Overview

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip. Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements.

Few regions in Indonesia offer such a dramatic variety of landscapes within a relatively short distance. From the sunrise viewpoints of Mount Bromo to the towering curtain of Tumpak Sewu Waterfall and the blue fire of Kawah Ijen, this 4 days 3 nights east java tour is designed to showcase some of the island’s most remarkable natural attractions in a single adventure.

The journey starts from Surabaya or Malang and continues eastward across Java without unnecessary backtracking. Within four days, travelers will explore Mount Bromo sunrise viewpoints, descend into the dramatic canyon of Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, and hike Kawah Ijen to witness the famous blue fire phenomenon before sunrise.

Through Amazingbromo.com, this overland adventure is arranged with a private vehicle, flexible pacing, and local assistance throughout the route.

Instead of rushing from one place to another, the itinerary is built to keep the experience comfortable while still covering East Java’s iconic destinations.
