The whole trip was very pleasant. The driver was very punctual and drove very carefully and safely. The guides were very helpful and friendly. Everything went very smoothly and we had a lovely time.

We had an absolute great time. Our guide Arif knew the best times to travel and has organised us 4 days that were perfect. We started with a stunning sunrise overlooking Mount Bromo and having an adventurous Jeep Ride with a nice walk on top of the Bromo. We then stopped by the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall early in the morning with not many other people around. We got so many great pictures thanks to the local guide. After that we started driving to Ijen with another early start on the next day. Also the guide was really nice and we got a fantastic video from the whole trip. Thanks again, we had the best start in Indonesia and Java with this tour.

The experience was surreal! We enjoyed every bit of it because everything was taken care of. Nothing to worry, only worry did we capture the moments and took enough photos. We had brilliant driver and guide who took good care of us. Tip for future guests, the climb may seem tough (and tiring) especiallyfor those who don't exrcise much, but it's worth every drop of sweat.

Mount Bromo FAQs

Where is Mount Bromo located?

Mount Bromo is in East Java, Indonesia, inside the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The closest cities are Malang, Surabaya, and Probolinggo. 

What is the best time of year to visit Mount Bromo?

The dry season (May to October) is best for clear sunrises. July and August are the busiest months, so for fewer crowds, visit in April-May or September-October (avoid weekends and holidays).

If you visit in the rainy season (November to March), expect fog and possible road closures. The rain makes the Sea of Sand muddy, and open jeeps offer little shelter, so we wouldn’t recommend visiting during this time.


What is Mount Bromo known for?

It’s one of the most photographed places in Indonesia. It’s beginner-friendly (just 20 minutes of walking required) and offers spectacular volcanic landscapes (looks like Dune!). Even travellers who dislike crowds say that jostling with others at Mount Bromo is worth it for those unreal views.


The area is also home to the Tenggerese Hindu community, who hold annual ceremonies at Bromo's crater and the nearby Hindu temple in Ngadisari - so it’s also an important spiritual site to the locals! 

How can I avoid crowds when visiting Mount Bromo?

Bromo does get crowded! We really don’t like crowds, so here are our four main tips:

  1. Avoid weekends and Indonesian holidays, as it’s a popular spot for locals.
  2. Opt for a less popular sunrise viewpoint, like Mount Penanjakan II, or visit at sunset instead.
  3. Stay overnight in Cemoro Lawang so you can reach the viewpoints before the day-trippers arrive. Some tours can even get you there an hour earlier for the best spots.
  4. For a quieter experience, hike Mount Batok, next to Bromo Volcano, for a different perspective.


Is Mount Bromo an active volcano?

Yes, it’s still very much active, erupting about once every three years on average. The local authorities closely monitor it, and will close areas if there’s an eruption warning.
