Itinerary
Day 1 | Morning transfer from Bali to the Ijen plateau | Afternoon mountain bike ride | 30km
Get ready for an exhilarating adventure! Our team will arrive to pick you up promptly at 6 AM from your Bali accommodation. We will then embark on a three-hour drive to Gilimanuk, the town where we catch the ferry to Java. The ferry ride typically lasts between 1-2 hours, depending on the harbor traffic. As we journey across the water, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Mount Ijen and the Ijen Plateau. Once we arrive, we'll stop at a local restaurant for lunch before continuing on our journey towards the Ijen Plateau, which is just an hour's drive away. At around 2 PM, we'll commence our 3-hour mountain biking ride through the Ijen plateau hills. Along the way, we'll pass through plantations of rubber, teak, fruit, and coffee, and visit a beautiful waterfall. Finally, we'll spend the night at a local accommodation in the charming town of Banyuwangi, which is conveniently located near Mount Ijen. (L)

DAY 2 | Hike to the rim of the crater of Mount Ijen 6km | Afternoon Transfer to Mount Bromo
Our departure time today is confirmed for 4 am, and we will start our Mount Ijen trek from Paltuding. The hike to the summit will take approximately an hour, covering a distance of 3 kilometers. Once we reach the peak, we will be rewarded with an awe-inspiring view of the Ijen crater lake. As we traverse the slopes of the mountain, we may come across sulfur miners. After soaking up the stunning sights of the Ijen crater lake, we will embark on a walk around the volcano rim to witness its breathtaking views. We will then return at 10 am to prepare for the 5-hour drive to Mount Bromo. Our overnight stay will be at an altitude of 2000m, so don't forget to pack warm clothing as the area can be quite chilly, especially at night. (B L)

Day 3 | Cycle around Mount Bromo area | 30km
Experience the ultimate adventure by joining us today for a bike ride like no other through the awe-inspiring scenery of Bromo National Park. Our journey will take us from the hotel and into the sea of sand, before venturing towards Mount Bromo. We'll ascend out of the valley and scale the caldera on the other side, encircling the volcanoes before returning to the hotel. Although there will be some climbing involved, the route is not excessively challenging. (B L)

Day 4 | Sunrise tour of Mount Bromo National Park | Hike to the crater of Mount Bromo | Surabaya Airport transfer and flight back to Bali
We will wake up at 3 am to witness the sunrise over the stunning landscape. First, we'll enjoy some coffee or tea, and then hop in our 4x4 to venture into the sea of sand. Our destination is one of the most breathtaking spots in the National Park. Once we arrive, the jeeps will drop us off at a narrow trail, and we will hop on our mountain bikes and cycle for approximately 8km to an exclusive location, which offers the best views and is free from crowds. After taking in the scenery, we will head back into the sea of sand and drive to the base of Mount Bromo. From here, we will hike to the top to witness the crater and the steam coming out of it. We will conclude our tour around 9 am by returning to our hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, we will begin the journey back to Surabaya airport (a three-hour drive) and then board a short one-hour flight to Bali.
