I really loved my tour with Seek Sophie. The two volcanoes and the waterfall were really impressive and beautiful ! It’s definitely worth it. For the tour, it was very well organized and everything went down smoothly. The only that could have been better were the hotels in which we stayed. The two first hotels were good but don’t expect to much luxury. For the last one (Villa Kayon Griya Osinh Banyuwangi), there was an ant infestation in one of our room so we would have prefered another accomodation. However, I really recommend doing the tour with Seek Sophie and it was a wonderful experience.

Well organised tour. Good communication prior and throughout tour. Friendly driver.

In all honesty we thought we booked a group tour and were happily surprised with the extent of service, comfort, and ease that came with the private tour (especially for the price). This was a seamless 4 days, we where not exhausted afterwards and enjoyed every experience to its fullest without feeling rushed or forced. The selection of drivers, home stay hosts, and tour guides was top notch, each one of them so kind and took great care of us. We could not recommend this enough. Super slay, Sophie

Great experience. Bromo and Ijen and such an experience. Great accomodations.

3D2N Bromo + Ijen | From Surabaya/Malang/Bali

Great experience. Bromo and Ijen and such an experience. Great accomodations. 

We did the sunset tour and had a great time with our guide Rizky. Arriving at Mt Bromo, it was much quieter because the sunrise crowds had left. It meant that we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Even though the clouds blocked our view for sunset, we still got some great photos of the crater and on the ground. Rizky even used his drone to take videos and photos of us. Make sure you pack good walking shoes and a mask, sunglasses or face covering as the terrain is quite dusty. The jeep ride can be bumpy so be prepared if you get motion sickness

Our Tumpak Sewu, Bromo, and Ijen adventure was flawless, thanks to Boyo Travel Tour. They chose excellent local guides for all activities, making every trek safe and deeply informative. Our driver, Heru, was fantastic—extremely safe, polite, and always on time. He made the long mountain drives completely stress-free. Quick Tips: Bring warm layers; volcanoes are freezing before sunrise.Pack waterproof shoes for the waterfall. Highly recommend Boyo Travel, Heru, and their amazing guides!

I booked the 4D3N tour and I highly recommend it. We were a group of 6 friends, we had a pick up in Bali (Canggu) and a van came just in front of the door and drove us to the harbour. The ferry tickets to go to Java island were included. Once there, we met Bayu, our driver for those 4 days. We had a van for 11 people just for the 6 of us, so it was really comfortable and convient for our luggage. Bayu was very professional and kind. He drove us to nice restaurants (lunchs and diners not included in the price) during the tour. The 3 homestays were really beautiful, modern and clean. For the mount Ijen, tumpak sewu waterfall, and mount bromo, we had different guides. The 3 of them were really kind, took a lot of pictures of us and sent them to us just afterwards. The awakenings were really early but it was worth it ! Bayu finally drove us to Surabaya airport and we flew back to Bali. Thank you !

Highly recommend this tour! Arya was a great guide and very interesting to chat to about the history of the area. Everything ran very smoothly and Arya made sure everything was taken care of. Recommend doing the waterfall add-on.
