Amazing trip!!

5.00The whole trip was amazing!! Both volcanoes and the waterfall were magical to see, and the trip was very well organized. Our guide, Efa, was by far the best guide we had during our entire trip (and we had many)! She shared so much interesting information and made sure everything ran smoothly. More importantly, we truly enjoyed all the conversations and laughs we shared with her. Thank you, Efa ❤️🙏

5.00It was a fantastic experience, a 3-day, 2-night trip to Mount Bromo, Tumpaksewu Waterfall, Ijen Crater, and Madakaripura Waterfall. The management and care were excellent, thanks to our wonderful guide, Mr. Qowim, and our great driver throughout the trip. Thank you so much! I highly recommend coming at least once; it was truly a great experience!
Value for money local tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The tour was seamless and our guide Mr Nadal was very accomodating and helpful. He followed us through all the hikes and found us the perfect spot for the sunrise view. We happened to visit during a local long weekend and every destination was super crowded but Nadal was very patient and guided us through the throngs of people to ensure that we all had our money worth. Very value for money and I strongly recommend it.
Intense tour but smooth and stress free

5.00This tour is definitely intense in terms of activity, a lot of early wake-up calls and driving from spot to spot, so good to be prepared. With that being said, everything went very smoothly, and the accommodations were all very nice! Our guide Nadal was super helpful, and was always there to take pictures and even put together a few videos for us. Our driver Aji was great as well, very safe on the sometimes bumpy and chaotic roads. Each stop was gorgeous and we really had a great time, and given that all the accommodations and transportation is taken care of, it was definitely low stress. If you can, try doing the tour during the week, as the crowds were not too bad but still many people on Bromo. We were told during the weekend it is much worse. Also they are doing maintenance on the sulfur pipes at Ijen, so if you are planning on doing Ijen sometime soon after this review, just know there are no blue flames as of now. Thanks again to Nadal and Aji as they were very helpful throughout the entire tour!
