your second adventure with us and for recommending our tours to other travelers visiting East Java. We’re truly grateful for your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable journey in Indonesia!

    6 out of 5 stars

    Our trip to Tumpak Sewu with Landscape Bromo was a dream. I was traveling with my mum (>65y/o) and beforehand we were unsure about the difficulty of the trail. We had a private guide plus driver. The organization and pick-up were very comfortable. Our guide Alfa was everything we could have wished for. He guided us safely all the way down and up again in our own pace, captured our experience with photos/videos and explained everything we wanted to know. We had the best time exploring the waterfalls, indonesian nature and culture. The trail demanded careful concentration at some points but was absolutely doable and actually fun for both of us. The waterfalls were stunning. We would always choose Landscape Bromo again. P.S.: In case you are planning a trip: take into account that you propably will get as wet as in the shower! 😄

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review and for awarding us "6 out of 5 stars." We are truly delighted to hear that you and your mother had such a memorable experience at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. It is wonderful to know that Alfa helped make your adventure comfortable, safe, and enjoyable by guiding you at your own pace, sharing insights about Indonesian nature and culture, and capturing special moments along the way. We are especially happy that the trail was manageable and fun for both of you, allowing you to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Tumpak Sewu. Thank you for choosing Landscape Bromo for your East Java adventure and for recommending us to future travelers. We greatly appreciate your trust and kind words, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey in Indonesia.

    Recommended tour

    Visiting Tumpak Sewu Waterfalls is a must when you’re in East Java. The waterfall is absolutely amazing. Even from the panorama area at the top, the view is already breathtaking, with waterfalls flowing side by side and surrounded by lush green cliffs from the Kaliglidig River. The walk down is a bit tiring and slippery, but everything was well organized by Landscape Bromo, so the trip still felt safe and enjoyable. Once you reach the bottom, the cool air, the sound of the water, and the natural surroundings make all the effort totally worth it. The experience was even better thanks to the great service from the trip provider. The trip was smooth and comfortable, and the guide was super helpful and friendly. He also knew exactly how to take good photos, so we ended up with a lot of great shots.

    Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 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 Private Adventure Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Private Adventure Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 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 Private Adventure 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 Private Adventure Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure Tour?

    +

    Around 15 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure 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 Private Adventure Tour?

    +

    Included: Tumpak Sewu Entrance Ticket; Professional guide; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Fuel, parking, charges. Not included: Meals; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure Tour offered in?

    +

    Is Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Private Adventure Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
