Banyuwangi

It was one of the most memorable trip I have been to with lots of experience and flavors. Even though our trip to Kawah Ijen got canceled due to wildfires, we were offered alternative options and we chose Tabuhan island where we could ride a boat, enjoy our lunch and break time on the beach before we continued to go snorkeling. We also got a chance to get our footages while snorkeling to keep as a memory. Especially, our tour guide and driver Mr. Ruly was very funny and energetic to be around. Moreover, his driving skill was so admirable which we do not have to worry much as he drove us from one place to the other very safely. Overall, I would recommend to book this shared multiday tour to experience the most of Bromo and East Java. 💯💯

Yanto, nosso guia, assim como nossos motoristas Hendra e Dewa, foram fantásticos! Eles falavam um inglês excelente e eram muito entusiastas, tornando a experiência maravilhosa. Yanto foi muito proativo ao nos ajudar a subir o Ijen, auxiliando-nos em terrenos mais difíceis e até encontrando o fogo azul para nós, mesmo sem ter uma máscara de gás para ele próprio. Ele ainda comprou banana frita e tauhu isi para nós com o próprio dinheiro! Os motoristas também foram fantásticos, dirigiram com segurança, parando quando precisávamos ir ao banheiro ou almoçar, e não havia fumaça de cigarro no carro, o que foi um ponto super positivo para mim. No geral, foi uma experiência fantástica e não temos como agradecer o suficiente aos moradores locais.

There's a website with more info of the actual itinerary and what to prepare after booking which was useful. Car is clean and guide is friendly. Booked 4D3N so not too rush. We were able to see the sunrise at Bromo & Ijen. Ijen was not too easy to climb, certain areas are steep. Also if you want to see both blue flames and sunrise you got hike fast. We didn't had time for blue flames but managed to get a good timelapse of sunrise. Local guide at Tumpak Sewu Waterfall directs you to all the photo spots and good at taking photos. He even managed to stitch up a short video with and background music for us in such a short time.

Great experience from start to finish! We had an absolutely amazing experience throughout the trip. Just make sure you are somewhat active for the hike! It can be quite exhausting to wake up early in the morning back to back, but it was definitely worth the experience. Our guide was awesome, explained everything to us well, took care of us well & made sure we were okay. Overall awesome 👍

se você está pensando em ir para Ijen, deve parar de pensar e ir logo! É um lugar e uma vista muito bonitos. A lava azul não é tão grande, mas ainda assim é legal de ver. Além disso, a caminhada foi pesada, mas com um pouco de força de vontade você consegue. Há 5 pontos de parada onde você pode descansar.

very good experience. the guide and the driver was very helpful and was able to give good service. all informations related to the trip was given in advance so we can prepare accordingly. they guided along the way and also gave briefing. highlighly recommend.

Our three-day, two-night East Java volcano tour truly exceeded our family's expectations! We learned after booking that the Ijen crater was closed. The travel agency not only promptly informed us but also actively helped us adjust our itinerary, even adding the Madakaripura Waterfall, which turned out to be the most surprising and memorable part of our trip. The three-day, two-night private tour was absolutely worth it! We had a dedicated guide and driver with us the entire time. Our guide, Jiaxin, is a native Indonesian but speaks fluent Chinese, so communication was seamless. Along the way, he shared many stories about the volcanoes, culture, and local life, and he also took excellent care of our family of four. During the trip, my husband, who suffers from severe sleep apnea, had a very strong reaction to the high altitude. Jiaxin meticulously looked after him, especially during the climb up Mount Ijen, where he accompanied and supported him almost the entire way. This allowed me to focus on caring for our two children without having to juggle responsibilities between family members. His attentiveness and sense of responsibility truly touched us. (And we even saw the beautiful artificial blue fire at the volcano!) Throughout the journey, Jiaxin also adjusted the pace according to our family's condition, arranging timely breaks, helping us take photos, and recommending local delicacies, making the entire trip very relaxed and comfortable. At Mount Bromo, when we were delayed and missed breakfast, he quietly arranged for the hotel to save meal boxes for us, so we had food waiting as soon as we returned to the hotel – truly thoughtful. I must also commend our driver, Agus Botak. Every day involved long drives of over four hours, often on winding mountain roads in East Java, and sometimes even starting in the early morning. Yet, he was always energetic and drove smoothly, allowing us to rest comfortably in the car. For families traveling with children, a safe and reliable driver is incredibly important. What touched us most was that they didn't treat this job as a routine task; they genuinely cared for every traveler. These three days brought us not only beautiful scenery but also heartwarming human connection. This was the best travel experience I've had in Southeast Asia to date, which is why I'm writing this review so earnestly, hoping it can serve as a reference for others. From the travel agency's arrangements and the guide's professionalism to the driver's attentiveness, they left me with a wonderful impression of Indonesia. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. I also want to add that the cost of this private tour includes one meal, local guides for Madakaripura Waterfall and Ijen Volcano, all entrance fees, and necessary equipment, so there's no need to worry about additional expenses – it's truly worth it! ❤️

Our driver Dephy is really nice and helpful, made the trip really smooth.

Nossa viagem de 4 dias e 3 noites para Bromo, a Chama Azul de Ijen e a Cachoeira Tumpak Sewu foi absolutamente perfeita! As acomodações providenciadas foram excelentes e muito confortáveis, permitindo-nos descansar muito bem após cada dia fisicamente exigente. ​Queremos agradecer especialmente ao nosso guia Anam e ao nosso motorista. O motorista dirigiu com tanta suavidade que pudemos descansar confortavelmente durante as longas viagens. Nosso guia Anam foi incrivelmente profissional e dedicado; ele nos apresentou profundamente a cultura e a história local de Java ao longo do caminho, proporcionando-nos uma compreensão muito mais rica dos lugares que visitamos. ​Seja guiando-nos pela caminhada da meia-noite para ver a Chama Azul de Ijen ou explorando a cachoeira, o Anam sempre priorizou a nossa segurança. Além de tudo isso, ele é um fotógrafo incrível! Ele nos ajudou a tirar tantas fotos deslumbrantes, criando memórias inesquecíveis. Altamente recomendado para esta equipe, experiência 5 estrelas!
