Bromo & Ijen
Experience the absolute best of East Java’s volcanic landscapes without the stress of complicated travel logistics. This 3-Day, 2-Night round-trip expedition from Bali is perfectly crafted to show you the awe-inspiring sunrises, active craters, and rare natural phenomena of Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen, all while ensuring a smooth return to your tropical getaway.
Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Bali (covering main hubs like Denpasar, Sanur, Ubud, or Kuta). Sit back and relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned car as we drive west to Gilimanuk harbor. After a scenic ferry crossing over the Bali Strait into East Java, we will embark on the overland journey to the Mount Bromo area. Upon arrival, you will check into your local accommodation to rest and prepare for the early morning adventure ahead.
Traveling by rugged 4WD Jeep, you will navigate up to a high-altitude viewpoint just in time to watch the sun rise over the sweeping Tengger Caldera. After sunrise, your Jeep will descend into the vast Sea of Sand. From here, you will cross the ash-covered landscape and climb the steps to the rim of Bromo's active, smoking crater. Once the morning's exploration wraps up, we will drive eastward to the Banyuwangi area, where you will check into your next accommodation and get some sleep before the midnight trek.
Your final day kicks off with an otherworldly night trek at Mount Ijen. Waking up around midnight, you will hike up the volcano under a starlit sky to witness the highly rare Ijen Blue Fire—ignited sulfuric gas burning brilliantly in the dark. As dawn breaks, you will be rewarded with sweeping views of the world's largest highly acidic crater lake, a breathtaking turquoise body of water surrounded by yellow sulfur rocks and active miners.
After descending the volcano, the Kymawari Alam Journey team will take you on a short drive to the Ketapang ferry port. We will cross back over to Bali, and our driver will drop you off safely at your designated hotel, concluding an epic 3-day overland adventure.
