• 5Overnight Bromo trip with waterfall visit

  We booked the Bromo sunrise tour with an overnight stay nearby and a visit to Madikaripura waterfall on the way. The whole trip was fantastic! Beautiful places to visit, brilliant guides and very organised. We've recommended the trip to our friends. A big thank you to Bima for taking such good care of us and for his great driving.

• 5Bromo Nael

  My guide Nael was one of the best guides I’ve ever had. For me history and culture are the most important thing. Nael was very knowledgeable about not only the destination but also the areas and villages we traveled through. My Indonesian language skills are average so my guide’s knowledge of both languages was essential. He’s also a friendly guy and a great conversationalist. Top marks for his refined taste in playing indie pop and rock.

• 5Not to be missed (from a previous Bromo skeptic)

  This was truly a surreal and wonderful experience! We originally had booked for 2D1N to do Bromo and Ijen through Get Your Guide. But the organisers informed us of Ijen’s closure due to wildfires with plenty of notice and offered different alternatives. In the end we opted for the Bromo Sunrise tour and drop off at Ketapang and booked directly with TrippyTrip via WhatsApp. We were collected by Nael from our hotel in Surabaya on the dot at 23:30. He was immediately very warm and welcoming and since he is young and speaks English well, we felt like we were travelling with a buddy! He drove us 2.5 hours to a drop off point near Bromo. We left our luggage in his car and he kept it safe for us while we went to Bromo. Next we were collected by Bbani and a Jeep driver. There was a 40 min drive on the Jeep and this can get very bumpy but it all adds to the sense of adventure. Bbani took us to a cafe for tea/coffee/fried bananas and we waited until closer to sunrise. The area is setup for the sunrise tours so there are plenty of places to use toilets (cost 5k IDR), cafes and renting or buying warm clothes. I was wearing a t-shirt, fleece and wind breaker with cargo trousers and felt very cold for about half an hour before sunrise. Some leggings under the trousers would have helped a lot. When we started walking up to the view point, I warmed up though so all good. But the dust is no joke in the dry season, people. Definitely have a mask. The guide gave us some but I think it was too thin. So something more substantial would be good, think ffp3 masks that we wore during Covid. This is very important if you go to the volcano rim through sea of sands which as the name suggests is very sandy! We were there for sunrise on a Saturday so there was a pretty substantial crowd. Obviously this changes the experience because it’s very different to seeing sunrise alone in a mountain but not necessarily for the worse! There’s a nice sense of collective wonder associated with so many people gathering to see a stunning natural phenomenon. It does mean that you have to be more clever with your photography and wait in an informal queue to have your picture taken by your guide. But we had some nice chats up there too so I didn’t mind the people apart from the one “influencer” type who was hogging the best spot. But we got our turn anyway. Now as for the sunrise itself, nothing could have quite prepared me for how STUNNING it was. Definitely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life. The colours are unreal, and the view is enhanced by the clouds rolling in between the volcanic peaks. The scenery changes every few seconds so not a single boring moment! My husband and I agreed that only this one sunrise made the whole trip to Indonesia worth it. I have to give a big shout out to Bbani with his choice of the view point which gave us the best view of the sunrise and the peaks without being too crowded. And he was also on it with making sure we have as many pictures as possible with all the different backgrounds. He took us to the volcano rim too and took pictures there too. But the cherry on top was when he took us to a less busy spot with the jeep, got us to climb the jeep and take some photos with the mountain behind us. These were the pictures that I didn’t know I needed but I am now so glad we’ve got them! They are so adorable and funny at the same time! After this, it was time for a nice breakfast at a nearby hotel with Bbani. Then they took us back to Nael who then drove us 6 hours to Ketapang. This man was still smiling after the 6 hour drive and before he was going to drive back 7 hours to Surabaya. I cannot thank him enough for being such a good sport. Great conversation, comfortable drive, comfort and snack breaks. He also bought our ferry tickets and took us into the port before we parted ways. Before doing Bromo, I was a bit hesitant because everyone does it and I was worried it would be underwhelming and a tourist trap. But I’m so glad we did it. It was absolutely worth it and the price from TrippyTrip was totally worthwhile considering the total worry-free service we got.

• 5Wonderful sunrise with a special guide

  We were lucky to visit Mount Bromo with Sreng, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. He was incredibly kind, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He picked us up directly from our hotel and, as requested, dropped us off at the airport after the tour, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Throughout the trip, he showed us breathtaking places and shared many interesting insights about the area, helping us better understand the local culture and surroundings. Sreng also took some absolutely beautiful photos of us, giving us wonderful memories to bring home. What impressed us most was the calmness and serenity he conveyed throughout the day. His friendly attitude and positive energy made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Trippy Tour and in particular Sreng to anyone visiting Mount Bromo. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring guide who goes above and beyond for his guests, he is the perfect choice. Thank you, Trippy Trip and Sreng for an unforgettable experience! 🙏😊 Andrea & Floriana 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇩

About Surabaya

Surabaya is the capital of East Java and Indonesia's second city, a port of Dutch colonial buildings, heroes' monuments, mosques and street food.

Surabaya spreads along the Kali Mas river near the northern coast of East Java, a port city that grew under Dutch rule and is known as the City of Heroes for the battle fought here in November 1945 during the struggle for independence. The Heroes' Monument, a tall concrete obelisk, and the museum below it recall that fight, and Heroes' Day is marked on 10 November. Legend says the name comes from sura and baya, the shark and crocodile on the city's emblem.
