TOUR ITINERARY

DAY 1: YOGYAKARTA  – PRAMBANAN TEMPLE – ACCOMMODATION IN BOROBUDUR AREA

Borobudur temple tour will start from the airport in Yogyakarta, our staff will meet you at the airport then we will drive from Yogyakarta to the Borobudur temple area for about 1,5 hours, Upon your arrival in the Borobudur temple area, you will be staying overnight there before you do Borobudur sunrise tour tomorrow morning.

Important Note: We recommend arriving in Yogyakarta before midday or even better in the morning, so you have a chance to do the Yogyakarta City Tour, for example visiting Prambanan Temple &, etc, because on the second day, we have to catch a train at 14:21, so it’s better to do a city tour on this day instead of the second day.

DAY 2: BOROBUDUR SUNRISE TOUR – YOGYAKARTA CITY TOUR –  TRAIN TO SURABAYA – ACCOMMODATION IN MOUNT BROMO AREA

Borobudur temple is best seen at dawn when the air is fresh and full of birdsong. As the mist begins to lift, the sun scales the surrounding volcanoes and terraced fields and highlights the stone reliefs and the many faces of Buddha. Glimpsing Borobudur for the first time is often a deeply felt emotional experience.

Borobudur sunrise tour offers a different experience where participants were given a special pass to enter the monument early in the morning at approximately 4:30 am before public visitors and visitors have to walk from the hotel to Borobudur with a pre-dawn stroll through the dewy grass of a lush tropical garden. A super scenery and a very beautiful morning at Borobudur temple could be seen when the sun would appear from the horizon. A truly impressive experience!

Around 09:00, our staff will meet you at your hotel for the next tour, which is a city tour around Yogyakarta city. Because our train is at 14:21, you should keep your time tight, we will be visiting one of these places (Sultan Palace, Water Castle, and some optional visits, for example, visiting, Silver, Puppet, and Batik maker place). If you visited it on day 1, then we can just relax to do a short city trip before transferring you out to the train station.
(we recommend doing the whole city tour on the first day of the tour which is less hectic and stressful with the time).

After doing the short city tour, we will take lunch in the local restaurant then we will drive to Tugu Train Station because the train leaves Yogyakarta around 14:21 and arrive at Surabaya Gubeng Train Station around 18:10. After arriving at Surabaya Gubeng train station, our staff will meet you at Surabaya Gubeng Train Station and then continue our trip to the Mount Bromo area, it takes about 3 hours drive but we will stop for having dinner in the local restaurant before we enter Mount Bromo area because there will be fewer choices place to eat up there.

Mount Bromo sunrise tour will be started around 03:30 (when you come to Mount Bromo on the weekend, we have to start the tour earlier), the jeep will bring you to the most famous viewpoint in the Mount Bromo area. That is Penanjakan hill, from the hill we can see the best sunrise in East Java with mountains and volcanoes as a background. Afterward, the jeep will continue your adventure holiday to reach the sea of sands in the Mount Bromo area. We will stop at the parking area then you will cross the sea of sands by riding a horse or on foot (it is optional) till reach the stairs at the slope of Mount Bromo which will lead you to reach the peak of Mt. Bromo.

DAY 4: IJEN  CRATER TOUR – BALI

The Ijen crater tour will start at 00:30, our car will bring us to Paltuding (the Parking area before you start the trekking). This journey takes approximately 1 hour from the hotel in Banyuwangi, arriving at the parking area of Ijen Crater, and about 1.5 hours will be required to ascend the slope of mount Ijen to reach the peak of Ijen Crater to see the blue flame we need to climb the crater down around 30 minutes (sport and hiking shoes required). When you arrived at the bottom of the crater of Ijen Volcano, you will see the amazing view of the Blue flame everybody said, it is only two in the world (only in Ijen Crater and Ethiopia).

When the sun rises, you will be invited to climb the crater to enjoy the stunning natural scenery with fresh air & shade. Rest on the edge of the crater at an altitude of 2385 meters and enjoy the best panorama of the lake of acid water which reflects the spectacular view in the surrounding walls that gives the impression of doom.
