Day 1: Arrival & A Journey Through Surabaya’s History
Your Surabaya City Tour 3D2N begins with a warm welcome. Our team will pick you up from Juanda Airport or Surabaya Railway Station, ready to start your adventure. The first stop is the Submarine Monument (Monkasel), a real-life submarine that once belonged to the Indonesian Navy. Purchased from the Soviet Union, this vessel was one of the most advanced of its time. Exploring its interior offers a fascinating glimpse into naval history. Just a short distance away, we will visit the iconic Suro and Boyo Statue, the official symbol of Surabaya, representing a legendary battle between a shark (“suro”) and a crocodile (“boyo”).
Next, we’ll immerse ourselves in the city’s heroic past at the Heroes Monument (Tugu Pahlawan) and the adjacent Museum of Struggle. This is the heart of Surabaya’s history, a place that commemorates the fierce battle of November 10, 1945. You’ll learn about the city’s courageous role in the fight for Indonesian independence, complete with historical artifacts and displays. After a morning filled with history, we’ll enjoy a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, our journey continues to the House of Sampoerna (HOS). This beautifully preserved colonial-style building is more than just a cigarette museum; it’s a living testament to Indonesia’s industrial heritage. You can witness the intricate process of hand-rolling cigarettes, explore the company’s fascinating history, and admire the stunning architecture. From HOS, we will head to the Ampel and Arab Quarter, a vibrant and historic neighborhood. This area is the center of Surabaya’s Arab community and is home to the tomb of Sunan Ampel, one of the revered “Wali Songo” (Nine Saints) who spread Islam in Java. Here, you can feel the spiritual energy, explore the bustling traditional market filled with religious artifacts, and savor authentic local snacks. Finally, we’ll check into your hotel for a break.
At 7:00 PM, we’ll pick you up for a special Romantic Surabaya Tour by night. We’ll find a great spot to enjoy authentic Surabaya culinary delights for dinner. Afterward, we’ll visit the magnificent Suramadu Bridge, which connects Java and Madura Island. As Indonesia’s longest bridge, it is a truly spectacular sight at night, illuminated by thousands of sparkling lights that create a beautiful and mesmerizing view. After this enchanting experience, we will return to the hotel for a restful night.
Day 2: Fun Exploration & The Modern Side of Surabaya
Day two is dedicated to exploring the “fun” side of Surabaya, a day of leisure, nature, and modern city life. We’ll start the morning at Kenjeran Park, a large, integrated tourist area on the city’s coast. This park offers a variety of attractions, including a water park, a four-faced Buddha statue, and a magnificent Dragon and Goddess Guan Yin statue, which showcases unique Chinese-Buddhist architecture.
Before the day gets too hot, we’ll visit the magnificent Surabaya Grand Mosque for a photo stop. This stunning mosque, with its striking architecture, is a symbol of the city’s religious diversity and faith. We will also have lunch at a restaurant in this area, offering a blend of local flavors.
Next, we’ll visit the Surabaya Zoo, one of the oldest and largest in Southeast Asia. While acknowledging its storied past, the zoo today offers a chance to see a fascinating collection of Indonesian animals, including the Komodo dragon. In the afternoon, we will visit the House of Batik, the city’s largest batik gallery. Here, you can admire the intricate art of hand-stamped and hand-drawn batik and perhaps purchase a unique souvenir. We’ll then return to the hotel for a brief rest.
At 7:00 PM, we’ll head out for a vibrant evening at G-Walk, one of the largest and most popular culinary centers in West Surabaya. This bustling hub is the perfect place for a “fun” night out. With a fantastic array of local street food vendors and trendy cafes, G-Walk is a favorite hangout spot for locals and a great place to experience the city’s lively atmosphere. We’ll find a delicious dinner here before heading back to the hotel to rest and prepare for the final day of your tour.
Day 3: Souvenirs & Farewell
On the final day of your Surabaya City Tour 3D2N, we’ll make sure you have everything you need before your departure. The morning is dedicated to a personalized shopping experience, focusing on unique Surabaya souvenirs.
