The Stargazing / Milkyway Tour in Mount Bromo is a magical tourist experience, this special spot in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has dark skies (when there’s no moon, mostly between the 6-12th beginning of the month), so you can see the stars well without city lights getting in the way. It’s up high, about 2,329 meters (7,641 feet) above sea level, which means you get an awesome view of the sky and the unique landscape of mountains and volcanic plains. The weather is usually clear and nice, so you’ll have lots of chances to see stars, planets, and even the Milky Way, which looks amazing without all the city lights.
What’s more, there’s a cool cultural aspect to stargazing here. The local Tenggerese people have a special connection to the stars and the sky, which adds a special feeling to the experience. Getting there is an adventure in itself—you can ride in a jeep or go on a trek through the wild terrain. So, whether you’re into stars, culture, or just having an exciting time, stargazing in Mount Bromo is something you’ll never forget.
