East Java is a land of spectacular natural wonders and cultural treasures. Among its highlights, the combination of Mount Bromo, Kawah Ijen, and Sukamade Turtle Beach offers one of the most unforgettable travel experiences in Indonesia. This tour is perfect for adventurers who want to explore volcanic landscapes, witness rare natural phenomena, and enjoy pristine wildlife encounters.
Mount Bromo is one of the most iconic volcanoes in Indonesia, located in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Travelers usually start the journey before dawn to catch the famous Bromo sunrise from Mount Penanjakan viewpoint. As the sun rises, the golden light reveals a breathtaking panorama of Mount Bromo, Mount Batok, and the majestic Mount Semeru in the background.
After sunrise, visitors descend to the Sea of Sand and climb the 250 steps to the crater rim, where they can see the active volcano emitting smoke and hear the rumbling sounds from deep inside.
Next on the journey is Kawah Ijen, located near Banyuwangi. This volcanic crater is world-famous for its blue fire phenomenon, a rare natural spectacle that can only be seen at night or before dawn. Travelers hike about 2 hours uphill to reach the rim, then descend into the crater to witness the surreal blue flames created by ignited sulfuric gases.
When the sun rises, Kawah Ijen reveals another wonder: a stunning turquoise acid lake, the largest of its kind in the world. The dramatic landscape is enhanced by local miners carrying heavy loads of sulfur, showcasing their incredible strength and endurance.
The adventure continues deep into the Meru Betiri National Park, where travelers discover the remote and pristine Sukamade Beach. Reaching this hidden paradise requires a thrilling off-road journey through tropical rainforests, rivers, and small villages.
Sukamade is most famous for its sea turtles that come ashore at night to lay eggs. Visitors have the rare opportunity to join park rangers in observing this process and even help release baby turtles into the ocean. This eco-tourism experience is not only exciting but also contributes to the conservation of endangered turtle species.
