Cheap Bromo was the tour company we went with for our day tour to Mount Bromo and Madakaripura Waterfall. We had the best day!! Our tour guide Tegar; he was so friendly, answered so many of our questions, made us feel comfortable and excellent English skills. I couldn't recommend more doing this tour is extraordinary everything you see. The early morning and long day is so so worth it.

this became one of the highlights of my indonesian trip in java island. glad i did it coz the places where my guide took me are really stunning! Arya is very a good guide,can sense his dedication to his work. bonus is he also takes good photos and knows exactly which spots are the best for the photos. the lunch included may look simple, but its quite delicious.

We had an amazing experience on the Taman Safari Prigen and Putuk Truno Waterfall Private Tour. The combination of the beautiful waterfall and the incredible safari made this one of the highlights of our trip. Putuk Truno Waterfall is stunning, with a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by lush greenery. Taman Safari Prigen was equally impressive—we loved seeing the animals up close, feeding them from the car, and watching the excellent animal shows. Our guide and driver were friendly, professional, and punctual, making the entire day smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting East Java. It is perfect for families and nature lovers. Definitely a 5-star experience!

we had an amazing experience on the Tumpak Sewu and Jodipan Village tour. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the whole day smooth and enjoyable. The guide, Rizky, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always available to help with any questions or requests. Tumpak Sewu was absolutely breathtaking, and Jodipan Village was vibrant and full of charm. Thanks to the excellent planning and guidance, we were able to fully enjoy both destinations without any worries. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized tour with a friendly and experienced guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

we had a wonderful day exploring the lost empire of Mahjapahit, barely visitors around those ruins of the old temples, it felt so exclusive. Our driver February and our guide Hermano provide excellent service. Especially our guide speaks fluent English which helps us understand the history more in depth. I would recommend this itinerary for people who enjoy historical culture tour and avoid crowds .

What to know before visiting Surabaya

Surabaya at a glance

Surabaya’s top bookings on Klook are tours and massages, with water-based and cultural experiences also appearing among popular choices. Demand swings through the year, peaking around December and dipping sharply in March, so the city alternates between busy and much quieter periods.

Best times to visit and price patterns

Klook data show demand peaks in December and reaches a low in March. Prices drift up and down across the year: they’re typically lowest around November and rise toward a noticeable high in April. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for November or the quieter shoulder months; for the liveliest atmosphere, December is the place to be. Note that price and demand don’t always move in lockstep here—December is busy but not the absolute priciest month, while April can be among the most expensive even though demand is not at its peak.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers locking in activities for Surabaya tend to book about a week ahead, with many also booking as late as a couple of days out for last-minute plans. If you’re planning a short visit, that flexibility makes spontaneous additions easy; if you’ll travel in December, consider confirming key tours a little earlier to secure spots. Use Klook to compare options and grab experiences that fit your schedule and budget.
