Program Bromo Sunrise & Ijen Tour from Yogyakarta 3-Day 2-Night

Below is a sample itinerary illustrating how this 3 days 2 night tour package could unfold over three evocative days:

Day 1: Yogyakarta → Journey East Java → Bromo region

Your adventure begins in Yogyakarta. In the morning (around 07:00 AM), our driver will pick you up from your hotel, airport, or train station. Begin the long drive eastward toward the Bromo region. Expect to spend about 7 to 9 hours on the road, depending on traffic and stops. Along the way, you may pause for breaks, lunch, restroom stops, and photo opportunities through rural Javanese countryside—rice terraces, plantations, and scenic villages.

By late afternoon you’ll arrive at the Mt. Bromo area (often in Cemoro Lawang or nearby). Check into your guesthouse or hotel, relax, and enjoy the cool mountain air. The rest of the afternoon is free for leisure—take short walks, soak in the views, or rest up for the early start ahead. Dinner is on your own (or provided, depending on your package). Overnight stay in the hotel.

Day 2: Tour Sunrise at Bromo → Transfer to Ijen area

This is the highlight: the sunrise iconic moment. At around 03:30 AM, you’ll depart from your lodging and board a private 4WD jeep that will drive you to the Penanjakan viewpoint (or King Kong Hill) in time for sunrise. As dawn breaks, the early light paints the volcanoes, the Sea of Sand, and the misty caldera in ethereal tones—an unforgettable spectacle.

After sunrise, the jeep will take you down to the Sea of Sand. From there, you can optionally ride a horse or walk across the volcanic plain to the base of Mount Bromo. A short climb (about 250 steps) leads to the crater rim, where you can peer into the smoking vent and capture dramatic photos. After exploring, return to your hotel for breakfast and a freshen-up.

Following breakfast and check-out, you’ll embark on the transfer to the Ijen area, typically in Bondowoso or Banyuwangi region. The drive may take 4 to 6 hours (with breaks), passing through rural highlands, plantations, and small towns. Upon arrival in the evening, check in at your hotel near Ijen. Dinner and rest in preparation for your early blue fire hike.

Day 3: Blue Flame Trek & Return / Drop-off

The final day of your journey starts late at night again. Around midnight (00:30 to 01:30 AM), depart your hotel toward the Ijen Crater base (parking). From there, hike upward for about 1 to 1.5 hours through the dark forest trails until you reach the rim. In the pre-dawn darkness, you may witness the ghostly blue flames (electric sulfur combustion) lingering in the crater floor. Continue ascending to gaze upon the turquoise acid lake at the crater core, and observe local sulfur miners performing their challenging work.

After sunrise and crater exploration, descend to the parking area and return to your hotel for breakfast and check-out. Depending on your arrangement, you may be dropped off at Banyuwangi Harbor (for onward travel or ferry to Bali), or at Surabaya, or even Bali (if the package includes drop-off). Along the way, there may be stops at scenic viewpoints or plantations. This completes your Bromo Sunrise Ijen Tour from Yogyakarta-3d2n.

Throughout the tour, local English-speaking guides, gas masks (for Ijen smoke), headlamps, mineral water, national park fees, and lodging are included (per the package). The exact roads and timetables may vary depending on traffic, season, and weather.

Price Mount Bromo Sunrise & Ijen Tour from Yogyakarta 3D/2N – Private Trip

As of 2025, this tour package is offered by various operators with pricing that fluctuates by group size, accommodation standard, season, and drop-off location. For example:

  • 2 pax = IDR 4,450,000;/Per Person;
  • 3 pax = IDR 3,350,000;/Per person;
  • 4 – 5 pax = IDR 2,750,000;/Per person;
  • 6-10 pax= Contact the travel agent for grup

These costs generally assume a private tour (not sharing with strangers), moderate lodging, pickups in Yogyakarta, and drop-off in Banyuwangi or Surabaya.

Note: If your drop-off is directly in Bali (e.g. Denpasar, Ubud, Kuta), expect additional surcharge (often IDR 1,500,000 to 1,900,000 extra) depending on distance.

Pricing Factors

  • Group size: Larger groups split fixed costs, lowering per-person price.
  • Accommodation standard: Upgrading to higher-end hotels (Lava View Lodge, resorts) increases cost.
  • Seasonality: Peak seasons (e.g. holidays, dry season) may carry surcharges.
  • Drop-off destination: Bali drop-off is more expensive than Banyuwangi or Surabaya.
  • Extras: Optional horse rides, meals beyond breakfast, tips, personal expenses, and travel insurance are often not included.

Thus typical price per person ranges from about IDR 2,500,000 to IDR 5,000,000+, or USD 200–600+, depending on inclusions and route.

Best Time to Visit

The optimal time for this trip is during the dry season, roughly April through October. During this period, rainfall is minimal, skies are clearer, and the visibility for sunrise and crater views is best. Mornings between May and September are especially favorable for crisp, dramatic sunrises at Bromo and clearer conditions for Ijen’s blue flames.

Visiting during the rainy season (November to March) is riskier: trails may be slippery, clouds or fog may obscure views, and blue flame visibility can be hampered. Always check weather forecasts just before your trip.

Additionally, try to schedule your Ijen hike on nights without a full moon, so that the blue flame effect is more vivid against darker skies.
