DETAIL OF ITINERARY:
DAY 1: SURABAYA – TEA PLANTATION IN MALANG – JODIPAN COLORFUL VILLAGE – HOTEL IN MALANG
The trip will start from the Surabaya area, if you already stayed in the hotel we will pick you up at 8 am in the morning. If you can start in the morning, we have enough time to explore Coffee Plantation in Malang and also Jodipan Colorful Village.
If you arrive in Surabaya by train or plane, we will follow your time schedule.
From Surabaya to Malang will take about 2-3 hours, we will visit the Tea Plantation located in the Lawang area (just 30 minutes from the center of Malang city). It’s the only Tea Plantation that still existed since 1875 in East Java. It’s about 1.144 hectares and is located 950-1200 m above sea level. The weather is also quite chill because it’s under the slope of Mount Arjuna.
After enjoying the tea plantation, we will explore the uniqueness of Jodipan Village. Jodipan village is the only colorful village painted by some artists since June 2016. It’s more than 107 houses under the bridge and near the river. It’s so impressive to see from far or closer.
DAY 2: HOTEL IN MALANG – TUMPAK SEWU WATERFALL – HOTEL IN BONDOWOSO AREA
On the second day of the trip, we will be starting at 5 am. It will take about 3 hours to reach the most famous waterfall in East Java, which is Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. There are some waterfalls well nearby, that as Kapas Biru Waterfall, which is also recommended to visit. But the way to go down to the waterfall is so rocky and slippery. Please follow our guide’s guidance. After enjoying the waterfalls, we have to drive for about 6 hours until we reach our hotel in the Bondowoso area.

DAY 3: IJEN BLUE FLAME TOUR – HOTEL IN BROMO AREA
On the third day of the trip, we will be starting about midnight to visit the most beautiful volcano in East Java. The reason why we have to start at midnight is because we will face the only two natural phenomena of Blue Flame / Blue Fire which is only in Ijen Crater (Indonesia) and Dallol Volcano (Ethiopia). The trek will take 2 hours away, it’s a steep and rocky area. So, please use the proper shoes and follow our guide’s guidance.
After enjoying the Blue Flame Point at 5 am, we will go back to the Crater Rim of Ijen to see the beautiful crater lake and surroundings during the Sunrise. Ijen has the biggest sulfuric lake with a turquoise color and also has the most acid lake in Indonesia with 0,5 Ph
At about 7 am, we will go back to the hotel to have breakfast and take a shower. From your hotel in Bondowoso to Mount Bromo area it will take about 5-6 hours drive.

The fourth day of the trip will start at 2:30 am, we will drive about 40 minutes to King Kong Hill, and from here, we will take a motorbike to reach Rogowulan Hill. Rogowulan Hill is the newest sunrise point that only a few people know, most of them are landscapers or travel photographers. Because it has a unique angle for them.
After enjoying the sunrise here, we will go back to King Kong Hill to capture another angle before heading to the Crater rim of Mount Bromo.
The trekking to the Crater rim takes about 45 minutes by foot, if you want to ride a horse, you can pay 10 USD for a return. Upon your arrival at the Crater rim, you will be amazed at the hole of fire that spews smoke every time and sometimes comes with a loud sound.
At about 9 am, we will go back to our hotel to have breakfast, and we will give you free leisure until 4 pm. At 4 pm, we will invite you to do a soft walk to Meigen Hill to try seeing the sunset in Mount Bromo, the sunset here is so rare and does not happen every day because it mostly is foggy at sunset time.
