Detailed Itinerary: Tumpak Sewu, Bromo & Ijen Crater Tour from Surabaya (3 Days)
Day 1: Surabaya – Tumpak Sewu Waterfall – Malang
Your adventure begins early in Surabaya, the vibrant capital of East Java. After a warm welcome by your Awantour guide, you’ll head directly to the breathtaking Tumpak Sewu waterfall, often dubbed the “Niagara of Java.” Located near Lumajang, about a 3 to 4-hour drive from Surabaya, Coban Sewu is a majestic tiered waterfall cascading down a steep cliff in a semi-circle, creating a spectacular curtain of water.
Upon arrival, prepare for an exhilarating trek through lush tropical forests and rugged terrain. The descent to the base of the waterfall offers plenty of opportunities to capture incredible photos and experience the thunderous roar of the cascading water up close. Don’t forget your swimsuit—taking a refreshing dip in the natural pools here is a must!
After spending quality time exploring Tumpak Sewu, the tour continues to Malang, a charming city known for its cool climate and colonial architecture. Here, you’ll rest for the night in a comfortable hotel, ready to recharge for the upcoming volcanic adventure.
Day 2: Malang – Mount Bromo – Cemoro Lawang
Day two kicks off with a pre-dawn departure from Malang to Cemoro Lawang village, located at the edge of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. This is the prime vantage point to witness the legendary golden Bromo sunrise view.
Arriving before dawn, your guide will lead you up to the viewpoint, where you’ll witness the sky gradually light up with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple. Below, the mist-filled caldera, the smoking crater of Mount Bromo, and the sea of sand create an almost surreal scene. After sunrise, you’ll descend to the crater’s rim. Depending on your preference and fitness level, you can either hike or ride a horse up the stairs leading to the smoking volcano.

You’ll depart very early to reach the Ijen Plateau before sunrise. The climb to the crater rim takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, winding through rugged volcanic terrain. The highlight here is witnessing the surreal blue flames — a natural phenomenon caused by ignited sulfuric gases emerging from cracks in the volcano floor. As dawn breaks, you’ll see the vibrant crater lake below, surrounded by steaming sulfur vents.
