Bromo Ijen Tumpak Sewu Start Bali (Classic Route)

Q: Is this tour suitable for families or older travelers?

A: Yes! Compared to our "Adrenaline Loop," the Bromo Ijen Tumpak Sewu Start Bali has a much more balanced pace. While Bromo and Ijen still require some walking, the inclusion of Malang and Batu provides plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Q: What is the difference between the Standard and Full Board packages?

A: The Standard Package only includes daily breakfast at the hotel; you will pay for your own lunch and dinner at restaurants recommended by our guide. The Full Board Package is "all-in," covering 4x Lunch and 3x Dinner at curated local spots, so you don't have to worry about extra costs during the trip.

Q: What time should my flight arrive and depart from Surabaya (SUB)?

A: * Arrival: We recommend arriving before 10:00 AM on Day 1 to ensure enough time for the Madakaripura Waterfall visit. Departure: We recommend booking a flight after 06:00 PM on Day 4 so you can enjoy the Malang/Batu tour without rushing back to the airport.

Q: How cold does it get in Bromo and Ijen?

A: It can drop to 5°C – 10°C at the Bromo sunrise points and Ijen crater. We highly recommend bringing a warm jacket, gloves, and a beanie. Once the sun is up, it warms up to a comfortable 15°C – 20°C.

Q: Do I need a physical fitness certificate for Ijen?

A: As of 2024/2025, some regulations require a basic health certificate. Don't worry, our team can assist you in getting a quick medical check-up at the local clinic near the base camp for a small fee (approx. IDR 25k - 50k).

Q: Is the food provided in the Full Board package Halal?

A: Absolutely. All meals provided in our packages are 100% Halal. We carefully select restaurants that are clean and popular with international tourists. Vegetarian or vegan options are also available upon request.

Q: What kind of vehicle will we use?

A: For 2–4 people, we use a private Avanza Veloz or Innova reborn Venturer. It is a spacious, modern, and air-conditioned car, perfect for the long drives between Surabaya, Ijen, and Malang.
