Private Tour Details

Day 1: Yogyakarta – Jombang – Mount Bromo

Your 3-day tour of East Java's stunning volcanoes will begin with pickup from your hotel in Yogyakarta. You will be transferred to the railway station to catch the train heading east. As you relax on the journey, which lasts around four hours, admire the beautiful natural landscapes of the Indonesian island. Java is home to an amazing wealth of wildlife and plants.

Upon arrival at Jombang train station, a bus will take you to your accommodation near Mount Bromo. After a delicious meal to recharge, you will have the rest of the day free to explore the surrounding area. The exceptional location of your hotel is perfect for taking in the incredible views of the volcanoes for which Java is famous.

Day 2: Mount Bromo – Penanjakan – Ketapang

Start your second day early, meeting in the hotel lobby at dawn to hop into the all-terrain Jeep that will take you to Penanjakan. Witness the sun rise over the Tengger caldera: the first rays illuminating the volcanic landscapes around Mount Bromo create a sight you'll never forget.

After the breathtaking sunrise, you will have the chance to explore Mount Bromo up close. Climb onto horseback and enjoy a peaceful ride around the volcano and its surrounding peaks. The horse riding route will end back in the foothills of Mount Penanjakan, where the Jeep will return you to the hotel. Savor a well-deserved breakfast before embarking on the road to Ketapang, located on the eastern coast of Java.

In Ketapang, enjoy a mouth-watering lunch of local Indonesian delicacies before having the rest of the day free to explore the city. You'll spend the night here, ready for the final day of the tour tomorrow.

Day 3: Ketapang – Ijen – Gilimanuk (Bali)

On the third day, you will rise early again as your all-terrain Jeep picks you up from your hotel in Ketapang. A two-hour drive will bring you to the Paltuding Visitor Centre, where you will begin a hiking route up to the volcanic crater of Ijen, one of the most incredible sights in East Java. This area is known for its piercing turquoise lake, and occasionally the electric-blue flames that ignite from its lava, an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon!

For safety reasons, viewing the blue lava is not possible, but you will learn about its unique color. Then, you will walk back down to Paltuding, where the Jeep will take you to Ketapang for a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Once refreshed, you will head to the nearby port to catch a ferry to Gilimanuk, located on the north-west coast of the paradise island of Bali.
