1.1-Day Mount Bromo Shared Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,001 reviews · 10 hours · from $36Our pick

Shared 1-day Mount Bromo trip from Malang: midnight jeep pickup, sunrise views, 248 stairs to the crater, plus Sea of Sand and Teletubbies.

“Our guide was a friendly guy with 10 years of experience. He brought us to a beautiful spot. Furthermore, the guide is mainly for the transport, you get less to no additional info during the trip. The minor comment would be that the guide seemed to be in a hurry to get back. This is probably usual behavior by drivers but can lead sometimes to perceived dangerous situations.”

Early pickup from Malang for a guided hike to Tumpak Sewu and Goa Tetes cave, wet falls, lunch, and easy transport.

“That was perfect, I have nothing to complain about. The driving was safe. We drove for 2 hours the get there and made a stop half way. The guide there was great and super friendly even if he doesn’t speak a good English, I mean we don’t need words to understand the few safety things he said. There are toilets everywhere so you have nothing to worry about. The waterfalls itself is one of the most beautiful things have seen in my life.

9.Tumpak Sewu Waterfall Tour start from Malang – 1D

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $23Best value

Tumpak Sewu waterfall day trip from Malang, with above and below views, stair descent, and possible Semeru rainbow in 8-9 hours.

“The transportation and guide were great. Both waterfalls were amazing. Warning - Tumpak Sewu waterfall is by no means "off the beaten path" anymore. In July, it will be swarming with hoards of tourists vying for the best instagram photo opps. The hike up and down the falls was fun and beautiful, but our actual time at the bottom of Tumpak Sewu was not great because it was just so crowded, with 20-30 minute lines waiting at every major rocky outcropping to get your picture taken. I think you'd have to arrive really early in the high season for it to not be a zoo. However, most of the tourists…”
