Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen 3-Day Private Tour
From Milky Way stargazing to the Blue Flame of Kawah Ijen — an unforgettable journey through East Java's most iconic natural wonders.
This Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen private tour takes you through three days of extraordinary landscapes in East Java, combining volcanic craters, ancient waterfalls, and cosmic night skies in a single carefully planned itinerary.
Beginning with a scenic transfer from Surabaya, the tour visits the towering Madakaripura Waterfall before settling in at a comfortable hill-side hotel near Bromo. The second day involves a pre-dawn Milky Way observation, a sunrise ascent of Mount Bromo, and an overland drive toward the Kawah Ijen area.
The final chapter of the journey brings you to the summit of Mount Ijen before dawn, where the rare Blue Flame sulphur phenomenon glows against the darkness. A guided descent along the crater rim reveals the world's largest acidic crater lake in its full morning light.
Tour Highlights
Observe the Milky Way in its full clarity from the volcanic plateau surrounding Mount Bromo on a dedicated private night session.
Watch the sunrise paint the horizon from the peak of Mount Bromo, one of Indonesia's most photographed natural spectacles.
Explore the legendary Madakaripura Waterfall, a sacred site steeped in Javanese history and framed by towering canyon walls.
Witness the famous Blue Flame of Kawah Ijen, a natural electrochemical phenomenon visible only at night and in the early hours before dawn.
Stand at the rim of the world's largest acidic crater lake inside Mount Ijen's caldera, a vivid turquoise spectacle surrounded by sulphur-streaked cliffs.
Travel exclusively on a private basis with a dedicated experienced guide, a private 4WD jeep, and a personalised pace throughout all three days.
Itinerary Overview
