Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Our knowledgeable driver and guide to pick you up at 6:00 a.m. and bring you along the Lumajang road to the Tumpaksewu region. Your pick-up location in Malang will take you there in around 3 hours. Once we arrive, it will take us around two 2-3 hours to trek to the waterfall and take in one of East Java’s largest waterfalls. In Java, the Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is one of the most popular tourist attractions. What must be underlined is that the road is not wheelchair accessible.

   3 h

2. Get your sandals or tracking shoes ready and grab a swimsuit so you can explore the Tumpak Sewu waterfall. We begin our stroll to the panoramic region once we reach the Tumpaksewu area in order to enjoy the beauty of Tumpak Sewu from above. When the sky is clear, we may enjoy a stunning picture of the waterfall with a rainbow above it, framed by an active volcano and Mount Semeru, Java's highest peak. Enjoy the Tumpak Sewu waterfall, which has several well-liked photo ops with diverse backgrounds, from the bottom of a hundred feet of concrete stairs and rocks. After taking a ton of photos, proceed to Telaga Biru for a swim. Before the massive flash flood of 2023, this naturally occurring pond was reinforced with a wall made of sandbags. Reach the stunning Goa Tetes via the limestone stairs and steel ladder, a secret location that only a select few are aware of. Take some time to explore it in true adventure fashion, and then return to the parking area for cleanup.

• 5Another good trip with Landscape Bromo

  We used Landscape Bromo for our day tour to Tumpak Sewu waterfalls. We were met early in the morning by Rizky, our guide, who stayed with us throughout the entire day. Rizky was fantastic — kind, patient and incredibly helpful. The walk down to the waterfalls was challenging at times, but he paced the day perfectly and was always there to offer help when needed. Once we reached the bottom, he took us to all the best viewpoints and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to capture some truly wonderful photos and memories. He also did a great job of balancing the different needs and abilities of the four of us, including our two adult daughters, making sure everyone could enjoy the experience. Rizky was another excellent guide — we had previously enjoyed a fantastic tour of Bromo with Inggrid — and once again, Landscape Bromo’s organisation made everything run smoothly. Another fantastic day and another great experience. We would highly recommend Landscape Bromo to anyone visiting the area.

  Our trip to Tumpak Sewu with Landscape Bromo was a dream. I was traveling with my mum (>65y/o) and beforehand we were unsure about the difficulty of the trail. We had a private guide plus driver. The organization and pick-up were very comfortable. Our guide Alfa was everything we could have wished for. He guided us safely all the way down and up again in our own pace, captured our experience with photos/videos and explained everything we wanted to know. We had the best time exploring the waterfalls, indonesian nature and culture. The trail demanded careful concentration at some points but was absolutely doable and actually fun for both of us. The waterfalls were stunning. We would always choose Landscape Bromo again. P.S.: In case you are planning a trip: take into account that you propably will get as wet as in the shower! 😄

  Visiting Tumpak Sewu Waterfall was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of my trip. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and having Alfa as my guide made the experience even better. He was knowledgeable about the waterfall and the surrounding area, made sure I had everything I needed throughout the hike, and kept the day fun and enjoyable. A big thank you as well to my driver, who was friendly, professional, and made the journey comfortable from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

  Visiting Tumpak Sewu Waterfalls is a must when you’re in East Java. The waterfall is absolutely amazing. Even from the panorama area at the top, the view is already breathtaking, with waterfalls flowing side by side and surrounded by lush green cliffs from the Kaliglidig River. The walk down is a bit tiring and slippery, but everything was well organized by Landscape Bromo, so the trip still felt safe and enjoyable. Once you reach the bottom, the cool air, the sound of the water, and the natural surroundings make all the effort totally worth it. The experience was even better thanks to the great service from the trip provider. The trip was smooth and comfortable, and the guide was super helpful and friendly. He also knew exactly how to take good photos, so we ended up with a lot of great shots.

About Malang

Malang, in the highlands of East Java, is a cool hill city of Dutch-era streets, colourful hillside villages and volcanoes close by.

Malang lies about 450 metres up on a plateau in East Java, cooler than the coast, ringed by mountains including Mount Arjuno and the Tengger massif. The Dutch developed it as a garden city, and the centre keeps tree-lined avenues and old colonial buildings around the Tugu monument and the Alun-Alun Merdeka square. Two painted kampungs, Jodipan and Tridi, climb a hillside along the river.
