Day 2: Mount Bromo – Penanjakan – Ketapang

Your second day begins with an early start; gather in the hotel lobby at dawn to board the all-terrain Jeep heading to Penanjakan. The early wake-up call will prove worthwhile as you witness the sunrise over the Tengger caldera: the first rays illuminating the volcanic terrain around Mount Bromo in vibrant hues of purple, orange, and red will be a scene to remember.

Following this unforgettable moment, you will have the chance to explore Mount Bromo up close. Mount up on horseback for a tranquil ride around the volcano and its surrounding peaks. The equestrian journey culminates back at the base of Mount Penanjakan, where your Jeep awaits to return you to the hotel for a well-deserved breakfast.
