Booking a tour for Mount Bromo is definitely worth it. Our guide, Rizky, was amazing and is a truly thoughtful and patient person. With his years of experience, he ensured we had the best viewing spot for the sunrise. He even went above and beyond by bringing a yoga mat for us to sit on and a blanket, which was much appreciated since it was surprisingly cold. I would recommend this tour 11/10. Cheers!

As my first solo trip,I was scared and doubtfull. The schedule somehow similar to the package,with some changes. Day 1: Tumpak Sewu Driver Andika was punctual and nice.Guide Widodo was helpful and good photographer!He stayed when I struggled climbing up. We stayed at Jamilah H’stay,far from town.The room wasn’t soundproof and the shared toilet was small. But the receptionist was very helpful. Day 2: Seruni Viewpoint Driver Frankie was friendly.We took a jeep near Seruni VP and had no guide, but everything went smoothly.Breakfast was prepared before continue to Kawah Ijen. Day 3: Kawah Ijen Our driver was skillful despite the long journey from Bromo.Hadi Homestay was spacious with better facilities.At 12:30 AM, we started the hike.Our guide Iqbal,was very helpful.Toughest hike,but he brought us to see the blue fire and lake without pressuring.We followed our own pace and made it! Going down,I took the “Lamborghini” for 500k—worth every penny! Tips: Stretch and warm up before hiking!

This was the first time my friend and I visited East Java and we chose the Klook tour organized by JVTO. It was a very enjoyable and fuss free holiday. Tour was well planned with some flexibility to cater to personal interests. Quality of accomodation was good for the price. Driver was safe and skillful. Guides were friendly and professional. Will definitely recommend to others especially if you are keen to explore the amazing volcanoes and waterfalls in the region.

We booked a package with JVTO via Klook for our 3D2N adventure trip. Shoutout to Fredy and Fauzi for always accommodating to us; from entertaining our nonsense/requests and also for always making us break into laughter with their fresh set of jokes. We are really grateful and thankful to have them as our guide and driver. They make this trip a really stress- free, enjoyable and a memorable one. We would like to also express our biggest appreciation for always being patient with us especially during the hike. May God bless yall!🤍

Our trip to Mount Bromo and Tumpak Sewu was incredible. We were blessed with a clear, full view of Bromo at sunrise. Just a heads-up: the hikes are much steeper than expected! The trek down to Tumpak Sewu involves very narrow, high stairs, but the waterfall is worth every bit of effort. Our guide and driver, Sunny, was amazing—patient, friendly, and kept us comfortable the entire time. Regarding accommodation, we were moved from Artha Cottage to Harmoni Guest House. It was a nice substitution, especially with the stunning view of the Semeru volcano. Highly recommended for anyone up for a bit of a climb!

if you have one whole extra day in Surabaya, this is the best package. we went with 4 team member (including me) and the tour guide, Andrea pickup and drop us from our hotel. Andrea also very knowledgeable on history and local issue so its not just a visit but we also learn about Mount Bromo. I highly recommend this package... no wonder its a Klook choice

Our trip to Mt. Bromo & Madakaripura completely exceeded all expectations! The views were absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. A special shoutout to our guide, Shaam, who was incredibly kind, compassionate, and took such wonderful care of us throughout the journey. Our driver was equally great, making the entire trip smooth and comfortable. Everything was beyond perfect, and we truly loved every single moment of it. Highly recommended!

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
