Erkunden Sie den Vulkan Bromo - beginnen Sie in Surabaya // 2 Tage 1 Nacht

We had a wonderfull trip wat our kind guide Herry! We departed from Malang and the whole trip was perfectly planned. You have to get up early for it but it is 100% worth it. Breathtaking views and an impressive sunrise at the Bromo volcano.

I have mixed feeling but both our guide Didin and the volcano did the job! Ups: - Guide Didin very friendly. Was waiting for us at Surabaya station with some fruits. He gave us informations about Java, bought us some local fruits (coconut, sugar cane, snake fruits, etc) and he could show us the best spots at Bromo volcano. - we had a big van for our family of 4. Since we had a long road between Bromo and Ketapang harbour, we had a lot of space in the van. The kids could sleep after the very early wake up to see Bromo. - the sunrise views on Bromo are just amazing and are totally worth the early wake up. Downs: A little disappointed with the Smartline agency. - I had to remind them of my train tickets that they had to buy from Yogja to Surabaya - They did not inform us that Ijen volcano was closed though we had booked a 3 days/2 nights tour. By chance, I heard from a local guide in Yogja that the Ijen volcano was closed and I was the one contacting Smartline for an update. Luckily, I was able to modify our travel arrangements for the rest of our trip but I think that a travel agency should keep clients informed about such important informations. - The hotel that the agency booked for us was really low standard and badly situated due to a late booking on their side. Initially, they proposed Lava Cafe which is not high standard but right at the entrance of Bromo. Finally, we ended up in Lava hill resort which is at a much lower altitude which means that you need to wake up about 1 hour earlier!

Fantastische trip gehad! Afstemming vooraf verliep heel prettig en soepel via de mail. Wij wilden starten in Surabaya en eindigen in Malang. Dit was geen enkel probleem. Na het doen van de aanbetaling (tip: Revolut of vergelijkbare app), ga je er toch maar vanuit dat iemand je op komt halen bij je hotel. In ons geval bleek dit Didik te zijn. En we hadden ons geen betere driver/gids kunnen wensen! Via whatsapp nam hij een dag van tevoren al contact op. Didik spreekt goed Engels, stond altijd al klaar voor de afgesproken tijd, is heel sociaal en mede dankzij hem hebben we een hele leuke tijd gehad!
